New Orleans vs. Iowa... Which area shows more of the values of most Americans? In the midwest I not read of looting, theft, robberies, or fraud. I have to wonder if the general attitude towards life is different. Is there a difference in what midwesterners and southeasterners think they are entitled to? Or is it a matter of faith? I know I've heard the complaints on statements made by various pastors about God's judgement on New Orleans for it's endorsement of sin at Mardi Gras. Maybe it's not about God's judgement; maybe, it's about the lackadaisiv attitude of the people to be proactive and think through their activity and planning. After all, weren't the funds intended for use on the levees used instead for the lake Poncintrain Bridge? I don't believe that was aational decision, yet we all pay still for the recovery. And wasn't it the people of New Orleans, and mayor that decided to not evacuate in the buses available, many because they were afraid of the theft and loss that would occur? I've not seen this in the midwest flooding. And wasn't it New Orleans that was confiscating legally obtained and owned guns from residents who stayed and were defending their own property? Again, no such reports in the midwest. Guns, God, and guts, these are the solid foundation that our nation was founded on, these are the values that will keep our nation strong, unless we get a legislature and president that would rescind the rule of natural law, given of God, the keeping of arms for self defense, and the depatriation of our family structure. We need more dads in homes with their kids, we need more moms teaching their kids responsibility, we need more people to understand that guns are necessary in the home to prevent tyranny in the nation, keep the states stromg in times of crisis and homes and ourselves safe from the plague of violent crime and unrighteous entitlement mentality.
After seeing the response of Boy Scouts during the tornado in Western Iowa , I submit that it would do the nation well to have a Boy Sout troop at every high school and a Cub Scout pack in every elementary school to encourage parental participation in the children's lives, instead of allowing the government to excoriate the scouts for exercising the right to determine the values and lessons they teach. Maybe we will have a nation again reflected in the values seen this week in the midwest. Let's See if there is any media coverage on this dicotomy in America.
