NRA gets something done in New Orleans

NRA And New Orleans Reach Agreement OnReturn Of Firearms Confiscated During Katrina Read about it here

I am so glad this has come about. I wish they would have pressed harder. And isn't it funny that we don't hear about this in the news. People, the government beat people up and took their guns for NO REASON!!! This scares the crap out of me. Stormtroppers are at the door.

TALK ABOUT INCOMPETENCE
Now here's a story you aren't going to read in many of our nations top newspapers. And why not? Because it makes our New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin to be a complete idiot, that's why not.

Here's the story, fresh from Monday night's Special Report with Brit Hume. Read this and you will know why Democrats and liberals just flat-out don't like Brit Hume or Fox News Channel.

Texas based car crushing company. Offered to remove all abandoned and flooded vehicles from New Orleans and dispose of them. K&L Auto Crushers said it would take 15 weeks to finish the job. This offer was made last October. K&L also offered to pay the city of New Orleans $100 for each car that they removed. How many cars needed removing, you ask? About 50,000. At $100 each, that adds up to a payment to the city of $5 million. Not bad. So ... did Ray Nagin take the deal? Nope. Instead of taking the offer from K&L, Ray Nagin is pursing a car removal plan that will take six months to complete, not 15 weeks, and will cost the city of New Orleans -- make that the taxpayers of New Orleans -- $23 million. Nagin balked at the K&L offer because he wasn't sure that the city had the legal right to accept the offer although there was a clear city ordinance that allowed just such a thing. So, add it up. Take the $5 million New Orleans could have had from K&L Auto Crushers and add it to the $23 million the city will spend to get rid of the cars, and you have a total cost to the taxpayers of $28 million.
Last night Hume also reminded us that Ray Nagin failed to order a full mandatory evacuation of New Orleans as Katrina was bearing down because he feared that the hospitality industry would sue the city if the people all left and the hurricane didn't hit. If there is one certainty in life is is that if Ray Nagin were a Republican mayor the media in this country would be clamoring for his head. Nagin gets a relative pass. There will be no 60 Minutes documentary profiling his incompetence.

By the way, Ray Nagin thinks he should be reelected.



Yet another case for the FairTax plan:
the IRS is going to allow tax preparers to sell your private information. Remember, if we instituted the FairTax plan, there would be no IRS and thus no information to sell.





Dear Internal Revenue Service:
