if your city got hit by an earthquake, a flood, a tornado, a hurricane, wouldn't YOU want the government to come in and help (literally) save YOU and YOURS? or; would you rather wallow in your own waste, starve and die? your choice
(and what gets me the MOST is this creature is PROUD to have wanted to contribute to the deaths of citizens of the united states of america)
New Orleans editorial: ‘Steve King is heartless and proud of it’
By Lynda Waddington
In an opinion piece dubbed “Iowa Congressman Steve King is heartless and proud of it,” the staff at The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune takes particular offense to U.S. Rep. Steve King’s (R-Kiron) latest comment for a series published by The Hill that typically serves as a light-hearted glimpse of the nation’s elected officials.
In short, King is quoted as saying that his “best vote” was the one he cast against relief for victims Hurricane Katrina:
…Q: What vote would you like to redo?
A: I don’t really go back and re-live that sort of thing. Some of the big votes that I’ve thought about, some of the jury’s still out. And at this point, maybe I’d answer that question another way, probably with the singular vote that stands out that went against the grain, and it turns out to be the best vote that I cast, was my “no” vote to the $51.5 billion to [Hurricane] Katrina. That probably was my best vote…
It should come as no surprise that The Times-Picayune staff — many of whom felt the direct and personal wrath of Hurricane Katrina even as they attempted to cover the storm and its aftermath — wouldn’t take kindly to King’s point..............
