The Flood You Never Heard About

Courtesy of Newsbusters, this excellent piece on the unbelievable devastation in Nashville.

What a difference a city makes. No national news media falling all over themselves to blame the government, to cry out "these people need help". No Sean Penn boating around and calling the government response a shame and a scandal. No loud-mouth demands of "where da gummint at?" No looting, no pillaging, no chaos.

Why? My opinion is that they are the wrong color. The national media and the liberal left have slowly, carefully built a narrative over the last several decades. They have built up a dependency cycle among various groups, the most shameful being among the black community. We are supposed to believe that black people are helpless. Sadly, many in the black community actually buy into this, and are the first to cry for help when something goes wrong.

Not Nashville. These are proud, self-reliant, hardworking and law-abiding types. No begging the government for help, no whining and complaining. They are simply rolling up their sleeves, and getting to work cleaning up the mess.

Oh and by the way, the financial losses in Tennessee FAR outweigh the economic losses in New Orleans. And the death toll is terrible too.

Thanks, Nashville. You have helped in restoring my faith that there are still some REAL Americans left. You know, the ones with self reliance. The ones with integrity. The ones with a spine.
