He's a Libertarian actually.  Nagin was addressing the parasitic class as
Boortz puts it when here in Atlanta.  It was all the people in free housing
and no jobs, but in general they never had one either.

And predominantly profitable as opposed a net expenditure on the parasitic class.

I didn't compare Mardi Gras to welfare and crack.  I said that in New
Orleans, Mardi Gras is to white people what welfare and crack are to black
people (at least that's the conclusion if you follow this lady's line of
reasoning).  I was thinking more in terms of who Mardi Gras attracts to
town to spend their money and not who is in the parade per se.  
Regardless, its
still odd and racist for the non-working parasitic class to have such a
point of view of entitlement that they feel the right to complain if some
group other than the parasitic class gets some attention from the
government.

She was at the meeting and not at work.

You can't rebuild without people willing to work.

As well they should.  FEMA isn't for the provision of permanent welfare.
The Hurricane was in August.  They've had plenty of time to find a relative
to live with, find a new job and secure a new place to live for their
family, etc.  The problem is that almost all these people that need to be
evicted never supported themselves before and they expect somebody to
support them forever just like in New Orleans.  That shouldn't happen.

It doesn't take 5 months to relocate to a new city, find a job, and rent an
apartment.  It does take the willingness to work however.
