These helpless crybabies couldn't find a way to get out of New Orleans when Katrina was coming, but now that they want something, they can sure get back AND tear down fences.
Story
A bunch of welfare recipients who used to infest the New Orleans housing projects are tired of waiting nicely for another handout. They have mostly been living in free housing in other cities that was paid for by us taxpayers but now that FEMA has said "enough" and threatened to turn off their free rent payments, they're surging back into New Orleans and demanding new public housing in the old complexes and threatening to tear down the fences and just take the units of the government doesn't hand them the keys.
Welfare recipient Karen Downs and other addressed the New Orleans City Council on Wednesday, according to the New Orleans Times Picayune. She says that her and other welfare recipients plan to take back their former homes at the 7th Ward complex this weekend, even if it means breaking through the razor-topped chain-link fence that the Housing Authority of New Orleans installed after Katrina.
"Guess what?" Downs said at the podium inside council chambers. "Saturday and Sunday, we're going to tear it (the fence) down."
"My two daughters and I are homeless," said Renell Carter, another welfare queen who spent part of her 30th birthday Wednesday pleading with city and HANO officials to reopen the Florida housing complex, where she lived until Katrina. "My rent was $212 and my house was beautiful. You got landlords who want to know if you're working. My job won't be back. I can't go back without a house. I'm living with someone else."
So despite being 30 years old, she's apparently still not working and dislikes the fact that outside of public housing, landlords expect you to have a job. What a shock! But she feels entitled to a "beautiful house" for only $212 a month. How many of us working people can have a nice house for that?
Not that I don't feel bad for some of these women. They bear some of the responsibility for being useless whiners but much of the blame has to go to the government--particularly the Democrats--who have for decades told women like this that it's ok to have a bunch of kids and lay around not working. It was understood that the government would give them all comfortable lifestyles at the expense of all the working people in America so long as they kept voting Dem every election. But now those chickens are coming home to roost and far from being grateful, the second-handers are now growing angry because the free stuff isn't coming as fast as they want it to.
Now I onject to the fact that the city wasted precious resources rebuilding any of these units at all, but at least HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson took a partial step in the right direction by announcing that the new units would only be made available to people who did not have criminal records and who had jobs. But those people tend to have a bit more pride and they can find their own housing at market rates. So what we have now is some empty units and some very angry lifestyle pan-handlers demanding that they be given those units just because... well I don't know why they think that they're entitled to free completely refurbished apartments. They don't even bother telling us why themselves. They're just demanding the keys or else.
As a case-in-point, Kim Paul, a residents leader at the Iberville complex, said tenants are being locked out of "their" pre-Katrina apartments that are in move-in condition.
"When will the rest of Iberville reopen?" Paul asked. "At the end of the month, I'm going to Texas and get my people. "We're coming home."
This from a woman who couldn't lift a finger to get "her people" out when the storm came in almost a year ago.
Sheesh!
Maybe we can work out a deal with Vicente Fox: We'll keep a million or so of his illegal citizens that are here working and staying out of trouble, but he has to take all these whiny baby factories and professional lay-a-bouts to Mexico in return.
