This week I will be focusing on a subject that is near and dear to me. Tomorrow is the one year anniversiary of 8/29. This week, I feel it appropriate to name Ray Nagin a true patriot.
You see, when Bush was playing guitar in San Diego, before flying over New Orleans for an Air Force One photo-op, Ray Nagin was down in the thick of things on 8/29. When people wouldn't listen, Ray just spoke louder.
Sure Ray has said some blunt things in the aftermath of 8/29, but they needed to be said. Everyone wants a chocolate New Orleans. Chocolate is much more pleasant than the smell the city had before!
When Ray was challenged by an America-First-God-Squad reporter on the speed of recovery in post 8/29 New Orleans, he pointed out that the World Trade Center is still nothing but a hole in the ground. If you don't respect Ray after 8/29, don't expect any in return.
Another thing that I respect about Ray Nagin is that he's a recovering Republican. That's right folks. Ray used to be one of them way back before 8/29. He supported George Bush in 2000 and Bobby Jindal in 2003. He wasn't a democrat until he decided to run for mayor, but now, after 8/29, I'm proud to say that he's in my corner.
Don't change Ray! Keep telling them like it is, even if they don't like it. The America-first-God-Squad media will keep attacking you, but I'll always have your back. Ray Nagin, true American patriot.

I believe that Ray is among many who have switched sides. People tend to run off at the mouth but his statement towards a 'chocolate' city so rings true. If you watch the footage from those trying to escape the worst hit areas there are rearly any 'white' people in it.
Great post!

Thanks for visiting, come back often!
I appreciate your comments. The problem with Nagin's comments are always that while they are true, they are certainly not the most politically correct way to put the message. When you are in a position like Nagin currently finds himself, everything you do is under the microscope.
Willington,
Nagin criticized our divinely-inspired President, and then had the gall to question New York's recovery after 9/11, showing that he's forgotten 9/11. Willington, have you forgotten 9/11?
Willington, why do you hate America?

Douglas Brinkley has pointed out that Ray Nagin was not quite "in the thick of things." He set up a command base in the penthouse of the tallest hotel in NO and remained there for "security reasons."
