Here come the naysayers now, all whining about the Homeland Security Department's handling of the New Orleans disaster.  The liberal media is all upset about the fact that Homeland Security took over the bleeding-heart FEMA organization and gave that organization direction.  Why, before Michael Chertoff took over, FEMA was actually looking at ways to develop buildings to withstand these Acts of God!  Talk about a loose cannon. 

And they're attacking that Michael Brown like he wasn't white.  What did they expect FEMA to do, not go through channels?  Create more chaos?

If the citizens of Louisiana had listened to the Department of Homeland Security back when they should have, they wouldn't be having these problems.  Obviously, the people of New Orleans chose to ignore Tom Ridge, when he was Director, and his suggestion to stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting for just such an emergency.  There was plenty of warning.  There was plenty of time for people to get out and duct tape that plastic sheeting around their homes, so don't say the Homeland Security Department didn't offer help. 

Those who suffered losses have only themselves to blame, and they should quit pointing fingers at Michael Chertoff and Michael Brown and look in the mirror (if they have a mirror left).
