Note To Mark Pribonic at OTBL

Misinformed ignorance is curable...
Redneck stupidity ain't!

I noticed a post over at ontheborderline.net by Mark Pribonic titled "Self-Reliance." He pulled it from a web site out in Wyoming. It compared a 2005 blizzard with 52 inches of snow and 80 mph winds to Hurricane Katrina. Above is a comparison picture of a Wyoming blizzard and Hurricane Katrina. Below is an what Prubonic posted under the heading of "General Humor:"

Subject: Why Wyoming is a great state!
Wyoming News Bulletin
This text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of Wyoming after the storm.
Amusing, if it were not so true…WEATHER BULLETIN
Last winter in Wyoming we recovered from a Historic event —may I even say a “Weather Event” of “Biblical Proportions” –with a historic blizzard of up to 52 inches of snow and wind to 80 MPH that broke trees in half, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10’s of thousands.
FYI:
George Bush did not come...FEMA staged nothing...No one howled for the government...No one even uttered an expletive on TV...Jesse Jackson did not show up...Nobody demanded $2000 debit cards...No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House...No one looted...Phil Cantori of the Weather Channel did not come...And Geraldo Rivera did not move in.

Nope, we just melted snow for water, sent out people on horseback to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars, fired up wood stoves, broke out oil lanterns and put on an extra layer of clothes because up here it is ‘work or die’. We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for ’sitting at home’ checks."

I hi-lighted the last sentence, because I believe it helps illustrate what kind of thinking goes on at the OTBL blog site. Look at those pictures above. If you've lived in Wisconsin for a few decades, you've seen some substantial blizzards. Only a heartless, selfish redneck would be stupid enough to compare a blizzard with Hurricane Katrina. I'm sure if you read between the lines of the sentence in red, you can understand that racism is alive and well in the good ol' US of A.

Check out the pictures below. They show the day after the Wyoming blizzard and Hurricane Katrina. I hope Mr. Pribonic notices the family struggling through the flood waters is white folks. I hope Prubonic knows that two of the parishes in New Orleans each have a population equivalent to the population of Wyoming. I hope Pribonic knows Katrina devastated a section of the Gulf Coast the size of Great Britian.

...and to think it's people like Mr. Pribonic and the OTBL klan who think they know how best to run this country.
What would Jesus say?
