http://surviving-katrina.blogspot.com/2007/04/20-point-plan-to-destroy-black-new_05.html
Apr 5, 2007. 20-Point Plan to Destroy Black New Orleans. By Robert D. Bullard,.

http://surviving-katrina.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-new-orleans-has-lost-its-taste-for.html

A decent apartment in New Orleans costs an average of $900, an i...

Jul 27, 2007. Law vs. Grace. Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve? July 20, 2007. Senator Vitter and his wife just recently had a National televised interview on CNN concerning the prostitution case in DC. Now, the Senator has asked for grace concerning this matter but I must present to you - the citizens- the meaning of grace while he does his damage control and spin. He must now ask the party to move from the 10 commandments issues which are those of condemnation and not of grace. In closing, the Sen...
