Conservative, RW christians don't like cities anyway.

I don't think that class warfare or racism alone explains the evident lack of concern for the loss of NO.

These guys don't like cities in the first place. The Harpers' article on the megachurch in Colorado Springs noted this, as the megachurch's humongous facilities really are nowhere near Colorado Springs.

Greenfields, newly filled with strip malls, office parks, and low low LOW density residential development, all connected by four lane roads--that's the vision. Orderly, in the sense of privately owned with no public spaces and no contact with fellow Americans other than voluntary ones. No social compact aside from a paid membership of some sort. No family, friends, church, neighborhood to dissuade you from moving another ten miles away. And always lots of parking!

I don't need to go into all the more negative stereotyping of cities that go into a negative appraisal, for it isn't just the immigrants and the blacks and the lack of parking. It's actually everything. They just don't like them, or the people from them, not at all.

In conclusion: you might feel bad about the loss of a city, with it's history, its clamor, it's big messy crowd scenes, it's quiet corners, but they don't.

They've been abandoning the cities for years.

1. Lots of Mississippi towns were wiped out

Waveland foremost among them.

2. I've been curious if Pat Robertson or someone will end up

relating the French Quarter to Sodom & Gommorah. Is incompetence really the only reason this admin has let so many die?

3. When they do

remind them that among the reasons for the destruction of Sodom and Gommerah was their pride, and their refusal to help the poor and needy.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
"Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, overabundance of food, prosperous ease, and idleness were hers and her daughters'; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abominable offenses before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it and I saw fit."

5. Well, the price of gas will take care of that bias.
