  1. What I like about men (and I mean men) is how much they can enjoy themselves even during a disaster.

  2. It seems to me the difference between Texas and Louisiana is the after disaster approach to relief. One is a let’s get the boat/lifted truck/gospel choir out and the other is waaaaa/we’re all dying/let’s rape someone.

  3. There’s lot’s of irony in the cartoon. First of all, Houston is overwhelmingly liberal democrat and voted heavily for Hillary. Secondly, if people exist like those depicted in the cartoon, they would be the ones who are self reliant, own boats, have some food and water stashed away and are helping with the rescue. The ones being picked off of roofs would be the Hillary I love the government voters.

  6. BTW … LOVE the Monster Truck clip. Gotta love NASCAR America and their love of ICE POWER ! Let’s see a Tesla SUV do that … the entire battery pack would discharge inside of 5 minutes of trying.

  7. Angels sent by God indeed. In those dreaded SUVs and pickup trucks. With big tires.

  8. Beautiful. Overcoming difficulties is really inspiring. Throw in some helping of others in trouble and it only gets better.

  9. There is an old internet page with Tips for Living in The South. One of the tips which is certainly true of the video above is this one:
    4. If you do run your car into a ditch, don’t panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don’t try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
    The contrast between Harvey, where people help each other and are self-reliant, and Katrina, where people just stood around and asked when the government was going to get there to help, is telling.

  10. Fully 10years POST-Katrina … network sports announcers were still saying that it would be a “confidence builder” for the victims of Katrina if the New Orleans Saints would WIN (insert regular season game here).
    I wonder if the same will be said of the Houston Texans … and their flood victim fans ?
    You already KNOW the answer.

  12. PPPPS … has the Mayor of Houston, Victoria, or Corpus Christi called their cities … “chocolate towns” yet ? Yeah, didn’t think so. Identity politics is more Blue-state “Louisiana”

  13. That is the difference between progressives and conservatives.
    Note that it is also the progressives that are trying to make cheap political points of all sorts on this natural disaster as they also did on Katrina. Meanwhile it is conservatives that donate money and NGOs like Samaritan’s Purse, Red Cross, and Sallyann that have people on the ground. Samaritan’s Purse sent people there to set up days before landfall. What do liberals do, cheap shot cartoons like above.

  14. “Yes sir, yes sir” “Texas City, yes sir” “we’re going to try save some lives” “yes sir” “yes sir” …

    Texans, saving Texans, and although I don’t know, certainly sounding like the man has his military background in his back pocket.

  15. Lets look at this logically
    The Nazis were the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party – Leftists
    Houston is predominately Democrat- Leftists
    The Democrats had eight years of Obama to make the oceans recede
    Charlie Hebdo, by accident admittedly, got it right.

  16. How Chick-fil-A Played a Role in This Grandmother’s Rescue on Jet Ski
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vu_fgE9hxc
    An incredible image shows a grandmother being evacuated from her flooded Houston home on the back of a jet ski. The photo of Karen Spencer provided some light relief amid the devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey. In another image, her husband, J.C., is seen on the back of a second jet ski. Incredibly, it turns out that Chick-fil-A played a crucial role in their rescue. The manager of the restaurant, where the two are regulars, had called her husband, who owns a boat, to go and get them.
    Enjoy!
    Cheers

  18. That’s pretty much true in all of the flyover states. Family first, then everyone else they can get to. When my wonderfully adroit Eldo Touring Coupe died and slid sideways down two hills on the iced over roads leading out of the neighborhood, the farmer across the street from where the car came to rest fired up his massive John Deere tractor and started waving an equally massive hook and chain in the general direction of my beautiful coupe. I had to engage him from outside the vehicle with effusive gratitude and stern conviction to convince him no rescue was necessary. I just needed to nurse it to the verge to gain some traction. He was just itching to rescue a Cadillac. As if.
    I recall the Minister of Finance acquired some roofing nails in a tire of his two wheel drive Silverado. He pulled off the county road further then he should have to make way for the soy bean trucks coming and going from Bunge and got stuck as well. He was going to fix the flat first when three guys in about a 20 year old Silverado stopped, jumped out, elbowed him out of the way, fixed the truck and then left. He said it happened so fast, he almost felt violated. The MofF is a man’s man who can do a little of everything very well. Wish there was a video of the encounter.

  19. Couldn’t help but notice that was one of my beloved Toyota 4Runners doing the heavy lifting.

  21. Very possible they are National Guard, and in their own neighbourhood, so not really embarrassed because they’d be using their own trucks to do the same thing if they were off duty.

  22. Angels? Coast Guard? Same thing. Bang Gunley. USCG.1957-1965. Do it again in a heartbeat. But at 80 I can’t pass the physical. And we didn’t give a s**t who we saved.

  24. note the dumm rednecks are smart enough to let the water drain out of the nat guard vehicle as it emerges before taking it the rest of the way.
    some things, well, can’t be ‘taught’.
    my daddy was *literally* a redneck. he worked out side his whole life and sported the ‘farmer tan’ in summer and the sunburned RED neck.
