The blogoshere has definitely split down the middle and the Left has “flaked” off into insanity. According to many of the Leftist blogs the hurricane was entirely George Bush’s fault and he did it because of the black people in New Orleans.Yes, Dear Reader, racism has now officially arrived at the blogoshere. Guess who introduced it? You’ve got it! The Left. They seem to be the only portion of the American political spectrum to see everything defined by the color of one’s skin.
Oh, but you may say, why are all those poor black refugees seen on the newscasts? Did someone get all the white people out and deliberately leave the black people?
That’s sick!
If you care to examine the problem you will quickly learn that the population of New Orleans was 67% black. (That according to the 2000 Census.)
Check the US “Posse Comitatus” law and you will also quickly learn why the National Guard cannot act as police anywhere in America, not just New Orleans.
We also suggest you check this site to learn why the city of New Orleans knew this devastation could happen. Where was the planning?

The Political Left is offering NOTHING constructive toward solving the problem in the American southeast. Nothing! They continue to blame, and find fault with, the administration even to the point of dragging race into a non-racial event! My Lord, how low can they go? Even lower, I expect.
How dumb can they be? They wanted high gasoline prices to force conservation on the American motorist. Well, now they have them! Now what? Huh?
Where does this end? Does it end? I think not. Tempers are beginning to flare, not just in New Orleans, all over America. We are approaching a confrontation. It is not going to be pretty.
When a political organization can turn a massive human tragedy into a political event, for their own political gain, what wickedness is left for them to indulge themselves in?
Many of us, on the Political Right, are running on “toleration overload” right now! It will take only an insignificant spark to bring our capacity for more toleration of the sinister pranks of the Left to the boiling point. Believe me, you do not want to see conservatives get angry!
Currently, America is "two countries living as one nation". How much longer can we keep this up? How much longer do we want to keep this up?
It has become more than a little tiresome.

The Left wanted a responsible energy policy, but did the Bush administration propose one? No!
ReplyDeleteTheir idea of an energy policy is to subsidize the oil companies.
Just last year, the Bushites nixed a Corps of Engineer study on how to prevent the type of disaster we've just seen. Now we're stuck the the fallout.
I can't say Bush should carry all the blame. Who's to say the study would even be done by now, much less implemented?
But regardless, policy does have it's effect on all of us. This time it fell on the mostly poor people of New Orleans.
Maybe the voters will think twice before electing another right-wing cutout...
