Great Countries Seem To Last Only 200 Years B4 Idiots Start Crumbling The Empires.
Aren't you embarrassed that once again the world is seeing America as a week pathetic country?
At this time, most of us are watching the television and asking ourselves "who's fault is this really?" Well... really it's Mother Natures. BUT, the scale of this disaster is directly attributable to Bush. For as long as anyone can remember, the purpose of the National Guard is to take care of situations exactly like this. We have hurricanes all the time and the evacuation, feeding, clothing, and defending of the population is handled by the National Guard. They supply virtually all of the support engineering and maintenance of the levee system! Had our National Guard been here doing what they are meant to do instead of being deployed to the other side of the globe because some spoiled, ignorant drunk decided he wanted even MORE oil (and if you don't recognize that as a fair description of Bush and if you aren't outraged - you aren't paying attention!) then maybe the levee on Lake Ponchatrain wouldn't have burst; maybe the water level wouldn't have risen 20 feet; and most likely hundreds (or thousands!) of people would still be alive! There is no one who deserves more blame for this fiasco than George W Bush.
If your sitting there now asking me "Could Clinton have done this better?" Well he was president through 4 hurricanes I rode out and he was surveying the destruction within 2 days. The National Guard was there within 24 - 48 hours after the strikes. New Orleans was NOT the only city hit, and reporters are screaming "Where's the help?" Well where the hell is the help anywhere? The National Guard didn't get to Gulf Port any sooner than N.O. I really don't believe it's a color barrier, I believe it's a Southern Barrier. Suppress the poor of the south, grab the riches, and get out. I hope the politicos wake up soon and realize that the south is being over run with all their northern retirees. Maybe that will make a difference soon. It is almost laughable that Bush seems to always be on vacation or doing something that is not as important as watching over the nation when disaster strikes our nation.
People, I realize how important it is to all of us to believe that help is on the way, and that our leaders actually care whether we live or die, but it just isn't so. Those who say we should quit complaining and support our president are forgetting that massive public pressure is one of the only things our leaders do respond to, and it’s the surest way to get these fat cats off their asses to do something about this tragedy. Oh, and I remember how after 9/11 we were all supposed to shut up and "support our troupes" and not criticize the president, and look where that got us. This president cares as much about poor people staggering around the muck as he does about freedom for the Iraqi people. Give me a break. We need to make the hard realization that our country is run by looters who are robbing the world blind while people die, here there and everywhere. Let's just stop kidding ourselves for one moment. It's not all Bushes & the Republicans fault, no, the Democrats suck ass too. But Bush so richly deserves blame this time - out loud, because he's been allowed to escape it all in the past.
Human survival trumps property rights any day. Do you think Wal-Mart is going to re-sell that stuff people are taking? But that said... survival is not a flat screen TV, or a DVD player. We all know the differences. The people who are truly acting badly are the exception, and I can understand how a desperate situation pushes marginal people over the edge. But every thug with a weapon has the blood of hurricane victims all over them for stopping the relief efforts. Let's remember that many people are too poor to leave, and these people should have been evacuated not left to fend on their own and for this we have to lay the blame at the mayor of N.O's. feet. He knew who his people were, he knew how poor they are. So if you're hopping mad about looters today, remember that the real enemies wear suits and own about 80% of the country. Do you think Exxon profits are up or down? Remember also that we working people are in this together whether we like each other or not.
Now I've had my rant and I have one more thing to add...have you contributed any help yet? Go to the American Red Cross and Donate. If not money, then blood, if not blood, then your time. Donate to help our people and let the rest of the world see that we can pull ourselves up each and every time and come together and make things work out!
