Lessons of Katrina

The Moveon.org, we hate Bush push is on! The liberal seminar callers and letter writers are in overtime hitting their “Blame Bush” buttons. It’s all Bush’s fault. You stub your toe, it’s Bush’s fault. Your dog makes a mess on the carpet, that’s Bush’s fault too. If the sun went super-nova tomorrow that would be blamed on Bush somehow in the 17 or so minutes before we all were incinerated.

The obvious incompetence of the mayor of New Orleans and governor of Louisiana is being shown more and more every day.

More information is being uncovered of how they were warned that this exact catastrophe was going to happen, (not if, but when), yet they continue to beat on the “It’s Bush’s fault” drum. I find it interesting that Florida suffered four hurricanes last year, and they handled the situation very well.

So then why is Louisiana so much different? Because the local and state officials there sat on their hands and expected everyone else to deal with this. Why didn’t the mayor evacuate people prior to the hurricane? Why were police officers told not to come to work on the day of the hurricane? Why were buses that were offered to move people the day before the hurricane hit refused by the mayor? Why was the Red Cross turned away at Louisiana’s borders? Why did the governor refuse to sign the orders to allow the federal troops to come in earlier? What part of Category 5 hurricane did they not understand?

Use your heads people. Stop letting the liberal Moveon.org propagandists fool you.
