Its a Black Thing
Ok so now that the Katrina thing is winding down, at least as a political football, lets add up the scorecard:
1) Somewhere around 850 dead the last time I checked. That’s about the same number that died (750) in the Chicago heat wave during the Clinton presidency. All Clinton would have had to do was deliver bottled water. All Bush would have had to do was violate the law (posse comitatus) and federalize the National Guard so that they could somehow stop a hurricane I guess with a really, really big umbrella.
2) Self described “black leaders” rushed in, not to give any sort of aid, but to racialize the situation. In the midst of a tragedy, their effort was not to help people but to pit them against each other. I am quite sure most people’s reaction to their charge of racism in the prevention/relief effort was one of puzzlement. Somehow buffoons like Charlie Rangle, Al Sharpton and Randall Robinson still get airtime though. The latter even went so far as to say that blacks had sunk into cannibalism after four days. Somehow this was all whiteys fault, in particular George Bush’s.
3) Mayor Nagin of New Orleans did nothing. School buses were not sent out to get people as called for in the emergency plan that was already in place. His excuse? Its hard to get people to drive the buses when a hurricane is coming. Hey mayor, here’s a tip, the next time this happens call the same people who were driving those buses on election night. Ok, incompetent black mayor = racist white president. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
4) Governor Blanco needed a day to “think about it” when Bush asked her to please federalize the National Guard. Obviously pure racism. Clearly Bush was using his super extreme Haliburton ESP powers to psych out the governor and confuse her so she would make incompetent decisions so Bush could kill black people. That’s why he appoints competent black people to very high positions like secretary of state or national security advisor, because he hates them so much. That’s the difference between Bush and Clinton. Clinton did the right thing, never appointed blacks to high positions and spent less on the New Orleans levees than Bush. That’s why Clinton is the first black president and Bush is a racist. If this makes sense to you then you have mastered what Orwell referred to as doublethink, rationalizing two totally contradictory thoughts in your head, you would also probably qualify as a Democratic Party leader.
5) The news media made up events wholesale. Every major media outlet reported on the shootings in the Super Dome, the rape of babies etc. Turns out it was all made up. Some have charged racism here. That we would not have been so quick to believe those stories had it been white people. There might be some truth to that but the real point is: THE MEDIA MADE UP NEWS. That’s the story. Eye on the ball time here. After Rathergate and all the other crap it really is getting to the point where MSM really should have zero credibility. At this point should the New York Times or ABC news reporting something really have any more value than “it must be true, the guy at the corner store said it”? Why this convoluted effort to twist the medias motivations into some sort of national racism issue, when it is patently obvious that the news was hyped to both sell papers and to make Bush look bad. Did we see bodies being pulled from buildings during the Chicago heat wave? Of course not, Clinton was president.
6) Global warming caused the hurricane. Bush is particularly responsible because he did not sign the Kyoto protocol according to one of the Kennedy idiots. Deep breath time, there really are people out there who are so self centered that they actually believe this. In their minds, history begins with them. The world has never seen it unless they have. Of course they have no concept that disastrous hurricanes have been fairly regular periodic events throughout history.
So lets analyze all this from the lefts point of view and assess the score. Bush engineered the hurricane to kill black people through global warming. The incompetent leadership at the local level bears no responsibility for the response. The media made up a bunch of stories to destroy Bush and gets off with no recriminations. Black leaders through their hat in to stir up as much hatred as possible, anything to score political points. Bush is the bad guy?
