Gee Dubya Drops the Ball
New Orleans. Crime has followed one of the worst hurricane disasters in American history. There is raping, looting and murder happening on the streets of New Orleans as you read this. As promised federal aid is still being awaited on by suffering survivors of the hurricane.
So where are you? Where is the promised National Guard? Where are the buses promised to take the starving survivors? As the tensions rise in New Orleans, news people have moved as for fear of being attacked by the growing mob of angry survivors.
Why is it, whenever another country has problems, our government seems to be right there right now? But this is right here. Could it be that the majority of the people stranded in New Orleans are democratic black voters?
I was thinking that maybe, the Federal government isn't responding because New Orleans isn't an oil-bearing area, but then, Gee Dubya said that gas is rising because of the Hurricane. So what's up?
And what about all the rich hollywood types? You know, the ones living in 12 bedroom mansions by themselves? Why aren't they stepping up? The majority of donations come from people like you and me, the people that can't afford to donate but beleive in karma and the "Golden Rule". My mother, who takes in foster kids since 1979, and barely makes enough to feed all the kids taken in, wants to drive down there with her mini van and pick up as many as she can and find them homes, emphysema and all!
Just another way to prove that you cannot depend on our federal government to come through for us in a pinch. Just give them your votes, and your taxes, and have a nice day!
