It was two days after Hurricane Katrina vanden Heuvel slammed in to the Gulf Coast and the democrats started looking for someone to blame. Not surprisingly, it was the same person they’ve blamed for every problem anywhere in the history of the planet, ever since Hurricane Hate struck the Democratic Party in January of 2001. Indeed, the media’s assertions that we are witnessing history are correct. Never before has one political party blamed so much on one person. Like the supposedly sluggish economy, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, oil prices, and the failure of After MASH, Hurricane Katrina vanden Heuvel’s destruction can be blamed on President George W. Bush.
One would think the media would have exposed the left’s lunacy by now, if only they weren’t in their back pocket. Recall how mad they went when the likes of Jerry Falwell claimed the attacks of 9/11 (which liberals and their media have long since forgotten about) were a punishment from God for America’s tolerance of abortion, witchcraft and feminism. Hurricane Katrina vanden Heuvel, on the other hand, is apparently a punishment from the left’s god of “mother nature” for America’s tolerance of SUV’s, President Bush, and his immoral, illegal, imperialist war for oil and Zionism in Iraq.
Indeed, this is proof of the old adage that truth is stranger than fiction as some of the left’s latest comments wouldn’t even make The Onion or Weekend Update. Global warming has been commonly invoked by the likes of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Arianna Huffington. This phenomenon, of course, was caused by President Bush, since everyone on the left knows that global warming did not exist before January 20, 2001. Never mind that far more destructive hurricanes have existed before then and even before President Bush himself was born. Global warming also could have been stopped by him, if only he would have destroyed the American economy and pushed the US Senate to ratify the Kyoto Protocol (a treaty not even fit for the many trees that had to be cut down to put the thing on paper) - the same Senate that voted 95-0 to not even look at it.
Maybe it was also President Bush’s fault for not having enough National Guardsmen in New Orleans. Never mind that practically every elected official in the state has said that there were, in fact enough. Yes, if only those Guardsmen weren’t off fighting in Bush’s evil, immoral, illegal, imperialist war for oil and Zionism in Iraq they could have been helping those evacuees in the Superdome (instead of doing both). Or maybe President Bush won’t authorize enough federal aid to help the region, just like he apparently did when the tsunami struck East Asia. Never mind that America was one of the world’s most generous donors in that event, and certainly pledged more money than some countries (cough, France, cough).
Recall the aftermath of the Mississippi River floods of 1995 when Congress sent an aid package so full of pork it would have made a fine Easter dinner. Congressmen from states such as Massachusetts, Alaska, and West Virginia (which didn’t happen to border the Mississippi River) made sure their constituents received generous aid, whether they needed it or not. Yes, President Bush will surely be blamed if Alaska doesn’t get another Bridge to Nowhere, Massachusetts doesn’t get another underground freeway, or Robert Byrd doesn’t get another statue.
I suppose it doesn’t really matter what President Bush does or doesn’t do in the coming weeks and months, since he can do no right with the left anyway. For those of you who aren’t simply ignoring the loony left’s media coverage of Hurricane Hate, we are already seeing the true spirit of America, the same spirit that emerged in the wake of the 9/11 attacks (the same attacks which the left has forgotten about). Americans are pouring forth effort and aid in the hopes of rebuilding the Gulf Coast and showing solidarity with the people of New Orleans. Given time, this spirit will carry through and succeed in rejuvenating the area long before Hurricane Hate’s barrage of Bush-bashing and anti-Americanism wears off. On the other hand, I suppose that if Americans took the left seriously they would have won an election by now.

Now you've got me thinking. I really enjoy this blog, I'll definitely pop around more often, keep it up!
Feel free to pay a visit to my Canada immigration site. It might not be your "cup of tea", but it covers Canada immigration related topics.
Personally, I'd like to see some of those comments from the "loony left" that put the blame for the hurricane squarely on Bush. Yes, it was a tragedy. Yes, I've donated money to the Red Cross. If I hadn't already done so in late July, I'd've given blood as well.
However, I do feel that some of the resources that are being spent in the Persian Gulf could easily be rerouted to save people in our own Gulf. Congress is helping, however, by sending $10 billion in aid to the area. The real blame for what happened in New Orleans lies on those who neglected to think that a Category 5 hurricane, such as ones that hit all along the Gulf coast from Florida to Galveston, would never hit the Big Easy. The rescue effort could've been a little better executed, but again, the blame doesn't lie with the President; it lies with the FEMA director and those who say that laws prevented them from getting their butts down there saving people. Even President Bush isn't pleased with the rescue efforts.
And finally, I'm personally glad that the Bush Administration did increase the amount of aid sent to the tsunami region. I remember the old adage "What goes around, comes around." By helping out over there, we bought back some of the positive associations with America that has been lost on the rest of the world after Iraq. Now, in a time when we are in need, many nations are rallying to help us. What's interesting is that many countries who would consider us an adversary are stepping up and offering help, such as Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and yes, even France. In order to build a better world unity and help improve our world standing even more, we should accept their help with open arms and reciprocate when their time of need comes up, whether it's Britain or Cuba.
