Who's at fault?

I don't know whyI attract liberal wackos maybe earlier I got the smell of one on me and the others come to investigate, but no matter the reason I seem to continually get complaints about how poorly our government has been acting. Now don't get me wrong...I believe that the tragedy that has happened in the Gulf region could and should have been handled better, but before anybody gets really excited about me ratting on the Bush administration let me explain myself. Rather than the after-affects of the tragedy I would like to begin with the cause of much of this pain and suffering. No, I am not suggesting that we should have found a way to prevent Katrina from making landfall, but rather I am suggesting that New Orleans and Louisianna should have listened to experts that have been telling them for years that the levy system in place was not adequate. This is not and never should have been a case for the Bush administration, so all you liberals who are blaming Bush for not paying attention to the country, but rather spending money willy-nilly overseas better hold your tongues. No, it is on the heads of the liberal governments of New Orleans for the last few decades, as Thomas Lifson says in his article (http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=4784). An excellent article and a good lesson on the entrepreneurial spirit that successful conservative Americans have.

Now, I also realize that after Kanye West's comments many liberals maybe pointing the ever dingy finger of race as a major cause for ensuing tragedy after the natural disaster. Afterall, we see the majority of people left in New Orleans as black, it must be because the US government got as many white people out as possible and left everyone else. Hardly. If people would look a little closer at the racial makeup of pre-Katrina New Orleans, one may actually realize that New Orleans was something like 65% black. Can you believe, then, that the majority of those remaining in New Orleans would be black? The majority of those looting and causing trouble would be black? It is not because the government saved the white people, it is not because the blacks are terrible people, but rather because the majority of people are black, so the majority of everything left would most logically be about 65% black...seems rather simple now doesn't it. I need not then point out that the city government of New Orleans and namely the mayor were black democrats for as long as I can see. So, it logically goes that those governments who ignored the warnings of experts that said a major storm or a not-all-that-uncommon large flood of the Mississippi River could cause a tragedy like this if the levies were not reinforced, were liberal Democrats. It was these Liberal governments that missed the message of importance in saving lives in the weather reports and failed to get people to safety. Their failure to adequately adress the seriousness of the situation and have a good evacuation contingency plan has been the cause of much of this tragedy.

So, if the liberal press, and the wackos that I attract, want to begin to point fingers, I stand by the schoolyard saying, "If you point a finger at me, there are three more pointing back at yourself." A little childish perhaps, but sometimes we conservatives must use these phrases to get our points across.
