THE INEVITABLE - LIBS BLAME BUSH FOR KATRINA

First our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama who were devastated today by Hurricane Katrina. Living in a hurricane prone area and having been through 8 myself and served disaster services for dozens more the people of these states have a long road ahead. Yet, as is the case in all disasters great or small the American spirit will shine as neighbor helps neighbor to recover from the storm. Despite the devastation the libs didn't take long to politicize this terrible event. Some claim the the Iraq war has caused a massive National Guard shortage thus leaving the area with less man power to recover. WRONG! Others claim that the President is being hypocritical with his concern for the victims of the storm because he is on vacation, as if a President ever really has one regardless of where he stays! Then radio reports that I heard today say that the President has directly caused global warming, (which doesn't actually exist in the first place), which has made it possible for these large storms and the hurricane frequency this and last year. Yeah right! Then the great environmentalists blame game that New Orleans has flooded so badly because the President's policies have allowed the destruction of the marsh lands around the city. Never mind that the WHOLE city is below sea level and is surrounded on three sides by water and has to use pumps to keep from flooding in normal thunder storms. Leave it to the libs to find a way to always blame a Republican for natural acts that have occurred since the dawn of time.
