The truth is black people died, not because of President Bush or racism, they died because of their unhealthy dependence on the government and the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco.
And Star Parker adds:
What we are witnessing is a well-honed black political public-relations operation geared to obfuscation, stoking hatred and fear, and nurturing helplessness and dependence among black citizens. Such efforts keep black politicians powerful, diversity businesses prosperous and blacks poor.
Well, the Democrats don’t see it that way, as they continue to blame President Bush for things he has no control over, such as:
Senator Mary Landrieu on those stranded buses: “…[T]his administration did not believe in mass transit. They won’t even get people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out.”
Cindy Sheehan: “The people of New Orleans are collateral damage to the war in Iraq.”
Tom Matzzie of MoveOn.org: “He and his team don’t want an effective government that can protect people who work hard and pay taxes. Instead, they want to give huge tax breaks to wealthy Americans. The result is that there is no effort left, or there is no ability left for the government to respond to the needs of its citizens, especially in times of crisis.”
Harold Ford, Jr.: “I can guarantee that if the majority of the people who had been caught in this hurricane had’ve been rich, the response would have been much faster.”
And Michelle Malkin points out a glaring example of mainstream media bias on Hurricane Katrina profiteering.
Meanwhile, Pat Buchanan is prodding President Bush to stand up to them:
Nine days after 9-11, Bush gave the most powerful speech of his career and rallied a nation. Today, he sits atop a government whose agencies — FEMA and Homeland Security — are synonyms for bumbling in the worst disaster in American history. Democrats sense Bush may be assaulted with impunity. He can’t or won’t fight back.
Thus, Hillary hits four morning TV shows to denounce his handling of the Katrina disaster. Nancy Pelosi, after Bush rejects her demand in a private call that he fire FEMA head Michael Brown, reveals the content of the call and declares the president to be “oblivious, in denial, dangerous.”
Remember what Bill Clinton said: “No attack ever created a job or educated a child, or helped a family make ends meet. No insult ever cleaned up a toxic waste dump or helped an elderly person.”
