The hatred of the Left is mindboggling...

I’m not going to post the piece I started to write.
My original reaction to the Katrina catastrophe was going to be: “NOT ONE DIME.”
For an hour or so, I contemplated the idea of turning it into a crusade: No-one in the blue states (where the money is) should give one dime of aid to the victims of this hurricane, which devastated Bush-friendly regions.
Why did I flirt with such a callous attitude?
Because it should be obvious to all that this tragedy was not just an act of God. Dubya and his diety conspired to transform mere disaster into an unprecedented mega-catastrophe. ...
So why was I thinking of starting a movement against giving aid to the stricken areas?
Because these are red states. They voted for Bush. These ninnies obviously wanted these policies, and they deserve to live with the consequences of their votes.
A large part of me still believes that many of these W-worshipping numbskulls deserve to suffer and to die. They brought it on themselves. Let them look to Jayzuss for aid: It’s time they stopped leeching off the more productive blue staters.
(Californians stupidly give much more to the federal government than we receive from it; the money flows in a very different direction in the red states.)
So, at least, I started to write. But then (to paraphrase the old song) I thought I’d better think it out again.
Many of the victims, the ones who have suffered the most, are poor. The hardest hit were the blue state folk living among the red state maniacs. New Orleans, we should note, went heavily for Kerry.
And that’s why we must help. Although it was very tempting to say otherwise.
But let us make one thing clear: We WILL politicize this issue.
These people are another species as far as I'm concerned. Something less than human.
Re: #73 - Unbelievable!
I understand your feelings, but, you can't think that way -- Americans have to help Americans. In a tragic situation like Louisiana and Mississippi, politics must be put aside. The general welfare as a whole must come ahead of all other priorities. America is red, white and blue first, with being a democrat or republican way down on the list. Rest assured, like 9-11, that what is being done now, will eventually be criticized, and politicized by the left, and MSM! Be prepared to hear a lot of should have, would have, could have!
Holy crap. Just holy crap.
They "politicize" EVERYTHING!
