Even Jesusy wingnuts know Bush fucked up handling Katrina

society_1126_0.jpg
Tony Perkins

This is from Tony Perkins' Family Resource Council's newsletter. You may remember FRC as being the rapture-ready nutjobs who organized Justice Sunday:

While the hurricane was an "act of God" the government response and relief effort on the local, state and national levels were failures of man.

In one instance Red Cross trucks full of necessities were barred by a state agency early last week from entering New Orleans to deliver the much needed supplies. Accountability at all levels of government is critical. It should not be a time for partisan showmanship as so many similar hearings have been reduced to.

On another note, former Bush puppet Colin Powell criticizes the feds response to Katrina.

President Nero Goes Fishing!

Fockers. Impeach them all.

What a surprise. Blaming Bush for the whole thing, huh? How about the mayor of New Orleans or countless officials who FOR YEARS knew this was a possibility but did not want to spend the money.
I notice you make no mention of the animals who were looting, raping, killing, doing drive-byes, shooting at rescuers. No mention of racial attacks on white people? How come?
New Orleans DID NOT have to degenerate into this. But you will avoid that since we all know it was mostly blacks doing all of the sick shit. Better to avoid it and discuss so-called "Christian Wingnuts" and other respectable people who actually have faith in their lives.
The looters should have been shot dead on the second day at the latest but as usual... scared whites do nothing and political correctness rules the day.

I can hardly wait for "Revenge of the Nutters IV: We're Bored With the Ragheads, Where Are the Niggers At?"

jeff b, you don't know what you're talking about. I lived in new orleans for years. the local government has been begging for the funds to fix the levees for as long as i can remember. "they didn't want to spend the money" is absolutely wrong. so called looters were largely just trying to survive. i'd like to see what you would have done in that horrible situation.

I wish Jeff B. would take his hood off so I could hear what he was mumbling.

Jeff B., how about you get your little Bush-lovin' ass down there and find out with your own two eyes what exactly is going on? Turn off Fox NEWS or whatever conservative shit you listen to and see for yourself, cunt.

wingnut ultrachristian "people with faith in their lives" is a pretty kind terminology for people that are ignorant enough to: hate entire races of people for really stupid generalize reasons, beleive that science and fossile records are wrong and the earth is 6000 years old and not BILLIONS of years old, and finally they are too scared of the world to question their president who is, basically, making jackasses out of the whole christian community by being incompetant and ignorant himself and they love him for it.

I am not a fan of Bush but to put all of the blame on his administration for what is happening in New Orleans is silly. It was the mayor's responsibility to make sure that there was transportation for evacuees without automobiles. It was also his responsibility to make sure their was food and water in the Superdome before they instructed evacuees to take shelter there. I think it is very important that we determine what could have done better. It is inexcusable to exploit a tragedy such as this to further a political agenda.

Leave it to this culture to turn against one another in a time of crisis. Just what the powers that be want. While you all fight one another over ideology or whether or not one's a chirstian, a black, a democrat or republican or whatever (..."keep watching Fox News or whatever conservative shit..") the powers that be run off with everything. Divide and conquer. Always seems to work.

I just love those who see existence in black and white terms. "Convervative BAD. Liberal GOOD. Christians BAD. Everything else GOOD." or vice versa. Seems that the powers that be have gotten to some minds in a way that they never would have imagined.

This is the PERFECT time to start pointing fingers and blaming EACH OTHER rather where the blame belongs: an uncaring bunch of self-important bureaucrats who care nothing about the common folk, only their own narrow minded agendas. Seems they have a team ready and waiting to join them.

Shit...

These idiots who call themselves conservative are all disgusting hypocrites who just can't seem to find anything filthier then their own reflection. Yes bush and his cabinet are responsible for the lack of human response but you can't see past the hurricane. America's response to the hurricane would have been for greater if bush and his cronies had not plundered the federal reserve to benefit his rich constituents. America's response would have been greater if bush did not have most of our national guard fighting bush's illegal war in Iraq and wasting our money over there. America's response would have probably been sufficient if it were not for the current sociopathic, self serving, greedy corrupt form of president and cabinet (and supporters) that currently exists within the USA. But thats OK...You just keep saying God Bless America while you're in church supporting the murder of innocent people and the plunder of your children and grandchildren's financial future and national security. Personal denial is a very effective mechanism for those who are not grown up enough to admit that they were wrong.

hello bush is fucked up and green day rulez!!!!!!!!!!

Boy Oh Boy George Bush Really Fucked Up The USA I Cannot Believe Everybody Let Him Do It!!! What The Fuck Has Happened To This Country?

It is ok to have faith, but not blind faith. I believe that bush took advantage of the Evangelical Christian vote. George W. is the epitome of a hypocrite

It is ok to have faith, but not blind faith. I believe that bush took advantage of the Evangelical Christian vote. George W. is the epitome of a hypocrite. I believe that the public followed him blindly... When Cheney as a running mate should have been " a red flag."
