Others have claimed that the National Guard was sent to shoot black people. There was talk of shooting looters (which is not unheard of in times like these) but doesn't the accusation here assume that looters must be black? Isn't that racist?
I also want to know how you blame President Bush for not building better levies? Shouldn't the Democrats who have governed that city and state have done something in the last 50 years to fix this? Couldn't they have done more?
Ben Stein wrote the following in The American Spectator:
Why is it that the snipers who shot at emergency rescuers trying to save people in hospitals and shelters are never mentioned except in passing, and Mr. Bush, who is turning over heaven and earth to rescue the victims of the storm, is endlessly vilified?Read the whole article here.
What church does Rev. Al Sharpton belong to that believes in passing blame and singling out people by race for opprobrium and hate?
What special abilities does the media have for deciding how much blame goes to the federal government as opposed to the city government of New Orleans for the aftereffects of Katrina?
If able-bodied people refuse to obey a mandatory evacuation order for a city, have they not assumed the risk that ill effects will happen to them?
When the city government simply ignores its own sick and hospitalized and elderly people in its evacuation order, is Mr. Bush to blame for that?

I heard that same caller on the radio today while I was driving down the road, and couldn't hardly believe what I was hearing either! Here's an interesting question-- Who has had control of the state and local governments in Louisiana for the last 30 years? Democrats! If people believe it's the federal government's sole responsibility to save them, then there is something seriously wrong with their perspective of what the federal government's role is.
