This Disaster Is Anything But Natural by Dr. T

Hurricanes have been around long before man and they will continue to be around long after our final footprints have disappeared from the earth. Clearly hurricane Katrina will go down in the annals as one of the most horrific of our time. But what makes this one unique is the storm that has brewed in the aftermath. The clash between the political parties has intensified enormously over the past decade. In years past a disaster such as this would have united folks on both sides of the aisle. The recovery stage would have had everyone putting aside their differences and rolling up their sleeves. Not so this time. I have never heard such vitriol and vindictiveness in my life. The Democrats can hardly contain themselves, they seem almost giddy over the fact that something this horrific has happened on this President's watch. Of course their willing accomplices in the media are only too happy to report every negative comment and accusation, no matter how incredulous. This evening I watched an interview Alan Colmes had with Howard Dean. Dean, true to form, blamed Bush and the administration for the loss of life in New Orleans. While not blatantly calling the President a racist, he implied it by claiming that the slow response showed a disregard for the under-priviledged. The statements were outrageous and in saner times would have been denounced. This from the head of the DNC. It is simply beyond the pale but unfortunately it is the politics of our time. The Dems are not unlike the levies in New Orleans; barely hanging on, trying to stay above water. I believe the American people are seeing through them and as I continue to watch and to hear their rants, I envision them washed away by their own evil debris.
