Answer ALL These Questions and We'll Look At Your Chief Justice Guy

We're betting the first part of that challenge will just kinda hold up the second for a few months.

What we're saying here is that we won't trust anything this administration and its leaders throw in front of us anymore, since we can't even trust them to protect and provide for America - their primary goddamned job.

These should be front and center of every discussion about doing the right thing, found at the Daily Dissent.

Why did the Federal Emergency Management Agency...

• not accept Amtrak's help in evacuations?
• turn away experienced firefighters?
• turn back Wal-Mart supply trucks?
• prevent the Coast Guard from delivering diesel fuel?
• ban the Red Cross from delivering food?
• bar morticians from entering New Orleans?
• block a 500-boat citizen flotilla from delivering aid?
• fail to utilize a Navy ship with 600-bed hospital on board?
• allow the city of Chicago to send just one truck?
• turn away generators?
• state "First Responders Urged Not To Respond"?

One disastrous decision after another... Why?

because they just don't care

Cuba offered about 1,000 doctors, and Venezuela offered some oil. Gee, I wonder if we took them up on it?

I'm not one much for conspiracy theories, but it seems that the explanation that makes the most sense, is that they WANTED as many people (poor, old, mostly black) as possible to die.

Why else would you stop aid from getting in, unless you wanted to let people dehydrate, get desperate, and allow the crazies to run around causing chaos?

Why else would you tell people "help is coming" and then stop the help from getting in, with soldiers?

Because they are incompetent and never make mistakes. Maybe W ought to pin a medal on Brownie.

Because once you get all those nasty poor people to leave you can drain the city and rebuild it really nice for people who can afford to pay for it.
