Last Bush-bash of the evening

Passed along a long chain, picked up by me at: http://www.livejournal.com/community/ubsa/219955.html



Make no mistake: as we watch our fellow citizens drown, starve, and die in the street in New Orleans, its not incompetence or lack of planning that is killing them. It is willful neglect. It is the direct result of reducing the government "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." This is what "starving the beast" looks like.

For some 30 years the Republican party has packaged humanity's darkest and most craven weaknesses and pawned them off as its greatest virtues. Well, the reckoning is here and the conservatives are found wanting. When the chips are down we are a nation that cares for our citizens and we expect our government to be strong enough, capable enough, and compassionate enough to do the same.

not to even mention how the national guard can't do much of anything 'cause they're all already over dying in iraq.

gee, think it's a coincidence that the lower ranks of the military is also disproportionately poor and african-american/latino?
