I have to say that I agree completely with his sentiments (they seem to reflect pretty much what I had already said.)
I have my doubts that people will remember and decry Bush's failure in this disaster. Bush's chief tactic is to further marginalize the people who are suffering, dying, looting, and near-rioting in NOLA and to subtlely convey to lower- and middle-class white men that the poor (usually blacks) who die do so because that is what they deserve.
Bush manipulated African-Americans to vote for him by using the whole gay-marriage ruse to stir up Evangelical bigotry. That just goes to show that the oppressed have NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER turning around and committing the same bigotted offenses against another marginalized group if they can be fed any sort of justification at all. This all brings to mind the Stockholm Syndrome and the Authoratarian/Shock experiments of the 1960s.
I feel sick for humanity. I thought that one of Jesus' chief missions was to bring an end to suffering and to care for the poor. Considering that our President considers himself to be a capital-C Christian, where are the demonstrations of following the teachings of Jesus?
I'm waiting for the Faith-Based Initiatives
