Lamentations of the Left

Why is the Left so exorcised over Hurricane Katrina? The constant hand-wringing and incessant carping from left-wingers about the real and imagined failures of hurricane relief has reached a new level of hysteria that I have never seen before. From Senator Landrieu to Celine Dion, the pantheon of liberals who are wailing over the "loss" of New Orleans (nevermind Mississippi) and throwing ash upon themselves in some vain attempt at sincerity has truly reached new heights that even Zeus could be proud of. The Left went so far as to send two hypocritical Christians, Reverands Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, as part of their "relief" efforts in New Orleans who naturally bitched and moaned that the President was going too slow on the Federal side of things. Yawn.

My friends, what are your expections of government? Have you been to the Department of Motor Vehicles lately? Does the IRS come to mind? Have you walked into a Welfare Office with its thick plate glass and armed guard(s) so they can spend several hours of your time just to tell you that the government considers you too "rich" and thus not qualified for their measley handout anyway? And the Left has the gall to tell us we "need" healthcare as run by the Federal government! The Federal budget is already 2.3 TRILLION dollars and that's only for this year, I wonder what next year brings?

Hurricane Katrina has denuded the Left's justification for big government and has shown to the entire world how pathetic government is to responding to the people's true needs. The only good thing that came out of New Orleans was the military response to the disaster which only the Federal government truly can perform well as dictated by the Constitution. The Left's worship of government-control from cradle to coffin is a false god. With liberals throwing themselves to the ground and nearly speaking-in-tongues over Katrina then indeed they have out-done themselves this time around. But then again, there is always the Supreme Court to wail over. :)
