I Thought Katrina Was Bushitler's Fault

Now that His Eminence St. Albert has officially won the coveted Nobel Peace Prize for discovering that the Law of Cause and Effect has been reversed when it comes to global warming (see Climate Myths), the truth about Hurricane Katrina is safely protected from the evil oil companies and the apologists they fund.  Yes, the Dark Lord Bushitler continues to be the servant of a much darker conspiracy, a secret society of global oil interests and their allies in the military industrial complex, bent on warming the oceans to the boiling point so that Super Storms wreak havoc throughout the world and plunge civilization into a totalitarian nightmare...errr...or something like that.

It shouldn't be a surprise that these evil forces have succeeded in fooling the ignorant folks in Louisiana.  The fair and balanced LA Times reports that Republican Bobby Jindal has won the Louisiana governor's race.  The LAT states:

Jindal, 36, will be the nation's youngest sitting governor. The son of Indian immigrants, he will also be the first Indian American governor in U.S. history, and the first nonwhite to hold the job in Louisiana since Reconstruction.

The LAT was not fooled.  These hicks may have elected a Conservative, but they couldn't quite buy into his heritage:

Jindal has made a few stylistic concessions to suit the electorate: For instance, he goes by Bobby, though his given name is Piyush.

That should at least take care of the NASCAR crowd.  So it's the Ballad of Piyush Bobby in Cajun Country.  Too bad his name isn't Barak.  Having served in the Bushitler Reich, he has all the Conservative credentials he needs, so in spite of his dark complexion, the David Duke state still managed to vote for him.  The most stunning factoid comes in this admission by the even handed LAT:

Democrats make up about half of the 2.8 million registered voters in Louisiana, outnumbering Republicans by nearly 2 to 1. But the number of registered Democrats has dropped by nearly 57,000 since the 2005 hurricanes. Residents have criticized the state government, which is dominated by Democrats, as incompetent and corrupt.

So there you have it.  Bushitler sends a vicious monster hurricane into the Democrat heart of Louisiana and in a few days erases all of the political progress made by those loving, caring Democrats.  For years they served up a hearty helping of panem et circenses to a voting block with undying loyalty to the memory of FDR; but the evil Bushitler literally washed them all away -- into the open arms of his home state Texas, no less.  It was a stroke of Rovian diabolical genius, and although they still managed to keep their pandering Mayor, the Governor was toast.  This was just enough margin to send the perfect Uncle Tom ( or is it Uncle Sambo ) to Baton Rouge to serve those evil corporate interests, especially the ones drilling offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

There is one small problem.  How is it that the good folks of Louisiana blame their governor for incompetence, when everyone in the rest of the country knows it was Bush?  How can the victims of this climatic man-made outrage blame the innocent Kathleen Babineaux Blanco?  Didn't the Feds secretly blow holes in the levees?  Didn't Bush's failure to sign the Kyoto Protocols cause the Goddess of Tropical Cyclonic Activity to swirl and twirl and unleash the fury of Katrina on a hapless population?  Didn't Bush forbid federal aid from arriving until the outcry was impossible to ignore?  Didn't Sean Penn do more to awaken our numb consciousness than our own Commander in Chief, whose evil eyes was yet focused on oil grubbing escapades in Iraq?

One of the problems with creeping socialism is that it is run by creeps.  Those of us who just want to live our lives don't fully realize that inaction leads to further enslavement by those who think they are entitled to our property.  If New Orleans is one of the most illiterate cities in one of the most illiterate states in the United States, it doesn't take a Nobel Peace Prize to figure out the striking correlation between the condition of the city and the party affiliation of the people who have run it.  Perhaps there is a small element of truth to St. Albert's propaganda; the tragedy of Katrina was man-made, at least in part. New Orleans is a city below sea level protected by substandard levees and with a large population of families who have become either partially or totally dependent on a corrupt and cynical government run by populists and swindlers.  The Big One came as expected.  Everyone knew it would come eventually.  Nothing was done to prepare, and damn little when it was on their doorstep.  It must be Bushitler's fault.

So now the backlash has come.  By a large margin, the voters of Louisiana have elected a Conservative governor, not because of, or in spite of, his race, but because of his stated beliefs and intentions.  The Leftist template has trouble passing this data; how can ignorant rednecks vote for an Indian immigrant?  The answer to this question turns the Left on its pointed head.  Conservatives are far less racist than the Left.  The Left looks at politics though a fragmented lens of race, gender, ethnicity, class and sexual behavior.  Conservatives are searching for genuine champions for freedom: free markets, free speech, freedom from terror, freedom from the slavery of excessive taxation and intrusive government, even the freedom to fail.  This is the fault line in American politics.  Jindal is solidly against abortion, strongly supports the war in Iraq, and strongly supports the expansion of offshore drilling.  In other words, he has made no attempt to distance himself from Bushcheneyhalliburton.

Given the extent of the hydrocarbon riches of the state, there is no reason why the Louisiana economy and infrastructure should not be on par with Texas.  The main difference is years of poor government and corruption.  Louisiana is a microcosm of where the Leftists are taking us as a nation; a banana republic.  We can only pray that the new governor will be up to the task of genuine reform and reconstruction.  Good luck Bobby!
