That was my point concerning those who want to absolve the massive failures of the New Orleans and Louisiana government, just because they were democratic. Since I consider you to be an honest man, I must have missed your criticism of the local and state governments. The only post I saw from you concerning this matter was criticism Bush and his administration. I'm not a Democrat, and I wouldn't have known whether the city or state governments were primarily D or R. I believe that when all local infrastructure is wiped out by an event the magnitude of Katrina, help must be sent in from outside the area where there are still personnel, systems, and supplies in place to deal wtih the mess. The local govt. can't send in help from outside its territory, and can't coordinate efforts between cities, counties, or states with any authority. That is the role of the federal government in a time of multi-jurisdictional disaster. Should the feds just go charging in? The 82d Airborne was ready to go. Other National Guard units were ready to go. Should the fedgov 'take charge' immediately (especially when the local government is disfunctional)? Haven't we had this same discussion before? You keep making the point that the feds should do this and that, but never address the 'when' . Chuckie may not be a "democrat": but he certainly is a far left leaning liebral I have to correct you. Chuckie is a progressive, whatever that means. |
