Are Bush and the GOP Responsible for Katrina and its Tragic Aftermath? Email Print

Stop and think for one moment and examine the position of the Republican majority of the Senate and House regarding the Greenhouse Effect.

For years scientists have warned about the Greenhouse Effect because of the pollution that the U.S. businesses are spitting into our atmosphere that are warming up the oceans.  When the ocean's temperature becomes hotter, hurricanes are destined to follow.

Would brain trust Bush attend the Kyoto Conference on the environment?  He was a no show at Kyoto but has been making a prominent impact on the U.S. pollution scene as this nation contributes 50 percent or more of pollution worldwide.  During his tenure as Texas governor, Houston's air became the nation's worst under the relaxed standards he helped bring into effect for industry, resulting in substantial increases in asthma among the young and elderly in that city.  Brother Governor Jeb sold out to big oil in Florida, a typical event for a Bush, by opting to remove emission standards for automobiles.

George Bush wanted no part of any kind of climate control talk.  His oil buddies might give him a tough time the next time he saw them on a country club golf course.  Didn't that ex (we hope) druggie Rush Limbaugh complain to his faithful dittoheads about the unsavory business of big government seeking to control pollution?  Big business, and especially big oil, saved billions by not having to do the proper thing for society and clean up the environment they had polluted.  Bush was assured of a steady flow of fat cat contributions due to his generosity.  With George Bush the underdogs might be forgotten but upper dogs are always revered.

Now, in the name of God, Buddha, or whatever deity you believe in, don't call Hurricane Katrina an act of God.  Considering what we have done to spoil the environment this is blasphemy.

Now Bush flies high above New Orleans' hurricane disaster, looking down on the end result of his and his Administration's failure to attend the Kyoto Conference and help implement a people-oriented environmental policy.  To hear Bush spout words of "Patience" is ironic, not to mention sick and disgusting.    

As if being directly involved with our national hurricane disasters, which have also savaged Florida, is not enough, Bush has talked about "terrorism" until he is blue in the face.  He resembles Wrong Way Corrigan, the pilot who received his nickname for flying the wrong way.  

Bush went the wrong way to hit al Qaeda.  Instead of going to Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, al Qaeda strongholds, Bush went like a dog sniffing red meat, but his sniffer sniffed oil.  Did Bush have the wisdom to untangle 5,000 years of religious conflict like magic?  With arrogance born of ignorance Bush plunged into Iraq, just like Wrong Way Corrigan's flight years ago.  

Yes, there is a comparison between the Iraq War and World War Two.  Hitler made a big mistake thinking he could conquer the world.  Bush and his cronies view Iraq as part of a global strategy of control and domination under the guise of bringing peace and democracy to the Middle East.  He invades Iraq on the deceitful assumption that he will destroy terrorists when there was no link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.  

Bush's foreign policy aggression and resultant major mistakes are despised throughout the world.  Launching a war against a non-threatening nation makes the perpetrator a war criminal under international law.  

In the Miami Herald's September 1 issue Pat Buchanan states in his column, "While all but six GOP House members voted to authorize President Bush to take us to war in Iraq, 75 percent of Republicans believe in the war."  The time has come to oust every Republican who justifies killing people against all civilized rules of conducting war.  Identify all Republicans who still maintain that the war in Iraq is a good thing.  Send them and their families to Iraq to live within the Civil-Religious War they have been responsible for launching and maintaining.  

Impeach George Bush fast!  Killing is worse than consensual sex.  You Republicans will never, ever live down your hateful multi-million dollar campaign to oust President Clinton.  Now it is your turn to pay the price for the death, carnage and chaos you generated with your irresponsible, misguided, and ill-conceived actions.

You asked for the Iraq War and you got it.  Now do you have the decency and sense of responsibility to pay the awful price that your vote demands?

I think the best suggestion I've ever heard about pollution standards is to require everyone who's ever fought them to live in the very areas that are unregulated. No gated communities, no suburbs far far away ... they have to live immediately downwind and downstream of all the industries they've authorized to pollute.
