Typical liberal bs magical thinking: "we're America, we can do ANYTHING. So why doesn't Bush air drop food, water, and school buses from the Mothership and zap all the water dry already?"
Usually they add, "after all, we went to the moon" as if a day after Kennedy said we'd try "by the end of the decade" Neil was already taking his first step off the lander.
Liberals (and others) seem to think logistics (like oil production and refining) is a magical, instant proposition - not requiring YEARS of lead time to build the pieces, drop the pipes and haul the crude to refineries (which need to be approved by the dipshit enviromental wackos THEN built).
So they're shocked when the growing population of CA + no new power plants in 30 years = rolling black outs. For them, electricity literally comes from turning on the switch. So obviously if the electricity isn't there it's because the gods are angry with BUsh. Dipshits.
They're shocked that it takes time to bring in enough food and water for 100,000 people when the roads are down, there's few places to land helicopters and there are no ships in the port BECAUSE A CAT.5 HURRICANE JUST CAME THROUGH.
Bush couldn't have just pre-positioned the 6th fleet in the Gulf with that monster spinning out there. Every ship captain knows you avoid 'canes, not try to steam through them. But of course, since Bush is magical, if ships full of relief supplies aren't materializing in the port, it MUST MEAN HE'S CRUEL.
No, for them it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, why doesn't BUSH wave the magic wand and create ex nihilo 1 million barrels of crude per day and 1 million barrels of premium unleaded to boot?! Why doesn't he magically airdrop 2000 tons of food and water (while not hitting any of the victims on the ground)?
This is America! So why doesn't the President or the GOP or someone other than the clueless locals magically restore law and drain a swamped city?
The entitlement mentality of half the Left is only slightly removed from the insanity of the magical mentality of the other half.
Typically they overlook WHO WAS IN CHARGE IN NO BEFORE THE CRISIS: NOT REPUBLICANS AND NOT THE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who ran the NO PD all these years? Who was in TOTAL control of the budget for civil defense, disaster mitigation, etc? NOT THE GOP AND NOT THE REPUBLICANS AND NOT THE PRESIDENT.
But who get's blamed for failure on the ground from the locals? Bush of course.
And while I'm ranting, who is against the Boy Scouts again? the Libs! Had the BSA NOT BEEN GUTTED BY THE LEFT IN THE INNER CITY YOU'D HAVE THOUSANDS OF MEN AND BOYS DOWN THERE "PREPARED" INSTEAD OF GANGS OF HOODS.
Again, the magical thinking: it takes YEARS to train and form honest, resourceful, law abiding citizenry who take precautions, and don't play politics with the ESSENTIALS for their survival (like the Leeves and pumping stations). Democratic dipshits seem to ASSUME that society is so robust and essential elements magically appear that they're always caught off guard by events.
Again: there seems to be an awful lot of able bodied men among the victims who didn't leave. Why didn't they prepare by filling up water jugs and bug out bags BEFORE THE STORM??? because they didn't know any better, because the DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED LOCAL GOV. DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
It wasn't a Tsunami - the flood took hours to rise. Had each family simply filled 20 gal of water from the tap on Sunday and loaded up their pantry goods into garbage bags, they'd only now be running out.
But who get's blamed for the LOCALS' inability to cope? The President and the rest of us. But then the locals knew where high ground is all their lives, knew they were under sea level their entire lives, and they were warned to leave....
Didn't the Media and internet run public announcements every year telling people how to prepare for Hurricanes? What poor family in NO DIDN'T HAVE POTABLE WATER AND FOOD? Who didn't have garbage bags, ziplock bags, clothes, umbrellas, etc?
If I was dirt poor in NO, and sat home through a Cat.5 hurricane I'd have my stuff packed up and bagged up and ready to haul away with me... and as SOON as I saw rising water, I'd be on my way with my family to higher ground - like a bridge or building with a 3rd floor.
But they were sheep without a shepherd - now demanding that the shepherds they rejected long ago and never listened to, take instant, magical control of their situation and take the blame for their dire straits.
We can not let these entitlement and magical minded people take over our country.
