    Bush didn't cause this hurricane that's just dumb. Anyone that says he did doesn't deserve the attention of another media or Baptist Board misdirection campaign as far as I'm concerned.

    There I defended Bush. [​IMG]

    Daisy, I think that Florida is set up better because they get hurricanes every year and because they were re-organized after George H.W. Bush was called slow to respond after Andrew, wasn't it? I think that the government was not prepared for the New Orleans criminal gangs that were firing weapons at the rescuers but I am waiting for the full story to be told.

    C4K, I am amazed at these charges that Bush actually caused this hurricane by his environmental actions. But wouldn't you agree that thousands of people will believe that global warming caused this storm?

    If you add in the cost of government regulations the date is pushed all the way into July.

    That's even more rare than me defending Bush ;) .

    However, my defense is ONLY on the cause of the disaster.

    Response is an entirely different matter.

    The government is to blame for not having an adequate levee system in place that could have prevented the flooding.

    The government is to blame for not having a disaster plan springing into action the moment that what they knew was a woefully inadequate levee system broke.
    </font>[/QUOTE]I agree if you're talking about Louisiana and New Orleans Governments. They were the ones who should have lobbied for it until they got it.
    </font>[/QUOTE]Lobbied?

    I think they should have collected the money from the citizens of Lousiana and made sure it got done.
    </font>[/QUOTE]I thought people were complaining about the lack of Federal Dollars!

    You're right of course - before they start blaming others they should have looked after their own back yard.

    Same here. </font>[/QUOTE]Me, too. But instead of categorizing, some people are content to blame others for "blaming Bush" even though no one on the BB has "blamed Bush" for causing the hurricane.

    No, not yet. Blaming Bush for the hurricane has been the handiwork of Cindy Sheehan, Robert Kennedy, and the German minister of the environment.

    You must keep telling yourself: There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; There are no Bush Haters on this Forum. Isn't that right moderators and, dare I say it, no I better not. Instead I will repeat: There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; :D There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; :D There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; :D There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; :D There are no Bush Haters on this Forum; :D There are no Bush Haters on this Forum. :D

    Amazing, simply amazing.

    Would I make my point better if I kept repeating - "It is possible to disgree with a politician's policies and actions without hating him"?

    I guess if you cannot prove a contention just keep saying it enough times and someone will eventually believe.

    Bush is personally to blame for some problems, but not all. Anytime you take a leadership position, however, you will be personally to blame for something going wrong because everyone messes up. To be fair, though, he is also personally to be credited for some very good things happening.

    As for the disaster, the government agencies in NO and LA are to blame for a lack of preperation for the inevitable. The federal government is to blame for the lack of response to help the vicitms. Just because I support Bush does not mean I am going to let him off the hook for this. We are Johnny on the spot helping everyone else in the world, but there are still people stuck on bridges in NO? That is unacceptable.

    Joseph, I am wondering if the SBC has a disaster relief agency? It seems to me that the SBC needs to have provisions and equipment in order to respond to national and international emergencies. Do you know what they have, Joseph?

    The problem is your logic is flawed. The Levees are not under either Local or State control BUT are under Federal control. Your money and my money are collected every April to make sure it was done. The fact is the Federal government did not do their job. Louisiana and New Orleans should have lobbied harder to get the Levee shored up.

    There is plenty of blame to go around. Everyone makes mistakes and I think both the State and Federal government is seeking to remedy the situation now. Just because you disagree with someone does not mean you hate them or believe they are evil. I think we can all learn from the mistakes here in the event of a terrorist attack or other National disastor and not repeat many of the same mistakes.

    That is the most asinine statement that has been posted on this Forum.

    1. Bush signing the Kyoto Protocall would have accomplished nothing since the Senate had already rejected it.
    2. If global warming is a fact it started no later than the industrial revolution!
    3. Do you really think this country is the only one in the world generating so-called green house gases. Think man, if global warming started 25 years ago under Reagan how could Bush have reversed it in 5 years?

    CMG, I know that the SBC has been very active in feeding refugees in Baton Rouge and have set up many shelters. We have 4 Shelters in my area and may have to house them for up to 2 months.
