Dear Bush-supporter:
Look hard at what is happening in New Orleans. Look very hard, because it is the direct result of your vote.
You, and every other person that voted for George W. Bush (TWICE), are directly to blame for the response to this disaster. The reasons are glaring and numerous.
You supported tax cuts in time of need.
You supported a war of choice.
You supported spending cuts at the expense of your own country's infrastructure.
You supported pork by the barrel-full with a president who doesn't know "veto" is a word.
And, probably most damning of all, you supported the rampant cronyism for which this president is widely known.
You voted for this disaster response despite numerous warnings from numerous people, not all of whom had a D after their name.
You are directly responsible for the utter incompetence that has proven to be our federal government. You are directly responsible for a an incompetent lawyer, fired from his previous job and with no credentials whatsoever, being appointed head of FEMA...the agency responsible for caring for the most vulnerable Americans.
You are directly responsible for people with evidence-based differing opinions being shut out of the governmental discourse so vital to the health and well-being of a nation as great as ours.
You are directly responsible for the creation of a cumbersome, non-functioning, money-sucking, non-accountable behemoth beauracracy called the Department of Homeland Security that keeps its finances secret in order to "protect" you.
You turned a blind eye to the signs that things weren't working. You took the pat on the head and the shallow "You're safe now" and walked away, never asking "Prove it."
You placed your life and the life of this nation in the hands of people with little experience outside of getting re-elected or re-appointed, who's goals are not the well-being of all Americans. Their actions had proven it the first time; you elected them again.
You took your measly tax cut, kissed the ring, and walked away from your duty as a citizen to monitor the actions of your government.
People of all stripes are placing blame for the horrific scene in New Orleans and everyone is asking how this could happen, here, in the United States of America.
It's time for you to stand up. Take your head out of your ass, put your humanitarian platitudes aside, grab your "conservative" mantra of personal responsibility and culture of life, and let the buck stop with you.
You voted for it, now you have it. Rest easy.
