More than a year has passed and, yet again, the right is returning to a familiar punching bag. As cited by First Draft, we read Townhall columnist Mike S. Adams saying, in an article about the Ben Harper song "Black Rain" (which touches on Katrina), "I suspected that the failure of so many people to take heed of the oft-repeated hurricane warnings had something to do with the proliferation of mind altering drugs in the Big Easy."

I suggest reading the rest of the article. Sure, it's an angering read, but it's worth the effort to gain an insight into the mind of people like Adams and his "compassionate conservative" peers. These are classless people. These are vile people. These are heartless people. Sugarcoat it all they want under a  decaying veneer of faith-based platitudes, but these are not compassionate people. Nor, coincidentally, are they conservative. But the sooner we realize the true depths of their character, the better.
