I am thoroughly disgusted...

We all know that Nancy Lieder is truly evil.
But, if you weren't convinced when she spewed the Columbia vomit, or unashamedly using the war casualties for her own means, she has now, predictably, jumped all over the Katrina tragedy.
There was once a time I felt a little sorry for her because she is clearly suffering mental disorders. I feel nothing but contempt and disgust for her now, diseased mind or not.
In fact, I'm appalled at the way many on GLP talk about the disaster. They're like dogs foaming at the mouth, and the speed and voracity with which they attack the federal government makes my stomach turn. Hindsight is 20/20, and nobody ever considered a levy break, the collapse of I-10, the ignorance of stupid people with guns, total collapse of the local infrastructure, etc.
Putting the National Gaurd in before the storm would just them in the same situation that the refugees are. Having them on stand by to go in as soon as possible now seems prudent, but like I said, hindsight is 20/20. Let me be clear, I have absolutely no idea what these people have been through, and I know if I were there I would be itching to get the hell out of there. But I cannot imagine taking a gun and shooting at the rescue helicopters trying to evacuate hospital patients.
It is a natural disaster. You're just wasting time and acting irrationally by pointing fingers and saying that somebody else should have done this or that. Let Bush worry about whether or not he could have done more. I'm willing to bet that he wishes the government would have done more, as well. He's on our side, for crying out loud. This government works for us, especially in situations like this. Wanna bitch and moan about the public services they are providing, fine. But you'd better have a pretty damn good idea as to how much time it takes to coordinate the troops, vehicles, supplies, and other logostical problems I have no clue about. You better have a better way to get the supplies in to New Orleans. You'd better have an idea what it takes to airlift supplies to what is virtually tiny specks of islands in a lake. You'd better have a viable solution to the jackasses shooting at rescuers and you'd better not bitch when the troops we send in die. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
As far as I'm concerned, we (the US government, coperations, and non-profit organizations) are doing a pretty damn good job. They need our help, our reasonable suggestions, and moral support. They sure as hell don't need the shit that flows from the mouths of people like Nancy Lieder.
I apologize for the offensive language, folks, but I needed to vent. Thanks, Lance, for the place and opportunity to do this. If nothing else, it should help my blood pressure a little.
