As America watched the Gulf Coast descend into third world chaos, how many of us reflected on the choices they made during the past two Presidential elections.

This is the America of those who hate government, of those who wish to ?Starve the beast,? who lower the taxes of the rich to reduce the federal government?s ability to affect our lives.

These are people whose presumption is that government is bad and who therefore are not psychologically prepared to employ government assets when they are desperately required. These are people whose first instinct when a disaster is looming is to squeeze the last bit out of their planned vacation time.

And, let?s not forget, these are the people who brought you looting in Iraq, and that poor country’s descent into man-made hell.

Heading this government is a person who has never really trained himself to solve problems; who?s had problems solved for him; who?s run businesses into the ground, and is now running our military and the homeland into the ground.

George Bush is a feckless, smirking incompetent who has given us thousands of dead and maimed American soldiers, tens of thousands of dead and maimed Iraqi (by the way turning that country into a terrorism factory), and now has created a government whose leaden response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster will ultimately be held responsible for the unnecessary deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of people in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region.

I understand this is obvious to many, but since a large number of people voted for George Bush, it?s worth saying explicitly.

If you want to see the future as envisioned by George Bush and his ilk, look to New Orleans.
