Lunacy on the Left

Former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal has lashed out at President Bush in an online screed based in Germany. This should come as no surprise to anyone, as the European left has as much disdain for President Bush as the American left does -- possibly more. In fact, the German environmental minister lashed out publically against the President and the people of the United States earlier this week, saying the failure of the US to sign the Kyoto Protocol is the primary reason Katrina caused such devastation to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. They really love US over in Germany. Let something of this magnitude hit THEM, and see how fast they'll be calling on the United States to help -- and no doubt criticizing us for not helping faster.

Now the American left is getting excercised over how much "Chimpy McBushitler"'s War on Terror has caused us to: 1) have too few National Guard members available in Louisiana to help, 2) diverted funding from fortifying New Orleans' levees to Homeland Security, 3) prevented us from paying attention to immediate domestic needs, 4) was out of touch with victims' needs, and on and on.

Yet, not one of our so-called intellectual elites who so easily cast blame has offered one scintilla of a positive idea on how to make things better NOW and in the future for the thousands millions affected by Katrina. Much easier to point fingers than reach out a helping hand, I guess.
