How sad is it that human natural always looks for something or someone to blame? We work so hard to prop ourselves up as gods, and when the true God comes to tear down our paper dreams, we need to rant to anyone who will listen how it’s not our fault, and therefore, it must be someone else’s.

This month, George Bush is being blamed for destroying New Orleans with a hurricane. Of course, the truth is that the liberals are upset that President Bush does not see the Federal Government as the benevolent deity that they see it as. So, when Bush failed to order the legion of angels at his call to thwart the deadly storm, they get upset. Because Bush didn’t fly down with Air Force One and fly out the indigent population of New Orleans, he is the one to blame.

Ben Stein has said it better than I can, when he writes (among other good points):

George Bush had nothing to do with the hurricane contingency plans for New Orleans. Those are drawn up by New Orleans and Louisiana. In any event, the plans were perfectly good: mandatory evacuation. It is in no way at all George Bush’s fault that about 20 percent of New Orleans neglected to follow the plan. It is not his fault that many persons in New Orleans were too confused to realize how dangerous the hurricane would be. They were certainly warned. It’s not George Bush’s fault that there were sick people and old people and people without cars in New Orleans. His job description does not include making sure every adult in America has a car, is in good health, has good sense, and is mobile.
