2. Especially not the Gulf Coast
Except for Trent Lott's house, and various other Republican-heavy areas.

the hard-core Bush worshipping inbreds.

12.  George W. Bush hates black people
“WASHINGTON – Hurricane Katrina not only pulverized the Gulf Coast in 2005, it knocked the bully pulpit out from under President George W. Bush, according to two former advisers who spoke candidly about the political impact of the government’s poor handling of the natural disaster.”

“‘Katrina to me was the tipping point,’ said Matthew Dowd, Bush’s pollster and chief strategist for the 2004 presidential campaign. ‘The president broke his bond with the public. Once that bond was broken, he no longer had the capacity to talk to the American public. State of the Union addresses? It didn’t matter. Legislative initiatives? It didn’t matter. P.R.? It didn’t matter. Travel? It didn’t matter.’”

“Dan Bartlett, former White House communications director and later counselor to the president, said: ‘Politically, it was the final nail in the coffin.’”

(No author listed). (2008, December 29). Ex-aides say Bush never recovered from Katrina. http://news.yahoo.com/. Retrieved December 29, 2008, from http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081230/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_advisers_speak_out

George W. Bush hates black people (indicated at http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/12/andrew-yu-jen-wang-responds-to-stokely.html).

Bush is a fool: he mishandled the Katrina situation.

It is one thing for Bush to hate black people in his heart and mind; however, Bush should have had the decency and civility not to express his hatred of black people in the way he handled the Katrina situation.

As suggested by Dan Bartlett, the bad consequences relating to Bush’s racial discrimination against black people are indeed severe.

The American public simply can’t trust Bush—as suggested by Matthew Dowd.

My sister—Messiah College’s first Rhodes Scholar—told me a while ago that Bush’s racial discrimination against black people demolished his reputation.

Bush is a disgrace. Bush knew or should have known just how destructive and notorious his racial discrimination against black people would have become. Yet, Bush just couldn’t help it: he hates black people so much and uncontrollably pursued his nature.

I include herein information from another post to consider the religious aspect of Bush’s racial discrimination.

I asked a fellow alumnus of Messiah College, Grantham, PA a question about George W. Bush’s raging racism. The correspondence is indicated below.

‘Fellow Alumnus:’

Please assume that George W. Bush did in fact commit numerous hate crimes against black people (indicated http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-did-you-think-of-that-naacp-anti.html>). Suppose, hypothetically, George W. Bush—the raging racist—said: “I, George W. Bush, committed hate crimes against black people—I just couldn’t help it. I, George W. Bush, can get away with the hate crimes I committed against black people, I hate black people so much, and I am not going to change myself for the black people whom I criminally victimized.”

Suppose George W. Bush never changes. Then, according to the Christian religion, is Bush inevitably on his way to burning in the lake of fire forever?

I hope you are doing well. Take it easy.

Andrew


Andrew:

According to the Christian religion, you and I, and every other person, is sufficiently sinful to be eternally separated from God. As I’ve told you before, I think the descriptions of hell in the Bible are probably not literal. The real experience of being separated from God, for a person created to live in relationship with God, is worse than we can imagine - worse that being burned alive. And the only way out, for you, me or anyone else, is to humbly accept God’s gift of salvation.

‘Fellow Alumnus’

Retrieved December 29, 2008, from http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-asked-fellow-alumnus-of-messiah.html

After all, Bush is not really a Christian (indicated at http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/12/george-w-bush-is-not-christian.html). A real Christian would not have racially discriminated against and disadvantaged black people so unyieldingly—the way Bush did.

Bush must be punished for his racial discrimination against black people.

13. thank Kathleen Blanco
Who withstood Bush's hostage ransom situation. Bush refused to authorize the National Guard deployment for over a week. normally an automatic thing well in advance of the coming storm, withheld available Military aid, and most probably sabotaged FEMA's efforts as well, until she signed a state of emergency declaration giving Bush full control of the response AND the rebuilding afterwords. She won the standoff, exposed Bush for the traitor he is, but was the cost worth it?
