Everything that Changed Became Clear after August 29, 2005.

As my two readers know I believe that the day everything changed was December 12, 2000 when the SCOTUS announced the end of the rule of law. This was when the Supreme Court selected for POTUS a person who does not believe in Government and thus does not believe in the efficacy of governing.

Then of course, there was September 11, 2001 when the President, announced along with most politicians, that the world had changed. And yes, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the United States were a wake up call. But I think that the consequences of the December 12, 2000 decision was most exemplified by August 29, 2005 and this administration’s response both prior and in real time to Katrina, and the destruction of the City of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

As John Biguenet, a resident of New Orleans, writing in the New York Times, makes clear this was not a natural disaster in New Orleans, but a man made disaster, and a policy disaster by this administration. This administration decided to take the monies allocated for the Levee’s repair and infrastructure upgrade by the Clinton Administration and to reallocate those monies to terrorism. And as we all know now the damage done to NOLA, unlike the rest of the Gulf Coast, was due to the failure of the levees not necessarily Katrina.

So, yes folks the day the world changed was December 12, 2000 and the day it became clear for all the world to see was August 29, 2005. Because on that fateful day in December an administration was put in place that not only didn’t believe that government could be effective, they believe that government shouldn’t exist and in fact should be drowned in the bathtub. And so New Orleans and the Gulf Coast continue to drown.

It has been one year since our President stood in Jackson Square and pronounced the largest reconstruction effort in America. To date the reconstruction has been very slow. The majority of those displaced can not come back. Why would anyone come back to a city that has unreliable electricity and little or no potable water. There appears to be little or no planning for the revitalization of the cities infrastructure which is necessary before you can decide to come home and rebuild.

Yes folks, this administration has managed to accomplish that which no other administration has done, it is complicit in the destruction of a major City in the United States of America.

What an accomplishment!

Does this seem like something to commemorate?

Watch this video and then think about whether New Orleans and this administration will ever recover.

Yes indeed, everything has changed!

Do you truly believe that the administration that allowed this to happen and continues to look the other way is capable of providing any kind of security to this country?

Just asking and I didn't even brining up Iraq!
