George W. Bush hates white people…

I realize that I should probably apologize for that atrocious title, but I find that I simply can’t do it.  I find myself making comparisons to Iowa’s recent disaster and New Orlean’s Hurricane Katrina disaster every time I pick up a paper.   Where’s Kanye now?  Hell, for that matter, where’s the Jolie-Pitt clan, and the Sean Penn’s of the world?  Do they only show up for Chavez and welfare abusers?  It’s almost enough to make you question their…intentions.   But, surely they wouldn’t only show up when the cameras roll out…right?

I keep waiting for all the bleeding liberals to demand that THEY get to fix the problem, with OUR tax money, of course.  And where’s Iowa’s mayors?  Wasn’t that New Orleans one standing in the street screaming like a welfare mom for someone to come help him great entertainment?  And certainly excellent for Reverends Jackson and Sharpton.  Surely there’s something like that to keep us angry, disillusioned and glued to the news.  Or…maybe not.  That’s why you won’t hear much more about it in the future.

So, I feel like it’s important that I write something here that will make people think about something other than the politically correct driven crap you’ll hear from the TV.  You want to know why you haven’t heard about just how awful it’s been in Iowa?  It’s not good TV and it’s not good for the current trend toward socialism in the United States. 

Iowans are picking themselves up by their bootstraps and are more concerned with fixing the problem than if FEMA’s going to show up with a shiny new trailer.  They are more concerned with orchestrating new fields for their corn and soy than if they are going to be relocated, for free (that reads as YOUR tax dollars for people who didn’t and don’t want to work in New Orleans!), to a Chicago hotel for 10 months. 

Do you wonder why we aren’t seeing photos and newsreels of looting, killing and raping?  Well, that’s because, to date, there hasn’t been a single case reported.  NOT ONE.   Are you wondering where the Dixie Chicks, who claim to be from “rural” America, are?   Where’s Spike Lee to help claim that the government must have blown up the levees in Des Monies?  They must be vacationing. 

Or maybe it’s just that when regular, hard working Americans do what they do best, there’s just nothing left to say.  Maybe it’s a lesson that they aren’t ready to learn yet.  When times are hard, you work.  Period.  That, in a nutshell, IS the American dream.  It’s not a hand-out or a free ride.  It’s about doing your best, working your hardest and never, ever, giving up.  It’s got nothing to do with color or George W. Bush.  Those Iowans would have been doing the same thing with or without FEMA’s help.  Obviously.  Either you’ve chosen to have a welfare mentality or you’ve chosen not to.

So for all of you out there who’ve forgotten what it’s like to be truly American…take a long hard look at the recent flooding survivors in Iowa.  They’re a perfect picture of what we used to be.  However, if you’re looking for the “change” that’s coming…remember New Orleans and all the “victims” there.  Being a victim is a choice.  So is being a survivor. 

I know which choice I intend to make.  A big thank you to all the Iowans out there. Thank you to Governor Culver for not declaring that God wants a “vanilla” Iowa.  Thank you to the farmers who saw this as a challenge, not a total failure.  Thank you to the rural, Iowans who know that George W. Bush isn’t hating white people today, nor black people after Katrina. 

Shit happens.  It’s how you handle it that determines who you really are. Waiting for someone else to come and fix your problems just makes you a leech and frankly, deserving of whatever you get.  It’s each individuals own responsibility to do the best that they can with what they’ve got.  So maybe, just maybe, George Bush DOESN’T hate black people, Mr West.  Maybe it’s just time ALL people get off their butts and start taking care of  their business and quit having an entitlement mentality.

Or I could be wrong and maybe he just hates all wet people…
