My title says it all. I believe the entire purpose of Eric Cantor's demand that America must behave like a 3rd world nation and do NOTHING to help it's citizens during a natural disaster unless we enact budget cuts that will make us more like a 3rd world nation is twofold, it helps him use terrorist hostage taking tactics to achieve his political goals, and when people become outraged after the disaster Republicans will get to blame everything on Obama and say this is "his Katrina".
Mark my words, if Hurricane Irene is bad, Republicans will run with the talking point that this is Obama's Katrina. You can bank on it.
Because denying Americans aid during a natural disaster amounts to a government shut down. If sabotaging America in every way they can during Obama's Presidency is wrong, Republicans don't want to be right.
Republicans are banking on people suffering, and they intend to blame Obama and the Government as the cause of that suffering. It's all part of the GOP plan to make sure Obama and America FAILS so that they can "take their country back." Republicans have every reason to make people suffer more, the more the better, since they are going to blame the black Democratic President anyway. Republican policies make people suffer so the rich can feast anyway. When they are in power, Republicans ignore that suffering so they can keep feeding corporate welfare to the crooks who bribe them, when they are out of power they blame all of the suffering they created while in power on their successors. This is the mindfuck of running on voter outrage, as the GOP did successfully in 2010, it gives Republicans an incentive to rob you and make your life worse and stop a recovery from taking place while Obama is President so they can blame it all on him.
Eric Cantor, speaking on behalf of the millionaires he represents, has stated that he does not give a fuck about America or the people who live in his district. Cantor says America can't afford disaster relief for America unless we cut something else out of the budget. What he is really saying, on behalf of millionaires like him, is that the millionaires and super rich don't give a shit about America or Americans and they refuse to pay ONE CENT more to keep Americans from drowning in the streets.
With Republicans like this, who needs Hurricanes? To Republicans who are hell bent on fucking up America as much as possible so they can blame Obama, Hurricane Irene is like having Christmas early. The Hurricane will fuck things up, Republicans will make sure the Government is a useless as possible, and then they will blame Obama, and you can guarantee that the talking point for next week will be "Is this Obama's Katrina?"
The GOP vision of America is a fucked up 3rd world shithole with tax shelters for the rich. The rich can afford nice mansions away from Hurricanes. To quote President Dick Cheney, the rest of you peasants can, "Go fuck yourself."
I hope I am wrong on this. I hope this Hurricane isn't bad and that no one gets hurt and there is no major damage. I consider it massively unpatriotic to tell Americans NO ONE IS COMING TO HELP YOU during a national disaster. God forbid we raise taxes on millionaires by one cent so that millions of Americans can enjoy a higher standard of living, or even survive a national disaster.
I'm sure the free markets will save us all from Hurricanes.
By the way, thanks to everyone for letting me vent yesterday. I needed it. My sorrow has been replaced by outrage and anger, anger that the entire Republican party is hell bent on making Americans suffer so they can continue robbing the poor to give to the rich.
A hurricane is coming. The millionaires are safe on high ground and they have pulled up the ladder behind them. On behalf of the millions of Americans who live on the east coast, including New York City which I love, let me say to Eric Cantor and the rest of the Republican party what Clark Griswold once said
Only a criminal makes you choose between your money or your life. Once again, Republicans have proven that they don't give a shit about your life, they only care about your money and how much of it they can steal. And if they can blame it on Obama, well, even better.
Republicans are to patriotism what cannibals are to a culinary school.
