That damn Obama and his Socialist big gummint! What a bastard! What will he think of next?

Don't look now, but he's even recruited Georgia governor Sonny Perdue into his plot. I just heard on the radio today that Perdue has approached the White House for federal aid following the disastrous floods Monday. And Perdue is one of those Republicans who is down on federal interference with state issues. Or so he says! I guess Obama worked his magic and now Sonny can't wait to bring Socialism to Georgia! I just hope my fellow red staters will give a big Tea Party-style "no" to this insidious plot and demonstrate that they don't need government help. They'll get out there with their trowels and quick dry cement from Home Depot and fix up these roads and bridges themselves, just like good, hearty, self-reliant people would do!

In all seriousness, what a laugh. All of these rugged individualists are going to be the first ones at the government nipple now that their lives have washed away. I well remember listening to Neal Boortz after Hurricane Katrina and hearing a caller say, "New Orleans was a big toilet and God flushed!" Hardy-har-har! Knee slaps all around. I wonder if that guy feels like a flushed piece of shit now that he's living in a Motel 6 with nothing but the shirt on his back? Surely Boortz made sure to tsk-tsk the suburban and exurban rednecks that make up his listenership and told them they should've bought flood insurance, particularly if they lived near a creek? I checked his show notes out today, though, and no, looks like that topic didn't come up. Not a good time for one of those personal responsibility sermons, eh, Neal?

Maybe now some of these Atlantans who thumbed their noses at the New Orleans Katrina victims, who had it 1,000 times worse, will learn not to kick a city when it's down, because we're all in the same boat -- or raft, canoe, inner tube, inflatable mattress, what have you.
