Buying Spin...Why Are They Spinning
So the left side of the isle has been spinning the whole New Orleans was a total fuckup issue. I have been just as guilty as anyone at doing that as well, and feel a bit disappointed in myself for being a sucker and eating up the spin. Sure pieces of it were fucked, but some of the response was pretty quick for how big of a problem that hurricane caused.
For a great deal of time some on the right side failed to comment, and then out of nowhere the president said "I take responsibility". What does it mean for him to say I take responsibility? Well I don't see him or Brownie or anyone going to jail over fucking up, so it is not the type of responsibility they expect 1 in 138 Americans to face...the kind that requires them to be behind bars right now. No, it is something entirely different.
By saying the system is at fault, and not placing blame on any individual, it means that they can say that the system is broke and needs these xyz fixes. What is required to make those fixes?
Government contracts & carpetbagging.
Consolidation of wealth.
Leeching of rights.
Exploiting the common american & those who are down.
Fucking disgusting.
