News – Obamamessiah invokes wrong parable. Now with bonus prophetic video!
Bryan commented on it first but I got something to say too.
It’s obvious to anyone familiar to the parable that Obama really stepped in it here. He tried to omit the part where the parable talks about the “house built on sand” but Bryan does a good job of filling in the gap for Obama. He also does a darn good job of pointing out that New Orleans (the biggest ****hole in America) was literally built on a shifting base that would eventually swallow it anyways. The Levee problems began long before the BOOOSH! administration took office and the infrastructure of Louisiana was already in poor shape before Katrina hit.
The storm uncovered the problems with that state and city, but the left tried to spin it to be Bush’s fault. The left claims that Bush didn’t act quick enough with the National Guard. Well, funny thing is that there is a law that forbids the president from making an action like “sending in the National Guard”. It’s the states responsibility and the Governer/Mayer/state officials all dropped the ball on trying to save those people.
Not to mention the Governer blocked Red Cross from giving supplies to the people in the Super Dome.
Who’s to blame here? Obviously the state and those people still trying to rebuild that fallen castle built of sand.
Here’s the bonus video that uses Zeppelin’s song “When the Levee Breaks” over a montage of picture. The people in the comments try to spin the video as an American Hating Forum (and the creator might have meant to do so as well) BUT! the pictures illustrate the corruption and decadence that came after the storm had hit.
Not to mention they have a picture that shows about a hundred school buses that could have been used to flee the city. Guess what! They were all underwater.
I guess Zeppelin was warning about things such as this back in the 70’s. Did no one from the infrastructure or core of engineers in Louisiana hear this song?
I’m not sure what either of your points is. Obama was pretty clearly speaking not of the physical infrastructure of the city, but rather of the people and the city itself. Taking that as a point to complain about the city’s problems and who is to blame for them is reasonable, but I’m not sure how that makes it the “wrong parable” or even misrepresenting the parable. Obama doesn’t think that what he is talking about was built on sand: you guys are simply changing the subject from what he meant.
