I remember just three years ago. The scene was chaotic, people were everywhere, frantic! Concern etched on their faces, “Is it too late? Have I waited too long?” No, it wasn’t fearful Gulf Coast residents hoping to get away from Katrina. It was fearful Democrats trying to find a camera and microphone to condemn George Bush and the GOP for hating poor, black people. Such awful white men simply couldn’t be anything but racists considering the way the entire situation was mismanaged. Why, they probably did it on purpose. I had no idea evil corporate technology had progressed to the point where we can generate Category 5 hurricanes on demand. Damn you, Haliburton!!

The fact that Ray Nagin, the black, male, Democrat Mayor of New Orleans, and Kathleen Blanco, the white, female, Democrat Governor of Louisiana so totally mismanaged the local situation on the ground that people who depended on them lost their lives because of their incompetence while others lost everything they had for the same reason is seldom acknowledged. Instead, Bush and Co. is blamed. You’d think the truth would get out, but you’d be wrong.

The GOP is legitimately concerned about the timing of this week’s GOP nominating convention in Minneapolis and the arrival of another huge hurricane on America’s southern doorstep. The specter of Democrat usage of clips of Republicans enjoying themselves at parties juxtaposed with hurricane footage and human suffering from the Gulf strikes fear into Republican hearts and warms the cockles of whatever Democrats consider theirs.

So much so that Democrats are publicly gleeful at the possibility of the damage, death and destruction about to be visited on Gulf residents by Hurricane Gustav because of the negative impact it will have on the GOP Convention. Just so we’re clear, I will repeat my charge. Democrats are excited that people may die or lose everything in a Katrina repeat because it will rain, literally and figuratively, on the GOP parade in Minneapolis.

It is understandable that some of you may think this is just my low opinion of Democrats finding a voice, Poor Blue, he just can’t help bashing the Left. They do so much good. They’re so compassionate and effective he has to keep tearing them down to elevate himself! Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. The next time I tell you something unflattering about the Left, remember this. Because there’s video proof.

Two prominent Democrats, former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and currently serving Congressman John Spratt, Democrat of South Carolina, while on a plane returning home from the Democrat’s Convention in Denver openly and publicly laughed about the possibility that Gustav would damage our country and kill our people because it would be good for the Democrats to have that to talk about opposite the GOP convention! In an un-Democratic meme, they even invoke the name and participation of God in the event choosing to view this as evidence God is on the side of the Democrats!

The video is here. Both of these despicable excuses for men should be drummed out of the Party at a minimum and expelled from our country for their callous and cavalier attitude. Given what happens to Democrats who engage in outrageous behavior; men like Barney Frank, William Jefferson and Bill Clinton, this will probably be the best thing that ever happened to their political careers.

Excuse me if I continue to find Democratic promises of concern for the welfare of the little guy repulsive, repugnant and, thanks to these two - I don’t even know what to call them, they don’t qualify as “men” in any book I own - thanks to them, I can add opportunistic lies to the list.

Please, you Democrats out there, the ones refusing to condemn these two or call for their ouster, explain to me where and how I am wrong? Justify this. Given the attitude of the upper echelons of your Party, I really do Hope there is Change in the wind for November.

I got what I would normally consider a routine email yesterday.  It was the RNC schedule and roster of speakers for the upcoming soiree in Minneapolis next week.

It was about as interesting as watching paint dry until I realized something.

On Monday night, the following speakers are listed:

Gov. Tim Pawlenty (Minn.)
U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (Conn.)
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.)

On Tuesday night these folks are slated to speak:

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani
Gov. Sarah Palin (Alaska)
Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.)
Former Gov. Tom Ridge (Pa.)
Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson (Tenn.)

Wednesday night’s roster sports the following:

Gov. Bobby Jindal (La.)
Former Gov. Mitt Romney (Mass.)
U.S. Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.)

And closing night has the final slate including:

Gov. Tim Pawlenty (Minn.)
Former U.S. Sen. Bill Frist (Tenn.)

None of this would be anything earthshattering except that also slated to speak on Wednesday is the following person:

Republican Party’s Vice Presidential Nominee

If we assume the RNC is not being clever, there are a lot of names on the list that are NOT going to be the GOP’s VP nominee.  Now the suspense is killing me …
