Sitting in my chair, typing this, I find I am strangely sickened. On this great big world wide web of truth and lies, I see that there are many who seem to feel that the current results of the rescue efforts are the result of racism.

Perhaps rather than racism, it is the exposing of the lie that government can save you. This country was founded by people that believed that God helps those who help themselves. Survival depends on self-reliance, preparedness, bravery, sacrifice, and not on government nanny state handouts. The state since FDR has been a plethora of nanny state handouts that infantilize out poorest citizens, sapping them of the will to take care of themselves. Welfare, guaranteed retirement programs, Section 8, free food, Feminism, and every other nanny state socialist program have incapacitated the poor to be able to take care of themselves. Somewhere along the line, the state rendered itself god and made promises that it could protect you and take care of you. In it’s ascended godhood it promised freedom, but not freedom to live free, but rather freedom from responsibility, freedom from taking care of yourself and your own, freedom from having to learn the tough realities of what productive work and taking care of yourself really means. Now we have millions of citizens running around looking to appease our government masters to get more hand outs and better protection - Out looking for Mr. Godbar…..

People bred to depend on government as savior experience the lie that government can protect you the most especially when something like this hurricane happens. Now please don’t misunderstand me here. This is a difficult, mind numbingly, unbelievable disaster with suffering unimaginable. Yet what I hear from the Nationalist Socialist Dummy-crats on the left is nothing but blame. Dreams die hard, I suppose, and watching the illusion that the savior government can save you from all lifes woes must be just as devastating to their ideology as the hurricane aftermath is to the survivors. When the state becomes god, the let down by god is hard.

What also is sickening is the behavior of those looting, pillaging, raping and plundering. In New York following 9/11 there were heroes in magnificent proportions. Complete strangers coming together to help, volunteer and save those in need. That is happening here also, to be sure, but there is something else at work here in the behavior of the looters that goes way deeper. It is a contempt of this society, of this culture, that is being acted out on a grand scale. Criminal gangs, acting more like Sudanese government thugs than American citizens are hampering rescue efforts. It is the attitude of those who believe that they are owed and this gives them the conviction and justification to do these awful things.

It is my deepest hope that as many people as possible are helped, saved, medically treated, sheltered and feed. Yet I understand the limitations and magnitude of this task. I also understand the ineptitude of government and it’s inability to deliver on it’s promises. Somehow, it doesn’t seem like chanting the usual blame game of racism is going to help. I ponder on how white families and churches in Texas are taking survivors into their homes and churches is racist. I wonder how millions and millions of white Americans sending money, food and clothing to aid the survivors is racist. But none of that matters because the Federal Government, our Messiah, has not aided quickly enough or provided salvation.

It seems to this writer that some part of the American character is gone and damaged, and the usual suspect fools chanting racism deepens the conviction. Perhaps *God* will save us because the demi-god state surely cannot.
