Newt opens his mouth, and garbage spews forth. It is second nature for him, as for so many other conservatives, to blame the impoverished segment of society for their own poverty. Right. Tell me, Newt, about the courageous fight you waged to raise the minimum wage, so that people could try to climb out of poverty. Tell me how hard you fought to increase funds for affordable housing for the hard working, yet poor members of society.
Tell me, too, about the glorious battles you fought to increase social services for the elderly, and the children, in a valiant attempt to make sure that they would not be forgotten, or left behind. Tell me, too, how since the hurricane was predicted well in advance, you rallied to coordinate efforts to provide transportation out of harm's way to the large numbers of our citizens who had neither the money, nor the means of transportation, to evacuate the city, in the face of the largest natural disaster in living memory.
Instead, what I see is a man who has fought tireless battles to keep the poor, the elderly, the children, ground under the heel of corporate greed, and Republic cruelty to everything which does not increase their power, or earn a penny or two for them. I'd like to know just exactly HOW the victims of Katrina were supposed to become successful citizens, when every government institution under the control of the greedy, corrupt party he belongs to is dedicated to making the lives of the less fortunate not just bleak, but unbearable.
Do you, Newt, not feel the shadow of a divine wrath, as you spew forth words of hatred, and contempt, for those who will not be sending you money, or the Republic party money? Is it a Christian trait, in your eyes (overlooking, of course, you many love affairs, and wife swapping, where you trade in the older model, recovering from cancer while still in the hospital for a newer version} but really, is it a Christian trait to blame the less fortunate for a disaster they had not the means nor money to escape?
How fortunate for the religion you profess to honor, that Jesus did not have you write his Sermon on the Mount. He would have surely had you to put him straight when he said that "As ye do unto the least of them, ye do unto me", because surely you would have given a really good right-wing, fundamentalist, corporate lecture, telling him that feeding the poor, clothing the naked, and helping the downtrodden would just be giving in to their "lack of citizenship".
Newt, I've known for many years that you and I belong to different political parties. After Coulter's venom, and your lack of compassion, I now fear that we don't even belong to the same race. For that, I am deeply grateful.
