It’s remarkably frightening – and remarkably sad – when a Louisiana congressman (Rep. Richard Baker – R-LA) from Baton Rouge (just up the road from NOLA) has this to say about the effects of Hurricane Katrina:
“We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn’t do it, but God did.”
That’s sick and wrong. And I hope that, come 2006, this guy finds his arse out of a job. He certainly isn’t a good representative of the people from Baton Rouge, that’s for sure.
I may not be a believer, but that’s sinking to the lowest depths to insinuiate that public housing was a bad thing, and that “God” had it in mind to “clean up.”
I wonder how many of these so-called believers in Christ realize that their man, Jesus, was a radical socialist?
