First, some background: there is an organization called the The Presidential Prayer Team. According to its website, PPT is a nonprofit, charitable organization. The Presidential Prayer Team is not affiliated with, nor does it receive funding from, any political party or office of the government. You can probably figure out the purpose of the orgnization... PPT has a junior organization, PPT for Kids. The kids' website is very well-done. It helps guide kids toward the right path, using Biblical passages, news, advice, articles, inspirational statements, and much more. A key component of the site is the current week's lists of people and "things" for which PPTKids should pray.
Stay with me. This really is leading us to the real culprits in New Orleans.
On June 10, 2005 they were given clear orders to pray for Mike Brown.
Twenty days later, on July 1, there were specific instructions to pray for Michael Chertoff.
Do the math, and it becomes clear: PPT Kids' members had three full months to pray for these leaders before Hurricane Katrina struck on August 28.
Clearly the PPTKids either did not pray enough, or their measly prayer effort was not enough to convince God to enable these bureaucrats to save the city of New Orleans.
The little brats were too busy, and they made the great leaders at DHS and FEMA look bad. Not to mention that they encouraged looting, killed untold numbers of citizens, made people suffer from hunger and dehydration for several days, covered the city in sewage, prevented people from getting adequate medical care, and impeded the work of state and local officials.
The good news is that tens of thousands of Democrats have been evacuated, thus helping tip the balance in N'awlins and Louisiana for future elections. The bad news is that all of those angry Democrats have been sent to Red States.
