The insensitivity of the compassionate conservative

I got this email, not from someone trying to convince me, but from someone who thought it was in poor taste and wanted to chat about it.

For those of you who are not aware, North Dakota and southwestern Montana
got hit with their first blizzard of the season a couple of weeks ago. This
text is from a County Emergency Manager out in
the western part of North Dakota after the storm. Amusing, if it were not
so true........

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from an Historic event---
May I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions"? --- With a
historic blizzard of up to 24" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH that broke
trees in half, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed
all roads, isolated scores of
communities, and cut power to tens of thousands.

FYI:

President George Bush did not come, and was not expected to come...

President George Bush did not cause the storm...

Global warming did not cause the storm...

FEMA staged nothing...

No one howled for the government to do something...

No one even uttered an expletive on TV...

Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards...

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House...

No one looted...

Phil Cantori of the Weather Channel did not come...

And Geraldo Rivera did not move in to be on camera.

Nope, we just melted snow for water, sent out caravans to pluck people out
of snow engulfed cars and trucks, checked on our neighbors, fired up wood
stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Aladdin lamps, and put on an extra
layer of clothes because up here it is take care of yourself and
others and work or die.

We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a
mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for
'sit at home' checks.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this
early, we know it can happen and and we know how to deal with it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 45.25
degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."

Who are the people who write this insensitive stuff.
How many homes did the blizzard destroy? How many businesses were wiped out leaving people without jobs? How many people died? How many people lost everything, including loved ones in that blizzard.
Are the right wingers so callous that human lives mean nothing to them?
