Conservatives say the darndest things

Okay, I'm confused.

In fact, if you subtract the horrifying images of the Superdome and Convention Center from the "newsreels" (and your memories) there was next-to-nothing wrong with the federal response (or the federal, state and local responses in Mississippi and Alabama, whose coasts were savaged more completely by Katrina than was the city of New Orleans). And when considers [sic] the FACT that the Superdome and Convention Center debacles were strictly the result of local and state government incompetence, it means that there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the federal response. PERIOD. Eventually, this truth will come out. The truth always does.

In addition, when New Orleans is restored, renovated and repopulated in RECORD TIME, this will seen as a huge triumph of the federal government's wonderful efforts (huge and comprehensive efforts which went nearly completely UNREPORTED by the MSM but which are compiled HERE by RELIEFWEB, an outfit run by the UN....[elipse is sic, emphasis mine]

Whoa. Disregarding John at Dissecting Liberalism's request that we have our brains wiped clean of the disturbing images from New Orleans, isn't it odd that conservatives are now embracing the "federal government's response" and look forward to the "huge triumph of the federal government's wonderful efforts..." to rebuild a city? Perhaps the original post that he's linking to and lifting from was being snarky, but the Right's new embrace of the federal government and massive government spending is, well, almost kinky in its upending of the natural order. This is the same people who wanted to reduce the size of government so that it would small enough to drown, ironically, in a bathtub?
