Johnson's statement was certainly in part theatrics, but his ordering in convoys of food, medicine, and guardsmen backed up his words.
On many issues I'm a lot closer to libertarianism than I am to either of the major parties. But since there still are such things as governments, there are times I'd like to see them act helpfully; see my praise of Taft above.
I have to disagree with Reagan's famous quote. I think "I'm from the government and I could easily help you, but instead I'll just stand with my hands in my pockets and watch as you slowly die" is even more frightening.

I promise I'll come over and help you out with the "Your DEMOCRAT MAYOR and your DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR fucked up too" crowd.
Some sample retorts:
1. Ray Nagin isn't running for president.
2. "Kathleen Blanco did it too" is not a valid argument past the third grade. Please butt out. Adults are trying to have a serious conversation.
