Can we all just agree that Bush didn't create the hurricane? A hurricane occuring is not his fault
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Though the budget slashing of the levees is his fault. As is the patronage and appointment of people who don't know jack about disasters and the useless rathole known as the Department of Homeland Security. Also, ignoring a catastrophe that was predicted for about 40 years and a briefing in 2001 saying that it was the single most damaging thing that could happen to America, yeah, thats his fault. Oh, and whining about 50 billion dollars worth of repairs when he wages a 400 billion dollar war of choice, passes a 1.4 trillion dollar tax cut, and a 400 billion dollar drug plan isn't really his "fault." Its just him being a total douche. Oh, and just so you know, I think local officials, especially the corrupt Dems in LA and the corrupt Rs in Mississippi have a LOT of blood on their hands. |
Well, Bush apologized and accepted full responsibilty, for those who care. Actually, I think that's the first honest noble thing he's done in his terms. Thumbs up at him.

I didn't write this, but I agree with it 100%, so pretend I did:
I for one am quite ready to pass a big portion of the blame on this whole Katrina mess to the Bush administration simply for being a bunch of ****ing morons and showing that they have the planning ability of a retarded circus monkey. Just because the Bush administration can't control the weather, doesn't mean they can't at least have a tad bit of common sense when planning for natural disasters. |
'No, that's Down's Syndrome...'
My, my, that made me do my laughing face, that did. Oh. Yes. Indeedy. |
Kimon: Yeah he "apologized" and said he'd take responsibility. But like I said, when he screws up, people die. The responsibility he takes means nothing to him because nothing happens.
Lets say I commited plagarism in a book report. I later felt really, really bad, admitted the academic dishonesty and said "I take full responsibility." You know what would happen? The prof would think thats just noble as the dickens but I'd still get a zero and I'd still have to rewrite the report. Meanwhile, Bush admits: "I really screwed the pooch on this one. Thousands died. Hundreds of billions of dollars of property damage also resulted because of my ignorance and grave mismanagement. I take full responsibility." So what is his punishment? Impeachment for felony endangerment? Does he resign? Does he take a pay cut and stop taking multi-week vacations every third month? No, he takes for responsibility, and nothing happens. Its b.s. Also, half the reason we are in this situation is because Bush let Mike Brown run FEMA. He worked for the Bush campaign and got the plum job even though he never had experience running disaster programs and was in fact a horse judge. And who gets to clean up the mess? Karl Rove, the deputy campaign runner for Bush who, just like Brown, doesn't know the first thing about managing FEMA. |
Reply to rebuilding cost: Actually, it could run upwards of a quarter trillion dollars with all of Bush's add on and plans. So, we're 7 trillion dollars in debt as a nation and 11 trillion dollars in debt personally so where is that extra quarter of a trillion dollars going to come from? This administration can't have its cake and eat it. Make a decision: The war, the tax cut, the drug plan and Social Security reform or the recreation of the N.O. bowl. Something's got to give, we just can't keep on maxing out the credit card. When all of this debt finally catches up to America it will be BRUTAL.

Q: What does Bush feel about Roe vs Wade?
A: He doesn't care how people get out of New Orleans. lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol |
PA, you are pathetic.
"God killed those nasty sinners for sure! He has purified us all!!!!!! For Great Justice!!" Dude, If your god existed, he would probably be saying: " This PA guy is really of his rocker, hey Ra." "Yep." And by the way, Whats a Sodom and Gomorra? Sound like pokemon.... |
They are ancient cities that God apparently smote. And it was quite the smiting, to be sure.

Doesn't anybody remember when the pillars came down and crushed 2000 people? So all these guys sought Jesus and when he found them they were like "J.C., what the !@#$ was that for! Man, those guys must have did some devious stuff."
And Jesus was like, "God did it for a purpose, but the tragedy wasn't to punish. Why did this skill 1000 people, why did this kill 3000 people. It was to fulfill God's plan." Also, during that time people thought that diseases and blindness and things like that were because of sin. But Jesus said it wasn't a punishment after he healed a man blind from birth, he said it was to fulfill his purpose. In the case of the blind man it was to bring him to faith. So I don't think illness and natural disasters are punishments from God. |
Uh excuse me Statikk, but taking the teachings of the bible out of context is the American way goddamnit!
Don't you just love it when someone who claims to be a "christian" says something that clearly demonstrates the fact that they actually know less about their own religion than an observing atheist. Especially when they use it as a kind of insult. "My god whom you don't believe in anyway will KILL YOU IN THE FACE!". Lawl. |
Yes, I hate that. the people around me are stupid hicks, posers, and white trash idiots who think by putting down nonpreps (I would have said nonconformist, but you really can't be a nonconformist anywhere these days), and desecrating the arts will get them a one way ticket into heaven. God I'm gay.
