LOL!
Looney 'toons bump!
Yet ANOTHER way to mess with a Liberal. Get them into a Katrina discussion (not hard, just say "Katrina"). Then ask them what the traditional role of the Federal Government has been when Hurricanes (or any Natural Disaster) strike. Oh and do they know what the "Posse Comitatus" Act is?
As usual, they just sputter off, since they don't know the answers.
"there were no gray areas in Katrina"
"for portraying the federal government as 100 percent wrong"
I'm so sick of hearing this. We have tornadoes in our area not hurricanes. We don't get a three day notice that we are about to be hit, we might get ten minutes to an hour to GET OUT, not three days. NO ONE has to tell us to seek shelter especially not the President of the United States, the governor or the mayor. We actually have sense enough to do it ourselves.
We have had people's families completely wiped out. NO ONE held concerts, no one but the local community (which was expected) helped them. We don't expect the Federal government to be our nanny. We learned to take care of ourselves and to know what to do in case of a tornado. I don't understand why people who live in a hurricane area don't do the same.
If I (in Arkansas) knew there was a chance of a category four hurricane about to hit New Orleans by listening to the news then anyone living in New Orleans should have known too. They were told to take, at least, a three day supply of water, food, clothes, medicine, etc. and to GET OUT, find shelter. Instead, they were roaming the streets like nothing was about to happen. Now, someone else is suppose to take the blame?!!!
I live in Earthquake country. We get zero warning. And I don't remember calling for FEMA to come and bring me gourmet food when the 1994 Northridge quake hit.
No one in their right mind would expect it. But, we are talking about the MSM who blew this into another "scandal" by the Bush Administration. It's getting old, fast. Most people can see straight through them by now. They just haven't figured it out yet as they lose more and more readers/viewers (which can't happen fast enough for me). We have finally figured out they are a bunch of lying creeps who couldn't care less about this country (especially people in flyover country). They are more interested in their beltway cocktails parties where everyone agrees with them.
Right! The libnuts are nutso because Bush didn't personally fly a million-plus helicopters into 186 SQUARE MILES of NOLA to rescue those who ignored the warnings to flee. They are enraged that Bush dared to flood all but one road into the city.
Of course..it's all Bush's fault, him and Rove blew up the levees, specifically in and around the 9th ward.
LOL!
"Tim Russert is a friggin a--hole."
I don't know if I'd give him that high a rating.
Right...they ignore posse comitatus in spite of the fact that ALL FIFTY GOVERNORS are all for it. The state gubnahs WANT CONTROL OF THEIR STATES. The libnuts fail to realize that.
Libnuts are clueless and irrational.
Thanks for the ping!
Tony snow was all over this. He called it Brokeback Mountain. (who cares if I spelled it wrong)
