Chee, what a surprise. Conjur resorting to personal attacks / insults when he has absolutely nothing else. You've shown to everyone just how big of a tool you really are, once again. Congratulations!

Actually you started in with calling people tools.

That was a general characterization, not directed at any one in particular.

And look at the title of this thread...

1 - When all is said and done my guess is that the % of people who evacuated from cities of similar populations to NO will be just about the same 80 to 90%.

2 - Texas screwed up at least one thing. Counter flow of the highways. Remember the pictures of 4 lane parking lots!

3 - I am not 100% positive but hasn't the firing at rescuers been fairly well debunked!

No, bush was damned because he didn't in New Orleans. "Youre doing a hell of a job Brownie." Rember that? Rember that he was on vacation for days after Katrina hit despite YEARS of warnings (and dont give me any of that "working vacation" sh!t. Clearing brush on your land is not being "presidunt," "fightin' terra," or being a leader)?

Now now... be fair part of the time he was eating cake and then pretending to play the guitar.

Just to counter the absurd stereotype that all liberals think alike I would say that Bush is a monkey wrench.

I'm not a liberal. People from all walks of life and all political outlooks hate Bush, and rightly so.

Another student of the conjor/dmcowen clan; straight out of the Liberal handbook.

Looks like they are so desperate that they now have to recruit... membership numbers must be droppoing again.

Yeah, anyone who doesn't like Bush, his war or the radical christian right must be a liberal :roll: It's amazing the lengths people will go to to avoid exercising their grey matter.

=======================================================
1.evacuation in No was not 80-90%.. texas and sw la. did that in three days

2.they got counterflow going, but they were late with getting it working

3. if you donot think the recusers were fired upon, keep beleiving that.

Not to any self-respecting work implement it isn't.

I own an eight dollar Pep Boys ratchet set with more basic integrity and all around usefulness than the Dub. Take the 10mm deep socket, for instance . . .

Similiar in that everyone who ever criticizes you or your viewpoints, or doesn't immediately jump aboard the "Yeah, those Conservatives are stupid!" train ( 24-hour P&N service. If you missed yours, the next will be along in the next 3 minutes :D ) are quickly dismissed as ignorant, RW, Fox News watching, Hannity/Rush listening, brainwashed Christian, PNAC-subscribing, Neocon "monsters?" The hypocricy of your repeated statements has not gone unnoticed. Why do you not afford the same opportunity of "not partisan, just independent" to those who disagree with you, or simply don't immediately chime in with a blanket "Yeah! :thumbsup:" comment to each and every "OMG! Bush is teh stupid monkey!" thread?

You'll find few people here who actually like Bush (there are some), but you've decided to expand that group to include as many people as it takes to fill your own little categorical, Black v White niches, all the while proclaiming your indignation at "you people" who dare attempt to label you. Pehaps you should ask Moonbeam for one of those mirrors..

So, were you actually banned, or did you just decide to come back under a new identiy for other reasons?

When will you realize you're being led with a carrot dangling in front of your nose? If history has any say in this, probably never. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. People don't even care as the government chips away it's citizens rights for greed and power of the government and corporations.

All these commercials spouting out "you you you, it's all about you." Yeah, that's great, but it's not all about you. It's about them, and about them controlling you. It's a great way to brainwash society into not caring about what happens to others in America, as long as it doesn't happen to "you."
Now, if only you possessed the ability to somehow connect your Ritalin-deficiency-induced "fight the man" tirade to the current discussion at hand..

edit: That's quite the late edit. Seconds thoughts?

Reread what I typed. Isn't it easy to break down an argument by not focusing on what was said but instead to just call that person names? It's called ignorance.

Trying to label my "tirade" as "fight the man" mentality is rather bothersome. You do realize government needs to be kept in check don't you, or else they just chip away and obtain more and more power. Taking a basic history class will teach you that.

Almost as easy as it is make victimization cries of "being called names" when there was no name-calling involved?

It's called ignorance.
You got that right.

100% True ... but I get a real kick out of watching the daily circle jerk. Imagine if all these jerkers were actually together (physically) in the same room :D

"Now, if only you possessed the ability to somehow connect your Ritalin-deficiency-induced "fight the man" tirade to the current discussion at hand.. "

I'm sorry, should I be more precise? Perhaps I should have said "Your ill will attempts at chucking stones, instead of arguing what was said, constitutes of rank ignorance."

It's a lot easier to not deal with a problem by ignoring it and instead focusing upon the "type of person I am," when you really have no clue what type of person I am. Would you like to deal with what I said, or would you rather throw stones all night?

So.. you're saying that you can't relate your post to the topic at hand? :confused:

Certainly. However, I feel the need to correct you, and let you know I'm not RBachman. We need to stop focusing on JUST Bush, but he is our Commander in Chief, so obviously he'll get most of the mudslinging directed at him. The govt as a whole seems rather bloated.

Sorry for derailing this thread guys. I think it'd do us all a bit of justice by focusing on the issues people are bringing up instead of trying to derail it by trying to generalize the type of people who are expressing their views.

I think there's merit in the message, but a lot of people are defensive and miss it. Every right to express how screwed up things went/are.

After reading your posts in this thread, I am 100% convinced that you are are complete idiot, and the only jerking going on here is by you with the dubya's picture in hand. Here is a suggestion: Learn to think for yourself.
