I cannot agree with you more. And, on top of his proposal, the dubya dummies have already contracted a lot of their work to their insider friends, ie Halliburton, without bid. In other words, Halliburton, et al, will make a mint off the New Orleans reconstruction, the same way they are making money off the Iraq debaucle. Billions of dollars just get "lost", but that doesn't stop them from getting no bid contracts. I hate these guys. With every tra

You're so afraid that God might actually be a part of daily life. Why? Why do you fear religion? Because it holds us accountable for our deeds...our ideals. You should fear Him, then, if that's the case. I don't fear religion. I'm not afraid of "God". I don't believe in your god, and your god doesn't

It was actually kind of fun. I don't remember which ones I got wrong, but some were questions about who brought the specific cases, which I didn't know. I learned something.

Reply to 25,000 Body Bags, Where Are All The Bodies Mayor Nagin? in Politics JoeUser Forums

It is so infuriating when rightwing neoconservative ideologues claim that the left just loves death and dead bodies and destruction. It is bullshit. It's disingenuous, slanderous, bull. I am left. Most of the people I know are lefties. Of all the writings I read from left sites, there isn't ever anyone ever wishing for more bodies. It's just crap. CRAP. And, I resent the slanderous, not so generally pointed remark that lefties love bodies. You

I find the term 'nigger' almost as offensive, maybe more offensive than displaying the confederate flag.

(btw, if i ever saw one of my loved ones displayed in such a fashion, i'd hunt down the creator of that video and sue the pants off of them.) I'm sure you even wish it happened. It would be your ticket out of poverty.

Just as the left gleefully (albeit secretly) celebrates high casualty days in Iraq because it helps them prove a point BULLSHIT

Reply to 25,000 Body Bags, Where Are All The Bodies Mayor Nagin? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I dunno. If I saw fifty bodies floating around, all bloated and rotting, I'd swear that the death toll was huge. Even if it's a knee jerk reaction to the death toll, and the count is way less, so what. I'd think that was a good thing. Don't you? Are you now blaming lefties for the initial high estimates? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm................. Yeah, I guess if you're reading Malkin, GOP Bloggers, et al, no freakin wonder. Spin spin spin around an

One thing I have to say about COL Gene. He's getting a lot of people to do some research. Unfortunately, they only believe stuff from sites they like the answers to. It's no surprise that I back the COL 100%. But really, do any of you actually read the stuff? Or, are you just in a who can post more crap duel?

Spc, you're right. I'm sorry I offended you. I take back the "ugly" part. I still think he's a hypocrite.

Yet you proudly display that symbol of racism, the confederate flag. You're a hypocrite. I bet you're ugly, too.

Karen, I'm so sorry that you have to endure all this hardship. Believe me, I understand at least part of it. I was a single parent for most of my kids' growing up years. It's really hard. It's sometimes overwhelming. We are here for you if you need us. At least, I am. I'm going back to work tomorrow, though, so daytime I'm not available. I'll be dragging my sorry ass, or shall I say, casted leg, around the office, and I am sick of this.

Guess Arlington is next. All those Crosses and Stars of David (Altho the ACLU does not care about the latter). Ya know, guy, I keep trying to like you. But, then you come out with this absolute crappola bullshit. From this statement, one can only assume that you are inferring that the ACLU is made up

Bush calls himself "a uniter, not a divider." Yeah, he's a uniter, all right. He's united the majority of this country and the rest of the world against him.

Thank you, Kingbee. I've had conversations with NPS officials, and I really now do agree. Some people here have lost their minds. They've lost touch with reality. They are totally zonkers. They make it up as they go along. The only thing offensive about the designs are you all who attribute Islam to it. However, having said that, the fact that you all are so outraged makes some think that the name may be unfortunate. But, the design rem

Paulison is probably best remembered as telling Americans (along with Homeland Security Tom Ridge) that their "survival" kt should include plastic sheeting and duct tape. I had no idea.

So, at this point, I'm willing to accept your apology and hope you accept mine... then we can go back to the healthy and happy lack of tact we enjoy between us as we agree to disagree on issues and just plain agree on other facets of life. ;~D I had to laugh at this statement.

Thank you, yet again, Dharma. When I read that, I was going to post a similar response, but then thought, why bother. I would just get hammered. Now, it was your turn to be spot on. I cannot go. I have a broken leg. I haven't even been able to go to work. All I could do is donate money. So, I did, to two separate causes, one for people and one for the animals. There, I have tooted my own horn. But, I feel good that I could
