Re: Objectivity During Crisis
[ QUOTE ]
If Rush or Bill had said that your mom was the Commander-in-Chief would you have come on this board and blamed your mom for the federal government's non-response in New Orleans? [/ QUOTE ] I would have to say that the answer would be yes, because after all, the OP does "think for himself".

Re: Objectivity During Crisis
[ QUOTE ]
Let me give you a quick civics lesson: President McChimpleton is responsible for directing the U.S. military (that's why he has the title of Commander-in-Chief) and he is responsible for directing the peoples of the executive branch (which includes FEMA). [/ QUOTE ] Let me give you a quick civics lesson: the governors are responsible for requesting the National Guard within their own states. In short, President Bush can't send the LA Nat'l Guard anywhere within LA. They don't answer to him in that regard. [ QUOTE ] Learn to think critically and stop being a parrot. [/ QUOTE ] You would do well to follow your own advice.

The LA National Guard did not have the resources to conduct the necessary rescues and evacuations. The regular U.S. military does have the resources (as demonstrated by the awesome job they did once they arrived on the scene). Unfortunately, Smirky was too busy vacationing and partying to issue the deployment order until Thursday.

Keep repeating the LIE
[ QUOTE ]
President Bush can't send the LA Nat'l Guard anywhere within LA [/ QUOTE ] Wrong. False. Not True. Say it as many times as you want, it doesn't make it true. Here, put it in all CAPS: [ QUOTE ] PRESIDENT BUSH CAN'T SEND THE LA NAT'L GUARD ANYWHERE WITHIN LA [/ QUOTE ] Nope. Still not true. Maybe if we try bold. [ QUOTE ] President Bush can't send the LA Nat'l Guard anywhere within LA [/ QUOTE ] Gosh, it is still wrong. Not true. Non-Factual. Here, how about bold and caps? [ QUOTE ] PRESIDENT BUSH CAN'T SEND THE LA NAT'L GUARD ANYWHERE WITHIN LA [/ QUOTE ] No, still wrong. Here one more time: WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. NOT TRUE. FALSE.

Re: Objectivity During Crisis
[ QUOTE ]
Did you just say that the Mayor of New Orleans has the power to direct the peoples of the Federal Government? Let me read that again. Yep, you said it. [/ QUOTE ] You read "the power to direct" when all I said was "directing"? That's creative. As director, may I wave my baton and have "the power to" make you read? [ QUOTE ] Let me give you a quick civics lesson: President (Bush) is responsible for directing the U.S. military (that's why he has the title of Commander-in-Chief) and he is responsible for directing the peoples of the executive branch (which includes FEMA). [/ QUOTE ] I researched this, and the facts kept coming up on my side -- so I kept looking, and you're right. Here are the ""facts". [ QUOTE ] Just because Bill O'Reilly or Rush said that the Mayor of New Orleans is commander-in-chief of the U.S. military doesn't make it so. Learn to think critically and stop being a parrot. [/ QUOTE ] Critical readers will note that I should not have a clue what newfant is responding to, and I don't. I suppose an appropriate response would be that I believe Ted Kennedy and John Kerry seem to like to masticate together. [ QUOTE ] If Rush or Bill had said that your mom was the Commander-in-Chief would you have come on this board and blamed your mom for the federal government's non-response in New Orleans? [/ QUOTE ] In the hope of objectivity -- let's get this over with now. Mom's are out-of-bounds. But ... if my Mom were to blame, she'd have hell to pay from me (again).
