Help Lizard Breath Save Bush from Hurricane Katrina

Chertoff booted Brownie from his post in NOLA.He's been replaced by a general, I think.

Carter was not a great president, but he sure became a great person and leader. If the same happens for Bush... why would I want to stop that? However if it is a return to politics as usual, I hope Karma hits him right in the nuts.

The thing is, Carter was always a very good man, who was taught and lived a good value system which emphasized helping people, always doing one's best, and making a real difference through public service.He is also a very entrepenurial person with good business sense and is a pretty charismatic leader and talented diplomat who is not averse to hearing bad news if it's the truth.None of these things are true of Bush and never have been, so my hopes that he will retire to do great things for the country is very small.I predict that he will end up more like OJ Simpson, who searched tirelessly for Nicole Brown's killer on the golfcourse.This message has been edited by schrafinator, 09-13-2005 09:17 AM

That may all be true, but my point was in regard to his management style and his lack of the ability to delegate authority without keeping intimately involved. In other words, micro management. If taken to extremes, this can cause as many problems as the "hands off" management style employed by Bush.

Oh, no disagreement from me on that point.That's why he wasn't that incredible of a president.Clinton was much better at putting talented, experienced people in positions suited to them and letting them do their thing with his vision.

Well, I have that general opinion of him as well, which is why I didn't call him "bad" either.He's not anything close to what might be called a "deep thinker" and combine that with a privilaged, indulged, aristocratic upbringing, a mother seemingly completely incapable of feeling compassion towards poor people, and a strict policy of surrounding himself only with people who agree with him dooms him to mediocrity.

You really don't pay attention do you?

You really are just a big ol' jarhead, ain'tcha?Tal, the captain of the 9th grade forensics team in my high school would have wiped the floor with you.You must come here because you like the abuse, because it sure isn't to debate.In all seriousness, if you are interested in maintaining our stereotypes that the political right is largely uninformed and uninterested in becoming informed, and incredibly biased to the point of being unable to comprehend reality, you just keep right on posting your comments, getting pummeled with facts and reasoned argument, and then running away.

If he's not getting paid to do this then he's likely a masochist.

Well, we know he wouldn't be the first to not get paid to do this.I think if he was really a member of psy-ops he would be here more often and engaging us more frequently.

Unless he's actually a liberal operative. When I read his, er, contributions I sometimes get the impression that he must be making fun of the stereotypes of the loony right.

---

Yeah, that's what I was sayin'.

Yes, and I don’t think there are a lot of people who have served in the military on this board...so when there is one on this board who is ultra conservative with the same god, country, family, mantra and in total support of Bush and the republican party regardless of how many times he shows what a retard he is, then I think that feeds into the stereotype of the military...hence schraf calling you a jarhead.

---

Right. Oh, and there are several people here who have served in the military.By the way, what is the Army equivalent to calling someone a "jarhead"? (thanks for the correction)
