    Bush appointed "Brownie", a guy who had no experience with dealing with catastrophes. This idiot you idolize, appoints a LOT of people who are not qualified, they're just people with similar views.

    wake up, kid; you're living in a fantasyland, an illusion.
    perhaps you should meet the "fun guy", or savor the blotter; may do wonders for your misguided perception.

    He also likes to appoint people who used to work AGAINST the environment to be in charge of the EPA and the Forest Service. Isn't that a grand thought! Let's put big business mongrels in environmental positions. :rolleyes: Yup, this dumbass is soooo great

    *sigh*More of the tired brainwashed strategy. Hitler advocated mass genocide. Bush advocates freedom.

    It is human nature to want to be free, and Bush stands for freedom. So, it's rediculus to call me brainwashed. It should be human nature to see Bush is good and Hitler is evil.

    I noticed Brown was called 'Brownie'. That gives away contemptable and blind hatred right there. Instead of making real points about how 'dumb' Bush is supposed to be, Bush haters just call out names.

    Brown DID skrew up, I know that. But Bush AND many others had every reason to believe he'd do the job. It was THE HURRICANE ITSELF that took everyone by surprise, and it became too much for Brown to handle.

    Hardly Bush's fault. It was Browns fault.

    Indeed, I'm sure Bush as well as everyone else learned many lessons from Katrina.

    Bush is the one who referred to him as 'Brownie'. He used to refer to his buddy from Enron, Ken Lay, as 'Kenny Boy'. Now he doesn't say anything about Lay.

    Brown had no expertise in emergency management. He got his FEMA position because he was an old college buddy of Bush's campaign advisor, just like GW got his job because of his dad and family influence. If Bush expected him to do a 'heck of a job', he's as nutty as Brown.

    And of course, Brown and Bush had to put on a nice PR act in front of the public wasting time with their little situation board and pointers to try to make it look like they were doing something while people were dying in LA, much the same as how Bush sat at the grade school in Florida on 911 biting his lip while thousands were dying. They didn't have their act together for either 911 or Katrina. The lack of Brown's expertise was so indefensible that Cheney (or whoever is really running this administration) had to pull Brown immediately, even though it looked embarassing right after Bush's compliments about him.

    If there's a lesson to be learned from Katrina, number one is: don't appoint incompetent people to head critical agencies.

    Freedom like domestic spying. Freedom like the Patriot Act. Freedom like ignoring the Constitution.

    Pardon me, I'd rather have real freedom, not the Bush version.

    Ever heard of F.I.S.A.?

    Protections for citizens that take into consideration their civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution???

    Hell no, you don't have to break the law!

    That's a cop-out. A fascist cop-out.

    :mad:

    GERMANS IN 1933: "How else will we stop the enemy? If we don't have the Enabling Act? If we don't allow der Fuhrer to be above the law?"

    CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS IN 2001-2006: "How else will we stop the terrorists? If we don't have the Patriot Act? If we don't allow der BUSH to be above the law?"

    No, thanks! I'd rather have the Constitution and my freedom than Bush-style "security".

    speak for yourself, kid.

    "bush advocates freedom" ?? lol you really do eat up all his bs

    As it happens no..but i have now..

    OR.. due to the inevitability of innocent people being 'tapped' and the miniscule deviation or violation of 'civil libertys' being pounced upon by certain groups...

    Under the Fourth Amendment, a search warrant must be based on probable cause to believe that a crime has been or is being committed. This is not the general rule under FISA: surveillance under FISA is permitted based on a finding of probable cause that the surveillance target is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power, irrespective of whether the target is suspected of engaging in criminal activity. However, if the target is a "U.S. person," there must be probable cause to believe that the U.S. person's activities may involve espionage or other similar conduct in violation of the criminal statutes of the United States. Nor may a U.S. person be determined to be an agent of a foreign power "solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States."

    It's hardly a 'fascist state'..it's called having 50 'rights' lawyers to 1 Bush

    I dunno how they even manage to do 'legal' wire taps ..





    If you did not bring Natzi germany into nearly everything.. i reckon i would agree with you more.. or at least not be repulsed by your comaprisons
