    I found this funny:



    Katrina? Blame the natural disasters on Bush! It's all his fault!



    (nevermind that we are having a dull hurricane season this year. what happened to "impending doom". lol)


    EDIT: I like it when liberals speak their minds. Whenever they openly speak out, it shows everyone else what complete idiots they are.

    I don't want to be in any way associated with these people, but when people say they blame Katrina on Bush, you could say they mean they don't like the way he handled the crisis, yes?

    Duh.

    Why are they lumping something awesome like theocracy in with all that other horrible crap?

    Plus that is the only thing on that list that Bush is not responsible for causing and/or screwing up.

    They need better proofreaders before publishing whacky ads like that.

    Let's not be insulting Moses here.

    Anyways, this is just an example of the far-left whacky fringe. They're filled with so much hatred for Bush that all they do is shout buzzwords and vile.

    These people seem to hate the dems, who are certainly not Bush-lite, almost as much as Bush. Every issue becomes a matter of survival to them, blown beyond all recognition. They can't stand individual states choosing for themselves on abortion or other topics. They want a ultra-liberal regime.

    Actually, some people truly believe that Bush is responsible for last year's hurricane season.

    Even if this was meant as you say, it makes it just as ridiculous. Bush is so inept that he can't organize to meet the needs of a huge natural disaster crisis. But yet he is brilliantlly capable of decieving the public into a fascist theological regime with implications of global conquest.

    The fact that they put Katrina in against a backdrop of potential militaristic dictatorship is hilarious.

    Uh, I bet these people also believe the Earth is round. Does that mean this belief doesn't hold water either?

    I personally always got the impression that FEMA botched up (very badly) in the Katrina aftermath, and that Bush had comparatively little influence in the matter- yet he still didn't manage to stay clear of blame, wich could also be taken as a sign of political ineptness.

    Mind you, don't mind me. I'm just a twisted mind trying to toy with people's mind.

    Extremists are everywhere. If you can make connections between these protestors and liberals in general, can I lump every conservative on the same level as the anorexic Coulter?

    By the way, teachers present controversial stuff in school is actually very good. You adults around here complain all the time that kids "don't vote," "don't care about politics," and all; but certainly blocking them from, say, a high school setting is one cause of that! I hope one day to be able to have teachers talk about partisan issues without having to stop, sigh, and say to students that hopefully they will not offend the students which will lead to parents contacting, complaining, and perhaps suing them, and then starts talking in a most careful manner possible.

    As long as they don't resort to propaganda, of course. Some teachers just go on propaganda mode without knowing. And you know what? The only propaganda I've heard is distinctly right-wing (calling "the idiocy of the Sixties")...

    Probably true.

    However, to be fair, there were miscues and screw-ups at all levels of government in response to Katrina and the flooding of NO is the fault of 3 decades worth of negligence (adn some malfeasance).

    Your teacher showed it to you?


    Another example of Liberal hegemony in the public education system.
    Sure... the only thing that's necessarily liberal about it is presenting ideas for discussion and allowing people to think about it freely. It would be better to not tell the high schoolers about what is going on around them, stupid teachers.

    Somehow people seem to forget that America has been a Liberal Democracy since we were made a nation...

    What would be better is if they were teaching them the things they should be learning in school, reading, writing, math, geography, etc. what class was this? How to look like a fool on “jaywalking”?

    Do Americans have irony?

    Summing up an entire and very disparate movement like that is a fairly, well, idiotic thing to do.
