Spin Zone / Re: What Kind of White Person Do you Want to Be?
« on: September 25, 2016, 06:56:55 AM »The Obama Admin, Hillary, the Democrats and the media has succeeded in polarizing us by race, gender, religion, economic status, sexual orientation, etc. LBJ really started it, and now look where we are.
Yeah, there was no racism at all in the Johnson administration. You bet.

« on: September 25, 2016, 06:54:04 AM »Bullshit. Try reading the real history on the subject before relying on liberal talking points.
The fact that you can do little more than insult doe snot say very good things about your intellectual capacities. If you think I'm wrong about something you might give your version of events. You might even back them up a little.
But you prefer insults.

I'm relieved to hear it. The last thing we need is another protracted ground war in a broken state suffering sectarian tensions.

According to politifact, about a quarter of what Hillary Clinton has said is untrue. Roughly 3/4 of what the Donald has said is untrue.

« on: September 24, 2016, 07:43:14 AM »Bush didn't mobilize FEMA quickly enough because many of the Katrina victims were BLACK. He purposely wanted them to suffer because of their skin color.
I doubt that quite strongly. I just don't think Bush and his team were up to the task at that time. Bush was and is a very good man. He even grew into the role of POTUS quite well. But he bolluxed a lot of things out the gate, and Katrina was one of them.

« on: September 23, 2016, 06:50:36 PM »It doesn't take much to do a fly by in a plane or helo. At least Obama could have done that with no disruption. That is what Bush did in the beginning of Katrina and was criticized for it. He later went on the ground, and was still criticized by the mainstream media and Dems.
He wasn't criticized by me. But before Katrina he treated FEMA like a bad entitlement program, and then found his administration unprepared to deal with the aftermath of Katrina. Perhaps even a FEMA at its best could have done little with a disaster of that proportion. The real damning thing was he was supposed to be the POTUS who would deal with terrorism, yet his administration couldn't cope with a well tracked and utterly forecast natural phenomenon. Made them appear utterly incapable of dealing with the chaotic onset of terrorism.
Seems to me that the current floods are a disaster of similar magnitude, and like I said I'm not seeing a lot about how bad the federal response is. You might all claim the media is keeping it quiet, but I doubt it. Everyone likes a story about government ineptitude, no matter who's in charge.

« on: September 23, 2016, 02:06:50 PM »Yeah, that has to be it. If it were Bush, would you say the same thing? No.
I did not expect Bush to be in the middle of New Orleans during the worst of Katrina. My criticism was not of his personal actions, but that FEMA has been nearly destroyed by mismanagement. I hope they're doing better in the middle of this crisis. I genuinely don't know, but I'm not seeing a lot in the media, which is usually a good thing.

I suspect Obama delayed his visit since I think the last thing Louisiana needed in the middle of all this was the POTUS with his Secret Service detail and all the draining support from the relief efforts for a photo op. I think he did the exact right thing.

Lots of drama. Either one of them will be constrained by Congress, so there will be a limit to the damage they can do. And don't tell me about the SCOTUS, since no-one really knows what the Donald will do.

« on: September 23, 2016, 01:17:32 PM »um, no. you don't understand due process.
What part of innocent unless proven guilty do you not understand?
That's why you get put in jail if accused of a crime and you don't have money for bail. Like I said, so long as their's due process to get people off if they don't belong, I'm cool with it. But said due process must be timely and transparent. It doesn't work if the FBI says that the evidence against yo tis classified and you can't see it.

No, I would believe it were she examined by an MD who made the diagnosis. A bunch of arrogant know-it-alls on the internet doesn't cut it in the book of Steingar. Her MD said she was OK, and even did it in language that an MD would be expected to use.
