  • Guess what not your real name

    Though I'm sure it begins with "dumbass."

    Knowing they live in Tornado Alley, Kansas and the pre Bush Weather service developed all sorts of warning systems. It is why the death toll is so low. They received a 30 minute warning that a tornado was approaching and a 15 minute warning that the tornado was approaching their town. This gave the majority of people time to get to shelter instead of being killed without the slightest sense of what was going on.

    It is also because Kansas's notorious tornado alley that it used what state dollars it could to build up the people and equipment necessary to come to their citizen's rescue. What they didn't count on, which had never happened before this, was that the government would seize their men and equipment and hold and destroy and let them be killed over a four year period and an additional number of years to which the government will never commit to any end.

    Yeah, they sure are hayseeds, unlike you who sit fat, drunk and lazy rooting on people with the only threat to your stupid lifestyle is if you ever accidently switched from FOX to some other station you might see that destruction Dubya (your God) warned us about.

    Wherever you live, unless it is a cave, which is highly possible, you may be subject to the effects of nature. When that happens take comfort that no rescue will come for you because they are working so hard dying to ensure that some terrorist wasn't hiding under your bed.

  • Your logic is impeccable

    I stand in awe of your impressive arguments. I may never be able to post again out of sheer ignorant shame. But before I go, with my tail between my legs I can't help but look back at the true source of my humiliation:

    You describe an incident in which "those rich beachfront property owners profited from your worst enemies: the Fed govt. and the media.

    You then go on to point out how those poor farmers inland where left to drown and screw themselves all thanks to the evil Fed Govt. and media.

    Now years later when poor farmers in Kansas lose their entire town and members of their community, you don't blame the evil Fed government for not merely failing to compensate them, but taking away their National Guard. You don't blame the evil liberal media for ignoring them, but for pointing out their plight. Instead you blame them for reasons you have no reasons for you.

    In short, the Fed govt and media are evil when your are told they are and the poor farmers are "hayseeds" whenever you are told by your handlers that is what they are.

    You do not speak out of logical thinking because your head would explode if you actually thought your statements through. And since your handlers have equated anyone as disagreeing with Bush as having sex on Brokeback Mountain with Osama Bin Laden, you are so afraid of looking at how stupid you sound you are left only repeating things that make you look sooo stupid.

    I changed my mind. I'm posting again. I just thought you needed something to latch onto, because what your lips are attached to smells pretty bad.

  • You are delusional

    Yeah, all my leftwing friends refer to poor farmers as hayseeds. Well, maybe not, since no one has called them that since the GOP during McKinley's presidential campaign.

    But you must have read that or heard it in school along with Emma Goldman. I bet you couldn't recite a single statement she made let alone describe the Spartanists. I'm willing to bet the only way you are compared to her is the fact that, being dead almost 90 years you both stink. But hey, I'm not hear to play or enter a battle of wits. First I write for those who see these words and understand what a dumbass you are, and 2) I never enter into a battle of wits with someone who only comes in half loaded.

  • Huh?

    "'Reverand' is something people should be more considered living down than with living up?"

    Funny, I always thought that's you Hitchens felt about being called a writer.

  • Article of Impeachment number 74

    The President, through his political advisor, willfully subverted the Department of Justice by usurpring the power to hire and fire attorneys in order to obstruct justice and engage in malicious prosecution for political gain.

  • A simple suggestion

    The Dems and antiwar groups should identify those GOP Congressmen they need to override the President's veto, the one's in the shakiest states and districts, and mount a campaign to get their constituents to call, write and e-mail these Congressmen with a simple message: "If the troops aren't home by the end of 2008, you will be."

    I would even start picking and campaigning Dem opposition candidates in those districts now. It is only this disaster in Iraq that has the Presidential campaign already in full swing. The same should apply to Congress.
