Quote:
CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS have been sending me long, detailed e-mails about the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. They are all designed to place the blame on New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, while exonerating President Bush. These electronic messages have certainly been impressive and revealed previously unknown facts. After reading them, I acknowledge the timelines of what happened, when and who knew what, and when and who signed what and when. My friends are right that state and local government were the first lines of defense -- and they failed. This represents a systemic failure of government at all levels.

While their details are valid and their points well made, these are merely the facts. Facts usually matter far less than perception, and perception is often reality.
HuH? Shocked

I always knew the liebs believed that, but I didn't really think I'd ever see one admit to bleieving it...

How in the fawk can you ever get thru to someone who flat out states that they could care less about the facts, it's only what they FEEL that matters?

What was the need of creating a separate thread for this ?
Weren't we discussing it someplace else already ?

Typical selective reading.
Let me highlight the parts that you chose to omit -

a systemic failure of government at all levels.

more from this article -
Quote:
In this crisis, George W. Bush failed the perception test. As columnist Charles Krauthammer says in the Sept. 9 Washington Post, Bush was ''late, slow, and simply out of tune with the urgency and magnitude of the disaster." For whatever reasons, Bush did not realize the magnitude of the disaster, make it his first priority, and take visible action. He did not give the American people confidence that someone competent was in charge and about to make things better. While he may indeed have taken action and signed orders during this time makes no difference. These things are not visible to the American people. What does matter is that he was in the wrong places at the wrong times. He said the wrong things in the wrong tone of voice. He demonstrated -- consistently -- the wrong emotions.

The perception is that he let the American people down, and we as a nation are very unforgiving of such a perceived betrayal.

It's common sense that any orders that he signs hold no meaning if the federal agencies don't do their job.

The "order signing" was right in place.
However, the ground action was missing.

If you believe that the federal agencies did a "heck of a job", then you can either go through the previous thread about federal response on Katrina, or we can do it right here, one more time.


Mayors & governors get the blame for local governments' failure.
What is so wrong with blaming the president for federal agencies' failure ?

And that's exactly what this article says -
Quote:
The person who does matter is George W. Bush, and that it why he is drawing so much ire.

The statement the author makes about facts and perceptions is about why, he thinks, is "the rage directed at President Bush".

I don't think anybody here but the non-"libs" talks loud without facts, or turns a deaf ear towards the other side's arguments.
Any argument from the "libs" over this has been based on facts.
Once again, you can either go through the other thread on federal response on Katrina, or I can re-post the facts here, all over again.

And I really don't understand how this discounts the blame that the President righteously deserves.


S3nd K3ys wrote:

The so called "libs" have always accepted the local governments' failure. You can either read the other thread, or I can quote it here.

But the non-"libs" never let anything tarnish the image of dear president.
Even when they accepted the federal agencies' failure, Bush is still scot-free !

Now we know why you didn't post it in the other thread,
It is because you are not willing to put this right after the post where you accept (however little) failure on the part of federal agencies ?

This sums up your attitude - (This, I have to quote from the other thread)
S3nd K3ys wrote:
Agreed. Most of my statements concerning the feds were in reference to the Pres, but you're right... FEMA is a federal agency and has some serious issues.

It's those dolts that simply lay the blame on the pres without any real knowledge of what's really going on, or, for that matter, what the 'chain of command' is.

Some here would have you believe it's the Pres's job to be in the trenches doing the dirty work, and that, if there's any kind of 'situation', that he should NOT go on with his day to day things.

Kind of like when he takes a 5 week vacation, some turds want to make it seem like he's not doing anything during that period, or that the Dems never take vacations or play golf etc.



I say "How in the fawk can you ever get thru to someone who flat out denies to accept the president's responsibility, despite knowing that the federal agencies did a bad job" ???

Federal agencies failed, but Bush was great !
Let's blame it all on the 'chain of command' !
Any body who does otherwise is a "dolt" or "turd".


By the way, it's spelt "lib" not "lieb".
Unless, ofcourse, if that's how you debate. By calling names.

Don't worry. The past "doesn't matter". So in the future they can either deny saying it or disclaim it as outright irrelevant.


...

Bush's alleged failures are in that past. Why can't they let it go? hmmmm.

Maybe their perceptions are defective? yah think? Remind them that perceptions of a thing is NOT the thing itself. Perceptions of facts ARE NOT themselves facts necessarily. Liberalese is infurriatingly dim.


Requiring basic logic skills starting in elementry school would essentially eliminate liberalism in future generations. Since many of the "feel it" people would never pass final exams they'd be substially less of a bother in society.

Liberalism ought not be tolerated.

Bush's alleged failures are in the past? If you have been reading the threads these past few days, you'd know that there has been some pretty good debating about Bush's failures regarding Katrina and the feds' "quick" reponse. Yes, the past. Katrina happened a looong time ago now, didn't it? Let's all forget it, because it's in the past. So, a few hundred people died. But that doesn't matter, because it's in the past!

You know, generally, they say people learn from the past. Yes, let's all forget the past. Let's all make the same mistakes. Let's all have another World War, because we've forgotten the past mistakes. yay! Rolling Eyes

So far, on this forum, all I've seen the "logical" conservatives do is-
1. Deny all kinds of facts that are anti-Bush
2. Protect Bush and show pure denial even though Bush took responsibility for his failure (regarding the Katrina Feds' response... you're going to have to read the other threads, I don't have enough time to quote them)
3. Keep their eyes and ears closed to everything the liberals say, and scream "Lieberals! Lieberals!" or "Liberal media! Bias!" ... I think I've made this point in another thread, but I think I won't need to quote it if I leave you to read the other threads in this forum.

Oh, and guess how children start out at school... by thinking outside the box... by accepting new ideas... by keeping their minds open. If conservativism is all about closing your eyes, your ears, and your mind (like most of them have been doing to ALL of the liberals' ideas) then a conservative school would be a very very sad place.

By the way, it is the conservatives here, who have repeatedly brought up this discussion.

The author was stating why the people are unhappy with Bush.
It's been taken out of context and your own thoughts very conveniently added to it.
It's not the people's perceptions but your interpretation that's defective.


Whatever happened to the facts that prove that Bush administration did a poor job ?
Whatever happened to the fact that Bush accepts this ?
you call them perceptions too ?
Hit him. Deny hittting him ?

If that's perceptions then, then let's hope people base their mandate on these "perceptions" and not on your "facts".

And your assumption is ?
And the "basic logic" behind that assumption is ?

Liberals lack logic ?
Albert Einstein was a liberal.

By the way, If you demand a change in what is taught in the schools, then by the very definition you're a ****** liberal.


gonzo wrote:

That's a very nice thing to say (if nothing it certainly tells a lot about you),

But is there any specific reason for this intolerance ? the "basic logic" ?
Apart from the fact that you are not a liberal and that you cannot tolerate those who do not share your political opinions ?
Or is it just the way you feel ?

It's intolerant people like you who ought not be tolerated.


gonzo wrote:

No...screw them. Deny screwing them. Screw them again. Deny that you were ever supposed not to screw them.

And I'm not surprised to hear that you find it "entertaining".
I'm sure that the people of New Orleans have learnt to distinguish facts from perception after this.


Since they cannot disprove Bush administration's faults in any way, the "logical" and "bright" conservatives are hiding behind making fun of anybody who speaks against him.


So the Bush administration screwed up. so what ?
But if you blame Bush for any of it, you're a ****** liberal

Bush accepted the responsibility of a federal agency, I accept this. I have never said Bush was flawless, no politician is. Bush was being blamed for not doing something that he didn't even have to do. It is local and state's job to respond first, Bush responded at about the same time they did. Bush ordered things to be done, and if they didn't get done, don't you think the low-level employees who he ordered to do something would be at fault for the job not getting done? Bush appointed a shitty FEMA director because he was a "friend of a friend" which I think is why he took responsibility. Bush didn't accept the blame for local and state gov't not doing their job.

Perception is something that varies from person to person. A man on LSD can perceive a blank wall to be vividly colored while in fact it is a plain white wall. So should we take that man's perception and mandate that it is a vividly colored wall? The constitution wasn't written based on perceptions, but facts. Facts are what we need to be concerned about. Fact is Bush ordered a lot more to be done about Katrina that wasn't done. Partially due to one of Bush's apointed federal agency heads, partially due to local and state governments being incompetant.

Most cons wouldn't scream "liberally biased media" if it wasn't true. In the 5 years Bush has been in office not one good thing was shown about him in almost any news broadcast. You libs claim FOX News is biased to the right side, so why does FOX news show the bad thigns that happen in Iraq? Why does FOX news show Bush admitting his failures? CNN shows nothing but whatever will turn the people away from Bush. CNN's "polls" (which are mostly taken online) ONLY voter's are those who visit CNN.com and wish to take the poll. This doesn't reflect the opinion of the American people. It only reflects the opinions of lefties who watch CNN because they bash Bush.

I'm a logical conservative and if Bush screws up, I'll say Bush screwed up. So if you blame Bush for something that he actually does wrong, I would consider you observant and logical. If you blame Bush for something that isn't his fault, you are a ******* liberal.

Children who start out in school have no box to think in. They are consistently being presented with thoughts and ideas that they have never been exposed to, it can't be in the box if you haven't been able to put it in the box. They accept new ideas due to them being young and naive, and simply because that's how everyone is when they are a child.

Katrina is in the past, fact. New Orleans recovery will be ongoing and present for a long time to come. Here's hoping they don't get another hurricane this destructive.

Not all liberals are morons, sadly most college professors are liberals. A great deal of liberals have skewed thinking, and are willing to sacrifice things for their own goals. Certain ones lie to make the right look bad, certain ones would lay down their lives for trees or animals. All liberals cannot accept the fact that just because we live in a more advanced society, doesn't mean that the same rules of nature apply now as they did in previous civilizations (Roman Empire, Greek Empire, etc.).

Another problem I have with liberlas is they always opt to maintain or increase welfare spending. If a leech is on your leg, are you going to rush more blood to it? I'm not saying everyone on welfare is a leech, the disabled and mothers who's husbands took off after they had kids are different. Single mothers who stay single and relentlessly pop out kids are leeches. Instead of spending welfare cash on bling-bling and spinning rims, how about birth control so you can stop spitting out kids and get a job so you can support yourself? That will NEVER happen. If you give a man a fish, he'll eat it and won't catch his own. Liberals would rather keep giving their fish away and turn a blind eye to them not trying to learn how to fish themselves. The vast majority of those on welfare are PARASITES and you ******* democrats keep feeding them. Someone who gets all their expenses paid for them will never try to stand on their own, ever. I say we cut these people's welfare (not the disabled and not those who truely deserve it) and they will either get a job or starve. Remember how callous and cold hearted I am because I think people should support themselves?

i am sorry I went on another rant, but Liberals blame Bush for more things than he is actually at fault for. After all, the federal government only has to respond to a disaster if local and state gov't are unable to, and only after local and state gov't has already attempted to respond.

That box imagery is tiresome. But I'll play this time. We all live in the same BIG box: the universe. Some people (liberalists) deliberately self-inflict damage to the right odering of their faculties: they want a thing to be other than it is. And while it's nice to have aspirations at times it is pointless to want something to be other than it is. Not to fall when jumping off a tall building is a clear mark of disfunction.

Just for the record, when was the last time you admitted Bush screwed up? I mean, you're still denying he took responsibility or you're trying to put words into his nouth by "thinking" he's taking responsibility for something far less than what he actually took responsibility for.

Oh, and another very interesting quote:

Is he the president of the most powerful nation in the world, or a little kid who goes to bed crying because no one will listen to what he's saying? A lot was ordered, but not done? So what did the President do when it wasn't done? He's the president, for crying out loud! He has to get things done!

Now, let's look at the thinking of the conservatives:
Quote:
All conservatives would reject the premise, "change for its own sake." Etymologically, conservatism implies that conservatives seek to conserve the existing social order, or to conserve an ideal social order now in decline. That can take a radical form, and there are historical examples of radical conservatives. The Roman conservative Cicero was willing to excuse violence as a method of bringing back what he saw as the old Roman virtues.

In fact, everything in my first post was an argument to the points made by S3nd K3ys or by gonzo, but perhaps it's a little sifficult for you to see that, seeing as how you're all biased against my username.

Yes, and are you not perceiving when you think something to be the truth? Do you know the real reason the US is in Iraq? We could be there for so many reasons, but the government's not likely to come out and release an official statement that "We're in Iraq to control world economy", even if they were. Sometimes, you need to think by yourself to more explanations than what's officially offered, rather than just accepting whatever's being fed to you. And you claim it's the Liberal media feeding to the people the things they want to hear. Well, you're being fed what you want to hear from Republican media and the white house.

The church, when it had complete authority over the people, stated that the universe was geo-centric. Yes, this was the "truth" as stated by the people in command then. It took someone to think differently to what we now know is the real truth. Are you getting my point here? I can't make it simpler than this.

Bush was being blamed for not doing something that he didn't even have to do. It is local and state's job to respond first, Bush responded at about the same time they did. Bush ordered things to be done, and if they didn't get done, don't you think the low-level employees who he ordered to do something would be at fault for the job not getting done?

Liberals blame Bush for more things than he is actually at fault for. After all, the federal government only has to respond to a disaster if local and state gov't are unable to, and only after local and state gov't has already attempted to respond.

Please don't spread the misconception that the federal agencies had no serious responsibility in the disaster relief.
They are the last line of disaster response.
We are not discounting the local governments' failures, let's also not dismiss it as a minor mistake if the Bush administration fails to its part well.
You make it sound as if their responsibility was next to nothing.

And let's not separate Bush from the federal agencies.
A football team coach is not supposed to be playing the game, yet he resigns after his team's dismal performance. (and I'm not saying that I demand Bush to resign for this, that's something that the people decide)
If you thinks that Bush's only responsibility is to sign orders and not caring about their execution, you are a ******* conservative.

Perception is something that varies from person to person. A man on LSD can perceive a blank wall to be vividly colored while in fact it is a plain white wall. So should we take that man's perception and mandate that it is a vividly colored wall? The constitution wasn't written based on perceptions, but facts. Facts are what we need to be concerned about. Fact is Bush ordered a lot more to be done about Katrina that wasn't done. Partially due to one of Bush's apointed federal agency heads, partially due to local and state governments being incompetant.

Before you all again use this against the "libs".
Let me bring it to notice here that the notion that blaming Bush has anything to do with people's percepcetions (people opposing cons in this debate) perceptions, has been concocted by you.

Let me make it clear how it's been spun out of context -

Most cons wouldn't scream "liberally biased media" if it wasn't true. In the 5 years Bush has been in office not one good thing was shown about him in almost any news broadcast. You libs claim FOX News is biased to the right side, so why does FOX news show the bad thigns that happen in Iraq? Why does FOX news show Bush admitting his failures? CNN shows nothing but whatever will turn the people away from Bush. CNN's "polls" (which are mostly taken online) ONLY voter's are those who visit CNN.com and wish to take the poll. This doesn't reflect the opinion of the American people. It only reflects the opinions of lefties who watch CNN because they bash Bush.

And when libs scream Bush's failures, it is a lie ?
Yet when we argue on Bush administration's work in Katrina, nobody ever cites CNN to back their claims.

I can quote several cons here using biased media for backing their claims.
I challenge any of you to prove if I've ever used biased media for backing mine.

I'm not here to justify the neutrality of CNN or FOX,
But as long as nobody listens to them, or bases their beliefs on them, I don't see the relevance of talking about them here.

But the cons here are not ready to let anything be said against their dear pres.

His administration may screw up.
But don't blame Bush for it.

Another problem I have with liberlas is they always opt to maintain or increase welfare spending. If a leech is on your leg, are you going to rush more blood to it? I'm not saying everyone on welfare is a leech, the disabled and mothers who's husbands took off after they had kids are different. Single mothers who stay single and relentlessly pop out kids are leeches. Instead of spending welfare cash on bling-bling and spinning rims, how about birth control so you can stop spitting out kids and get a job so you can support yourself? That will NEVER happen. If you give a man a fish, he'll eat it and won't catch his own. Liberals would rather keep giving their fish away and turn a blind eye to them not trying to learn how to fish themselves. The vast majority of those on welfare are PARASITES and you fucking democrats keep feeding them. Someone who gets all their expenses paid for them will never try to stand on their own, ever. I say we cut these people's welfare (not the disabled and not those who truely deserve it) and they will either get a job or starve. Remember how callous and cold hearted I am because I think people should support themselves?

i am sorry I went on another rant

I agree with you about the "leeches".
But we don't nuke the entire city to kill the theives hiding there.

It may be true that welfare is being spent also on certain people who don't deserve it.
Similarly you must realise that when you talk about letting the welfare-dependents people "starve", many of them are not leeches.

Bush appointed a shitty FEMA director because he was a "friend of a friend" which I think is why he took responsibility. Bush didn't accept the blame for local and state gov't not doing their job.

A president must own the responsibility for all federal agencies, whether or not the director was appointed by him.
Don't glorify Bush for accepting it.
And he most definitely is not being blamed for the local governments failure.


In the end, I am actually glad that the federal agencies' failure is being acknowledged. (although grudgingly)
There was a time when the cons were trying to make them look good by saying that the federal response was adequate.
For all the ruckus that they make about facts, they were not ready to accept the facts until the president himself accepted responsibility.


And even now, they are blaming the libs.
What did the libs do ?

No we don't, but we do reform the welfare system hoping to conduct "parasitical elmination" from the program. Governmental aid was designed for people who need it, and now it's being abused. Americans need to learn how to stand on their own to feet. Those who are actually disabled should continue to get aid, because they can't stand on their own. If there we either no, or significantly reduced leeches then the people who need aid could get better assistance.

Okay I'm not going on another rant. My previous rant was cathartic because your blind liberal eyes couldn't see that it related to faults of liberals. I wasn't straying too far from the topic. In case you still don't get it, I was saying campaigning liberals promise more welfare handouts to these parasitical scumbags in order to win over minority vote.

MAJOR DISASTER.

The President shall direct appropriate Federal agencies to provide technical assistance to State and local governments to insure that timely and effective disaster warning is provided.

Hmmm... you know what? I've never really had to explain the same thing to people more than twice before. The government is not likely to come out and say things that are derogatory to it or to the government. That's why information is "classified". The government releases information which may be fact which the media reports and we do accept it as truth. However, it need not be the complete truth, get it? Case in point is the service papers of George W Bush when he served in the National Guard. When the papers were available to the puclic in 2002, they had the name of James Rath clearly mentioned, whereas the papers released in 2004 did not. Go read up on it. So, even if Bush attacked Iraq for reasons other than what he claimed, you aren't likely to find out till that information becomes unimportant enough to declassify. Uptil that moment, the reasons currently being fed to you are "the truth". Get it now?

And I don't see where I have said that perception is fact or it's more important than truth. All I was saying was that we need to just accept that there could be more to an issue than meets the eye, and sometimes perception could be the truth. However, those are only rare sometimes.

Hmmm... you know what else? You've probably never had to deal with people that can think for themselves and read between the lines before. Perhaps you live a sheltered life.

At any rate, my point was that Democrats typically believe that they can keep feeding the same lies/half-truths to people and that they'll eventually take it for fact.

For example... while the NOPD was keeping the Red Cross and Salvation Army away from the NO Superdome, the press was screaming about hundreds of bodies stacked in the corridors.

The actual body count...... 6
4 natural causes
1 suicide
1 overdose

Rumors of deaths greatly exaggerated

Do you think the lamestream media will make corrections to thier hysterical and completely inaccurate reporting ? No. Because that would mean less cannon fodder in thier bid to make Bush look bad.
