  • So do people who predictably respond with nothing but “you don’t comprehend.”
    • Why did you post that here? In fact, I almost always post detailed rebuttals when I disagree, so obviously you can't be referring to me.

        Like the one sentence post above, bitching about someone not knowing what he is talking about... when what the person actually does is point out articles written by others?

        Yeah... right.

        Any interested party could search thru your exchanges as see just how lacking your responses are.

        I especially liked the part where you linked to his *entire* blog. Wouldn't by chance want every stinking point from a(ny) particular post thrown back in your face as being t

          So when he -- not quoting anyone else -- called Judge Roberts an asshole, that was merely pointing out articles written by others?

          Pull the other one!

          Feel free. Is that supposed to make me worried, that you could "expose" me?

            See, this is part of my problem with your statement about 'detailed rebuttals'. You didn't provide a link...

            I have to wade thru three pages of posts to even get a glimmer of what you are referring to. I couldn't even tell what your original post was referring to because of the lack of detail.

            Nope, he wasn't just pointing out something written by someone else (in that case). Not a

              So? You seem to think I care if you fully understand what I am referring to. I don't.

              I couldn't even tell what your original post was referring to because of the lack of detail.

              As noted in my last reply, I was not referring to anything specifically. Read much?

              How on earth can you say that he has no basis to make that claim?

              Apart from the fact that those regions voted mostly FOR Bush?

              And it very muc

              • As an aside, I just wanted to say that the gentleman you are currently sparring with has zero clue about what happened with the aftermath of Katrina and why.

                • You are right. I don't know what did happen. And a lot of effort is now being put into making sure others don't either.

                  But...

                  I was, a long time ago, in the National Guard and as part of that duty trained in responding to these kinds of issues.

                  As a National Guardsman I did actually respond to the Govenor's call to help with the riots in Miami in the early eightys.

                  I've also got 13 years experience and training as a "first responder" for nuclear incidences.

                  I also know that my wife works for an organization (th
                  • I only know what *should* have happened.

                    Then you also know that the National Guard is directly the responsibility, and under the control of, the governor, not the President. Yet you still say Bush is primarily to blame for the supposed lack of response. Hum.
                    • Then you also know that the National Guard is directly the responsibility, and under the control of, the governor, not the President.

                      It is a bit more complicated [af.mil] than that. (That is why there are Guard Units on the base closure list.)

                      Note that the above page says "When Air National Guard units are not mobilized or under federal control, they report to the governor of their respective state ...". The state function is secondary (actually tertiary since they can be mobilized by the feds for emergencies in oth

                      Of course. But the bottom line is that she is the one responsible for having the personnel, being able to deploy them, and actually deploying them.

                      Hell, my issue wasn't even with Katrina, it's handling or the subject of your original journal entry.

                      And I hope it's been perfectly clear I couldn't care less what you think about that.

                      Second of all, I've already told you ... ... many, many things I couldn't care less about.

                      You sure have made a lot of entries trying to counter something I didn't say.

                      Maybe you should have someone check your meds. They aren't working.

                      You are wrong too often in your interpretations to be given that privilege.

                      According to who?

                      I am the authority on the meaning of what I say. Not you.

                      For the record, my initial entry into the conversation was your assertion that you always provide detailed rebuttals.

                      That's a very nice
                    • You are a dick.

                      When people are dicks to me, I am often dicks back to them. It's a fair cop, but it's not exactly a point in your favor.
