A little about myself and some bush bashing :)
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 11:58 PM by soliddemocrat
Hello Everyone, I found an article on the AOL (America Online) troll boards. Usually alot of the people on those troll boards are constantly blaming the left wing liberals for the reason why this country and the world are so bad. But if you read in between the fine lines you'll find a little bit of liberal common sense and i like to excerpt that and use it to my advantage to make a difference in this world. The person who typed it should take a few English classes for grammar because their spelling was bad and i needed to edit it :rofl: but other than that it's a good article. As for about myself, i'm disabled, i'm epileptic with partial complex seizures and some grand mals i had my first seizure when i was 8 months old but i've had them all my life and didn't know about it until then, i have depression/anxiety disorder, and a social disability and a form of autism called aspergers syndrome. People call us "aspies" it's a positive nick name meaning "artist" or "intellect" :) . I like to talk to my aspie friends on the internet discussion forums when i get the chance and my epileptic friends as well. So anyways without further adue here is the article,edited,spell checked and revised.

Signed,
Greg

IN 2004, FOUR HURRICANES HIT FLORIDA AND FEMA ASSISTED WITH EACH ONE. NONE WAS AS BIG AS KATRINA, BUT THEY WERE SURELY A REHEARSAL FOR BUSH AND HIS ADMINISTRATION (i.e. THE GANG) TO GET IT RIGHT TO HELP PEOPLE IN DISASTERS. THIS YEAR KATRINA HIT AND THERE WAS MORE THAN AMPLE WARNING OF THE DAMAGE A CATEGORY 4 OR 5 HURRICANE COULD DO TO NEW ORLEANS. KATRINA HIT ON THE 29th OF AUGUST, WHILE BUSH WAS ON VACACTION AND BUSH STAYED ON VACATION WHILE PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS CLUNG TO THE ROOFS OF THEIR HOMES AND DROWNED IN THE SEWAGE AND TOXIC WASTE FLOOD WATER AS THE LEVEES BROKE. AFTER A NATURAL NATIONAL OUTCRY ABOUT BUSH, AND THE GANG'S TACTIC AND FAILURE TO HELP THE GULF COAST, BUSH CAME BACK FROM HIS MONTH OF VACATION AND PRAISED EVERYONE FOR SUCH A GOOD JOB. LESS THAN ONE WEEK LATER FEMA DIRECTOR BROWN WAS FORCED OUT AS THE SCAPEGOAT FOR BUSH'S FAILURE TO ACT. BUSH TOLD "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" THAT "NO REASONABLE PERSON COULD FORESEE THE LEVEES WOULD BREAK." THIS WAS AN OPEN LIE, OR TREMENDOUS STUPIDITY. IN 2002 THE NEW ORLEANS PAPER, THE TIMES PICAYUNE, RAN A FIVE PART ARTICLE ON THE VERY ISSUE THAT HAPPENED, BECAUSE BUSH HAD CUT FUNDS TO KEEP THE LEVEES STRONG. ALSO, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC IN 2004 STATED THE LEVEES IN NEW ORLEANS WAS ONE OF THE TOP THREE DISASTER ALERTS IN AMERICA. THE OTHERS BEING A EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK. BUSH IS OBVIOUSLY STUPID ENOUGH NOT TO REMEMBER THESE WIDELY READ ARTICLES, OR TO THINK WE DON'T. WITH ALL OF THE PREPARATION FROM PREVIOUS STORMS, BUSH AND HIS GANG STILL DID NOT ACT TO PROTECT AMERICA. BUSH RAN ON A CAMPAIGN THAT HE COULD BEST DEFEND AMERICA, YET THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THE LIES OF HIS CAMPAIGN. AFTER KATRINA, BUSH WANTED THE PHOTO OPS WITH HIM HELPING DURING HURRICANE RITA, TO BOOST BUSH'S PUBLIC APPROVAL, SO BUSH FLEW TO COLORADO SO HE COULD BE ON HAND TO RUSH IN AND HELP THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS AFTER THE HURRICANE. THE PART THAT FAILED WAS THAT RITA DID MINIMAL DAMAGE TO TEXAS AND MAJOR DAMAGE TO LOUISIANA. THUS, RITA UPSTAGED BUSH'S PRETENSE OF HELP. BUSH WAS PRAISING "HIS FELLOW TEXANS" ABOUT RITA RELIEF, WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN LOUISIANA HELPING THE REAL PEOPLE AGAIN IN NEED AFTER KATRINA AND THEN RITA. BY THE WAY, BUSH SHOULD NOT SAY "MY FELLOW TEXANS," BECAUSE BUSH IS FROM CONNECTICUT, NOT TEXAS. BUSH FAILED ONCE FOR NOT ACTING IN KATRINA AND THEN FOR ACTING WHEN THERE WAS NO STORM DAMAGE IN RITA. TO BUSH THIS IS ALL SIMPLY POLITICAL, BUT TO THE POOR PEOPLE OF THE GULF THIS IS THEIR LIVES. SHAME ON YOU BUSH FOR TRYING TO USE HURRICANE VICTIMS AS A POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY. YOU HAD A CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT WITH MANY REHEARSALS, YET YOUR VACATION WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS. THE BUSH GANG EVEN TRIED TO BLAME THE GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA FIVE DAYS AFTER KATRINA STRUCK BY SAYING THAT FEDERAL AID WAS NOT DUE, BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR HAD NOT DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THE TRUTH IS MS. BLANCO DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA HAD ISSUED A STATE OF EMERGENCY TWO DAYS BEFORE KATRINA HIT. AT LEAST, SHE WAS DOING HER JOB AND TRYING TO SAVE THE LIVES OF HER CONSTITUENTS. BUSH HAS SHOWN NOTHING BUT FAILURE TO ACT, BLAME OTHERS AND THEN TRY TO USE A HURRICANE THAT DID NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, TO SHOW AMERICA HE IS HELPING. HOW PATHETIC IS BUSH ANYWAY? HE CAN'T EVEN FIND A HURRICANE IN A SEASON FULL OF THEM. SHAME ON YOU BUSH.

4. hello solid-dem
Is that right your an aspie?I once helped a person who had a fit and
I remembered to put a wet towel in her mouth,it worked out well,the woman soon recovered and took her to the hospital.
That was a terrific story and right on the mark.That idiot son had a
duty to America on Aug 27.he was required to head back to DC and ready
the troops for Major Disaster but he chose to ignore the dire warnings
I wish misery and hardship on all in that Bush Crime Family,I curse them all.
Welcome to DU....many bright people here !!!!!!!

Welcome to DU
:hi: :thumbsup:

In Internet parlance ALL CAPS is shouting. Please do not shout at us, your friends.

Other than that. Nice post.

Looking forward to more (non-shouting) posts.

My sister has epilepsy, and my nephew has Aspergers. And I know the artist label is true - my nephew is doing illustration and animation! (He's 8!) :)
