A heck of a habit

Despite the tremendous ridicule President Bush got for saying that then-FEMA Director Michael Brown was doing a “heck of a job” post-Katrina, Bush is still praising people that way. At a Thursday summit on international education, he termed Condoleezza Rice “a heck of a secretary of state” and Donald Rumsfeld “a heck of a secretary of the defense.” He also noted that “our ideology is a heck of a lot more hopeful” than terrorists’.

    Well, when you have someone with the brain of a Parrot and the vocabulary of a chimpanzee, what do you expect…Shakespeare?

    I’ll bet that not one single blogger here has a favorite, or go-to word or phrase, such as, right on, okay, like, uhh, etc.

    I don’t think much of Bush, his intelligence, or how he runs the country, but this is ridiculous. Completely pointless blog.

    Rhonda’s diary

    I really don’t have a topic today. What will I do? Say, you know, President Bush says “heck” a lot. I don’t like it when he says that. I bet if I write about that surely someone will jump in and bail me out.

    Yeah that’s it. Maybe someone smart will even be able to tie it in to impeachment, nuclear war, and $70 oil.

    Well, when others aren’t smart enough to do that, I just jump in and take-up the slack.

    It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

    Ed,You really don’t get it; Bush is God’s punishment of America for allowing evangelical christianity!

    Rhonda’s Diary (continued)

    And then, maybe a man named Jed… will just throw out an insult to evangelicals, just for the heck of it(Oh no, I said that awful word!), and maybe a big ol’ fight will start.

    You see diary, you really don’t need a topic.

    Out,Pardon me, I’m just feeling a little put out after visiting with a friend this weekend who just got out after two months in the hospital from being nearly killed by a bunch of Dallas christians who objected to her rainbow flag bumpersticker. I realize you’re all good people, I just get a bit upset by the ways you often express your christian love.

    You all need to stop referring to Bush and Robertson and the rest as Christians becasue they are zionists and they are doing the work of the anti-christ!

    But the best stamp is given by the product of this ‘religious’ education, the Jew himself. His life is really only of this world, and his spirit is as alien to true Christianity, for instance, as his nature was two thousand years ago to the Sublime Founder of the new doctrine. Of course, the latter made no secret of His disposition towards the Jewish people, and when necessary took to the whip in order to drive out of the Lord’s temple this adversary of all humanity, who even then as always saw in religion only a means for his business existence.” (Hitler, Mein Kampf, pgs. 422-423

    Jed: I’m sorry for what happened to your friend, and I understand how that can affect a person.

    There is no excuse for that occurring. I have not met the type of “Christian” who would do something like that.

    Out,Accepted. I have, unfortunately, run into a fair number who feel enabled by Terry Fox, Joe Wilson, Jerry Falwell, Donald Wildmon, Pat Robertson, Fred Phelps, and a whole lot of other christian spokesmen to so express god’s wrath at anyone different from themselves. This was only the latest in a string of such incidents. I just wish it would stop!

    Once again, my current favorite bumpersticker is “Jesus, save me from your followers” Bet that would get me killed in western Kansas.

    If you think there isn’t a problem with Bush’s cognitive abilities, check out this link:

    By those standards, Bush is a “heck of a president.”

    Shakespear kick in the rear! Bush is right …… compared to himself FEMA Director Michael Brown did do a heck of a job!

    Bush started with a balanced budget, an elected President, and country at peace, and IT white collar jobs in America.

    Michael Brown started with huricane Katrina. Considering we are now locked in to getting our American back sides kicked in a mindless war, enormous debt, American jobs especially white collar jobs moved to China, India, and Russia, and bogus elections here at home folks! What a fraud! Too bad we don’t have some inkling of democracy here at home? GW was right Brown is doing a heck of a job compared to all his other lies and the job GW had done destroying American jobs, freedom, and a balanced budget. How much is our debt smothering us every second? Plus, we all got to love the price of oil with oil men running the country!

    Like Walker, I didn’t really consider this thread worth the time, but I figure I’d post some smartass comment anyway.

    Then I read Jed’s comment.

    I don’t doubt that we’ve seen progress towards a more tolerant society since the tumult of the 60’s, but we have still have a LONG was to go, and we’ve actually regressed in a number of appalling ways.

    Incidently, that’s one reason why we SHOULD care about Alito.
