3. It was meant with sarcasm...
In no way can that be what FEMA is doing, maybe NOT doing.

9. BWHAHAHA! That's a good one. Scary though, because it's true.
"Fuckups" Endangering Many Americans would work too.

11. You clowns play right into Bush's hands by trashing the whole agency.
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 10:31 PM by Divernan
He's done his best for five years to gut, castrate and destroy FEMA. Your stupid reaction by projecting the fault for Bush's deliberate sabotage onto the entire agency is just what he's counting on.

However, there are still about 5,000 non-politically appointed, highly trained and skilled people who continue to be on call day or night to leave their homes and families for many months at a time, work a minimum of 12 hours a day, seven days a week, living and working under terrible conditions - how would you like to have lived in a tent on an airport runway in Florida for months, while working 72 or more hours a week? They are the kind of fine and selfless people who make a career out of responding to disasters and helping desperate people, instead of lounging around the country club and calling their stock broker.

Each of you wiseguys should educate yourself about this agency and what Bush's henchmen have done and continue to do to it.

On Edit: The only people at FEMA who support Bush are the political appointees he foisted on the agency.

15. I disagree that people are blaming the worker bees....
I've not heard a negative statement about the ones actually doing their jobs. And I don't believe there are that many STUPID people who would say to chimp-boy to totally disband the agency. I am well aware of the "starving" of FEMA - it is in the same category as any other budget item that benefits the average American. I think every American is thinking "OH EXCREMENT, what if my area has a catastrophe"?? There is NOT a single city in this country that could handle a crisis of this magnitude using their own resources, be it money or manpower. Lighten up and a new motto:

Let's make Turdblossom an endangered feces!

18. Your thread smears and ridicules the entire agency.
and shit has a way of sticking. Your name calling and ridicule are hurtful to the majority of FEMA workers who are struggling to save the reputation of their work. And everyone who's responded to your thread has joined in the cheap shots.

I repeat, attacking FEMA's good name and reputation is playing right into Bush's hands. And your post specifically ridicules FEMA, not it's politically appointed hacks.

You are like the people who ridicule all Catholics as child molesters instead of criticizing the church heirarchy which enabled the molesting priests.

19. As an attorney for a state legislature I worked with FEMA
and with our state emergency management agency in responding to floods. What's been YOUR personal experience in disaster response?

20. Oh, so you don't acknowledge ANY hard workers?
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 11:20 PM by Divernan
Well, at this moment, thousands of them are just crawling into bed after putting in another 16/17 hour day. The originator of this thread says "I've not heard a negative statement (on this thread) about the ones actually doing their jobs."

Well, excuuuuuse me, but if someone called you a murderer, fuckup or fucknut, I THINK you would consider that a negative statement.

17. Consider who is running it!
We are not "crawling out of cracks." I think most of us are referring to their current fuck ups.
