Did freeps ever weigh in about Military now controlling Katrina and Rita?
Throughout the 90s all they did was complain that Clinton would rule using the military against his own country.

What are they saying about BushInc's tactics?

In my opinion, I believe one of the reasons that Bush relies so heavily on the national guard from key states for Iraq duty is just so they WILL be absent during fire and hurricane seasons and the governors will be FORCED to rely on the Pentagon.

That way, the public gets used to the military getting called to use within our own country and against our own citizens who want to maintain their own property.

1. They just LOVE the idea of the military taking over.

They are orgasmic with joy at the prospect.

BTW, I've not heard from the NRA lately. Apparently it's OK for white folks to defend themselves during a breakdown of civil order but it's NOT OK for people of color to do the same thing.:eyes: :grr:

2. Really? Not ONE of them cares about the Constitution or worries that
BushInc may be stepping too far?

I find that odd considering that many of them claim to be conservatives.

No real conservative would stand for the military being utilized IN country while the guard is pulling military duty overseas.

3. They're not really conservatives, I suppose.
A conservative is someone like, let's say. former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming. Strong on defense, for womens' rights, conservative on BOTH debt and spending.

The freepers don't usually serve in the military. They belong to the 101st Fighting Keyboarders.

5. I don't think
that * or even KKKarl is smart enough to come up with a multi-layered plan of such overwhelming complexity. That is a Rube Goldberg kind of plan, IMO. It could work, but only if nothing went wrong.

Why grasp for a complicated explanation when a far simpler and most probably more accurate explanation is readily available? Simple incompetence is the key.
