Disconnected

The post prior to this was a link to a java applet that simulated fireworks which I thought people would find fun.
In response to that I got this comment.


So all of a sudden you want America to believe that George Bush loves New York City?!

What didi he say about the NY Times reporter? Wasn't it a swear word of all things? And what did the EPA tell NYers after 9-11? That that white substance they were breathing was not asbestos? And what did Bush do with his promise to the First Responders?!



I started to reply in the comment thread but I thought I should do it out front instead.


What in the world does your comment have to do with my post?
I should delete your comment since you are too cowardly to use your real email address but I will let it stand to show how people on your side of politics have no interest in communication other than to spout your party line.

In the interest not apprearing to duck your point. Let's take them one at a time.
In fact let's continue this on a post instead.

First we have a comment that was made about Adam Clymer, I believe, the comment was made, they thought, in private and was picked up by a mike they didn't know was turned on.
Was is your beef here? That Adam is not an asshole? Well from what I have seen of him he is.
Perhaps you think that everything said in private should be subject to censorship? Let's see what any member of congress says in private during a week and then we can talk.
If it a swear word that bothers you then you issue should be with John Kerry who used the f word on a public radio show. Did you take issue with that?

I will skip over the EPA unless you think that Bush directed them to give out imformation that is incorrect. As we have seen through administrations of both parties the EPA frequently gives out incorrect information.

On first responders. The bext thing that can be done for them is to make the effort that is needed so that they will not have a future problem. That is what we are doing in Iraq. I would much rather try to prevent the problem than to spend the money being prepared to clean it up after it happens.
That is not to say that First Responders are being ignored. As a former member of the local bioterrorism task force I can attest to the fact that federal money is going out to the local governments as fast or in most cases even faster than they can spend it. In a lot of cases I saw the problems that exist are not at the federal level but at the local level where petty bureaucrats look at this as just another honey pot opportunity to add to their local empires.

In the future please stay on topic or limit your posts to the DU where they like your kind of crap.
