If you really thought that's what the debate should be about, you wouldn't spend so much time calling Democrats fifth-columnists and otherwise engaging in the internet equivalent of trying to get zoo visitors to look at you so that you can sling your feces at them.

Wow, more personal attacks, although technically you are somewhat correct. I also think the debate should include lower income taxes and the end of the death tax.

"This should serve as the latest, most serious evidence that we are in a war against a brutal enemy that intends to attack us over and over again in the most indiscriminate way."

Au contraire -- I hate the game, not the playa.

What about Michael Chertoff's performance during and after Hurricane Katrina makes you happy that he'll be responsibile for homeland security when this brutal enemy tries to attack us?

Fair enough. I agree with that, which is why I gave up on the game long ago.

Although the height comment was unnecessary.

You're absolutely right.

Let's just surrender now and get it over with

A good link to video clips and pics in regard to both alleged photoshopping and alleged staging of events that are going on in Lebanon.

Apples and Cadillacs. But nice try. It's always amusing to see people blame the Katrina debacle on incompetence when it serves them in an argument on homeland security, then shift and blame the Katrina debacle on inherent GOP racism when it serves them in an argument on domestic policy. You can't have it both ways. Was Brownie racist or incompetent?

All the while completing ignoring and denying that the bulk of cupability lies with Nagin the Village Idiot, his higher up Idiots in the Governor's mansion and the decades of Democrat party rule and corruption in N.O., in no small part by the Landrieu family, including but not limited to the current Senator.

Wow. I was beginning to think, based on Penske's shrillness and Slave's idiocy, that perhaps I had hallucinated that.

And yet, you said it. That was my big complaint with the "old" Penske. You displayed a tendency to shoot from the lip without letting your words pass even momentarily through your brain. Apparently the condition is subject to relapse.

But feel free to prove me wrong.

What's your point. I clarified the statement. I think it is a legitimate issue of debate in the current electoral cycles. The rhetoric is strong, but so what? I would rather have strong rhetoric that inflames public awareness to the dangers of appeasement and ignorance of the risk than to end on the tragic side of the next 911 or worse.

If we had stronger rhetoric and more inflamed debate maybe we could have avoided 911, but the MSM in collaboration with Clinton was too effective at distributing the kool aid to dumb down the masses to what was happening.

He certainly was incompetent. You can argue about which aspects of Katrina reflect what sorts of racism, but that argument doesn't make Brownie or Chertoff look any better.

eta: It's only apples and oranges if you think the Katrina response reflected inherent GOP racism instead of incompetence. Is that what you think?

Ah, so you reserve the right to color it however you like for purposes that suit the argument. It's a little racism, a little incompetence. Like a little country, a little bit rock n' roll.
