The DU d'RAT Review

I created this blog as a response to the hypocrisy, nastiness, and negativity at Democratic Underground. The D'RATS do not allow disagreement on their site; they demand their posters tout their party line word-for-word. Any poster who does not march in lockstep is immediately banned. Their cowardice in this, and their calumny towards America's leaders, will not go unanswered as I address the issues of the day--and one of the most negative, detrimental influences in the blogosphere.

Les Ismore said...: The biggest job for the Bushies now is to transfer blame. Fortunately the 78% of Americans who see this incompetent administration for what is is, arent buying what the last of the Bush dead-enders are trying to sell.

Read the NIE. Interesting reading. I hope Bush will take the time to read it for once. That would be a refreshing change. Our next president will read the memos. You know the ones that are headlined like "Bin Laden determined to attack America" or "Iraq strategy had failed to reduce terrorisim worldwide".

So, I am glad you guys are busy pointing blame for the last 7 years of failure, while the wingers were in power in all 3 branches of government. Just stay our of our way when we fight the GWOT and undo the damage from 8 years of incompetence and corruption.; 3:28 AM

DAMN les that was SO funny that you now owe me a new laser printer! That's right I shot coffee and chicken pesto on it suppressing uproarious laughter! Save the humor for later in the day, when I get back. Maybe around 6 or 7PM.

Boy you sure are going to scare them with face to face negotiations, socialized medicine, and vigorous bouts of "diversity training!" I can see Ahmed the Beheader in his cave right now, "Omyallah guys, Hillary has just insured ALL American children! We'll be forced to hide deeper in the hills! Pack up! Bring the camels and forget the women, we'll take someone else's."

VerityINK said...: MORGAN--I shot pork lo mein and hot chocolate all over mine! Oh, those precious, darling Leftists!

Les, your feckless band of Merry Men are so busy helping those that wish to bring down America, how would you EVER find the time to fight them? (And what on earth would you fight them with--I guess Edwards could use a can of hair spray, or his wife...)

Let's play a game. Here's an actual page of flights over America, in a short space of time--say a few hours one day--(just to make it easy on ya). I have picked out 5 of those flights to target--1 more than the terrorists on 9/11--and I'm telling you about it right now.

Please go to any of the examples on this page below and tell me which flights I picked. I'll wait... (and no fair begging off--I'll even title it "N.I.E."--but don't ask Hillary or Edwards etc. about it, they didn't read any N.I.E.)

http://users.design.ucla.edu/~akoblin/work/faa/index.html

If you do not accurately pick out the targeted flights, I'm going to accuse you of deliberately crashing them yourself. I'm going to call you incompetent--and I'm going to spread the lie that everyone on earth thinks so, too. I'm going to judge you a stupid, chimp-like failure, so DON'T GET IT WRONG. 'KAY?

I'll even make it really, REALLY easy on you. Go to the first frame--plane traffic as seen by the FAA. FIND THE 5 PLANES I'VE TARGETED--not on one year or two, not during a season, or a month or two, not during a couple of weeks, not in the next ten days--not even during ONE day, one hour, one minute...

FIND THE 5 PLANES I'VE TARGETED IN ONE SPLIT SECOND FRAME--March 20, 2005 at 17:55 GST, with 17,731 other planes in the air. Now, this should be a snap for you--and it is MUCH, MUCH, MUCHO more specific than any N.I.E. Report, so I know you won't sweat it...; 5:28 AM

Anonymous said...: Damn, Donal, that was a helluva graphic! Come on, Lessy, where are all your answers? Surely, with such specific info as Donal gave you, you'll be able to pick the right planes BWHAHAHAHA! Of course, it's very politically expedient of you to use it against Bush. Little bit of an opportunist are ya there, Lessy? LOL!; 6:02 AM
Les Ismore said...: Now you guys have me shooting my milk out of my nose!

I have no idea of the point you are trying to make Donal. But I do know this, there is this thing called "due diligence". Something that may have prevented 9/11 or maybe part of it, if someone had read the memo and started on August 7th. I dont know for sure if it would have or not. What I do know is that Bush and his merry band of incompetents certainly did nothing on August 7th 2001. It is not about being able to predict what is going to happen, it is about doing the hard work to make sure the horrific doesnt. Things like better screening, locking cabin doors etc. Things that could have been started on August 7th.; 6:41 AM
Anonymous said...: oh, les....you're so cute!

Just exactly what was Bush to do when told "we might get hit by terrorists and they might be using planes and big buildings", stop ALL air travel forever, or just until the GWOT is finally won, which is about the same time frame, come to think of it?

I love it when I hear things like that......Bush has to have a crystal ball, we all have to learn the words to Kumbaya (maybe instead of those pesky patriotic songs?), terrorists will go away if we talk real nice, and of course we should meet with people promising America's extinction, how are we better than them?

tsk tsk, les. THINK, man.; 7:23 AM
VerityINK said...: Thanks, ZinLA--you said what I wanted to say. I knew damn well Les would tap dance around DOWN TO THE MINUTE INFO he could use to track 5 aircraft. Instead, he twaddles on about 'doing a better job' by locking some cabin doors and starting sometime on Aug. 7th! Nevermind that the terrorists were already planted and graduated from their flight schools YEARS BEFORE--during the Clinton debacle! Too funny!; 7:45 AM
Anonymous said...: Lessy, the 9/11ers were suicide bombers. Not getting into the cabin could easily have been thwarted by simply firing a gun into the plane fusilage - and 'better screenings' violate all that PC crapola you people are SOOOO terribly concerned about. You can't have it both ways.; 7:50 AM

Congrats on opening the DEMIS' vein.

Let them prove to us that you are wrong ,WILDY.

VerityINK said...: Yes, Sis, Bobcat made Les virtually pop outta bed and foam up! Of course, Les has sidestepped every point we've made, but that's what I expect...; 10:44 AM

VerityINK said...: Shut up,Ducky, you pathetic asswipe. You're persona non grata in our community because you're so damned disgusting, you've got the personality of a wet bathmat, and the politics of that hog Murtha. You've got no manners, no class, no sense, no charm. You're an ugly-hearted little unlikable sonuvabitch and you and that senseless idiot Uptownsteve aren't welcome here, so crawl back under your rock.; 7:10 PM
Les Ismore said...: No one said tht Bush needed to pick exactly what planes were going into the buildings in NY. Your "argument" is a strawman worthy of a 5th grader.

Imagine if you got a letter from someone you know and trust (like NSA or the CIA) saying someone was going to bomb your house in the next couple of weeks. Due diligence would demand that you take some measures to make sure it doesnt happen. Like alert the police, maybe keep an extra lookout. Alert your neighbors that someone is going to do something.

Is that easy enough to understand?; 3:18 AM
Anonymous said...: Just curious les, why do you think your Dem boys in Congress worked SO hard to enable the Flying Imams (aka muslim bastards) to sue the people who complained about their behavior?
The Republicans put the "John Doe" lawsuit protection in a bill to protect those who report suspicious activities. The Dems had a world class fit. Lemme hear you defend their behavior. Does it make ya prooouuuud?

Morgan; 4:20 AM
VerityINK said...: LES--Don't try and insult me in my own house--you'll just make me unpack all my bottles of 'You're A Jackass'--and I try not to do that...

Secondly, if Bush COULDN'T pick which planes went into which buildings, HOW IN THE HELL COULD HE PREVENT 9/11?

Your analogy of someone going to bomb my house in the next few weeks was lame and stupid--and it smacks of my original argument you tried to pretend didn't work: OBVIOUSLY, if I knew it was MY house, or a certain plane, that was going to be attacked, I could probably prevent it--but that's not what Bush had on his hands--and you couldn't pick out FIVE planes, one split-second in time, for which I gave you the down-to-the-money specifics on (not 'in the next two weeks'!)

You tap danced around that like Bojangles--somebody go get a 5 year-old kid to show Les what's what...; 4:36 AM
Anonymous said...: all my bottles of 'You're A Jackass'... Donal, you're funnier than hell!; 4:48 AM
Les Ismore said...: Donal, I'm really surprised that you cant reason on this level.

What you could do is not predict the exact moment that someone will bomb your house, of course not. What you do is put into place defensive measures so NO ONE can bomb your house.

That was the failure of this administration on August 7th. Why you and the last remaining deadenders still provide cover for this incompetent crew is almost un-American. In 1776 you would probably be making excuses for King George!; 6:09 AM
FairWitness said...: Les, President Bush doesn't need to transfer anything to anybody, you pompous ass. He has protected this country admirably and has earned your respect, not your contempt and half-baked, asinine, inaccurate assessments of his performance as Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief.

I promise you, whatever decisions this man has made, he will own. He won't blame anyone else for them, he won't pass the buck to anyone else.

We're winning this war and will win if we continue to wage it the way it's being fought right now. If his successor changes course and makes decisions that result in our defeat, it'll be that President's responsibility, not President Bush's.

Liberals are implementing their strategy, trying to depict the war as a failure right now. It's so transparent, if liberals manage to get into the WH, you cowards want to surrender and run out of Iraq, and you're laying the groundwork to blame President Bush.

It won't work, Les and it won't do. This time, this war -- it isn't anything like Vietnam. Islamic terrorists aren't going to stop just because you liberals don't want to fight them anymore. They're going to come after us, whether you like it or not. You can't talk a rabid dog out of biting.

The last 7 years have been a huge success, in spite of having to fight this war. You wouldn't know success if it knocked on your own front door.

You must be an utter failure if you haven't prospered in the best economy this country has seen in decades.

Osama bin Laden has had the most miserable 7 years of his life -- if he's still alive, that is. He has to hide in caves, scared to show himself, with good reason. I'd have to say, whether we have him in custody or not, we've imprisoned him. He's not free to do squat.

Les, you need professional help. You don't understand a damn thing about the world around you. You're paranoid and delusional. You're also sorely lacking in education.

When you're released from the sanitarium, why don't you enroll yourself in some remedial education courses? Dumb ass!; 8:57 AM
VerityINK said...: Lessy, I can't 'reason' on your level because to do so would mean I'd have to ignore vast swaths of common sense--and I can't do that.

'My' house, in your hypothetical, is ONE, STATIONARY object. It is not, in any way, analogous to thousands of non-stationary objects.

Had President Bush been told that United Flight or plane number 93 was going to be bombed sometime in the next two weeks, he could've stopped it. However, the planes and buildings were NOT narrowed down that specifically. Thus, your entire premise falls apart.

Absent the specific plane being mentioned, or it's locale, you could not pick out 5 planes EVEN WHEN I PICKED ONE SPLIT-SECOND IN TIME, ON A SPECIFIC DAY, AT A SPECIFIC SECOND, AFTER NAMING A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF PLANES IN THE AIR.

If you want to invent a comparable hypothetical, you'd have to posit protecting a house--not identified--in an area, say, the size of San Diego county for, say, the next month.

You'd have to make sure you weren't abridging the rights of ALL homeowners in the county, their rights regarding searches, or their ability to travel freely. You'd have to make sure that stopping and searching everyone, every house etc. would not negatively impact the community or the economy. You'd have to stop all possible threats from outer space, roads, boats, trains, cars, balloons, individual suicide bombers, nuclear devices, poisons, WMD's, infective agents, gasses etc.

Still think you could find the right house and keep it safe? ROFLMAO!; 11:34 AM
In Russet Shadows said...: I think this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that liberals simply can think only in terms of bumper stickers.

Les, isn't it about time that you asked your grad school for a refund?; 3:01 PM
VerityINK said...: RUSSET SHADOWS--I don't think Les is paying for his own grad school (if he's even in school). He's trying to compare guarding a business concern that has worldwide contracts with others, thousands of players and parts, world-over locations (and all tied to economies, other countries, and even rights to travel within a country) with ONE privately owned house--with no business concern, no worldwide dealings, no civil rights involved--AND with a supposedly known address, owner, and span of specific time when a threat is most liable.--and he accuses ME of not thinking things through?

On his best day he is not as smart as I am on my worst!; 8:41 PM
