Rev. 16:3: "The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died."
Did you notice that the oil spill is reddish brown? We have had volcanos and earthquakes and now the sea is turning brown like old blood--or the blood of "a dead man". I'm not saying this is the same as what we read in Rev. 16:3..., but I'm hoping everything doesn't die in the sea from this spill.
Someone sent this to me. I am neither pro nor con on it, but thought it might be worthy of interest. Question: GULF OIL SPILL: A Sign of the end? Or just a political and bureaucratic mess?

Yes, the tea party and the GOP nominate people who stand up for small government, and mean what they say and say what they mean.

Ahhhhh, I was wondering when someone on here would blame Bush/Cheney. Tell me, whole could have stopped all off shore drilling in the gulf between the years 2009-2010 but didn't? Whose been out golfing, going to concerts, and vacations during this oil spill? I didn't realize that someone who wants to be president would take not responsibility for anything, but just whine and complain about the last administration.DeBunkem wrote:If Bush were presiding over this BP mess, (that began with Cheney deregulation) he would cut taxes on the rich, start a war on Iran, and declare "Mission Accomplished!"

Where were all the race-baiting Right when Bushco started us down the road to spying on citizens, torturing,kidnapping, and killing for Oil? His ENRON deregulation tantrum led to the BP disaster, as well as the Massey coalmine deaths. Buckaroo BoneHead certainly did nothing about existing wells except load up the DMM with druggie bribe-grabbing nitwits.
Where were the Tea Baggers when Bush ran like the scuttling corporate toadie he is to fetch Wall Street's multi-trillion AIG gambling debt charges and loot the Treasury? Talk about Socialism on a galactic scale! Even the corporate news were calling it that, as well as Corporate Wlfare that dwarfs even the Johnson Great Society period. That was right before he was swept into the dungheap of history , so you're dang right Obama inherited all these messes from Bush. The GOP wrecks government as a PNAC tactic. Then they stand in the ruins that they made and say "see? Guvmint don't work!" In addition they obstruct or water down any attempt by decent Dems to clean up the wreck. And how many decades did the Right keep blaming Clinton for everything? Payback is a bear, ain't it?

No no no no no. The BP disaster was caused by a spontaeneous explosion and is niether the fault of Bush or Obama. However, it is Obama's fault that the clean up has not been as swift as it could have. And regulating companies and industries WILL NOT make them more efficient or productive or safe.

It's both hilarious and depressing to see that a poster with a quotation from the incomparable Voltaire in his signature is nothing more than a patsy for the Religious Right.

If you're referring to WinePusher, I've found him to be an honest, honorable debater, even if he may be in error, and see no need or reason to conclude he's just a 'patsy'.
It could well be he just happens to agree with an ideology you (and I) oppose, but to call him a 'patsy' is to grossly "misunderestimate" his mental acumen.
But the irony, that's a whole 'nother deal.

Re: GULF OIL SPILL: A Sign of the end? Or Political Mess?
Post #29Comments like this are not only ridiculous, they suggest the poster is incapable of being objective. Granting there is some amount of subjectivity in such rhetoric, several of these adjectives are really indefensible by any reasonable arguments. To say Obama is "liberty despising" or "anti-American" is to suggest motives on his part that are nowhere in evidence.WinePusher wrote:Compared to this liberty despising, socialist, marxist, Islamic extremist sympathizer, promise breaking, foul mouthed, anti-american president, Bush is an angel.DeBunkem wrote:They "voted" George Bush in twice, a demented mental midget next to Obama.
To suggest he is marxist, or even socialist, is to bend those terms beyond any reasonable definitions of the word.
Yes, the tea party and the GOP nominate people who stand up for small government, and mean what they say and say what they mean. Apparently the nation of Islam and the democrat party wanted a terrorist associating president, tells us much about where they alligences lie.DeBunkem wrote:You just have to look at Bush and Sarah Palin to get an idea of what the Tea Party, I mean GOP, thinks are worthy candidates.
Again, more ridiculous rhetoric. If Obama is a "terrorist associating President" than Bush is even more so and so is McCain. So was Reagan.

Immoral would be bailing out corporations after they stole and lost grandma's money which was what Bush left us with.

If Obama did respond sooner you would be complaining he is interfering with Corporations (they would call it freedoms).
Bush left this country bankrupt and I figure it was to make sure there wasn't enough money left to let what Obama was elected to do.
