Do you think there are consequences to incompetence and bad decisions?
So do I. And that is what America is experiencing right now. Disasters are bad enough whenever they happen. Incompetence only magnifies the sorrow and death. The same for the bad decision to invade Iraq. Many young Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis are dead because of that decision. And the arrogant, smirking, incompetent still sits in his seat of power. How can America be so stupid? How much more will we have to suffer? Although it's only been 5 years since the last leadership, it's difficult to remember the relative peace and prosperity that we had back then. Oh, if we could only return to those days of immorality and blowjobs....

3. Of course there should be consequences
but Junior has never in his life had to face the consequences of his miserable failure, and probably never will.

4. "Incompetence" is the new talking point of the RW. Social engineering
is the goal of this lot. They don't care who is destroyed. Same as communists. Utopians are a dangerous lot. I hope that is what is barred after we boot Bush out of office.

Utopian ideologues should be barred.

10. Didn't you know that the world will all work perfect when all regulations
are gone and corporations are only policed by how good or bad their marketing is? That externalities will take care of themselves?

They are market Utopians. And hypocrites. And government welfare Kings.

That hate the enlightenment. Everyone is to be responsible for only their narrow family unit.

Yup - they are Utopians. Not concerned with who dies because they are vulnerable. I guess once the weak die - then the world is a better place eh?

8. "Incompetence" is an inappropriate characterization for embezzlement,...
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 08:28 PM by Just Me
,...and fraud. This leadership is fundamentally embezzling taxpayer funds intended to benefit "the people" and this nation, funneling that money to corporacratic profiteers who are committing fraud via overcharging.

This leadership has committed fraud against "the people" and their respresentations by misrepresenting its intentions and misappropriating federal funds for personal benefit.

9. Yeah there are consequences
unfortunately the rest of us have to suffer the consequences for the stupid fuckin decisions made by this administration. The incompetent asswipes that made the decisons will eventually suffer the consequences but will that happen in time for the rest of us? I dunno.

12. I no longer believe that virtue is its own reward
Not after seeing so many wicked, malevolent people prosper so. If there is a God who asks us to be virtuous, why aren't the bounties of the earth opened to those who do good to others? Why isn't there manna? Why are mean, greedy people allowed to make life so goddam miserable for so many who only want to provide for their families?
