*Looney Left: Where's The Hurricanes?*

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But what happened with the Global Warming Hurricane Machine, that was so talked about last year?
2. We haven't seen a Hurricane this year, just some depression, are you depressed now?
3. Al Gore the Hurricane Cheer Leader sure has been quite, and he was so ready to get on his Hurricane Soap Box, if we even saw one Hurricane before now.
4. Seems the Democrats can't get Mother Nature to go along with them, and rip up some American Soil.

Well more fool them for trying to make themselves look better by scaring the nation about hurricanes.. :)

4. Will Florida be left standing after Ernesto hits it?
5. Will Al Gore make a statement?
6. Will Jimmy Carter make a statement?
7. Will Al and Jimmy take their road show on the road, buying a helicopter to fly over Hurricanes and throw political rants in its eye?

I love how liberals like to bitch out the republicans for creating fear when liberals do the exact same thing. Global warming is happening, not very many scientists dispute that. Disagreements come in when you start talking about the cause of it.

2. This year has been even hotter here in Texas, and *Zero Hurricane's.
You do know that hurricanes form in the ocean and not in Texas right?

Global warming won't really affect how many hurricanes we have, but it will enhance their strength.

[ECW]

Bobbylien is right.

It's changes in the Gulf Stream that effects the frequency and intensity of hurricanes more than anything else, Chess. Spend a day watching the Weather Channel instead of getting your weather information from Rush or the RNC website. You could learn a lot.

[wonder cow]

Hurricanes, a partisan issue.

Yes folkels, our views of the weather should be influenced by our political ideas.

Let me state firmly and unequivocally, that I am firmly in the anti-hurricane camp.

I'm 100% opposed to hurricanes, tornados, and other sundry windy storms.

These storms run again our 'Merican' values.

Praise the Lord and Amen.

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. Last year we had something like 30 hurricanes.
2. This year zero.
3. Wow, that's a be difference.
4. Can Al Gore Explain that to me?
5. Did we skip a year or something?
6. Wheres Al Gore to show us the way for survival of all this heat, and hurricanes???

[sbannon]

Chess, you do realize that weather and the effects of global warming are... in fact global right?

There have been plenty of heavy storms, hurricanes, typhoons and super typhoons around the world this year. Just because the U.S. has been lucky this season that doesn't indicate anything at all.

Check for yourself (http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/index.html)

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But the radiant heat is global right?
2. Last year all that radiant heat was stirring up the Atlantic Ocean, and spinning hurricanes at USA once a week.

[cs0564]

Hey it is what it is! Basically the Democrats have control of the Congress and can pass all the bills they want, but if the President wishes to he can Veto. The President on the other hand want's certain legislation passed and will want to shore up his approval rating prior to leaving office. If they can do as President Bush said and find middle ground then both parties can get some good legislation passed that will benefit the Greatest Nation on this Earth!

Politics are Grand. Where else but the Good Ole USA can you chang parties without a coup! Another reason why Americans alwasy find the Middle ground!

Let me get this straight, chess. It's all still new. So now the president that has only used his veto to stop stem cell research is now going to veto all that the congress now sends him......after signing all those pork filled bills with no veto?

Man, I got to make sure there is room on my TIVO to record that AND his reason for vetoing the bill, so I can play it over and over!

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But President Bush will not likely *VETO* everything.

1. But President Bush will not likely *VETO* everything.

Well, I'm glad to see that you've changed it from everything the congress and senate want, to not likely veto everything. My statement still stands however. If Bush starts vetoing everything the Democrats propose, then sorry chess......it's going to look like he can't play well with others, it's also going to hurt the Republicans that look like they don't want what's best for America. I really don't think you want that for your party or president, do you?


2. Just all that gay crap that the Liberals try to pass, and a few other matters.

Man....those gays have you running scared, don't they? You do realize that this is a state matter and has to be done state by state before it even hits congress, don't you?

They spew so much hot air on their shows that shutting them up could refreeze the entire arctic regions so the ice bergs dont melt.

I recognized the joke Newscaster, but also understand the desire of the left to silence dissent. There have already been people on this forum talking about silencing the right wing radio hosts with the fairness doctrine, so you will have to understand from whence my commentary comes.

I am not one bit grumpy about the election. I am pretty sure that once the left starts trying to focus on things other than Iraq, America will realize what it did to itself and I will have plenty of talking points to post. :)

[Newscaster]

Boogey, you will then probably have to wait a considerable amount of time. The Iraq mess will not be cleared up in two weeks. Its going to take a long time. Plus, consider this........other than Iraq, the admin has accomplished very little and what it did accomplish will have to be undone or completed or reinstalled.. And lets face it.....there is going to be a heck of a lot of investigating going on about a whole host or problems and scandals. And the Democrats have had to wait six years to have a voice.

[Newscaster]

Yes I am optimistic but not just because I am a Democrat. All one has to do is study why the last election came out as it did, with untoild numbers of Republicans crossing the line to the blue side asnd you can then maybe understand. It does take a rocket scoentist to understand that they were totally disillusioned by their own elected leaders and the decisions thy made and the statements they uttered. And th number of individual member scandals was far too much to take any more. And to get back to the original idea of this thread, their total total disregard of the problem of global warming. You know stwardship of this planet is not a political issue but they made it one and if you love this planet and want to see it prosper, it doesnt matter if you are Republican or Democrat.......there are certainthings that must be done and if the group in power now won't do it, you find another group that will.

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But Rush isn't going off the air.
2. His audience won't like it if he's forced off the air, ie. *Fairness Doctrine* being proposed to put to silence Real American Patriots.
3. I know you were telling a joke, but also you were making a point.
4. And your point is, your worried.
5. Worried the Liberal Medias house of cards will really collapse in on itself soon.
6. And those who you left manning their posts will all be out of a job.
7. Which is what we are seeing more and more each and every day.
8.Guess what, Kerry and Ketchup lady are about to write a book, on global warming, hehehehehehe,.........
9. I don't know how Al Gore will take that, seeing he's the Global Warming expert, hehehehehehehe,...........

One day Chess, investigate the entire field of broadast journalism. Then maybe you will understand the situastion involving Rush, Hannity and the rest. IUt has nothing to do with whether real patriots or fake patriots like him or hate him. Its ratings plain and simple. If he gets the audience, then advertisers get that same audience and if they like the number, rush stays but if he loses his audience....bye bye rush. And the Drug scandal plus the Michael J Fox Debacle did not help him one bit. But we dont have to force him off the air. We just stop listening and when the ratings tank, he tanks.

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But Rush has a huge audience, growing all the time.
2. He is attacked at every turn.
3. This means he's doing something right.
4. Its great to know just how much power one man can have.
5. Rush is perhaps the most powerful person outside of government, besides myself.
6. More powerful than any one person in the liberal media.
7. Its nice to have him as one of the Good Guys.
8. He isn't likely, to tank anytime soon.
9. He is almost as powerful as myself, we are two of a kind.

Cheers!

[Newscaster]

Chess. your comment about the growth of Rush's audience is proof positive you know nothing about the broadcast journalism industry. Rush's ratings are dropping. The drugs and Michael J Fox have caused that to happen, plus the appearance of liberal talk shows and the awakening of the American public. Rush is just a pompous loud mouth who depends on GOP talking points to supply him with things to say. Add to that the animosity against Sean Hannity that is growing and of course against Coulter and Savage, and if you have 20-20 vision, you will see the shadow they cast in the past is growing smaller. Since you claim to be so gosh darn brilliant and important and strong, I think that maybe you are man enough to take my advice and do some open minded investigation.
As far as rough men allowing us to sleep safely at night....I dont know where that quote comes from but I am not impressed. Its the men with brains who devise the means to protect us who allow us to sleep at night and that includes the civilian thinkers and the soldiers. I would never trust my safety and that of my family, just to a bynch of rough men. And I served in the armed forces long enough to know what I am talking about.

So is it fair to say that was a bunch of crap then CWN? Just admit it if you don't have any sources for that.

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

2. Don't be silly.
3. He will continue to out do any broadcast media.
4. Growing and growing.
5. Its funny to watch Air America crash and burn, and Newscaster says the liberal radio media is taking over Rush and the others.
6. Dream on bud.
7. Hannity has a huge audience as well, and Levine.
8. Your desperation is hard to hide Newscaster.
9. Bobby, wait when it comes out, its not ready yet, it will be huge, hold onto your seat bud.

[Newscaster]

Oh Chess, your desparation is so evident. Of course Rush is far from done but his ratings are down and the kind of financial problems facing Air America will lead to reorganization, not a full shut down. Thats what happens in business. Bankruptcy does not have to mean total destruction. Hannity is becoming non-essential. Slowly but surely, the numbers show Ed Shultz is cutting into his listeners with a sharp knife. So is Randi Rhodes and Al Franken. Bill O'Reilly is slowly becoming a joke.
Chess, I am not desparate in the least. Actually, I am quite amused at the way the hard right is reacting to the last election. I think we are in for a period of great soul searching by Republicans who are trying to figure out how and why they screwed up so badly. Heck, even Bush may come to realize that fact soon.

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. No, I disagree, Rush is gathering momentum.
2. Who knows he may even take the Presidency.
3. Just to make his mark on America.
4. He doesn't need the money folks.
5. That is usually why people run for high office.
6. Just to serve.
7. He could win if he ran, there's no doubt.
8. Oh and yes you are desperate, to see some sliver of a diminishment of the Radio Rights demise.
9. Its killing the Liberal Medias death grip on the mass media.
10. And we all know it.
11. Those days are gone, where they could pump America full of "Their Story Line".
12. Long gone, and kiss its a$$ goodbye, DONE!

2. Its a free country.

My question about the report cards still stands.Â*If you are reading intent to deceive into my sig line you have completely lost the debate, will you belittle my punctuation next?Â*Â*How about spelling?
What debate?Â*Â*I wasn't participating in this thread until another poster brought up your sig.

Are you saying that the quotes you put in your sig have no political intent to them?Â*Â*If that's the case, then I'm off-base.Â*Â*I think everyone here knows that's not the case.


The quote is generally attributed to Orwell and when it is proven to not have been stated by him, I will gladly re-attribute it in my sig line.

It's generally attributed to Orwell by those ignorant of the fact that it's forged.

Explain to me how I prove something was NOT said by someone.Â*Â*That's proving a negative and is impossible.Â*Â*The burden of proof is on you to prove that it is a quote.

Why not just quote the sentence before and after this quote from the document it came from?Â*Â*That'd should be trivial if this is a real quote.

compare this:

Now, when you are ready to grow up and join the debate at hand and cease this personal vendetta you seem to be engaged in I would love to continue a discussion ON TOPIC!

to this:
I have been civil and my arguments cogent throughout your attempts to belittle me.

Yeah, you're nothing but civil, Boogy.:rolleyes:

Get a mirror, my friend.

Grown-ups can admit when they make mistakes.

You guys are involved in a totally pointless debate. It really doesnt matter who did or did not utter the alleged quote. Look at what the quote is believed to be saying and see if it makes sense. Even if it was George Orwell, he lived in a time period that was quite different from today. What he may have said then, is not necessarily what he might say today and since there is no way of asking him, I'd forget about it.

Pirate, I am using a quote whose sentiments I happen to appreciate and understand.
It's also false.Â*Â*I think that's important.Â*Â*It's unfortunate that you don't.


Â*Â*You seem to put a great deal of weight behind your assessment of the validity of it and your assumption that I am using it with the intent to mislead.
Show me where I said you intend to mislead.

pirate, on the topic, or offline as private messages. You choose, this is my final comment on this and yours as well.

I respectfully disagree.

Anyone who's read Orwell knows that his political opinions were decidedly different from the content of Boogy's false quote.Â*Â*If I put up a quote from Barry Goldwater in which he states support for high taxes, you don't think people like Boogy would jump all over me, assuming it was false?

Boogy, most likely without knowing, tried to co-op one of the most anti-rightwing authors of the 20th century to his cause.

What's unfortunate is that, shown his error, shown the truth, Boogy still chooses to be on the same side of the argument.Â*Â*That seems to be a common trait of conservative today.

Again, I think truth matters here.

Sorry bout that,

1. Get over it, this topic isn't about what some other dude said, its what I said.

The point would be settled if Boogy could find where in Orwell's writings that the quote came from. Online sources for quotes aren't always correct, as I discovered in a quote thread I started on another board. Sourcing it to original writings would be the answer...

I don't think it is accurate, as my brief Google search bears out. One for the piratemonkey.
