"Every fact in my films is true. And yet how often do I have to read over and over again about supposed falsehoods? The opinions in the film are mine. They may not be true, but I think they are."



– Michael Moore in Time magazine interview, May 28, 2007

He THINKS they are, LOL

The man is an ugly, vile and ignorant man. Most of the people who follow him, have the same scowl on their faces and make the same sort of insane comments. His latest one trying to put some sort of coincidence with the arrival of Gustav with the Republican Convention should prove to the world how truly sick and evil this ugly bastard really is. I mean, if God has sent Gustav to screw up the Gulf Coast because of the Republican Convention... a person who thinks as this Moore character (he doesn't deserve the respect of Mr.) could argue... that God, used Katrina to as Political Population Control as Louisiana is predominately Demorcrat. He is an idiot and one day he is going to start wagging his 15 ft tongue and get on the wrong side of a East Texas Redneck.

I witnessed, first hand, the evacuee's of Katrina. I saw the desperation, the panic, the hopelessness. I sat in my car and cried as I saw miles and miles of school buses pass me on the Highway, full of people who had lost everything being shuttled into a big City where they know one. I watched little kids trying to comfort their parents and spent many days in the Dallas Convention Center trying to help what seemed to be a never ending sea of evacuee's who stepped off those buses with nothing more than the clothes on their backs, some without shoes and many without much identification. I heard their cries, I saw their devastation and total bewilderment. I didn't see Democrat's or Republican's... I saw American's who a few days before were just like me and my family. Do I think God was punishing New Or

Drive-Bys Hoping Gustav Hits New Orleans

RUSH: By the way, you know the Drive-Bys -- and this is sad to say -- but these Drive-Bys are just dying. They can't wait for this Hurricane Gustav to hit wherever it's going to hit in Louisiana. It's almost sick to see them out there. "Really, this is so unbelievable! This is happening three years after Katrina! It may hit again! Yaaaaay!"

Sorry, I don't mean to cheer. But they want this Hurricane to illustrate the incompetence of Republicans again, that's going to backfire on them with Governor Jindal down there running things, already. If you put a conservative Republican in charge of a state rather a couple liberal Democrats like Nagin and Blanco, you're going to see the difference if this happens. But while Drive-Bys and the Democrats are keeping a sharp eye out on Hurricane Gustav, category three; Hurricane Sarah struck the Democrats and made landfall today as a category ten and global warming had nothing to do with it! And I would have loved for Senator McCain to say today, "All right, Governor Palin and I are hitting the campaign trail now. We think that Senator Obama should head to Louisiana and stop Hurricane Gustav."

"BTW, I'm sure Jindal will do a much better job that Blanco or Nagin if Gustav strikes NOLA (God forbid), how can you do worse? They did absolutely NOTHING"

Oh they did something. They blamed it on FEMA and the President. I certainly have my issues with Dubya but blaming him for the response to Katrina was kind of foolish. I had the privilage of attending a FEMA/State conference around 1993. Even then, they made it clear that New Orleans had invested literlly nothing into their preparation. Their point with that statement was to advise ALL cities that they were directly responsible for their preparations and safety. FEMA is typically a response unit. They stated that the Orleans Levee District, who were responsible for repair and upkeep, were underfunded. Translation, the city made budget cuts to that dept for other 'programs'.

"In my opinion, preparation is the key" ....Amen to that. With a hurricane, whether it's East Coast or Gulf Coast routed, you have several days warning and people of all races and political views should take the warnings seriously. Here in good ole Tornado Trail Texas, we are given a few hours notice of a good old fashioned tornado, they have radars now that can track it almost to the minute it will be visiting your neighborhood. Not too many places you can go in Texas with just a few hours notice,,,, that you aren't STILL in Texas and STILL in the Tornado pathway, so you just have to keep yourself prepared at home. From 1st grade on, Texas school children are drilled regularly with Tornado drills, just as they are drilled with fire drills. I have many relatives in Louisiana and know that when mandatory evacuations take place both sides of the highway are northbound only, you cannot go southbound and I promise you, my family and I would have already left the area and moved to higher ground... like Arkansas :)

Michael Moore is such an ass.

"Hopefully they learned a valuable lesson, cause it looks (at the present time) that they are going to suffer a right front quadrant hit from Gustav, and that is the strongest part of a hurricane"

This one could be far worse damage wise. Folks have to consider that Katrina's damage to New Orleans was a rain issue that overwhelmed a few weak levee spots. This time the water will be coming directly from the mash....major issue.

I was majoring in Meteorology for a while in Salisbury when that conference happened. They identified the Delmarva Peninsula as another potentially devestating area. Of course VA Beach and Manhatten where the other points of interest.

Isn't that funny Jimbo.. that is my favorite line in that recording too. I also enjoy the one about "what you need gas for b*tch, you from the tribe... put those big 15 feet on the pavement and run!"

I have been up this afternoon at the West Mesquite High School parking lot, it is about a mile and a half from my house. Mesquite will be processing the Louisiana evacuee's and then they will be bussed over to Dallas (12 miles away) to the Convention Center in Dallas where they will be placed until this thing is over. They will have beds, food and TV's to watch. We are still 400 volunteer's short, the news stations have scrolling broadcast messages asking for more volunteers by tomorrow AM. My husband and I will be working through the night, we are expecting the first wave of NOLA evacuee's by midnight. We are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, it would be great to see Labor Day start with a big ole false alarm with Gustav but we are hearing that he is intensifying by the hour.

A destiny has made us brothers, no one goes his way alone. All that we put into the lives of others, comes back into our own.....

Ya'll remember to say an extra prayer for our neighbors in Mississippi & Louisiana.

Happy Labor Day! It's a beautiful day in Texas but we know the rain clouds are coming later, compliments of Gustav. Jimbo we saw about 800 evacuee's overnight, I worked with the elderly and disabled, which arrived with national guard escorts. We also saw about 30 - 40 personal vehicles full of families who had come to the area... everyone had to be registered and then we assigned them out to various shelters in the metroplex, all in all there are about 18 shelters situated in and around Dallas, with the Convention Center being the largest one. It was very orderly and the people getting off those buses... some had been on the road 14 - 17 hours, were tired and hungry and concerned about their stuff back home but we tried to make it as comfortable for them as possible. Lots of faith based programs out there to help lend a comforting shoulder and some compassionate words with them. They are expecting 14 - 17 more buses this morning and about 20 this afternoon. We are still hoping that these people will have homes to return to, it doesn't appear that it has been as intense as Katrina but it hasn't really had the chance yet to show us his guns.
