Is Republican ignorance truly bliss?

Question

Why can't any of these steadfast Republicans see through all the smoke and mirrors of this administration?
911-they knew it was coming but wouldn't/couldn't stop it.
Started a war under false pretenses.WMD my ****.
Take the fight to them so we dont have to fight here.Who exactly is them?The Iraqi's?NOT !
How about the Taliban in Afghanistan.Lets get out of Iraq and go after the real "bad guys"..Bush Sr. put us in Saudi Arabia for the first gulf war and we never pulled all of our troops out.Thats what 9-11 was about (per Osama)not Iraq.
Took Dubya 4 days to get FRIGGIN WATER to New Orleans and visit the area.Corruption from the top down and the list goes on and on.
And the staunch Repubs just look the other way.
Why?
Its what you call blind faith.
I guess ignorance truly is bliss.
I only regret i don't have much more space to write the rest of
gaffes,blunders and lies. that is all
TTFN

Answer 1

I am an Independent but I support this administration. I am not ignorant. I look at things objectively unlike many liberals who focus only on the negative and perpetuate hate and division.

Answer 2

I'm a liberal but I say we have all (reps and dems) been wrong for different reasons. Current administration has sold unjustified paranoia to the world and has CHANGED the economy into one that benefits many and simultaneously hurts many. Those that do not get this should do a little more studying. The American way of life can not and will not ever benefit everybody. Just as there are only two elect-able parties there are only two justifiable positions. The haves and the have nots. If you are a member of the haves then it makes sense why you would stay the course considering this administration has done everything it can to benefit you. Tax cuts for the 6 figure earners and above is something I might want to support if i had been fed with a silver spoon. From the havenots position, I would fight you tooth and nail to pay my rent and be able to purchase food and clothing for my daughter.

Answer 3

Another one OK we'll go through this point for point seeing your ranting I'll give you some facts you have ignored.
1. The 9/11 plan started long before Bush even ran for a second term as Governor, why didn't that President do something?
2. Saddam violating UN resolutions is not a false pretense, if you looked online for the UN you would know that, Hummmm
3. Bush Sr didn't put us in the Middle East Reagan did for good cause, learn your history.
4. 9/11 was about money, nothing else.
5. It was the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana that failed its own citizens, Bush bailed them out and took the heat for them, heck that was all over the news, where were you?
6. Gaffes and blunders are yours my friend because you do not know how to research properly or at all, that's called being lazy, and your emotional which makes you dangerous.

Answer 4

9/11: don't be ridiculous. Had this been know they would have tried to stop it, and hopefully would have succeeded.

WMD: Intel from around the globe said they had them. If so, do you want an emboldened Saddam in control? Besides which, they well may have had them. Not finding them doesn't mean they weren't moved to a country sympathetic to the cause of defeating the US.

We are looking for the "bad guys" everywhere they roam.

Bush Sr. did a disservice to the Iraqi people when we did not go in to back them in their "overthrow" attempt.

New Orleans: In order to legally move federal men into the city the state of LA had to officially ask for it. Blanca refused to do so until after the country was decrying Bush. Hmmm, do you think she had a plan? Or Neggan (sp?) could have used NO's bus fleet to evacuate the city.

Answer 5

I'm also so fed up with all the ridiculous responses Rep's always come up with. They're blindly following their leader Bush and his evil VP Cheney, not to mention the %70 opposing Bush is not enough to make them understand that, what this guy is doing is wrong!!
I mean, how hard is it to see that, Bush invaded Iraq for oil and total domination of the region also providing sufficient support to Israel, disrupt the line between Iran and Syria, also stay near by Iran. Bush is an arrogant, ignorant fool, who was stupid enough to do, what he's done and murdered thousands of innocents people for the most wrongest cause. He will be remembered nothing less than Hitler.

Answer 6

Bliss is simply the believe that if we ignore the threats and concerns presently facing our nation, they'll just go away.

Ignore the fact the Saddam slaughtered thousands of his own people with chemical weapons. Ignore the fact that prior to the last inspection team's departure in 1999, they had located and destroyed 48 long range missiles, 30 chemical warheads, 40,000 chemical munitions and 690 tons of chemical agents. Ignore Saddam's dismal compliance with the UN resolutions. Ignore the fact that he put so many buildings and other locations off limits to the UN inspection teams. Ignore the threats and attacks against Americans all over the globe for the past 25 years.
If you can get proficient enough at ignoring these and other facts, you will truly be a student of blind faith - and your ignorance will indeed be blissful.

Answer 7

You call it ignorance...and yet you ignore the rest of the picture. You pick and choose what you want to follow and believe while I look past the distractions to the heart of the issue. you are making judgments on the information you get from the different types of media without looking deeper...do you really believe you have ALL of the information? or just what some ambulance chasing reporter digs up? You are making choices for Americans that are uninformed and biased. Are you safe? Have you had more than a few inconveniences in your daily life because of all of this? are you so narcissistic that you can't stand that someone from another country might not like you?
Here I am..I am an American...I am a part of the people who make up this Nation...Why can you not respect my rights as you do the rights of those who believe as you do? Why do you attack me and my beliefs? Why can you not see That people like me only want to keep you safe?

Answer 8

Don't think it's ignorance.I continue to believe they are in denial.
There are several defining characteristics that identify the possibility that a patient may be in denial. Some examples include pretending something does not exist when in reality it does. Being willing to admit there is a problem, but unwilling to see the severity of it. Seeing the problem as being caused by something or someone else. The behavior is not denied, but its cause is someone else's responsibility. Offering excuses, alibis, justifications, and other explanations for behavior. Dealing with the problem on a general level; avoiding personal and emotional awareness of the situations or conditions. Changing the subject to avoid threatening topics. Becoming angry and irritable when reference is made to the condition. These defining characteristics help to avoid the issue at hand (Whitfield, 1994).

Sounds very much like a typical Bush supporter to me

Answer 9

FOX looks like truth central when compared to MSNBC. FOX can dish out some propaganda but MSNBC shovels it in by the truck full. If you are informed tuned into MSNBC fir 5 minutes and the amount of white house propaganda is amazing.

Answer 10

Cite your source for the 9-11 comment.

WMD's were found, although they have not found very many. You can "google" it and find out.

Read the President's entire remarks.

Where was "Chocolate City" Nagin and the Govenor during all of this? Sitting on their butts doing nothing.
