Funny, I never made any accusation of the sort---but a troll like yourself never deals in what a really said----but in your usual flight of fantasy.


I really wonder if you have the capability of reading what is addressed to you. My posts have been pretty clear on the point, but somehow you seem to misunderstand plain English.

Either that or you are just purely ignorant.


Back to DU with you!

In NY (actually on Long Island) you had Shoreham (also a BWR)---which never even got to full power because of Richard Kessel and Mario Cuomo.


Five Billion down the tubes---and no juice to show for it!

I know. On Fox's "24" tonight, the terrorists made off with an override key to all of our nuclear power plants.

That damn overide key again. Man, the terrorists always figure out how to snatch that. You figure by now, the good guys would have run down to Ace hardware and had a duplicate made.

The simple fact that there is any type of leak at a facility like that should have folks worried.

The fact that a technical non-event gathers this kind of publicity should instead give you comfort. The levels of regulation and scrutiny theses facilities operate under is like no other industry.

Your chances of death or injury from any nuclear facility are infinitesimal compared to other industrial risks we take for granted. Recall the chlorine spill down south a few weeks ago? That's the kind of stuff you should worry about.

The systems are designed to contain minor leaks such as this; 75GPM is much less than a deep-well pump for agricultural use produced by a 2-3HP electric motor.

All such incidents are required to be reported and promulgated.

Fear is a fast-growth industry lately.

"You seem to have developed a persecution complex in seeing muslims being blamed for everything"

Like our good friends at CAIR.

I noticed this same phenomenon on the illegal threads. A few can find everything to criticize about Americans and the US, but overlook the corruption and avarice of the mexican govt. and arrogance of their people. We are the root of every problem. Nuts!

Hey Troll you are very quick to make false accusations, and I hope your chemistry is better than your math.

You just wroteYou religious bigots sure are quick - three minutes in this case - to accuse Islam of causing this nuke plant incident.

With no knowledge of what had occured, what was going on, the race was on to blame Muslims for this incident.

I don't know where you got the 3 minutes, but the Thread began at 12:35 AM, and the first posting that "blamed Islam" was at 9:02 AM. In my country, that's 8 hours and 27 minutes, and look who made the statement:

To: SierraWasp; broadsword

What part of Michigan and is Homer Simpson involved? Fermi II is on the Lake Erie coastline, north of Monroe, near the mouth of the Detroit River.

It's Islam's fault! /sarcasm

BACK TO THE UNDERGROUND DEMON TROLL!

You'll find that your type of anti-Muslim religious bigotry pollutes virtually every thread.

You whine about me "not being called on (fighting bigotry wherever I find it)"? Push the button! Act!

I took last weekend off from FR anyway - my doctor told me to do something about my blood pressure.

Trollus Geekus Michiganus:

You really need to get a clue---and a life.

YOU are the bigot---you have mangaged to slander every poster that has the SLIGHTEST disgreement with you.

You have misquoted posters, you have tried (without success) to twist the words of posters into some perverted game of "bigotry" against islam. Is this part of the plot to have FR shut down as a 'hate' site? You are in the wrong place for that, buddy---try going back to DU!

You have tried, again without success, to defame Judaism and Christianity with quotes form the bible that have long been ignored by the above faiths.


YOU have called other posters liars--without any proof whatsoever. You also lack the guts, I'll bet, to call others a liar to their face as well!

You have diminished any and all threads you have posted to by your above attacks and ill-conceived logic; NONE of which is remotely Conservative.

An for some reason, despite REAPEATED requests, you STILL have NOT CONDEMNED the actions of the islamofascist terrorists of September 11th 2001. Could it be that you just might be sympathetic to them?

In short--you act like the TROLL that you are.

I have a better bit of advice for your blood pressure---go back to DU and your like-minded friends!

Close enough for government work?

---where the hell do you get off accusing them of saying they said that islamofascists did it? If you are so thin-skinned--not to mention paranoid---you had best you doctor for something more than blood pressure meds. Valium might be better for what ails you.....

Stop cramming meanings into other poster's mouths.

He's been here for 5 yrs. He's not a troll.
And regarding bigotry toward muslims on this forum,

"There is not a single conservative of influence and responsiblitly ANYWHERE ... in politics, business or the media ... who would ever let themselves be associated with this kind of ugly stuff."

"Religious bigotry against Muslims is no more acceptable in the conservative movement or on a conservative web site, than anti-black racism or anti-Semitism. Your brand of trash talk has be specifically condemned by the President and every conservative publication and commentator."

" There is no place in the Conservative movement for bigots, anti-Semites and racists. Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Hispanics are not only welcome in the conservative movement, but they are to be sought out and encouraged to join our movement.

For precisely the same reason that William F. Buckley and the National Review drew a bright line between Conservatism and prejudice; the Free Republic, as one of the most visible torch bearers for today’s conservative movement, must take a stance against anti-Muslim bigotry on its pages.

If you are posting hateful and vicious anti-Muslim remarks then you are in direct opposition to the beliefs of William F. Buckley, Ronald Reagan, our president and virtually every conservative writer commentator and thinker of note and you are indirectly undermining our cause."

Some quotes from a few FReepers who are also sick of the muslim bigotry on FR.

Maybe you ought to go and read some of HIS posts.
I'm not going to be called a bigot---by him OR you.

THEN you can pass judgement--as for his being here 5 years....

So what?
