What a piece of crap he is
Yes...somehow Trump is cutting close to the bone here....not sure which Sacred Cow is at risk of being revealed.....Bush is afraid of something coming out or of some threat to his family’s financial dynasty.
He is trying to get ahead of the curve
Family friends with the Hinckley family. HWB ran the CIA and allegedly worked with them for years prior to leading it.
When drug pilot Barry seal was being harassed by the IRS he did what he could to get the treatment to stop:
he presented to George HW Bush a video tape he had featuring young W and young Jeb showing up to a Florida hanger with a kilogram of cocaine, foolishly attempting some sort of business they conjured up in their silly heads.
it probably made a deep impression on the then vice president; later Barry seal was murdered.
some say it is likely that the perpetrators were the cartels he betrayed but there are those who say the murderers were not the cartels AT ALL.
I hadn't heard that, but considering that Bush Sr was VP at the time, it is not that surprising.
He wanted to build a "new America" but was stymied by 9/11.
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
Yes. I meant GHWB. Thank you for the correction.
The night before there was the attempt on Reagan’s life, the Bush family dined at the home of the Hinckley family.
no one contests this, although no one knows the details of the dinner conversation.
The two families were very good friends.
I stand corrected, all.
I meant to sat GHWB.
I haven’t had my Chai latte yet today!
Yeah, me too. I was six and riding my bike at RAF Lakenheath when my mom called me into the house. I think there are a lot of things the Bushes and Clintons conveniently dis-remember...
Let’s not forget how George W when referring to Bill Clinton said, “he’s my brother from another mother”. Going back to the Viet Nam era, George W got a special deal to join the Texas National Guard and thus avoided service in Nam. For 16 years (8 yrs as POTUS and 8 yrs with Obama) the RATS dumped all over this weasel and he never said a word in defense, now he takes pleasure in bashing the duly elected POTUS. Screw GWB and the whole Bush family.
I voted for the lesser of two candidates, GWB, twice.
I could not get behind him after his, “Islam is a religion of peace” statement. How shallow he is on Christianity to make such a stupid statement. Then, Laura came out after they were back in Texas saying she is not really prolife! That stunned me. A selective political family that hid a few big things under the rug, now out in the open.
I have NO respect for him with the latest bomb. He would take a knee on the field with the teams causing most of the problems we have going on. Putts!!!
Trump’s election was as much a rebuke to the Bush dynasty as it was to Obama.
For many of us, it wasn’t as infuriating when he sat idly by and didn’t defend his policies against attacks by his successors and own party...it was when he sat idly by and didn’t defend them while he was in office.
Legacy is in the mind of the person observing it. President Bush...in my mind...had a fairly good legacy. No longer, like many other of my past hero’s, he has fallen to a low. Amazing how Trump forces them out of the progressive closet, and into the open where we can see what they really are.
Meeting up with Ted Cruz, no doubt.
You express my sentiments, exactly.
I am ashamed to have held my nose and voted for either GHWB or GWB. They are truly pathetic.
PC Bush would never fight back against the Media, but now he fights against the President? He’s a DISGRACE.
