Didn’t MoDo make this very point today. Mmm. The White House fax machine (or it’s e-mail equivalent) was busy during the wee hours.

I have admired and supported President Bush since the day he announced his candidacy.
If he comes out in support of obama, I will no longer...

Asking them to fight? Who has been killing thousands of Iraqis with suicide bombers? The Iraqis have a dog in this fight. They are doing it out their own self-interest not because the US is asking them to. We liberated them.

G Dubya may have been a bit wobbly on social issues but when it come to the WOT he was rock solid. Slim chance he caves in to the mosquevites.

RE :”There's a new argument emerging among supporters of the Ground Zero mosque. Distressed by President Obama’s waffling on the issue, they're calling on former President George W. Bush to announce his support for the project, because in this case Bush understands better than Obama the connection between the war on terror and the larger question of America's relationship with Islam. It's an extraordinary change of position for commentators who long argued that Bush had done grievous harm to America's image in the Muslim world and that Obama represented a fresh start for the United States. Nevertheless, they are now seeing a different side of the former president.

At least there is one thing we can thank Bush for, staying quiet since he is out of office. If he was on TV or writing his opinions it would only help democrats, as with 2006-2008. His hiding has made democrats job more difficult, I saw a commentator on MSNBC actually admit that.

Your brand of stupidity will get us all killed

To recognize an existential threat posed by the murderous, expansionist ideology that is Islam is not stupid, Mr. Chamberlain.

And don’t think for one moment that George the super RINO, who spent 8 years allowing the left to verbally destroy him and the republican party without response...don’t think he won’t be STUPID enough to do exactly as the left wishes. After all, his brilliant father actually broke his no new taxes pledge, depending on democrats to honor their promise to lower government spending!!! Republicans are currently in position to reclaim both the house and senate. Don’t for one moment believe they won’t do everything in their power to screw it up.

People in this country need to finally realize that Islam is not compatible with our way of life.

All groups need to have their constitutional rights protected under our laws, but much can still be done through societal pressure. Allowing a Mosque to be built at Ground Zero is akin to allowing the KKK to build on top of the remains of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

It may be “legal”, but it should not be condoned or allowed by a moral society. Islam is worse than the ideology of the KKK, and that fact needs to be repeated over and over again until people shun this ideology the way we shun the Klan.

Individual Muslims can be, and many are, peace-loving. They are this way IN SPITE of their religion, not BECAUSE of it. The ideology of Islam is a cancer that should be fought and defeated. Not by murdering innocent Muslims, but by jailing or killing guilty Muslims and not allowing their grotesque ideology to invade our society.

Visit a strict Muslim country someday. Do you want to live in that type of world? If you don’t, you better stand up and make yourself heard now. Our enemies have learned all too well how to use our freedoms against us.

Calling Islam what it is, isn’t bigotry, it’s Truth. People today have been so brainwashed that everything is “equal”, and that we shouldn’t “judge”, that they can’t recognize and resist Evil anymore.

Wow. This sounds to me like George W. Bush is still seen as the ‘real’ President still.

Kinda reminds me of situations when parents are away and leave the oldest teenager in charge. When THEIR ‘say’ is disputed, it’s ‘time to call Dad’.

This is interesting.

If Bush has anything to say I'm afraid that it will be in support of the mosque. After all, islam is the 'religion of peace' right?

Bush created the islamophobic PC atmosphere that exists in this country today...the pervasive fear to say anything even mildly critical about islam lest you show yourself anti-muslim (egads), started with him.

Now even DumBO’s inane utterings are Bush’s fault.
