Bush Earned Our Hate

He said he was "a uniter, not a divider," which was clearly phony, as events have shown. Americans are about as divided now as they were during the Civil War...

Bill Clinton and the DNC under Terry McAuliffe did more to divide this nation in the later half of the 20th century than anyone else. They played races and classes off one another. They used envy to motivate the base.

The "antiwarmovement" is financed by communists and socialist-anarchists; I don't give a damn what they think of President Bush. They oppose our constitional form of government anyway and would like to see changes to our system to eventually overthrow the constition.

The housewives and college students who marched with them are Red Dupes (Stalin's useful idiots). If they didn't notice the blackshirts and Circle-A anarchist flags, if they didn't notice the Red stars, if they didn't notice the pictures of Uncle Joe Stalin, that's their own fool fault. Ever hear of a "peace" movement that supported the use suicide bombers as "using the only weapons they have (sob, boo hoo)"?

Call the opposition what it is.

*sigh* I love Pappy, too!

This lying liar claims that George W. Bush was a "Republican he could vote for" in early 2000. What do you suppose his take is on Governor Bush's stance on the death penalty in Texas?

I ain't buying that he liked Bush until he was elected.

In any case, this reader has written an essay titled "Why I Hate America." Because it reflects the despair many of us feel, I'd like to quote from it. (I've omitted the writer's name to protect him from retaliation.)

Like being audited by the IRS?

[weegee]

Bush, hell bent on both avenging Saddam's attempt on his father's life and proving he's a better man than his dad, gambled.

Think he had this same reaction to Bill Clinton launching missiles (without going to the UN) to avenge Saddam's attempt on former President Bush? Or was that a sign of the "great communicator's" bipartisanship; showing that he held no ill will to his former competition?

If you ask these libs to look deep, they probably still hate their parents.

"Theft for the arts is still theft for the arts irrespective of the amount. Not to mention unconstitutional btw. Seen in that light, its pretty "expensively" cheap."

Oh, please. In the scope of our national budget the proposed arts appropriation is miniscule. Moreover, the emphasis will be on classic art, not the offensive shock "art" of the past couple of decades. Now, you may prefer to have deginerates like the Maplethorpe crowd stand as repesentative of our culture at the begining of this century but I do not. My idea of art isn't a bunch of no talent sleezes like Christina Aguilar, Madonna, P.Diddy, R.Kelly, Nelli or dozens of others who are seemingly unable to speak in more than monosylables such as "Yo" and "Ho". Yet they skip around on stage, weighted down with gaudy "bling", grabbing their privates every 2 seconds and the popular view is that sort of trash is talent. It we do not actively counter that then history will record it as reflective of all our citizens, that means you, too.

[weegee]

It's a good thing that he found a job writing rants like this.

If he had to vent for free at Democratic Underground he'd be banned for suggesting that he almost liked candidate Bush once in 2000.

[KantianBurke]

My point regarding "expense" was not indicative of the amount of Bush's gift to make Laura look busy was. Rather it was to point out that f%^&* up the Constitution was pretty "expensive" a cost for little if any gain.

Also its not the Federal government's job to compete with P Diddy. Sorry.

Acting dumb is Bush's style

The extreme skill with which he carries this off is worthy of much admiration.

When that surplus vanished, Bush cut taxes anyway and sent "refund" checks out with borrowed money. And the big beneficiaries were people in Bush's circle: the rich and the very rich.

What we have here is someone who can't admit what caused the "surplus" to vanish. It was not government restraint that created the surplus, it was raising taxes and cutting national defense. Not Bush but the guy before Bush. It was a recession that took the surplus away and Bush applied stimulation to limit the time the country was in recession. He gets high marks for this. Maintaining the high government spending, and even increasing it has its pros and cons. The pro is that the defense budget was not left out. The con is that Bush continued social spending as well. Maybe this too was anti recessionary.

First place, clinton did not leave a budget surplus, it was creative accounting.

Second, they are more rich democrats than rich Republicans, anyway, if you do not want your tax cut, give it back.

Third, if you like killing [abortion] so good, why don't you abort yourself?

Fifth, just wait until after the rapture then you will be rid of those pesky Christians.

Sixth, you are just upset because President is fighting and killing your terrorists buddies over there instead of letting them come over here and blow up school busses like they are doing in Israel.

What destain for environmental protection has President Bush shown? The so-called environmentalists have one and one goal only; the total and complete destruction of the industrail capacity of the United States.

Do you own a automobile? Ride in an automobile? Fly in a airplane? Do you live in a house? Ues electrical appliances including computers and typewriters? Live or work in a building that has electricity or air conditioning? Breathe? Void body waste?

If you do any of the above you are a polluter also and have a total distain for environmental protection. This is the same thing you are accusing President Bush of.

This either. by your own mouth, makes you a liar or hypocrit.

Which is it?

[weegee]

What are the arts but "culture"...

Whether some want to admit it or not we are in a "culture war". Some of the offensive works funded by the NEA fall into the leftists' pro-homosexuality, antireligion agenda.

That the government actually sanctions this work instead of letting private enterprise finance it or even letting them be prosecuted for obscenity advances the ball for the left.

Now what does it cost (culturally as well as financially)?

[gitmo]

Bush doesn't act dumb. Bigots believe Southerners are dumb. Bush is Southern. They think he's acting dumb. It is the author's bigotry that caused him to be caught with his pants down.

[weegee]

Not only that but it shows that the concept of public domain works is constitutional (in fact the 100 year copyrights would not be; which author lives over 100 years after creating a work?)

To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries"

Disney Inc. got the government they paid for.

[weegee]

So we should pay for it and then hide it in a closet?

Maplethorpe, Karen Finlay, and others in the NEA bruhaha were already famous when they got their grants.

Let the private sector fund their trash. Do you have a problem with holding the artists who "create" on the public dime accountable to that same public?

If these freeloaders weren't getting NEA grants, it would have put that much more money out there (from the limited funds) for other arts programs.

[sport]

No. bigger.

[weegee]

Few of us could have visited the White House and seen Hillary's Christmas tree decorated with condoms and syringes but that still doesn't mean that we shouldn't know what is on exhibit in America's White House.

And because of the place of honor that holds I don't care if the tree was paid for with public or private funds.

[billbears]

That's okay. I didn't catch it and I should have known better. Sorry.

The best presidents are the most hated presidents, by wackos on both sides by the way.
