The left is mentally unhinged, but that doesn't mean they don't have a will to power. In fact, like most adolescents, they have a strong will to power coupled with a total lack of self control.

The left sole existence is to obtain power.

President Bush PROTECTED THIS COUNTRY. Could you do a better job?

Not all of us are family friends with the chief financier of Islamic extremism.

Some on here aren’t getting the BIG PICTURE. The SOCIOCRATS aka Democrats have everything and everyone in place in order to implement every Socialist policy imaginable within the first 100 days.

The Bush family drove the Reaganites out of the party. There's nobody to stand up for what's right anymore. And the people who still blindly support the Bushes are hurting any effort to recover and fix the GOP.

For the record, Osama is NO longer a Saudi Citizen...and Obama is already talking to Iran and the MUSLIM world so where are their pictures?

Get yourself a little more updated before posting pictures.... once again Osama has not been a citizen of Saudi Arabia in years...now do try again...and for the record there has not been another TERRORIST attack on AMERICAN soil since 911. THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH!!!

One question before I reply, do you like or support Newt?

Well, Bush has never been a conservative. We voted for him as the lesser evil. I knew he wasn’t a conservative when I voted for him. His dad wasn’t a conservative. This is why I wonder about the Bush loyalists. Fine, love W. He did some good things. But if you think he was a great president, at least come to grips with the fact that you are not a conservative. Then you can feel good about praying for the new president. Ask that God give him wisdom and his advisors not steer him in wrong directions. Not me, I hope he fails utterly on every front. His goal is to fulfill his pledge to escalate the war on the unborn immediately. Bush already nationalized the banks and stroked the unions for him, so he can get right to work on baby killing like a good communist.

So, continue praising and loving GWB, talk about how you’re gonna miss him, blah blah blah: BUT, remember this is a conservative forum, the Bush family is not conservative, and try not to browbeat the conservatives here for pointing out what to us is obvious truth. As America marches toward socialism, the New World Order Bush family will go down in history as a major facilitator of such.

PS Note I didn’t even have to mention illegal aliens to make my case.

How many of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis? Or that's right, they're dead, so they are no longer citizens either. /s

The point is the Saudis have been breeding extremists for decades, and the Bush family has been friends with them for a long time and still are. Maybe that's why W inexplicably said that the Islam is the religion of peace.

Now I see what inflames the RINOs. That one little phrase of yours “Unlike his New England snob parents”. You’re jealous of the people who came to this country in 1620, and your ancestors didn’t have to fight in the Revolution, so you feel left out. Well, now you have a president who doesn’t have a tie to New England. Enjoy!

How many weren't Saudis? Islamic Fascist Jihadists are not loyal to any ONE country,they are committed to their cause, ask our military if you question me. Get a grip on reality and understand this nation is under siege, but all you want to do is degrade and belittle President Bush.

Enough! I will not continue to enable you on my part.

There were many things Bush did that left me scratching my head. Things that appeared to me to appease the left.

However, the collective rabid hatred the man received day after day, month after month, year after year THAT STARTED IN THE WEE HOURS OF NOVEMBER 8th, 2000, was unwarranted.

And this is what worries me more than just about anything he did or did not do. This assault on Bush was not a knee-jerk reaction. This is the result of planned, Marxist, Soros financially backed actions and propaganda.

And their hatred is not going to end with Bush - it will continue with them foaming at the mouth at those of us who are conservative, Republicans, liberatarians, Christians, Orothodox Jews. Their ballsiness has already started with the changing of the rules in the Congress to virtually put duct tape on the mouths of Republicans.

For the country as a whole, the prospects are bleaker. The left is convinced that hatred works, that it's a perfect tactic, one that will work every time out. They have already started the process with Sarah Palin, their next target in their long row of hate figures.

The hate by the left will eventually also turn against the b[end] 0[ver] when he does not deliver on his promises. Hate for their own country, hate against anyone that does not agree with them, etc., will work to turn the tide against them.

A President is "hired" by the stockholder of the corporation of The United States of America. They are just like CEO's

Are you that STUPID or just plain IGNORANT? What a moronic statement.

Our founders gave us a government where power is divided not only between 3 branches but also between multiple levels of federal, state, county, and municipality. To say that a POTUS is like the CEO of a business is a comment I would expect from a warped leftist. The fact that misconceptions like this are so prevalent is very revealing. That's why we are losing (or have already lost) our country. Too many citizens are birdbrains. Did you attend public school and watch too much TV?

A president has very limited powers. Instead of me writing a book or 2, go do some research. Come back when you have a clue. Meanwhile maybe the limp wrists of the republican congressmen can be added to this discussion.

That's right, and W's friends, the Saudi Royals have been financing Islamic extremism in several countries.

Get a grip on reality and understand this nation is under siege, but all you want to do is degrade and belittle President Bush.

All I want to do is expose the truth about W and his family, especially to the true believers such as yourself.

I do not hate Bush. Like his father before him, he was a leader that was not conservative enough for me. I think the two of them damaged the Republican Party. I remember the first one for “Read my lips.” I remember the current one for his support of illegal aliens and for his support of the bailout. I remember both of them for sending American jobs out of the country. Our highways and rails are congested with shipping containers carrying products from China. If a product will not fit in a shipping container then illegal labor is allowed to cross the border to construct it (houses). Bush was at the top and could have told the INS to do their job or be fired. He swore, just as Obama will do, to uphold our laws. He lied under oath. I do not hate him but I do not respect him. For the first time in my life, I am not proud of my country.

No, he did have to stand jaw to jowl with the haters but he could/should have done more to defend his positions

No one stood with him. He stood in the arena alone taking all the blows that should have been deflected by the republicans in congress. He fought a war, he kept us safe, and still had to take the blows rained on him from behind as well as from in front.

HE didn't ruin the republican party, those feckless and disloyal republicans ruined it.

Excellent article. The hatred against President Bush by liberals and few on the right was devilish to say the least. This hatred has way bypassed all the norms of political disagreements with the President and became as closer as it gets to a bloodless coup d’etat against the President of the Republic. I am afraid that next time the treasonous left may call for a violent coup d’etat to remove a future President that they do not want.

It began during the 2000 campaign against Kerry and continued for eight years. Mr. Bush was personally attacked at every opportunity.

I used to pay attention to how long it would take liberal co-workers to begin the ad hominem attacks on Bush for anything and everything (even his daughter's choices of college). It averaged about three sentences before they advised that it was "all Bush's fault." The hatred - by some - was unnerving. Others seemed to just parrot the Starbuck's, NYU, MSNBC, Catie Courec talking points. It was easier than listening, thinking, and developing an opinion.

Personally, I lost my enthusiasm to defend Mr. Bush with the illegal alien issue. The President is charged with upholding the law. If he does not like a law, he is to take actions to change it, not ignore it. (Unless, of course, it is the law requiring me to give so much of what I earn to the government as taxes. I would not mind that one being ignored.) Bush refused to enforce the immigration laws, and lost my respect and trust.

The media is masterful at defining people, they defined the Bush administration as incompetent, evil etc. The MSM will continue to praise Obamba until the Daily Kos crew get tired of him.

The Founding Fathers never imagined this.

An excellent article. President Bush is a principled man unaffected (and uninfluenced) by popuylairyt contest. The derision and hatred he received speaks to those who did it, not to the man. The press in general should be ashamed of itself, with few exceptions. The New York Times, whose publication of matters on National importance and security, was and is downright treasonous. If they can’t or won’t prosecute them then I hope they wither and die off, even with ‘what’s his names bailout.’

I’m glad I have no reason to visit New York, or I would certainly be arrested for throwing rocks at the Times front window. Traitorous bat turds.
