Fox Via Irish Central ^ | 2010-05-17 | Patrick Cooper

Former First Lady Laura Bush has come out against the Arizona immigration law, pointing to the discrimination that her own Irish ancestors, named Welch, faced in their time.

In an interview with Fox News, Bush said the new law merely showed an upsurge in prejudice similar to what her Irish ancestors faced.

They brought their NE mentality with’em.

Geez, just retire already.

Will all the lonely old maids who spend 8 years on FR cooing over this idiot woman’s latest outfit, hairdo, etc... now all have to return their “toasters”?

I don’t know what Ronald Reagan’s IQ was . . but he was an amazing communicator and a keen judge of character . . his Cabinet picks were impeccable.

Bush failed on both fronts . . look at some of the turkeys Bush appointed to important positions like Hank Paulson and Paul Bremer, Harriet Myers, Karen Hughes, Rumsfeld, etc.

Bush gave us Obama . . that’s all you really need to know.

I can’t wait....in about 4 years you will all be writing the SAME ‘oh so dissapointed” about Palin...

the hysterical crowd...” I love them!”...”No, I hate them now”...”Oh THIS is the one!”.....”NO, she’s an idiot.”

I just love to watch the vitriol now on a conservative lady...This thrashing beats anything the Daily Kos could do.

It might help if you ACTUALLY listened to the whole interview!ha...

They can't chase me off that easily. Besides, I'm not a troll and as long as I know that it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. Besides, I've been on FR before.

It's a shame, though, that disagreeing with the majority on Sarah Palin and whether or not she'd make a good president automatically gets the troll label slapped on.

I had a feeling about the Bush's but since he was the better of the other choices we had for President I never said much, but they were never truly conservative and more moderate than people think. And now with Laura coming out and sticking her foot in her mouth, people can finally see what others saw before. They were no where near the caliber of President Ronald Reagan.

It's been raining up here in Indiana the last couple of days. I hope you soaked in many rays today.

Cheers!

Hmm, Laura seems to think the pain of one's ancestors is more important than American sovereignty and the security of its citizens presently and in the future.

Boy, does that sound familiar or what?!

I can assume she and George have opened their property for illegals to gather?

Bull. The MSM and the stupid American Sheeple gave us Obama.
Read here for a while, you’ll learn the truth.

Trust me, when you’ve been a FReeper for more than a couple months you’ll learn what you’ve been spoon fed by the press.

Her husband is a liberal that ushered in the current regime, so why is it a surprise she is one too?

And dose it really matter what a former first lady has to say anyway?
I’m more concerned with the power hungry commie mommie we have now.

I liked her better when she didn’t voice her opinion on subjects of which she was not educated.

Laura Bush is a pro-choicer and legal marriage for gays. It makes me wonder about Bush.

Not only do I have Irish immigrant ancestors in my direct line, one poor little guy...came over as an indentured servant.

According to Laura Bush that means you should dislike enforcement of our immigration laws and be in favor of merging the U.S. into Latin America.

To: Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears

Depends which issue you’re talking about, but my point is that the Left has used Bush Derangement Syndrome to their benefit, most notably in 2008, and when we think it’s OK to bash him just because he’s no longer the president, we are falling right into one of their traps. There’s no need for it. We are just aiding them. You have not been signed up here very long, but the Bush bashing did not start in earnest on this thread until after Obama was elected. It is still very much to our detriment to do this and helps the Democrats in their propagqnda war.

Thanks for acknowledging my IQ, although I am not quite in the genius range.
