“IMHO, some people wanted him to win re-election so that you would have more to blame on the GOP in general.”

I don’t believe that; the Dems desperately wanted him unseated.

When I saw that pic of GWB at Ground zero with that megaphone a tear formed.
George wasn’t the best president. But after 9-11, he raised a country morale.
Happy Birthday Mr President....

“See you at the signin’!” GWB (Amnesty)

Never before had American citizens responded so negatively to an issue before congress as they did the 2007 amnesty push. Bush's response to them was to say "See you at the bill signin".

With all this praise "conservatives" are piling on him they apparently don't consider that to have been a big issue. I find it unforgivable.

The creep-in-charge ran a good campaign - and the media suppressed all that was manifestly evil about him. That does not absolve Americans who voted for him in 2012 knowing what a genuinely bad guy he was and is. They’re the ones who dragged us down into this pit.

Most Americans voted for W the second time did so because they wanted the “war on terror” completed by the same people who had begun it. It’s understandable. It was just so very expensive...sadly, I’ll be gone long before sensible histories are written about this.

“The world community said repeatedly, “Saddam will have a nuke in six (five four, three, sixmonths)”. EVERY intelligence agency said the same thing and the Dems Ok’d the invasion (as well as many of our allies).”

Not true at all; unlike the war in Afghanistan, we had few allies in Iraq (and those were mercenaries).

Dems OKed it out of political expediency, and many paid a price for that. Obama supporters used it against Clinton to great effect.

Remember Bush joking with journalists, looking under the podium for “weapons of mass destruction”? A lot of people died for that “joke”; Americans paid the smallest price...Iraqis still pay every day.

If the “Islamic slimeball hanged” is a reference to Saddam, then as someone who remember when he was our ally, I’d have to disagree. Iraq was a haven to Christians in the Middle East; they are now casualties of the fake war.

You leftist propagandist spewers are just sad.

Not to mention the start of massive illegal invasions,
TSA, Homeland Security and the Patriot Act as well as spending money like a drunken sailor and bailing out crony capitalists.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?

I am far to the right of W; nothing leftist here. I’d simply prefer he’d deal with the Muslim terrorists in the US.

He called Islam a reilion of peace. HE REALLY SAID THAT.

George W. Bush is a class act. We were truly blessed by God to have him as our President for eight difficult years.

How to Thank a Soldier

1. Look them in the eye and give them a firm handshake.


No one appreciates a firm handshake more than a soldier.


2. If they prefer not to shake hands . . .


. . . then a chest bump will do.


Just make sure you do your duckface afterward so they can laugh at you.


3. Admire their medals. They were hard-earned.


4. Always treat their families with great respect.


They have been through more than you could imagine.


5. Laugh with them!




6. Sometimes it’s important that you treat a soldier the way you would treat anyone else.


7. If you know a soldier, call them on the 4th of July.


It will make their day!


8. Or you can Skype them.


9. Each soldier has an amazing story.


10. Listen.


Listening is often the best gift you can give someone.


11. Give them a hug!


Soldiers love getting hugged because most of them are big softies deep down.


12. Do a sport with them.


Soldiers love being active.


13. Make sure you are respectful.


14. Cook them a big-ass dinner if you can. Lots of meat.


15. But if you only have a minute, look them square in the eye . . .


And say, “Thank you.”


We promise you they will appreciate it.


Happy 4th of July!

This thread hasn’t been so bad, but this forum has a huge number of anti-Bush posters.

They work for the cause of this world.
