I recall there were people on this site demanding others be banned for speaking out against Bush. They were very cliquish groups of people who attempted to wolf pack others for speaking out against Bush. They called themselves, "Conservatives".

Former President George W. Bush appears to have discovered a new pastime: virtue-signaling.
On Thursday, the 43rd president piously delivered a full beat down on President Trump and the populist and economic nationalist movement that elected him.
Bush even traveled from Dallas to New York City to deliver it—just to make sure that nobody in Manhattan missed his message, which basically amounted to: I’m a good guy, unlike you-know-who. So look: I just dumped on Donald Trump! Please like me now, finally!
Yes, this is the same Bush who kept silent during the Obama years. But now that a Republican is in office, Dubya has found his voice.
In fact, 43’s quest for a post-presidential-image rehab is starting to resemble that of another failed-president-turned-full-time-virtue-signaler, Jimmy Carter.
Back in 1980, the 39th president lost the White House to Ronald Reagan in a massive landslide, and yet for the better part of four decades now, Carter has been taking potshots at his Republican successors, and the media have loved every minute of it.
For the sake of brevity, I’ll leave aside the horror that was Bush’s foreign policy, other than to say that his shortsighted hubristic foreign adventures cost America and our allies dearly in blood and treasure. The fallout will be felt for generations. But I’ll leave the chronicle of those tragedies for another day.
For now, I’ll confine myself to a few of Dubya’s domestic policy disasters. I had no trouble coming up with five off the top of my head. Please note that this is not in any way an exhaustive list of Bush Fails (as if such a list were possible).

Also none from the 1930s at all; is there another decade in which that happened.
Oh, Carter and GHWB, both 1924.
So who should have been the next...???
Why would anyone go listen to this guy speak? Maybe if you were a real enthusiastic progressive lib you would go hear Bernie Sanders or Al Sharpton or any of a bunch of others.
Why would you go listen to speech by this guy? I just don’t get it.
Anyone who wouldn’t have landed us in the soup with the bank bailout.
The tradition of past presidents quietly living out their lives in solitude and peace should be codified in law on pain of death if they break it.
1946 = first year of the Baby Boomer generation.
Dubya is one degree of separation from his sycophant brother Yeb.

I did, too, during his whole Presidency. I'm so disappointed to find he's just as small-minded, petty, and vindictive as that idiot Jimmah Carter.
Actually that’s not a bad looking guy.
.
The Silent Generation produced none. My parents came from it.
dark times.
Mears - Commenting on good looking guys! I am shocked!
Why would you have thought that after he covered up for the Sauds, had pages of a report implicating the Sauds removed, invaded Iraq, which had zero of the 20 something terrorists aboard the planes, said he and Bill were brothers from another mother?
Ah, I thought he was a good hearted dimwit too until only several years ago when i realized he was a no good POS new world order anti American traitor.
Ya well, ya know what they say about opinions.
My wake-up call on Bush was when he said” See ya at the signin’” about the McCain/Kennedy amnesty attempt.
They tried again before they jammed the author of those TWO amnesty attempts down our throats as nominee in 2008.
After that I knew that the driving force of the GOPe was the Cheap Labor Express.
NOTHING is more important to them than keeping US from enforcing the laws on fraudulently documented foreigners.
They do not want us reversing the 30 year bipartisan policy of changing the demographics of the country.
“A year that produced three Presidents.”
Wrong! One Stellar President, One Feckless Globalist Turd, and One Guy with a Perpetual Erection ( who brought us his Harridan Wife).
“Actually that’s not a bad looking guy.”
That’s cuz he’s a Wigger!
8 years of silence with Obama & then this virtue signaling dolt W. comes crawling out of the woodwork right on time to try & shut down the uranium story....also obvious he worked with Obama to set up today’s news.
Trump is the POTUS I hoped W would be but never was.
The only good thing I can say about W anymore is that he was probably better than having The Goron or John F-ing Kerry as POTUS.
