To choose between Bush and Obama, I wouldn’t just crawl over broken glass or walk across hot coals (pick your metaphor), I’d EAT broken glass and hot coals and I’d do it ... here it comes ... every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Now that Bush came out last summer and intimated that people who were against gay marriage are bad, I’m sure the media will view him more favorably. If he comes out full bore anti-conservative and anti-Christian like he’d like to, is stock will go way up.

Heck, by comparison to Obama, our seasoned citizens should remember the good ole Carter years. Are we gonna regress all the way back to Nixon with his wage and price controls ? Ah. The Nixon years, where the EPA and AGW all got their start. The EPA is their church. Anti-humanism is their religion. And the AGW theory is their bible. And apparently the Koch Bros are their Emmanuel Goldstein. So we have regressed back to 1980. Boy do we need a Reagan now.

The yellow cake was sold to a Canadian Company, it was reported on AP and ignored by the media.

I don't think we should have gotten in Iraq -- not in the 90s, nor in the 2000s -- Saddam was a threat to the region, to Iran and Saudi arabia which is why Bush senior went after him
If Bush I had not interfered then Saddam would have used his robbings from Kuwait to fund a new war with Iran, possibly defeating it (with the USSR out of the picture)
He would also have held the Saudis to ransom
Oh and finally, the Islamic jihadis hated him, so they would have tried to get him and he would have used his characteristic mustard gas attacks on them
And there would still be 2 million Christians in Iraq living safely rather than 200,000 and dropping under danger from jihadis

Comparing Bush to Obama?
Not possible
Compare Carter to Obama -- now that's a better comparison...

He’s a RINO and was a poor leader. He looks good now only because Obama is the worst President in history.
Much in the way a filthy pond with garbage floating in it would look pretty good if you were on fire.

To: Scoutmaster
Seriously? You have a Millard Fillmore memorabilia collection? He's the butt of many jokes and gets beat up by historians for not being more activist.
But, seriously, he was one of the better presidents when it came to adherence to the constitution and p*ssing a lot of “living document constitution” types off who deserved to be p*ssed off.
John Tyler was another, but his legacy is somewhat tainted by his ties to the secessionist movement in his final year on earth.

That’s how its always been done - vilify the guy with the hard medicine and apologize to him over the corpse.
To: Cronos
Semi-secular Arab strongmen/dictators are sadly what is best for that region. They scare the Saudis (Which is fine by me), keep Iran in check (UN screwed the pooch in the '80s by holding Hussein back when Iraq gained the strategic advantage) and tend to keep "religious order" better than any Western "infiltrator" trying to "establish democracy" and nation build.
Muslims are a counter-hegemonic force that the West tries to desperately tame, but their "good intentions" make the situation far worse in the long run.
