Very late in 92', Bush realized he had so lost the Republican base that he personally appeared on his show.
My memories.
He lost to Clinton.
Different world if he doesn’t choke b
Wasn’t he literally worse than Hitler?
Or was that Reagan? GW Bush? Trump?
I see a pattern here.
GHW Bush was a patrician, liberal Republican who saved us from Michael Dukakis and an Iraqi takeover of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He was there when the Soviet Union fell. All in all, he was a good POTUS.
Memories. They’re important:
“Where were you the day JFK was shot in Dallas..?”
“I don’t remember...”
“Err....you were not in DALLAS...?”
“Oh yeah..!”
He was as corrupt as anybody in DC.
Very late in 92', Bush realized he had so lost the Republican base that he personally appeared on his show.
Bush and his whole Republican party were “racists” according to Colin Powell, the man he appointed to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his son appointed to be the first black Secretary of State - funny how time changes people’s memories......
Rush makes some good points.
I would add to Rush’s observations of the press’ attempt to rewrite history that they left out some history. When H.W stepped down from the stage and did not criticize his successor to the office (no matter how corrupt his successor’s administration was over the next 8 years) in respect to the tradition of George Washington. Such traditions only apply to Republicans ... unlike big mouths WJC and BHO who were not worthy of the office.
I don’t hate old man Bush and rest in peace. BUT he was partly responsible for the disastrous 1990 immigration bill which opened up the flood gates

He also put together much of NAFTA though it passed Congress during Bill Clinton’s regime.
On the plus side we went into Iraq and got out very cleanly. So trillions were not blown on building Muslim nations. Nor thousands maimed and dead on the American side as in GW’s wars.

The Immigration Act of 1990
The Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub.L. 101–649, 104 Stat. 4978, enacted November 29, 1990) was signed into law by George H. W. Bush on November 29, 1990.[1] It was first introduced by Senator Ted Kennedy in 1989. It was a national reform of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. It increased total, overall immigration to allow 700,000 immigrants to come to the U.S. per year for the fiscal years 1992–94, and 675,000 per year after that.[2] It provided family-based immigration visa, created five distinct employment based visas, categorized by occupation, and a diversity visa program that created a lottery to admit immigrants from “low admittance” countries [3] or countries where their citizenry was underrepresented in the U.S.
Besides these immigrant visas there were also changes in nonimmigrant visas like the H-1B visa for highly skilled workers. There were also cutbacks in the allotment of visas available for extended relatives.[4] Congress also created the temporary protected status (TPS visa), which the Attorney General may provide to immigrants who are temporarily unable to safely return to their home country because of ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary condition. It specifically benefited citizens of El Salvador.[2]
The act also lifted the English testing process for naturalization that had been imposed in the Naturalization Act of 1906 for permanent residents who are over 55 and have been living in the United States for fifteen years as a permanent resident,[5] [6] and eliminated exclusion of homosexuals under the medically unsound classification of “sexual deviant” that was in the 1965 Act.[7] George H. W. Bush is quoted in saying “I am also pleased to note that this Act facilitates immigration not just in numerical terms, but also in terms of basic entry rights of those beyond our borders.”[8]
I/we can always depend on you to post relevant articles with your usual timeliness, skill and precision, leaving the usual snide remarks and asides for others to provide.
We humans are neither perfect nor without fault but as is written scripture, it is the Lord who raises up kings and emperors to rule over us and especially in what I firmly believe to be His City on a hill, He chooses our leaders for very specific reasons: sometimes to get us through especially troubling times, such as George Washington, the man God would choose to lead our land through the perilous Revolution; the era just prior to and during the Civil War, God placed Abraham Lincoln as our leader (some here might despute his qualifications); Geo. H.W. Bush as mantle bearer following the great Ronald Reagan (no one person could follow Reagan and bear up but he did,.........for one term); then, Geo. W. Bush, whom I believe of the choices Americans were given, him or Al Gore, the better choice to be sitting in office on 9/11.
I personally believe God allowed the anti-American, godless heathen, Obama to bring those of us who have sat in church (or not) and listened to watered down Christianity at best or the blatant paganism of Social Justice, when our fathers, grandfathers or g.grandfathers would have run those scam artists out of the pulpit but we reap what we sow, so here we are with the results and as some in our family, friends, co-workers, etc. refer to Trump as “unpresidential,” “profane,” and worse, preferred the lying harridan Hillary, the Socialist nut Bernie, or worse yet, look longingly back to the “Manchurian Candidate,” Obama!
Yes, God does indeed place the rulers we need and/or deserve at the time, knowing Trump to be the man God has chosen or allowed to lead us at this trying time.
I watched the entire ceremony today at the Capitol.
VP Pence’s Eulogy was so personal and moving.
Thanks for the post.
