George H.W. Bush Was a Steward of Stability

stability

I would have used the word 'mediocrity' but I guess that's just me.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Tax collector the New World Order.

Jonah is a globalist shill.

He helped maintain stability in Mexico by allowing them to dump their poor indigenous population on US.

It was a different era. Partisanship was "typical" at that time. There was Watergate, Reagan, Iran-contra, and Clinton soiling the WH.

Partisanship moved to warp speed after the 2000 Bush/Gore recount. It's been intolerable hell ever since. "Stability" hasn't been possible since....and won't be for a while.

American presidents tend to fit two molds: transformative leaders and transitional ones.

A transformation is a transition, isn't it?

[R_Kangel]

..... Yup .... The Democrat Party always demands Mandatory Compromise only from the Republicans when the GOP holds the Presidency ..... And always insist that the Republicans maintain their place in the Globalist Plan.

..... The GOP has it's place as being nothing more than Political Placeholders so that when the real party controlling the nation, The Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party, regains the Presidency they only need to make minor adjustments made by the aforementioned Placeholders to insure the unstoppable march towards a Global Economic Unity.

I voted for Perot in 1992 and have never regretted it. When I grew up in the 1960s, when a President died, such as Eisenhower or Truman, it was notable news but the federal government and Wall Street didn’t shut down for a day and there wasn’t the hagiographic procession to the dead president’s pyramid (now called their Presidential Library and paid for by the taxpayers). Both Ike and HST were far more consequential presidents than GHW Bush or Ford; neither got the Pharaoh is dead and heading for his pyramid treatment that these two one-term mediocrities received.

I watched his rescue by the sub today. A group of sailors pull him out of the water. Then there’s an edit where there is only Bush and one other. Was it a second “take” so he could look up at the camera? He always maintained he didn’t know it was being filmed.

I also wonder how this didn’t came to light until he was running for an president. Or am I wrong?

Then there’s the picture of All Gore walking away from the camera with his father’s arm around him. Supposedly Al telling his daddy he was going to join the Army. Why would a picture be taken of two men walking away? And were there no more pictures taken that day?

Now the question becomes “Were the lives of these two planned from that long ago”?

My tinfoil is waiting for me. But I just think it’s odd.

“Our hunger for transformative presidents, for “outsiders” to save America, has only intensified. The sad irony is that if salvation is what we need...”

No Jonah, idiot, it is not Trump’s “outsider-ness” that we like, it is his stances on the issues, and his leadership. Can you comprehend?

Goldberg wrote this whole piece as a platform for that angle.

[Trumpnado2016]

He gave the green light to Saddam to invade Kuwait and the rest is history.

[proust]

Sure he got his clock cleaned by a tag team of Perot and Clinton, but at least he was stable. Thanks, David Cop a feel.

[tomkat]

Excellent questions, and I join in your skepticism.

[chris37]

Whatever lol

[Nifster]

No Jonah. He was a mean as hell politician. I got be him credit for his loyalty to Reagan. I do not give him credit for selling out conservatives because at heart he was a RINO

[Terry Mross]

Thanks.
