Laura Bush: Let’s talk about the ‘First Gentleman’s’ weight (Barbara goes off on fat people)

We all liked the behavioral contrast in the White House that certainly favors the Bushes over the Clampetts, I mean the Clintons, but politically, we’re looking at two sets of statists. One set is outright Marxist and the other set is more supportive of socialists and socialism than anything else, but virtually nothing near conservative.

So, admire at will, but be aware that abortion is bloody and deadly, and inflicted on helpless tiny ones. Some of us are repelled by Barb and Laura supporting such barbaric kills, making it impossible to think either of these two women are admirable, even half as cute and clever as they may think they are.

I’m in my late 60’s. I did study history in high school and university. And I know who Woodrow Wilson is. A progressive liberal. So explain to me why you would think the Clintons and the Wilson are someone to admire since they are all liberals. True, I am not old enough to have read the press reports about Wilson back at the turn of the last century, but both Clintons are documented liars like Obama and disgusting people with no character or ethics to want to aspire to.

Or is all this just relative too?

[HotHunt]

And I’m sure you are as pure as driven snow yourself. I don’t believe in abortion but I also don’t admire people who judge others and then think their own lives are so perfect and their crap don’t stink. You’re too clever by half. Bless your heart.

Lay off the testosterone.

There was nothing in Trisham’s or my post for you to freak out over. Go somewhere else if you feel the need to correct every poster’s opinion that differs with yours. No need to set your own hair on fire if you get a little rif in return.

Buck up, there, puddin’.

"Well, aren’t we just holier than thou? You seem to have an overly inflated view of your own self-importance to me. A little less hatefulness on your part would be helpful too."

"Hatefulness" again? It's kind of a refrain with you, isn't it?

Nah, I'm definitely not important. But neither are you.

Show some manners.

[HotHunt]

I’m not freaking out. Just giving you back some of your own medicine. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. But then it’s hard to take some of what you shell out. I understand that.

So once you’re done with your turn, you want me to tuck tail and run off like a good little boy? Good luck with that. Come back at me again and you might want to find a bucket of water to pour on your head to put the fire in your own hair out.

HotHunt seems to be extremely intolerant of other opinions.

And a master of the non-sequitur! lol

[HotHunt]

If you want politeness then show some manners yourself, please.

Intolerance is a terrible thing to go through life holding inside. Being so hateful toward people who don’t agree with you sounds just like a liberal. We all know people like you. Moaners, groaners, complainers about everything. Never a positive thing to say about anyone or anything.

Is that your idea of manners?

We’re all intolerant, some more than others. Its a matter of degree. But commenting on other’s opinions is not necessarily being intolerant. It is just disagreeing with those opinions.

Did someone say that it was?

[HotHunt]

[TigersEye]

That was certainly immature.

She always did have a sharp tongue..she was the tuff guy in the family and her husband was the softie.

[heye2monn]

As Jesse Jackson said, stay outta da Bushes!

[HotHunt]

Lighten up and get a sense of humor. It was meant to insert some levity into a dialog that was descending into a meaningless back and forth of ad hominem barbs. Partly my fault I admit. But calling one immature doesn’t help lift the level of commentary either.

Whatever happened to the discussion about Laura Bush and the other First Ladies? I still think Laura Bush conducted herself in public with class, no matter if some here dislike her personal opinions on certain topics.

Sunday morning has dawned all bright and sunny. I’m headed to church. Have a nice day.

I dislike the entire family... I respect GW but I no longer like any of them.
