I don’t think there’s ever been a president so falsely maligned. Everything the Left said and continues to say about him is twisted backward. The “mission accomplished” banner, the fake AWOL accusation. Tax cuts for the rich. And of course, the reason for the Iraq invasion. It’s as if liberals intentionally misunderstand in order to justify their continued hatred based on even more misunderstanding.

Why Catholics Are Grateful to George W. Bush

Too bad they voted for Al Gore in support of the Clinton/Gore agenda, Catholics voted against George W. in the 2000 election.

The title is misleading.

If you were on faithful Catholic e-mail lists back then, you remember the Lepanto 2000 Rosary Crusade. Organizers gathered 570,000 Rosary pledges and prayed for a pro-life victory in the contested election. These were shortly followed by the emails celebrating how Lepanto 2000 had triumphed. Key dates in Bush v. Gore happened to fall on Dec. 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. No one seriously considered him Mary’s Chosen One, but the dates were suggestive. When his term started, hopes rose higher still.

Why not ask Iraqi Catholics how greatful they are to GW?

I am Catholic and I love George W Bush. I have been much hated because of it too.

I used to have a whole bunch of links for Catholics and Bush, but sadly I deleted them.

The biggest problem with W is his promulgation (or continued, after Clinton) of a war and aid for putative allies, who have completely decimated Orthodox Christianity in now Muslim areas of the world. Iraq right now has less than 10% of the Chaldeans it had when Saddam Hussein was in power. In Egypt, the Copts have either been killed or fled for the most part.

Remember that the Middle East and North Africa was almost entirely Christian before the Muslim invasion.
