I believe W was a good president, but an establishment president. He told Cruz he represented the establishment.

He responded strongly to terrorism, but protected the Saudi royal family, and got us in a second war before we finished in Iraq.

We are still there, having spent trillions. He launched a war on "terrorism" which is unwinnable and has no end. It is like the war on poverty.

According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money.

He also brought dignity back to the office after the disgusting perversions of Bill Clinton.

And then welcomed Clinton into his family and gave him respect.

...

While he did many commendable things, it remains to be seen what emerges in this process.

I hope he was not just a good president, but actually a good person too.

Life is messy and no man is perfect. Whether we remember them with respect or scorn depends on the specific acts - often behind the scenes.

Time will tell.

Time and ignorance will whitewash the evil HW did to this country. He coined the term New World Order into the modern lexicon and made it seem an almost normal progression to the future, exactly in line with Biblical prophesy. He was a senior member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the globalist cabal that sends the most elite and successful of globalists to the Bilderberger group. He was a gun grabber to the nth degree. Under his regime, the cheap availability of the 7.62 x 39 ammo totally dried up and with it the low cost of those fine rifles. I wouldn't own one, but not because they're crummy. They're not. Then he banned many extremely high quality firearms from importation. Such as the premiere H&K PSG-1 Sniper Rifle. Cost over $10K back then. Probably NEVER used in a criminal act on our soil. Then there was his support for GATT and NAFTA that destroyed our economy and ruined small town America.

My primary point is that criticism of W is excessive. He also gets little credit for some important things he did. The photo shop crap of him and his wife posted here at FR and Q is frankly disgraceful and undermines the credibility of the movement.

A hobby of mine is video editing. It is very easy to extract frames with various facial expressions to create a narrative, for example, most vid today is being shot well north of 90 frames per second.

Suggesting he and his family are being arrested? Good grief...
