George W. Bush: Man of the Decade

Clearly, this is my month to really annoy liberals. After picking Rush Limbaugh as Man of the Year, I pick the liberal version of Satan as man of the decade. But again, I ask you, read my arguments, and then make up your mind...

Most decades are defined by the Presidents who dominate them. FDR dominated the 30s and 40s. Eisenhower the fifties, LBJ the sixties. The Seventies were the decade of incompetence. The eighties clearly was Ronald Reagan's, and Clinton dominated the nineties. In the same way, for good or ill, President George W. Bush had the most profound affect on the last decade, and that is why he is clearly my person of the decade.

I repeat......keep the hate alive. It's great for the soul.

George W. Bush - man of integrity.

We're not talking about his politics, elenil. We're talking about his character.

Next time you post, do let me know what you've done to keep America safe from terrorist attack. Do let me know how "manly" you are. Do let me know how you've stood strongly for freedom throughout the world.

You see, I don't judge a person based on whether or not he does exactly what I demand he do according to my (very) conservative political ideology. You clearly do, so my advice to you and your fellow Bush haters (shrinking in numbers as time passes, fortunately) is that there are issues of more eternal value than politics. As long as you judge a person's character on whether or not they signed the "No Child Left Behind" bill, then you prove that you miss the larger picture.

I don't, so I'll keep posting what you so crudely label "BS" but is in truth, verified by every person who knows the man. He's a man of unquestioned integrity.

Horse pucky.

[ohioWfan]

So much more to the point, STARWISE! ;)

[eleni121]

What is this - some kind of Bush love boat?

Apparently so...frankly, he was elected to be a political leader (not my fuzzy pastor) and many of us voted for him based on his conservative beliefs not his ability to “get along” with the leftist monsters on the other side of the aisle ... and the world. Events have proven him to be nothing more than a PC conservative...as I said before like his daddy.

And by the way lady...your making this personal does nothing to elevate the argument in his favor. You sound like a mindless bushbot.

[STARWISE]

You sound like a mindless bushbot.

~~~~~~~~~~~

So I guess one could say that makes
you a mindless Bush hater.

There are so many here who are as
well informed in their minds as you
believe you are, and have just as
passionate an opinion, but opposite
to yours.

Why not just ignore threads that
are complimentary to Pres. Bush
and spare yourself and us all?

[eleni121]

Let me say this: without and honest and sometimes hostile (among fundamental allies I hope) debate we cannot move ahead.

If you want to limit debate and keep on recycling and let issues continue to fester then ask the boss to make this “enthralled with Bush” thread private.

[ohioWfan]

They apparently can't ignore these threads, STARWISE. There is something driving to post on them. If Bush's name is in the title, they will come and make sure he gets smacked down. It's personal.

It doesn't matter if it's a relevant post (this one wasn't). The point is to go out of their way to insult President Bush.

It is not we who are "mindless."

Thanks for continuing to post facts. It counters the emotions of the Bush haters.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

this is my month to really annoy liberals.

Quite the contrary. Liberals agree wholeheartedly that GW is the man of the decade. He did, after all, hand them the election of their Messiah on a silver platter.

[eleni121]

I guess I can continue in the interest of examining the Bush weaknesses:

At least eleven former Saudi Gitmo prisoners were sent back home by the Bush administration between 2003-2007 and these have rejoined Al Qaida in Yemen.

Why did Bush release and send back Al-Qaida operatives?

[eleni121]

hand them the election of their Messiah on a silver platter.

That he did...with a vengeance. Along with his nutty philosophy of “liberating” Muslim nations.

What a monumental disappointment and really a tragedy for the US.

[STARWISE]

Oh really ... this is a public form, where
published articles are posted, and members are
free to post civilly within the forum guidelines.

And PS ... you’re the one not moving ahead.

Everyone in the world but you apparently accepts,
grudgingly or gratefully that, thankfully since
9/11, none in your family or mine were tortured,
decapitated, blown up or otherwise struck dead
by evil jihadi beasts on our USA homeland, thanks
to the resolve of Pres. George W. Bush, our brave
troops and intel agencies.

I suggest you vent your obviously toxic spleen
at the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania, who
apparently takes perverse delight in inviting and
inciting the next terror attack on our soil.

And you can also simply avoid threads complimentary
to Pres. Bush ‘cause they’re not going to stop.

Iran is the womb of evil. The president of Iran is a man who widened all the streets of the city so that when the hidden imam returns, the so-called 12th imam returns to earth he doesn't have to ride through narrow streets. It's a country that has vowed to wipe Irael off the map, aids Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas and supports Palestinian militant groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, has an almost thirty year track record of active sponsorship of terrorism, the means to bring it about, and is now going nuclear.

There was no way - should we have to tango with Iran with Saddam in power. Saddam flew his jets into Iran during Gulf war 1 for safe keeping, two idiots had the US as a common enemy. With saddam out of the way we won't get blind sided by him should we have to go into iran. You can't hit iran and have a hostile force to your backs. What is a terrorist? he hides in the shadows, he isn't part of a conventional army, he has no country. The left must think that we're going to go door to door in the entire ME and ask " hey, any terrorists here?".

We needed to FORCE a conventional war on them, and make them fight something resembeling a conventional war. Your not going to beat them if they all stay in their houses. The left used to say that terrorists were streaming into Iraq. Hello? You defeat terrorists by killing them, and you're not going to do that unless you lure them into an open fight. Iraq was the carrot. Iraq was a more open favorable place for us to kill their silly ass.

Thanks to Bush Iran is NOW sandwiched between our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. If they tangle with us they're stuck in a 2 front war, and resupply for us is not a problem now is it? because we own the airspace in afghanistan and Iraq.

[eleni121]

not Iran...Saudi Arabia - and its clients in Turkey and Pakistan - is the “womb” of evil.

Iran is about to self implode sooner or later.

OTOH we continue to send the Saudis and their cartel billions per month which they use to fund a world wide network of open and clandestine efforts to spread their evil ideology and undermine the non muslim West. Who can forget Bush going there and begging the sheiks to open the spigots a bit more? Apparently some here do.

This is not to say that Iran as ruled by the nutty imams is a lamb...but the Saudis are wolves in sheep’s clcthing. We are marching into a perilous canyon surrounded by islamic fire.

[kitkat]

Good for you, Starwise. I’m mighty tired of hearing certain Freepers claim that IT’S ALL BUSH’S FAULT.

[anglian]

A quarter million soldiers could not just continue to sit in the sands of Araby twiddling their thumbs indefinitely. "Containment" was not a strategy but the absence of strategy. Saddam was the preeminent symbol of the September 10th world. His continuation in office testified to America's lack of will, and was seen as such by, among others, Osama bin Laden. In Donald Rumsfeld's words, weakness is a provocation.

Hu is the President who dominated the last decade.

I don't know, who is the President who dominated the last decade?

That's what I said, Hu is the President who had the most profound affect on the last decade, and that is why he is clearly my person of the decade.

But you still haven't said who.

That's right, Hu.

We needed the oil for war. We are not drilling for our own oil here, BECAUSE OF DEMOCRATS.

It is the outside of enough when the refusal of democrats (and some idiot rinos like McCain) to drill in ANWR and in the Gulf is blamed on Bush.

I suggest you look at history a bit more closely.

[ohioWfan]

That's hilarious.

The left hates George W. Bush (even more than some pseudo-conservatives do).

It was the incessant lies from the left about Bush, and the slobbering adulation and cover-up of the facts from the left for Obama, that gave them their Messiah.

To say that it was Bush's fault that we got Obama is delusional.

[ohioWfan]

Thanks to Bush Iran is NOW sandwiched between our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. If they tangle with us they're stuck in a 2 front war, and resupply for us is not a problem now is it? because we own the airspace in afghanistan and Iraq.

A critical strategy that has hamstrung Iran and placed a pro-American ally on both sides.....and something that the mindless blame Bush crowd conveniently ignores.

Iran is the center of the threat. Iran is the belly of the beast.

And thanks to George W. Bush, they are surrounded.

It takes a selective memory and a whole lot of toxicity to ignore the facts about who kept us safe after 9/11.

I wonder how this small minority of freepers has conveniently forgotten the very real threat and the very deep fear that every American felt after 9/11, and why they have chosen to forget that reality.

How has this man of integrity and courage managed to become the scapegoat for all their anger and bile? It's really sad to observe, IMO.
