As for Bush, no denying it, the man loved his country.
Reagan was the last pro-American president the USA had.
Both the Bushes were pro-elitist, and anti-American-citizen. They only "love" the Country Club part of America. Neither Bush was conservative by any stretch of the imagination. They were only slightly less communist that their Democrat opponents.
In GWB's first inauguration, he refused to pledge to uphold and defend the "Constitution of the United States", instead opting for the insulting wording "uphold the laws". In 2005, he didn't repeat the insult, and every video of the 2001 inaugural oath/insult had already been scrubbed from the interwebs.
I saw him after 9-11 and what he did for the nation.
Whatever his pappy did, GWB was not GHWB. And we’d be far better off with either at the helm today than the Kenyan idiot.
