Barbara (L) and Jenna Bush, the daughters of U.S. President George W Bush, walk together from the Darnall Army Community Hospital in Fort Hood, Texas, April 11, 2004 after President Bush (news - web sites) and members of his family visited with soldiers wounded in Iraq (news - web sites). Bush awarded 10 purple hearts to troops recovering in the hospital, after attending an Easter Sunday Church service at a chapel within the army base in central Texas.

Quite a contrast, isn't it?

Yet these two young women are being torn to shreds for what some deem to be inappropriate attire.

[cajungirl]

Bless your heart darlin', you are the funniest woman fraud I have ever had the pleasure to meet,,and you mean well.

[cajungirl]

This thread is killing me. I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Now for the big question,,,,WHAT ABOUT ALL THE FESTIVE RAINBOW COLORS AT FUNERALS?

[Gabz]

We should all be proud that the girls spent Easter visiting the troops. That is all that the twin discussion should be about.

I tried to make a similar suggestion some time back on this thread!!!

[cajungirl]

We should be proud that at least they aren't in maternity wear.

[Gabz]

Pinky Fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all news to me. I knew the Klintons had contempt for the military, but didn't realize it was THAT blatant... How disgraceful.

[eddie willers]

Where'd you find that picture of Howlin?

[cajungirl]

Odd thing is, I defended Chelsea back in those days too. I just cannot tolerate young kids and young people being bashed on these threads like they asked for it. They ought to have a space and respect to make their mistakes and grow out of them. At age 22 I was ridiculous and would not have fared well with scrutiny.

I gotta go, but this has been a barrel of fun!! Yall keep the faith, keep wearing those underpants, consider hosiery and by all means, don't tempt any perverts in church.

[GretchenEE]

And to think that this is a conservative forum. No wonder girls dress like they do these days.

Yes, and the church has largely let drop the standards she should be upholding to be salt and light in the world. Thankfully, God is moving to revive and restore this land. Can't get anywhere but to mockery of righteous principles till He changes our hearts.

"surely you will agree you gave that impression."

Nope and I resent your attempt to distort what I wrote. That is an old liberal trick.

[Gabz]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad some folks are starting to see the hilarity of this entire conversation.........sheesh the way some are ragging on these young ladies, you would think they were Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter.

It's like your panty rule: Always wear navy blue or black to a funeral.

I also think if you go through all this formality, your panties and bra should match your outfit. No pink panties under that black suit. No, sirreeeee. They must be black panties.

[Demetrius Slaughter]

"Neither girl is dressed appropriately for church."

Amen!

[1riot1ranger]

"We should be proud that at least they aren't in maternity wear."

LOL
Stop it! Now your killin ME!

[cajungirl]

Damn, I gotta go home. Don't get into the panties matching argument without me. And the funerals, try to save it. I do believe the color at funerals is not appropriate. But hosiery should be required at the funerals. And unders of all kinds

Although I don't approve of revealing clothing styles, and am long past the age where any immodest dress on my part would tempt anyone, I merely wanted to point out to you that I think you are focussing too much on outward appearance.

The clothes the Bush daughters are wearing are NOT barebacked; both are wearing cover-ups. The skirts are long. It is not their fault that the wind whipped the skirts against their bodies.

I think there is a place for discussion of appropriate dress. I also think that people are being WAY too critical of these outfits. And I think that there is a fine line which you are drawing over your atiitude.

After all, you think you are right because of the Holy Spirit. The Taliban think THEY are right. But both of you are blaming women, which was my point.

If I were to discuss Demetrius' daughter, I could point out that this is not necessarily considered a modest dress. In 1910, it would have been considered scandalous. It would not be acceptable in most Muslim countries. In fact, as late as 1955, it would have been considered way too short.

Standards of decency vary from country to country, and from time to time. Paul admonished women not to wear gold in church, nor to wear their hair uncovered.

I think it wise to not look so much at the external, but rather the heart, and it seems to me that these are two good girls who went to church and visited the wounded.

Instead, you and a couple of others are nit-picking their dress. I don't think this is right.

I have often read your posts with respect, but on this one I must disagree. I am sure we will come to agreement on other matters, but on this one I must part company.

[boxerblues]

I cant believe you 2 have keep this thread going as long as it has. You both have given me my chuckle for the day.

PS I dont see anything wrong with what either of them are wearing, and I am a women.

My sides are starting to hurt from laughing.
"Bless your heart" -- "I hope this helps."

Fortune favors the brave.
