The rise of George W. Bush to the Presidency has been the stuff of legend. From the ashes of a "disputed" election that cast unfair aspersions on a well-deserved victory, we now live in a much different world from the one Dubya inherited in January of 2001, and it's not too early to assess his place in history. And as of right now, the only question seems to be: Great President, or the Greatest President in History?
President Bush has always had to face the distortions and unfair characterizations of the elite liberal media, and his astounding successes and reelection in the face of such a hostile press corp further underscores his greatness and the magnitude of his accomplishments. He has taken quite a bit of flack for relying on his gut and eschewing the advice of the striped pants boys and "experts" in the State Department. It should go without saying that when you have Christ in your corner and you rely on the Bible, you're in better shape than the secular elites who think they have everything figured out.
After inheriting a country that had been weakened by eight years of declining moral standards, a military used for social experimentation with alternative lifestyles than for defending and protecting our shores, and a previous administration too concerned with coddling tyrants than fighting terrorism, and corporations and the top earners burdened by excessive taxes used to funnel money to lazy and unproductive entitlement recipients, it was no surprise that our country was unprepared for the worst terrorist atrocity in U.S. history on September 11, 2001. From that day forward we saw without a doubt one of many of President Bush's finest hours, and where he began to undo the failures of the Clinton Administration. First, he demonstrated his sterling leadership by standing atop a pile of rubble and shouting words of solidarity into a bullhorn. Then, he had the courage to take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan, instead of firing a $10 million cruise missile into an empty tent to hit a camel in the butt. Whereas once Afghanistan was a poor, impoverished country beset by warlordism and the iron grip tyranny of the Taliban, elections have been held, Afghanistan is ruled by a Western-friendly president helping to modernize a backwater third world country, and millions of Afghanis are tasting freedom for the first time.
As smashing a success as Afghanistan was, President Bush knew that it was just one front among many in the new war against Islamofascism, and that in order to carry out his solemn duty to protect and defend the American people from further harm, it would be necessary to commit soldiers to battle against Iraq and its evil tyrant Saddam Hussein, who had GASSED HIS OWN PEOPLE and was plotting America harm, even if liberal critics obsess over the lack of weapons that have been found in postwar Iraq, forgetting that Saddam was an unstable tyrant and a weapon of mass destruction himself. No longer do the Iraqis live in the grip of fear and terror. They have held elections and are tasting the sweet nectar of freedom for the first time. American troops are steadily making progress so that Iraqis can stand up as we stand down. President Bush's greatest legacy is that he reversed the failed policies of the Clinton Administration, which resulted in September 11th, and in its place he is leading the United States to real peace, which is victory.
On the domestic front, the tax cuts have stimulated economic growth and helped usher in an ownership society. Despite the best efforts of liberal defamers to saddle Bush with "scandals" over the botched local and state response to Hurricane Katrina and the "crime" of talking to columnist Robert Novak, President Bush is riding high and has secured at the very least his place in history as a great President. The only question remaining is will he leap ahead of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Reagan in his remaining three years in office.
Sucking up to politicians is for the feebleminded and Russians.
But, thank you.
Thanks BushPolicy, I came out of lurking to tell you I'm right along side you! Bush knows what it takes to bring our great cuntry to the next level and wipe away all those years in the wildness.
When Jesus was in the desert, He new that the easy way out would be the way to ruin. And so we learn from Jesus that the right way is not the easiest way.
The President is taking us the right way and we can't let all his hard work get destroyed in a media frenzy. I believe where there's smoke there's fire but with when your driven in your goal's sometimes you have to bend the rules. That's why the President has parodon powers, for when he strives against his policical foes.
I'm with you Bushpolicy, and I'm with Bush all the way FOR THE USA!!
True, but admiring them for personal or professional achievement is not.
We learn from others that way.
Anyway, it's no big deal. I just find it very funny how it bugs you so much. But it does get you noticed! ; )
I hope you have a terrific day. (Please note that I mean that very sincerely.)
... and a great day for America!
Well he failed to include a ***Barf Alert!!!***, so I vote for "ZOT".
And should.
Are you contending that drilling in ANWR = freedom from foreign oil dependence?
IBTZ!!!
For newbies, you might explain what that means.
Surely you have noticed how many leftist groups clothe themselves in names that include American this or that and/or Progress/Progressive this or that ... almost code words ...
Has anyone [who has been here longer than I have been] taken a look at known trolls to see if they use this same tactic .... like MD4BUSH ... BushPolicy ... ?
Just wondering ...
I was wondering how Houston was treating you and if you planted fall tomatoes?
Not sure quite what this means!
Who's he gonna pardon ... himself ... ?
Has this president made great use of his "parodon" powers ... or was that the one before ... ? LOL
Welcome to Free Republic ... it's a FReep for all at times ... might as well get used to it!
Thanks for asking... I'm still adjusting...
I had a remarkably decent yield from the two plants that I planted waaaaay too late in the spring. But unfortunately, the summer heat was too much for me to even start thinking about starting fall tomatoes. Sheeesh, I could barely keep up with the more routine grass cutting and flower/bush weeding and trimming. I don't care much for St Augustine grass -- the cool weather grasses that I'm accustomed to never gave me as many headaches with assorted brown splotches and other crap growing/not-growing in it. What a pain.
Tomatoes are going to have to wait until spring.
But right now, I'm thinking about more flowers/shrubbery to add around the house or next to the mailbox. The stuff we have is OK, but it doesn't produce much color. We need something (low maintenance) that'll give us some more colorful accents. Any recommendations?
Just click on the MD4BUSH keyword on the main page - it's all there . . .
the "tactic" I was alluding to though is - on one of the early threads (or the first??) he posted on, the thread was bumbed by obvious trolls about one every two weeks.
On this thread - we have a new poster that exhibits some of the classic troll characteristics and several trolls show up on the same thread ...
I changed my mind, I do have something else to say:
the posting guidelines say to post vanities at a minimum, and to post only high quality, well written ones. It doesn't say newbies can't write them, it doesn't talk about newbies at all. The guidelines don't prohibit any other advice I gave that guy. You are the only person who jumped on me for what I wrote, most of my advice was to just have fun, learn etc. This is a free country, I told the guy to write what he wants. You have proven to me, as if I didn't know before, that some people really are too serious about this place. With that said, I actually apologize for telling you to f*** yourself. Let's just stop all this now ok?
Thanks for the information.
I agree. The Mount Rushmore thing is way over-the-top, and his posts seem very measured and calculated - with the typical buzzwords thrown in for good measure.
Well, this thread is now so bizarre at this point it has become hysterical. Lots of unexplained twists and turns, and I have no idea where it is all going.
I think I'm gonna need popcorn.
The trolls certainly seem to be. I think that was the point.
I'm not here all the time, but I haven't seen any patterns to troll names. The obvious trolls use really obnoxious names but I've seen few or no trolls that use suck-up tactics and then try to spring a surprise. I would give BP a thumbs up, I'm just here to watch the nonsense.
