The Essential President Bush [Bush did not abandon us; we abandoned him]

The key is to get in early on their bashing posts (well........they bash on EVERY post), and post the truth to rebut their lies and venom. Any post about President Bush needs to be attacked by US early on. We're the majority, so we should be able to do it. ..........etc.,

Let's roll

[Wolfstar]

If they aren't peddling an agenda, than why do they come here and get all hysterical about this President trying to fulfill a Campaign promise, and spew just about everything we have ever heard from Nancy Pelosi and/or Howard Dean? or for that matter, every Pat Buchanan supporting isolationist that has ever stained this forum?

Good morning. :)

This is such a good thread. Mike your questions quoted above go to the heart of the problem. In my perhaps not so humble opinion [ ;-) ] the answer is because most of them ARE Dim plants and the types who vote for 1930's style nativist-populists like Perot and Buchanan.

Such people live in a perpetual state of temper tantrum.

When I used the term Bushbot it was in general and was not directed at a specific person. As such it was not a personal attack. I define Bushbot as one who can not tolerate any criticism of the POTUS. I reserve the right to define it as I choose since it is not in my dictionary. Another poster voluteered to that she was a proud Bushbot although she disagreed with the president in other areas. I responded that while she could call herself a Bushbot, I did not have to. That was the extent of my "personal attacks." And although I paraphrased in this post, I did re-read my posts and the replies re use Bushbot. And I did agreed, when asked, that Bushbot could be a pjorative, but since I didn't direct the term at an indvidual (she claimed it) it could hardly have have been a personal attack.

I agree with this article soooo much. Bush should be Sainted. He is a God. Not just any god, a God! To criticize is to blaspheme. HE knows what is good for us. The burdens of our sins are on HIS shoulders, I don't know how he can bear the burden.

Well, it's sounds like someone has an all-knowing God-complex...but it ain't Bush

EXCELLENT POST!

Corrected version. I was hurried when I posted it. My apologies. When I used the term Bushbot it was in general and was not directed at a specific person. As such it was not a personal attack. I define Bushbot as one who can not tolerate any criticism of the POTUS. I reserve the right to define it as I choose since it is not in my dictionary. Another poster voluteered that she was a proud Bushbot although she disagreed with the president in some areas. I responded that while she could call herself a Bushbot, since she did not fit my definition of Bushbot, I did not have to call her one. That was the extent of my "personal attacks." And although I paraphrased in this post, I did re-read my posts and the replies re use of Bushbot. And I did agree, when asked, that Bushbot could be a pjorative, but since I didn't direct the term at an indvidual (she claimed it herself) it could hardly have have been a personal attack.

Bush did not abandon us; we abandoned him!!!!

mea culpa

mea culpa

mea maxima culpa

What more can I do to confess my sins OhioWfan? I now love George Bush with all my heart, please beat me a thousand times for ever having deviated from the orthodoxy. Beat me, ban me, silence my voice, - it is the duty of every right thinker to stone the infidels. Bush before conservative principle I say! I stand condemned. ,

Well then, there, now.

There's the reasoned debating style we've been waiting for - _not

This is something that Richard Poe, the author of Hillary's Secret War, wrote about conservatives turning against the president.

Richard understands that Bush haters are trying to take over this web site:

This is an article about Richard's book, in which FR is featured. It explains further the things I've been posting:

It is well worth reading through Richard's posts by doing an in forum search and reading his comments. He has it all figured out.

Remember his first Inauguration speech, about bringing dignity and honor back to the office? How quickly the whiners forget the absymal decadence and the despotic, conniving evil idealogues couple that occupied the WH prior to Laura and George W. Bush and the sanctioned sinfulness they lived and the radical agenda they promoted.

Thank God, and yes .. he HAS definitely changed that into the place of honor it was, and he and Laura represent US in the most gracious and honorable way throughout the world.

He's a plain spoken man, and has always shared his beliefs and convictions, and he's doing what he said he believed in from day one.

Oh yes .. he DID have to learn some new complicated skills and adapt to the changing world .. on a dime .. after 9/11 and build a coalition of support around the world for our protection, go on the offensive against the terrorists, and is integral in the daily war planning, but I guess people like to forget how he led and held us together during those grim days. He was a beacon of hope and light in the dark and sorrowful night, and this country was united ...for a few months.

Remember how WJC was overhead saying that, if only he'd had this WOT during his term, he'd have risen to the occasion and it would've insured his popularity and legacy? How utterly sick and twisted! The thought would never enter Pres. Bush's mind, yet he rose to the mission and has borne it with all his innate intelligence, focus, realistic outlook and strength of character out of a sense of responsibility for this country's safety because he knows it's his job 24/7.

I agree .. facts to the rescue. Those who attempt to assume they know his motives for certain decisions have NO idea of the big picture landscape, interconnectiveness of issues, possible ramifications and horizons with which he deals every single day, most of which we'll probably never know.

Sad to say, and I've said it before, but (God forbid) it's probably going to take another horrible attack to shock the grumblers and temporarily silence the pathetic pettiness afoot in this country and on this forum. God bless US all.

I pray continued strength, safety and health for Pres. Bush. A lesser man could've understandably folded from sheer stress long before this.

[maine-iac7]

I agree, Bush never was a conservative and has always been a big spending globalist socialist. So I don't feel at all betrayed. But I did try to tell yall Bush would screw conservatives back in 1999. Unfortunately nobody listened.

Can someone say - "WTF"?

Golly, if we'd only listened to this wise council, what a wonderful world we'd now be living in -

I think you're on target with the methodology of the trolls, and that Rush and Sean are using what they perceive to be the conservative mindset, and basing their programming on it.

Yesterday, I tried Rush again because there was SO much good stuff for him to get on the Dems for. I couldn't stomach the whole program, but it took him 2 and a half hours to finally get to William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana because he kept pounding on immigration.

They are missing the boat here, and I hope their ratings suffer for it. I like that Mark Bellings countered Rush a bit today. Good for him!

[maine-iac7]

For the sane among us, it has been an embarrassment to be associated with people like this.

and very disheartening

[maine-iac7]

The opinion shapers on this forum have moved normally good freepers into hysteria mode. It's unseemly and embarrassing.

Isn't it time for the 'real' FR-er/Bush base to take back FR?

[ohioWfan]

That was a perfect example of the mental defects that we're dealing with here, maine-iac. I tell you, Fast is the poster boy for the irrational, and that is exactly why we cannot let these guys destroy this forum and the conservative movement along with it.

If ever there was a prime example of the fact that these pseudo-cons' goal is to destroy us, poster boy coyote is it.

We just can't let them succeed.

[Peach]

We can try; I'm not giving up.

I have no idea why you addressed this yawn of a post to me.

[maine-iac7]

You posted to nopardons

You are an arrogant twit.

Seems like that's beyond the pale.....personal attack...

, that is the weapon of choice for someone with a deficiency of reason in their debating arsenal...you wouldn't want us to think your debating bag is empty?

[ohioWfan]

Perhaps the reason that some of these folks have 'forgotten' the decadence of xlinton is that they supported the decadence of xlinton, STARWISE.

I know that some of these folks actually think they're conservatives, but I don't underestimate the deviance of the left, and I have no doubt that many of these pseudo-cons are leftist infiltrators.

I just pray that the real conservatives (assuming that there are some) who are deeply angry at the President put things in perspective and cool off.

If they don't, they could send this country into the hands of the enemy, just for spite.......and that, for a real conservative, is unthinkable.
