The Bravest President

Y'all gotta read this!

Agreed. But, one must also remember that W's stubborness in fighting Islamofacism (correct), can be his downfall when not building a fence, protecting our borders, and continually compromising with the Left as when he allowed Kennedy to write the Education Bill and other Dems in writing the Transportation and Ag bills. I love him but when he continually forgets his BASE, he tries one's soul!!!

[William Terrell]

I agree, any president that goes against the vast majority to refuse to enforce laws that keep his nation's sovereignty, language and culture intact and actively works to destroy those laws is indeed brave.

[You Dirty Rats]

The reason the President inspires so much opposition -- some of it fair and reasonable, some of it shrill, obnoxious and unreasonable -- is that the man is a leader trying to get important things done. This is in contrast to his predecessor, who was a poor excuse for a leader and got absolutely nothing done (unless one counts staining the Office of the President).

Some of the haters on this site are, I believe, going to be greatly disappointed when the Republicans do better this November against the 'Rats than is currently predicted.

we've been in the "most dangerous period of international warfare in our nation's history" since the Bomb was invented and proliferated.

Also, why is this a bragging point? It's not like weapons are going to be less destructive in the future. Every single future generation will be living through the "most dangerous period of international warfare" in history.

Of course Al Qaeda is dangerous, but more so than the Commies? I'm not so sure. At least not in terms of capacity for total destruction.

Thanks for the upbeat reminder. I just sent an email to GWB, thanking him for his determination and service to our country. I also let him know that my family is praying for him daily. Amen.

I love President Bush. ;o)

[snugs]

If you do not see the Islamic movement worldwide as dangerous as the Nazis and most certainly worse than the communists then I am afraid you just don't get it to coin a phrase.

This is a world wide war and their aim is extinguish Christianity and convert the world to Islam.

We have been silent too long.

Bush gets it even if he has to couch it in PC words but I am afraid you do not.

[Redleg Duke]

Good point. Single issue "conservatives" have been keeping the RATS alive long past their storage date. First it was the pro-life, single issue, "I'm gonna sit on my hands and send them a message" conservatives. Now it is the anti-illegal immigration, single issue, "I'm gonna sit on my hands and send them a message" conservatives.

[snugs]

And they are far more unstable than the communist block were.

[You Dirty Rats]

W's stubborness in fighting Islamofacism (correct), can be his downfall when not building a fence, protecting our borders, and continually compromising with the Left as when he allowed Kennedy to write the Education Bill and other Dems in writing the Transportation and Ag bills.

He never promised to build a wall; he did promise an Education Bill. Whether one agrees with him or not (and many times I don't), he does keep his word and he does what he says he will do -- which sometimes requires working with Congress. He is a strong, effective President with great leadership qualities.

And he does remember his "base" -- tax cuts, WOT, judicial nominations. He is just not a classic Conservative like Reagan -- but then again he never campaigned as one.

[Redleg Duke]

When we were up against the Nazis and Communists, we were united. Now, thanks to the public school system and the MSM, we are erroded by guilt and not unified.

More dangerous? I think so.

[snugs]

Well put

[snugs]

:0)

[snugs]

I am :0)

[snugs]

Maybe he does not see you as his base because you believe you are the base of the party does that actually make you so.

[Pippin]

Hi, Snugs!

This is great!

Two pro-Bush threads in two days!

WOW!

I needed the break from the constant Bush bashing I'm being exposed to daily.

[PISANO]

Few in my memory exhibit George Bush's STEADFAST leadership.

Bold is an insignificant word to describe his Iraq strategy.

Unenlightened is an insignificant word to describe his illegal immigrant policy.

However he remains true to his BELIEFS and his vision and does NOT waver from them.

You have to admire his fortitude. He is the most maligned President in my lifetime, probably since Lincoln.

I wish he was the President during my war fighting days. The outcome just may have been VERY VERY different.

[Pippin]

Ditto on that!

[DrDeb]

TWO THUMBS UP for a SUPERIOR analysis of our courageous Commander in Chief!
