I do not consider Bush a demi-god nor perfect. He is a very good president.
Go back and read your post. You perhaps will see that your attitude is not conducive to cordial discussion.
I am so glad I really kept up with what has been going on in the political arena these last 15 years. I wish I new more of President Reagan. President Bush will be remembered as one of the great Presidents, not only because of his pro-life stance, which is more important than anything else, but because God put him office to protect this nation, and bring light to the fact that we do not protect our own unborn. George W. Bush will be remembered long after we forget the idiots in hollywood and whoever else you mentioned. If America gets to the point where they rewrite our history, no problem. Its being written in THE BOOK above, and will be read for all to hear. No arguing over the truth then! And we will see the whole truth, not bits and pieces. All those top secret memos, locked away files, and whatever was taken out in someone's pants. Good Grief! Proud of the President for not being afraid of doing what is right. "Doing the right thing is right, even if no else is does it. Doing the wrong thing is wrong, even if everyone else does it." Great quote by someone very wise, not me.
Thanks for your comment!
Compare Bush and Reagan on what happened during their administrations and Bush would come out on top.
You must also think Reagan is one of the worst too?
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Teddy Roosevelt, April 23, 1910.
I am curious,,if you think an opinion stated is BS,,why do you stay to disagree.
The poster stated an opinion, pure and simple. You are free to disasgree but you come across as a sour apple.
No. The voters who apparently are not as adverse to electing Democrats as they should be, are the ones who just drove the country off the cliff.
"Special Report with Brit Hume" re-airs at 3am ET. Perhaps you can tape or TiVo it, if you're interested...
That is a great quote!
I'm just one of the common folk in America. Just a good old conservative Republican. I find all this talk about Dubya being some kind of cult figure, to be pure hyperbole.
Don't chastise me. Look in the mirror. Some of your emotional rants in the past have also not been conducive to cordial discussion. Your attitude generally stinks.
The tenor of the conversation was brought down by YOUR insertion of "BS" to describe Miss Marple's opinion of OUR President and those of others here, including me. Finger ~~ points back at you.
I couldn't agree more with that great Teddy Roosevelt quote. But you see, I'm in the arena too.
I definitely give Bush credit for getting into the arena.
I also criticize him for meager results -- and even more, for not fighting hard enough.
Both are to blame.
Reagan changed America and the world. Bush has done neither.
You don't like anyone disagreeing with you. That has been evident for quite some time. You particularly dislike me because I won't be bullied or browbeaten into agreeing with you.
The injection of the term "BS" is objectionable, as it stands for a vulgar term. I don't like it, and said so. Now you can try to make something noble out of the use of that term, but a simple apology would probably be more appropriate.
Absolutely, in the shadow of 911 One man with courage stood for this nation and took action. Action that has put this country on an offensive posture against the greatest threat to this world since Nazism. The struggle is nothing less then Good vs. Evil.
1. Why aren't we in bread and soup lines? Answer Economic policies of this President
2. Why haven't we been attacked again in our homeland? National Defense and foreign policy of this President.
For that alone this President resides in history as a great man. As far as future legacy it isn't Afghanistan that makes the difference it is Iraq. The liberal leadership knows this that is why they have attacked it because to back it makes Bush bigger than FDR. Such a shame the liberals have blindly sold out Liberty and Freedom for a perhaps short lived political gain. Slowly the MSM and the Liberals attempt to sing this country back to sleep. What possible excuse can our government give us next time, I mean how many times can you say "Failed to imagine the threat". "Didn't connect the dots"
Oh, I don't know. Liberating 50 million people from tyranny seems to me to be at least a modest accomplishment.
I always loved that quote...
Technically, I never said that to MM, or you. See post #30 for the truth. If YOU took offense, that is your problem, not mine.
Or as Sam Rayburn once said, "Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one."
