I agree .. I take great offense at that disrespectful mockery of our President . No matter what, he’s our President and Commander in Chief in time of a complex and vicious war, and deserves respect.
It was part of his portfolio as Texas governor and presidential candidate through two elections that he won.
Bottom line: he could’ve taken the safe route and kicked it down the road to another president, to let it multiply and get more fractious, risky and out of control. Instead, he raised it and brought it to the front burner .. knowing it was critical, and that he’d be damned by one invested group or the other.
People seem to forget that the problem isn’t here because he raised it ... it’s irrefutably been here.
You're right .. he's not to blame for the immigration problem and I understand he's trying to fix it
I just think he's going about it all the wrong way
I admire your loyalty..
but make no mistake- the man who has been brave enough to stand up to the terrorists, and stay strong on Iraq with no timeline- is the same man dealing with this issue.
He does not make decisions based on fear of investigations......
He wants open borders for commerce and labor.
Just take a look at the European Union. A good look.
The people who want it are politicians and big business..those against it, are the common people.
While I admire some things about President Bush, I don’t give or take my support based on being a fan or liking someone. I do it based on the issue. While I am constantly accused of being emotional (LOL!) it is actually the opposite.
I don’t hate Bush, I am issue based, not fan-based.
I didn’t want to believe that President Bush was really wanting a North American Union either.
It took months of reading, research, meetings, converstaions with people high up, etc.....and I finally just couldn’t deny it or defend it any more.
All the reactions I am getting from y’all are reactions that I, myself, had at one time also.....
I understand, and am very patient. All I really seek is the truth and to share it.. but I am willing to stick it out, and take the lumps if I have to. I believe that in the long run- the intelligence of FREEPers will win out. They will seek the truth and facts.
I am not trying to sound condescenging, I am trying to convey to you that I understand how you feel and what you think— because I have been there....
even long after I knew the truth, I had a hard time talking about it.... mostly because of our troops in harms way...
But our sovereignty is at grave stake here.
It may sound harsh- but I can swallow deaths of Americans easier than I can swallow the death of America.
While I agree that he is the president and deserves our respect, I suggest that that is a 2 way street. I don't take kindly to being called names by him. We could also use your above statement to relate to Social Security reform. Why did he abandon that when the Democrats protested? Now when his base protests he calls us names.
