President George Bush is my hero

He WAS my hero. The damage that will be done to this country by this BS amnesty will outweigh ALL the modest good he has done in his entire presidency.

I strenously disagree with him on immigration, but his position on that issue has been clear to me since 2000. I admit he hasn't made it a priority, at least until he didn't face reelection.

Good piece, thanks for posting.

[NordP]

lol - good one

[SJackson]

He’s a damn sight better than J. F’n Kerry or AlGore!

Yes he is. And that's the choice I faced in 2000 and 2004, so I've no regrets. Still, I'll complain about his failings which are many.

[pgobrien]

Man, did you nail THAT!
Ditto.

[SJackson]

Can’t believe it. A positive article on President Bush. What is wrong with her?

Funny, I read it in print and it was impossible to find on the net. As you'll note from the link, I used a google cache, the publication doesn't have it, at least i couldn't find it.

When it comes to the WOT and Pro-Life issues.....President Bush gets it. But, I don’t know what he is thinking on other issues.

[Albion Wilde]

bump.

As evidenced in the anti-Bush immigration reform threads

I know it's a waste trying to make this point with you, as we have been over this ground before. But it's NOT immigration reform. It's amnesty for illegal aliens. Reform would be fixing our LEGAL immigration laws so that the educated and skilled people that are waiting years to get into the US and assimilate and become productive citizens could actually get in. That's what really needs reforming.

This image says it all.

Like Glenn says, they are all going in the same direction. Either we take a bullet train or the SST. Either way, you are screwed.

Get out of line.

Sincerity is meaningless when it comes to policy and its effects. Clinton is a “sincere liar.”

[SJackson]

Disagree as I do with President Bush on our illegal situation; I still feel we have been blessed to have this man as our President, especially during this time in world history....Many good people steer clear of this job for good reason. Then, to be constantly bombarded with such hatred.... I don't know how the man does it.... Thank you for posting this SJ.

I disagree with him a lot to.

To add to the discussion, I think I'd have preferred McCain in 2000.

Yes, we would have had McCain-Feingold under some name, but we do anyway.

We wouldn't have had tax cuts, but they're temporary, and McCain isn't stupid, post 9/11 that might have changed.

It's difficult to replay these things, but I think McCain would have been a better wartime CIC.

They know the real and present danger global terrorism is, and not just because they're privy to intelligence we're not. They, and any of us who have lived or spent ample time in the region, know we're dealing with a mentality and an insidious and pervasive many-headed hydra that obviously most Americans can't and don't want to understand.

So true!

You're right.

[Logical me]

The damage was actually done for the past 30 years. Bush made the same mistake by not enforcing current immigration laws and built the fence with expanded Border Patrol which would have worked. It's interesting how the immigration bill was conceived and rammed through the Senate and House by the RATS. If Bush wakes up and vetoes this next time, will that change any minds. I doubt it. The hatred against Bush is out of control. Wait until 2008 when the RATS get the Presidency.

[NordP]

Sorry my FRiend...can’t follow you down the McCain path.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

What a jerk. I supported him whole heartedly more than you possibly EVER could have. Until NOW. You have no idea.

I never considered him a hero - I know too many people who knew him in his younger days, but I did consider him a damn sight better than Governor Richards. Little did I know he'd end up in the White House.

Foolishness - While I don't agree with him immigration issue (in total) - I respect the man for standing on what he believes in -

He see's the current system as broken...and believes it needs to be addressed - Not simply pushed down the road further....where other POTUS won't take on the issue because of fear....(just like Soc Sec reform). Hell even the great Ronald Reagan turned tail / flip flopped and moved away from private accounts only to increase FICA taxes to boot (thus burdening another complete generation to the biggest wealth stealing scheme the world knows...Soc Sec).

I don't agree with President GWB on the issue of immigration but he is still a da*m fine man, one hell of a CinC (who is literally dragging the world in to understanding the need to face our enemies in this WOT....at a tremendous cost to himself).

In a thriving Limited Republic our party has to allow room for disagreement on issues. The notion that we all must be cookie-cutouts is dangerous and intellectually silly.

GWB is a leader....They are few and far between in reality...and not usually liked all that well all the time....because they are willing to make decisions based on what they think is best.....come hell or high-water.

I respect it.
