After leaving office, he could tend graves of fallen soldiers
In a recent column I speculated on President Bush's post-White House plans. What should he do with himself?
Alice Collins of Oak Lawn has an idea.
"Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, in the wind and snow of winter and the heat and humidity of summer, let him tend to the graves of the almost 4,000 men and women who have given their lives in the debacle of Iraq. They honored their oaths, obeyed their commander-in-chief and sacrificed their lives of promise to a lying, unprincipled warmonger.
"He can begin at the grave of my grandson, Lcpl Jonathan W. Collins, killed in action on 8/8/2004."
Amen.
Marine Lance Cpl. Jonathan Collins of Crystal Lake was killed by enemy fire in the Al Anbar province of Iraq in the summer of 2004. He was 19.
Nineteen. You're supposed to be attending college and going to football games and meeting girls and dreaming about your future when you're 19.
Access tributes to Jonathan and other soldiers at fallenheroesmemorial.com. It's impossible to read the comments from friends and relatives and loved ones without feeling your heart get so heavy you can barely breathe.

President Bush could do this, and people like her would be upset her wasn't there for three hundred and sixty-six days.
Why don’t these people just shut up? They haven’t had the first clue as to what they’ve been talking about for the last four years.
President Bush will be with the big boys working to solve major problems like the fact there are murderously insane people that drool with the desire to demolish the civilized world and are willing to stop at nothing to accomplish their mentally ill goals. The Islamofacists cannot be appeased, lady.
This country needs to be thinned-out, with many being sent to Cuba, Venezuela and of course, China. NEVER to return.
Let the libs ask Clinton to tend the graves of one million Rwandans, as well as the 2,000 air bombing victims of the unjust Kosovo War, and the 3,000 victims of 9/11.
People like that grandmother need their head examined. Grief doesn’t explain Bush Derangement Syndrome like that.
People like these are morons, and worse. This lady and others like her are an insult to the memory of their cherished lost. They are self-absorbed children who want others to take responsibility so they need not. Their lost ones were so much more worthy and so much more adult and responsible than these jerks they left behind. They are pitiable, but in truth they make me sick.
I sympathize for your loss, but blaming the President for what murderous pseudo-religious, sexually-repressed thugs did is dishonoring your grandson's sacrifice.
Richy is the biggest p*ssy in Chicago. He thinks he is a funny, clever dude, but he comes across as a complete idiot. He also wrote an article after Katrina touting Boussard, remember him:
“The president of a Louisiana parish tearfully told a national TV audience the heartbreaking story of a coworker whose mother was left to die in a flooded nursing home days after Hurricane Katrina immobilized New Orleans – but, as it turns out, the story isn’t true.”

And Roeper still defending his story even after he found out it was false.

What a worthless dumb*ss Richy is.

Collins needs to visit the graves of the 2000 people who died in the attack on the WTC. She might get a perspective as to who started the war and why we need to fight back.
Grow up, your child did.
Ms. Collins is being the unwitting pawn of the Left and its’ mouthpiece Richard Roeper while still grieving the loss of her grandson. It is those like Roeper that prey on folks like Alice. Glad his email was published, because I have a few thoughts for him.
Too bad Ms. Collins doesn’t understand that her wonderful grandson died in a noble way for the freedom of a once oppressed people and against our enemies.
God rest her grandson. And give comfort to Alice that she may awake to what they are doing to her.
With the possible exception of the term 'murderous', that's exactly what I think of liberal social engineers!
You know, the best way to reply to Mr. Roeper is to give him the benefit of the doubt. Tell him how grateful you are that he recognizes the cost our soldiers have paid to protect our freedom, and that men and women like them are willing to fight terrorism.
It’s probably not at all what he (Mr. Roeper) meant to write, but your/our interpreting it that way will gall him no end lol.
Well, you have a point there, too. No joke.
God, once again I ask you:
Gene Siskel is dead. Rich Roeper is alive. Can we make a little deal?
Those countries need those people where they are. They are effectively "operatives" of those countries.
