Like most Americans, most conservatives don’t hate him. We agree.
I point out that some who post here do.
I don’t think you can be as vitriolic and disrespectful with your rhetoric as I have seen here, and then turn around as some do and deny the hatred with any credibility.
Again, we agree they are a minority of the American and conservative population.
He has done some great, conservative things.
War leadership, spreading of freedom, tax cuts spurring economic growth, appointments of Roberts and Alito, pro life policies to name some.
Others are problematic.
He didn’t run as a conservative.
He ran on “compassionate conservatism”.
All I can say is, with those watch words as platform, I feel we were fortunate to get as much conservatism as we got.
I will remind that Ronald Reagan was not universally supported by conservatives the longer he was President. The grumbling and dissatisfaction was loud and intense.
Today Reagan is held up as the conservative ICON.
And no, I’m not equating the two men or Presidents.
Just putting some historical perspective on things...
One of the first jobs of leadership is to pick the best folks to execute your policies. Bush fell flat on his face on that one.
