There is a shrillness to these people who claim to be conservative, but think Bush was the GOP’s own version of The Messiah.

Other than his SC appointments and launching so-called WOT, I keep asking these people to name three things that Bush did to advanced conservatism or were faithful to our Constitution.

They can’t do it so they resort to calling me essentially insane. Doesn’t that have a familiar ring? Does it sound like our own brand of little commies who assert anyone that does not agree them are hicks or insane?

Amazing example of ...
Matthew 25:31 -46

“when you do it to the least of these my brethren ... ye have done it unto me”.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. ... that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Praise the LORD!

Initially I felt Bush might turn out ok, but as the years went on, his true Northeastern fiscal liberalism seeped out.

So many were in love with Bush cause he put on a cowboy hat and had a few photos taken on the ranch mendin barbed wire fences.

It's all a bunch of baloney. His daddy, as well as baby Bush were both born up in the Northeast. He’z no Texan.

Standin in a garage don't make you an automobile....now does it?

If Bush were a true Texan, he’da close those borders down tighter than a drum.

He’da gone through our government and CUT SPENDING, not Increase spending.

Then we had during the election, “The Maverick for Change”.

What a bunch a hog warsh! We lost cause the republican party are a bunch of globalist elites hell bent on shippin everything overseas to appease the corporate elites that helped gett’em in office.

There all a bunch of money grubbin, power happy, soft handed, liberal wussies. The whole bunch of’em.

Here's the answer to the problem.....TERM LIMITS for all congressman and senators.

boom.

Bush deserves a peace prize for what he did for Africa.

Why in heaven's name did you ping me to this post?

I know you are desperate to blame President Bush for all the ills in the world, but if I want to hear that kind of made-up garbage, all I have to do is turn on CNN.

Not interested, mr world. You're too desperate to be credible.

LOL on the Bush isn't a Texan! He moved there when he was 2, was raised there in a tiny house in Midland, married a West Texas woman, lives in Texas, and will probably die in Texas.

Don't you Bush haters realize that your extremism makes you completely lose any modicum of credibility?

btw, term limits are a good idea. Your Bush hatred is bunk.

I can appreciate your view and am open to that.

I do not agree however. I am no man's lackey.

I am no Bush hater, just don't think he was a great leader nor a true conservative.

It's ok for you to disagree.

Question - you seem to be a decent enough fellow. Perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a question...

Why did you feel the need to say that President Bush, raised in Texas, living in Texas and loved in Texas, is not a Texan? What purpose did that serve other than to give a sign that you are desperate to bash him for anything and everything?

If you, and others here would stick to legitimate political differences and not (ridiculous) false personal accusations, then a debate could take place with differing opinions.

When you say things like, Bush isn't a Texan, and make hostile references to his "Daddy" and call him "baby Bush," you make yourself sound like either an angry, irrational fruitloop, a leftist troll, or someone who just escaped from the county home.

Why would you want to do something like that on a forum meant for political discussion?

Feel free not to answer me. But I'm really curious about people who make ridiculous comments about a man of integrity, courage and moral strength that only make them look foolish. Do you WANT to look foolish?

You have your opinion......I have mine.

He was a weak leader and a chameleon conservative.

Sorry, that's just how I feel.

He wants amnesty.....conservatives do not.
He wants a new world order.......workin folks in America like America just as she is.
He grew government larger than any previous president....contrary to conservative beliefs.
His daddy said, read my lips, then turn around and broke his vow to the American middle class....lack of principal.

I'm a conservative and darn tired of our leadership sayin one thing and doing another.

If you trust our government and politicians, that's certainly your prerogative.

I do not.

So can I conclude by that response that you don't have an answer to my question as to why you might want to appear foolish on a political forum by saying things that aren't true? Or can I conclude that you don't mind looking foolish? Perhaps in your next post, you can answer my question about the dopiness of your "not a Texan" accusation.

There are few people more conservative than I, and I will say this in response to your accusations of our honorable 43rd President.......

Your comment about his father and taxes is irrelevant to the discussion. We are discussing the son. Reagan raised taxes too, but I'm quite sure you don't have the same contempt for him. George W. Bush didn't raise taxes.

I disagree with some of his policies in his attempt to reform immigration, but I am familiar enough with the man to know that he did what he did based on his own principles. Disagreeing with your politics doesn't mean a person is unprincipled.

New world order?? Cult stuff. He stood strongly for American sovereignty in front of the UN, in his opposition to the World Court, in his foreign policy overall. That's a loser of an argument.

He did grow the government, and as a conservative I don't like that, but so did Reagan, and I didn't like it then either. The idea of shrinking government, even with a committed small government leader like Reagan, doesn't seem to be a possibility. But in any case, it's not a reason to despise the man.

The one thing you have missed about President Bush is that what he said he would do, he did. I think you're confusing the Republicans in Congress with him. He made it very clear what he stood for when he ran for election and re-election. If you weren't listening, that's not his fault.

I do not "trust our government and politicians" as a general rule, but I do trust President Bush because he earned my trust. It is folly to deny that there are any honest politicians. It is cynical and illogical. You just have to have your eyes open, and examine the people who represent you.

I guess for some of you, it's easier to follow the crowd than to think for yourselves. I prefer to think.

Our taxpayer money. No he doesn't. Africa continues to be a human cesspool of crime, corruption, misery, bloodshed & violence, courtesy of misguided & inept liberal-socialist-communist, welfare-state policies that keep the nations & people of Africa (especially the southern half) enslaved in crime, misery & poverty. The big spending liberal policies have enabled this vicious cycle to continue.

I wish Bush had been as minutely concerned for the devastation & invasion of our country by +30 million illegal aliens, or for allowing a 300% growth of gubmint spending on his watch, or presiding over the demise of the Republican party.

If they awarded peace prizes for people who actually make the world a better place by saving lives and solving difficult problems, then President Bush would have the prize.

But they give them to people like Arafat, Carter and Gore, who do their best to destroy life and peace.

God bless President Bush for what he did for Africa, for America, and for the world.

His prize will be awarded to him, but not here on earth. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant!"

>>So can I conclude by that response that you don't have an answer to my question<<

No, you can conclude that I don't OWE you an answer or owe you anything at all.

I'm not your child......go scold one of them and stop all your sophomoric rose colored ranting and move on your way.

It's a long journey through this life....don't waste it getting upset over compassionate conservatism.

Gezzz.......relax will ya.

Hmmm.........it seems that you're the one that needs to "relax."

All I did was answer your accusations with my opinion, which you did state I had the right to have, didn't you?

And I asked you a question about why you posted things that weren't true, and said you didn't have to answer it either, which you clearly have chosen not to do.

Let me give you some advice, even though I'm clearly not your mother (whew! that's a relief!). There's a really awful person in the White House now, who is genuinely stealing everything conservatives hold dear. He is not there because of George W. Bush, but he is there through deceit, cover-ups, manufactured financial crises by Democrats, and a very large group of gullible Americans.

Let me suggest that you focus all your rage on the Marxist liar who is destroying this country, and let up on the honorable patriot who led us bravely from 2001 to 2009.

Together we might accomplish something. As long as you look backward and focus your anger on a fictitious past and on folks like me who admire President Bush, then you are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Try to join the team, OK? We need all the help we can get. Join us.
