Things I don’t miss about George W. Bush (Michelle Malkin)
Michelle Malkin ,com ^ | February 9, 2010 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 02/09/2010 1:44:33 PM PST by sickoflibs

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but someone has to do it.

The “Miss Me Yet?” billboard (inspired by Jonathan Maney’s t-shirts) is cute. But let’s not get carried away with nostalgia.

President Bush put America on the proper war footing after 9/11 and deserves much credit for doing so, but he also:

1) joined with open-borders progressives McCain and Kennedy to try to force shamnesty down our throats;

2) massively expanded the federal role in education;

3) championed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement using phony math;

4) kowtowed to the jihadi-enabling Saudis;

5) stocked DHS with incompetents and cronies;

6) pushed Hillarycare for housing;

7) enabled turncoat Arlen Specter;

8. nominated crony Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court;

9) pre-socialized the economy for Obama by embracing TARP, the auto bailouts, the AIG bailout, and in his own words:

“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.” – George W. Bush

No, I don’t miss having a corporate socialist Republican in the White House any more than I like having a corporate socialist Democrat in the White House now.

LOL! Why should I try to get you banned? I don't try to get anyone banned, but getting you banned would be really stupid. Your good for conservatism because you reveal how really dopey you teenaged liberals are.

Nothing you say is intelligent, instructive, logical, or well sourced.

The fact that you hate George W. Bush (and me, because I respect him) doesn't hurt President Bush (or me).

It helps everyone who supports him to read nonsense like yours attacking him. And it hurts you.

And every time you ping your whole support group when you post your nonsense to me, you reveal what a weak sister you really are. You can't fight your battles alone.

Now since I'm obviously not "free" disagree with you, I'll do my best to leave your thread. LOL!

(btw, I'd suggest you do a review of FR rules as well as the principles of conservatism. It might help you stop making a fool of yourself. Or not).

Good post, I was about to say something like that myself.

Our prime enemy inside this country right now is the democrat party, we shouldn't lose sight of that.

Sickolib and I are actually having a rare discussion. Disagreement, but no flaming.

For the record.

Hey buddy...how do? I’m BURIED under snow at the moment...sore from shoveling and aching in places where I never knew I COULD ache.

RE Taking sides: You know what side I’m on, my friend. America’s side. Whatever is best for the Country, THAT is the side I’m on.

Very distressing to see so much animosity out here. Here’s my version of “Hope and Change”... “Hope” we can get it together and “Change” our Country BACK to what it should be (and was).

Don’t want to be part of the generation that let it fall apart, you know? And more and more, it seems like that is exactly what is happening.

I want my country back, and will do whatever is necessary to accomplish that goal before I check out.

As for folks gettimg mad at me...hey, I’m married...I’m USED to it!!!! :^)

LFOD, man. There’s no other way.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah . . .”

The Buck Stops Here.

He was captain of the ship for eight years and is responsible for them - just as Obama is responsible for this past year (and shares blame for the previous 2, being in the Senate and all).

Bush is blameless for everything according to his followers.

Obama is blameless for everything according to his followers.

Not seeing much difference between the two groups from that perspective.

I was just going to reply to you to let you know that I understood that, ohioWfan. I was just stating that generally.

Most of the people here are very good people, like yourself and sickoflibs, but there are a handful who purposely make it miserable (not either of you).

“...Sickolib and I are actually having a rare discussion. Disagreement, but no flaming...”

See!!! There IS “Hope and Change” Haha!!!

Better than fighting allies, brothers...rather have all of us in the same fighting holes, guns facing outwards, you know?

Together, we are Legion.

And the other side’s knees get REAL wobbly when that happens. And THAT makes me smile...

Oh, I don't know.... sickoflibs and at least one of his "posse" have done a pretty good job of making it miserable for me. Not that I mind. They've made me stronger.

But fortunately, they are in a tiny minority of freepers, and I think they know it.

That's why they make so much noise.

How convenient that you failed to put it like this:

Bush is blamed for everything by his detractors

Obama is blamed for everything by his detractors.

So, get off your high-horse.

It was a time of very loose money(people with bad credit could get mortgages and cars with no down payment).

“...Nice to see you NFHale...”

It’s ALWAYS nice to see me! Every morning I wake up, look in the mirror and say that!!! :^)

I’m currently in the throes of snow-bound Cabin Fever and Shoveling-induced Tylenol addiction...

Everyone play nice now.
