Unlike many women, Laura Bush deferred to her husband in setting policy. As you know, George Bush was the most pro-life president we have ever had. He also stood up for the sanctity of marriage.
Mrs. Bush confined herself to promoting the rights of Afghan women, working for literacy, and representing this nation with dignity.
Her opinions are her own, as were those of Dick Cheney, who is assumed to have supported gay marriage rights. Are you going to call him a fraud as well?
Perhaps it’s hard for you to understand, but many women do not agree 100% with their husbands. It’s not hard for me to understand why you don’t like Sanity Island.
Looks like the BDS sufferers are out in force

There can be no disagreement there. The sight of thuggish men beating burka clad women with sticks in Afghanistan, still rankles in this corner. I would however like to offer a theory which has been mentioned on the Rush Limbaugh show. I am taking a liberty, but will try to be as accurate as I can.
Mr Limbaugh warned of the blandishments of polite and affable liberals. He said that he almost got caught once. There is within most people an inner desire to be liked. There seems to be a temporary satisfaction in gaining their approbation. Afterward, some conservatives may realise they were used. Mrs Bush is a lovely lady and deserves credit for bringing up two daughters, a challenging task, as I myself well know.
I ask myself if she wanted to be liked by persons, who may well have steered clear of vitriol against her. That vitriol was reserved for her husband. The liberals may have been smart. They may have sensed a public outrage, if they tried their hateful spin on the then First Lady.
We know that conservative after conservative has tempered their conservatism after being in close contact with liberals. So called conservatives on the MSM being now in good graces.
One can only imagine the steely resolve of Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin. See the way Elizabeth Hasselback has been literally stomped into conformity on that hateful show- The View. Limbaugh has warned again and again, not to try to be liked by liberals. A heavy price will be paid for this.
No amount of ‘good’ that FL Bush did erases the evil in her heart and if she is pro abortion and depraved behavior, that is evil in the highest degree; perhaps it is hard for you to understand that.
Reagan was the most pro-life President we had by the way. President Bush was a good man but he dropped the ball in his 2nd term. Why? Who did he lay his head next to each night? Do you honestly believe she didn’t insert her thoughts in his policy making.
I just despise phoniness and feel completely deceived because whether elected or not, she was a role model. Why subject the nation to her ‘opinions’ now?
I agree with your statement. Laura Bush served her time as First Lady with dignity and did not interject her opinions or become an activist a la Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama.
