In addition to working tirelessly with our brave military and intel, 24/7, after 9/11 to keep yours and my butt thankfully free of another catastrophic attack or beheading, here’s what else he managed to accomplish through all those years of tense, unrelenting wartime pressure, much of with a vicious and obstructionist Democrat Congress and despicable media.

“Indeed, Bush arguably did more to advance conservative priorities than any president that came before him. Consider a few examples:

TAX CUTS. Bush enacted the largest tax cuts in history — and unlike my personal hero, Ronald Reagan, he never signed a major tax increase into law.

JUDGES. Bush has the best record on judges of any Republican president in memory – his appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito will be judged favorably over time compared to Justices Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O’Connor, David Souter and John Paul Stevens (all put on the high court by Republican presidents).

FREE TRADE. Bush enacted free-trade agreements with 17 nations, more than any president in history.

HEALTH CARE. Bush created Health Savings Accounts – the most important free-market health-care reform in a generation. And he courageously stood up to Congressional Democrats when they sought to use the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to nationalize health care — and defeated their efforts.

SCHOOL CHOICE. Bush won a Supreme Court ruling declaring school vouchers constitutional and enacted the nation’s first school-choice program in the District of Columbia.

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE. Bush was the most pro-life president in history, securing passage of the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. And Bush steadfastly refused to fund the destruction of human embryos for research — and was vindicated by the scientific breakthroughs that followed. No president did more to protect the sanctity of unborn life.

NATIONAL DEFENSE. Bush increased defense spending by nearly 73 percent, more than even Ronald Reagan, and the largest increase since the Truman administration.

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. Bush defended American sovereignty with an act that was virtually unprecedented – he unsigned a treaty, the Rome Statute, creating the International Criminal Court.

The fact that you refuse to acknowledge the peace and security of those days and real achievements, due to Pres. Bush’s priorities and principles, does not diminish the reality of them .. especially our safety, which is every Potus’ #1 duty.

How safe and peaceful do you feel these days? How many of Pres. Bush’s sensible conservative policies and vital security measures have been personally and purposely decimated by the current resident, putting us at historic risk in every area of our lives?

It’s simply petty, small and below-the-belt to look back and revise history. Just compare those days to these, and think about your picky expectations for perfection and omission of priorities, then look in the mirror and tell me how you measure up or what human ever could.

At least be thankful to him that the major city near you wasn’t bombed by terrorists .. don’t hold your breath for what’s coming.

Thank God for Pres. Bush. Right man .. right time. God bless & protect us all.
