Bush, to my view, was a mixed bag.
Someone sent me this recently and I thought it worth keeping, so now I can post it to you - you can see where this is relevant to the current situation not just defense against foreign invasion:
In WWII, Japan’s highest ranking naval officer was Isoruku Yamamoto. Although he was Japanese, and his loyalties were unquestionably with The Empire, he studied for many years in America, graduating from Harvard University. There is an oft-repeated (and sometimes disputed) quote attributed to him regarding the possibility of any nation taking a war to American soil:
“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
Here is why he was correct:
America’s Hunters. The World’s Largest Army.
The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That’s great, considering there were over 600,000 hunters that got permits this year.
Allow me to restate that number.
Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to keep the deer population under control.
But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan’s 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
And that is just FOUR states.
The total population of registered hunters in America today ranges from 23 million to 43.7 million individuals. (Based on annual data provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.) As long as the American Hunter retains his right to Bear Arms, America will forever be safe from foreign invasion of troops.
Hunting - it’s not just a way to fill the freezer. It’s a matter of national security.
Trusting any politician is something that I cannot bring myself to do. They start out on the Right and before you know it they are acting as if they were born on the Left.
Now, if you can snuggle up to someone like that then more power to you. I refuse to trust backstabbers and I refuse to let bygones be bygones when it comes to backstabbers. Now apparently that bothers you. That’s fine with me.
Still, I’ll wish you a Merry Christmas and mean what I say.
Laz, what you would have is the producers of the world against the parasites, the producers would win every time

not if the ruling class won’t allow it.
Join your local Democrat Party.
I’m serious. First, you will learn who is doing what where.
Then, you will be able to shift things in oh-so-subtle ways.
You can decide if you want to reform the Democrats in your midst, or run them off a cliff.
Operation Hyper-Chaos.
Allow? You say “Allow” to an American? Yeah, we have a bunch of spoiled brats and we have a bunch of sleeping fools, but they are still Americans and their DNA won’t accept “Allow”
There are now very effective non-lethal counters to this form of resistance. From the microwave-emitter to much-more-potent pepper-sprays to the sound-caster, there are ways to effectively break up a demonstration without actually killing or maiming people, and thusly the government garners no ‘Kent State’-style negative publicity, with the concurrent changing of the public’s mood.

The horrors of George Orwell’s “1984” are now technologically possible. the government has the will and the means to enforce what is deemed “proper” thoughts. They’ve already taken the first step of implementing...hate crime laws...these are in fact “thought crimes” since these laws punish the thoughts of the person rather than the action of the person.
The government forces can go one block at a time with crushing force. They would not take on everyone at once.
This might be true. For a while.
I invite you to ponder the possible consequences of such a course of action.
Questions to consider:
1. Would it be possible to keep the story bottled up tight, or would there be inevitable leaks?
2. What would the likely reaction of the American public be to such a show of force? Would it be supported initially? As it proceeded to more and more blocks?
3. What is the probability that non-local friends or relatives of those in the subdued blocks (or just those unwilling to sit still for this naked aggression) would strongly disagree with this course of action, and indeed, would take significant and personal offense to it?
4. What are the chances that some of those who took offense to the destruction of their friends, family and fellow Americans might have, in their personal storehouse of knowledge, accurate information as to where some of those ordering this activity, and those following those orders, make their residence? Or their immediate and not-so-immediate families?
5. What is the probability that those same bureaucrats, agents, enablers and their families can be completely protected 24 hours a day, every day, from now on?
I agree with B4Ranch - those that would visit violence upon the American people should not be surprised to have violence visited upon them in return.
Just some things to ponder.
Be careful Cwazy Dear One.
The walls have ears and the walls’ ears have ears.
May God guide all those who Know Him to do the right thing at the right time in all situations.
Regardless of the consequences.
It completely changed her perspective on the "gun culture". Our relationship changed from "you have alot of guns, almost too many" to "do we have enough ammo and spare parts for all of them in case the time comes that we need to them?"
Anyways.....
I've got my list. When the ballon goes up, hopefully everyone stops being John Galt, and starts being Henry Bowman.
Merry Christmas FRiends....and lets hope the Prince of Peace can avert CW2 and cure the insanity of liberalism and the curse socialism.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Forgot to ping you.
Federal government had NOTHING to do with education until fairly recently.
You might enjoy this vanity / editorial. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
But...Whether collectivist education is ruled by the federal, state, or local government it is still collectivist. The government gun is still aimed at the heads of the parents, children, and taxpayers.
Even if school collectives were the size of a suburban subdivision, they would still be a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination.
Democrats In Name Only.
Remember to SMILE. Be pleasant. No really, I'm serious.
As long as you speak in measured tones, you can say and do anything. They do. They'll stab in you in the back, or even right in the front, and act as if it is YOU that is the problem, because you got "hot" about getting cut.
So Dino's to be, Dino's in waiting, just SMILE, outwardly telegraphing agreeableness in all outward clues.
Study body language. Work on having friendly, open, facial expressions. (be subtle, less is more).
What's to worry? Isn't Barack the (half) magic half-Negro in charge now? He rules!
[ok, ok, i haven't yet figured out where we're going to hide the barf bags, until we get used to smiling to the tune of mmhm, mmmhm, mmmmM]
I’m a Dino fan. I like Dean martin.
He make a better logo.
