For goodness sakes, he's the former President. He has an obligation to speak out against the devastation Democrats have been wreaking and defending his administration's actions. This is the same vanity we are seeing now that we saw during his administration where he refused to defend himself against the Democrats' attacks.

Rush made a good point. The elites of D.C. do not see "much" wrong with our Country. They truly don't think things are that bad.

Bush will never be affected by the evils of Obama. It speaks volumes that he doesn't speak out.

Bush either is being threatened if he does speak out; doesn't really care enough to speak out, or he doesn't think Obama's policies are are as destructive as we believe.

Remember, both Bushes pursued policies that greatly increased the power of the State over the individual. They are Statists at heart. Statist view the State as an inherent instrument of good.

Our Founders rightfully had real hostility towards a powerful central government. Our Founders cherished Liberty. Our Founders knew that government would attract men of evil ambitions and lustful of power.

Paramount in their implementation of our Constitution was the belief that government must severely limited in power. They put in numerous firewalls that held the Statists at bay for well over a hundred years.

Our Founders would be amazed our Republic as lasted this long without needing the "reset" of a revolution.

It can be surmised from various writings that many of our Founders expected ever so often that the people would rise up and put the "fear of the people" in those politicians of mischievous ends. It would have been good if every decade of so, most of Washington was tarred, feathered, and run out of town.
