Thank you. I don’t know what FR has become and I mean that seriously about some of the people here. Yes I love the irreverence and that people can say what they want.

But regarding Bush Sr., first off he’s an incredibly decent man, second he is a bona fide war hero who the NYT once tried to accuse of war crimes for strafing the Japanese in ww2! He lost to Clinton, who I thought FR hates. He absolutely presided over the reunification of Germany and freedom for Eastern Europe when everyone was saying we’d have to agree to keep Germany divided, etc. He led one hell of a campaign to free Kuwait, also against liberal opposition.

I could say more, but putting aside the disgusting insults and ignorance about this aged, ailing former republican president ....

The absurdity of thinking his reception at the White House has something to do with assisting Mitt Romney in Florida, as well as the ridiculous hatred because Mr. Bush even went to the white House and met the current president (who I believe previously awarded him a Medal of Freedom)...

at this point some Freepers have descended into childishness. Not everything that happens in the world revolves around Mitt, Newt, or the cause of the day on FR.

And this was the vast majority of posts. I had to worry about insulting Freepers who were calling former President Bush a traitor, murderer, wishing him to hell, calling him evil.

I remember a few years ago Sean Hannity got pissed at people on FR calling him dumb (which basically he is) so he started referring to FR as a bunch of extremists and nuts.

At the time when he said that I knew Sean H was being petty and I felt it was outrageous to place labels like that on the great people here.

But when I see many posts crazily calling old President Bush the most vile things, simply because he met with the current president, I see these Freepers as an embarrassment.

I’ll probably get flamed from several directions, but from what I read on this thread, it reminds me of a pack of feral dogs running free under the cover of darkness. WTH is going on?? With this type of conservative “support”, Gore and Kerry would have handily won the prior two CY2000s presidential elections with disastrous results!! This thread does NOT represent the usual FR I’ve been associated with in the past...

Bush Sr. hated Reagan’s ideas and sought to undo everything Reagan accomplished. His no taxes lie was the most obvious. The Bush arm of the GOP is RINO central and always has been. Just because the Bush men are decent in the realm of their personal interaction with their families does not translate to their behavior toward the well being of the USA. They have completely abandoned faith to our laws and constitution in their support of their “new world order. May God forgive them for what they have wrought upon the wonderful people of this country.
