What would Bush have been without 9-11?
My response to you goes far beyond politics and involves your world view.
As I see it, yYou are looking at the world through the eyes of a child (an extremely immature child)
I think the best description could be that you are a rabid child..... in the sense that you have not a whit of inclination to grow up.
You are at the very center of your world and you have passed judgement on GW Bush and probably most others in your life.
He did not measure up to your infantile fantasies....nor could he (or anyone)
Im sure you can find books in the library that would help you understand your condition, but Im also fairly certain you will not take the time to read or understand them.
However based on the replies to this article (and almost all articles about GW Bush) this condition seems to be rampant on this site and I find it sad .
It is sad because I expect those with liberal utopian fantasies to act like you do. People who remain children no matter how old they get, are at heart liberals.Their world view is based in a false belief that they can perfect the world around them if they just prod the ignorant to act better and do what they want. So they seek to use the government to do just that. Or like you they decide that their leaders are not good enough. It is self centered and self righteous, self involved, and it is a wonderful world view for a 2 year old.
This,however, is a site for conservatives and childishness and conservatism dont mix.
Conservatism requires a general acceptance of the state of mankind and the world that exists and a willingness to open ones eyes to and face reality.
It also requires people to think and question.
You and the others who condemn GW Bush refuse to do this.
Rather than see a real human being that is fallible who took on the mantle of leadership you see some projection of your own psyche.
You could easily be practicing Marxists as you run about pronouncing people Bush bots or Romney bots or Rinos or what have you.
Somehow, the French Revolution also comes to mind and I only ask that you read up on what happened then.
I will stop as I doubt Im getting anywhere in convincing you or others like you of the truth of any of this. This is not the first article about something good President Bush has said or done. And based on the reality I have seen on this site your rabid childishness is not the first or last we have seen either.
Also based on what I have seen I think in all likelihood someday the pain of your life will be too much for you to bare (Ive seen it happen to a lot of people, myself included) You will be unable to remain smug and condescending and self righteous.
Because of your world view, you will find your relationship with others in tatters. I hope if and when that day comes you will not persist in your childish world view (liberals tend to do that) instead I hope you will simply put away your childish views and grow up .....you will also become more conservative at that point.
