George W. Bush opens new health clinic in Zambia

While former U.S. President George W. Bush faces some often harsh criticism as commander in chief from those who claim he led the nation into unpopular wars and additional criticism from opponents who claim he initiated failed economic policies,he has taken on a new role as an advocate for women's health in Africa. Both he and his wife Laura Bush have recently opened a women's health clinic in Kabwe, Zambia.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush has taken on a new role as an advocate for women's health in Africa. Both he and his wife Laura Bush have recently opened a women's health clinic in Kabwe, Zambia.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - President Bush was in Africa to promote cervical cancer detection and treatment programs for Zambian women, many of whom are living with HIV.

"We care because we believe that to whom much is given, much is required," Bush says. "And those of us, who live in America, live in the most blessed nation ever and therefore when we see suffering, we ought to act."

I hate extremely good works for people who really need the help.

There's nothing worse than that.

Tonight, I shall sup at the table of despair, and snack on the nuts of hopelessness.

I shall spit out the bitter seeds of kindness.

I hate positive people. My contempt for them drips, like bitter venom from a cobra’s jaws, onto the hot desert floor that is my heart.

I'm with you driftdiver. Bush is a good man.

As President, he did a lot of good for us and for others.

By the way, today (Jul 6) is his birthday. I wish him well.

So you backtrack already. There is nothing in THIS private charitable endeavor that suggests ANY government, big or otherwise. Put up or shut up.

>>You big government people do love this...figures. <<

Pleas show what in my post suggests I am for big government or retract your lie.

>>I give enough to charity thank you very much.<<

Based on your vitriol towards charitable works, I sincerely doubt it.

You know what I hate, more than anything? Getting laid soon. For there is no greater despair, than having consummated the act, and knowing that life trends downward from that pinnacle. The act of joy is only to be followed with a hollowness, a shuffling-gaited dead existance, filled with petty defeats and a constant reminder that all is pointless.

So sad that even a thread about doing Gods work from a Christian source descends down into the abyss.

They would be there anyway, no matter WHERE he goes, even if he went there or anywhere else in the world for a long vacation, a$$wipe. And you don’t know if Bush paid for them or the government did, dip$h!t. And even if they were, that doesn’t make it a Big Government operation, idiot.

You got busted, plain and simple and are looking to wriggle out of your lie.
