I’m not going to apologize for my objection here. The last thing I want to do is debate this; I don’t have the time or energy right now.
The fact is that I cannot condone a manic defense (old style respect) of someone so many hold up to be Conservative (he’s not) who’s content to sit on the sidelines and watch the country devolve into a Constitutional crisis of his successor’s own making (including his own contributions as well).
Conservatives are lacking leadership in this country and his inaction/silence condones his successor’s actions. I’ve quoted his own words at FR prior that state as much (he just doesn’t ‘believe in it’).
Condoning the Progressive actions of this Puppet by silence and inaction are itself Progressive. Period. An argument to the contrary is emotional, not logical.
On that basis, it automatically disqualifies any future Bush from that office (the article, IMHO, is written to lay the framework for Jeb running in 2016).
I’m also not getting into WMDs...I’m content with letting historians of another generation work that out.
