No, the destruction that has been occurring since Reagan is pretty much bipartisan.

I think the First Ladies write a letter to each other. I think it’s a cool thing started with George and Martha Washington.

Both HW and W seem like good guys on a personal level, but they, nor we, cannot tell the difference between themselves and the Clinton or Obamas of this world. Politically, the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas seem to be in the same camp. The only difference is the Bushes are on the right side of the Leftist camp.

Well...it may go further back then that. The killers parents were given amnesty by Reagan and welcomed to the United States by him.

No, I’m saying that the letter was nonpartisan, not bipartisan.

No doubt it’ll be an iPod containing all his favorite speeches, like he gave the Queen of England a few years back.

Amnesty refers to illegal aliens... I thought they came here legally?

I suspect that any note left by Onambla would be polite...but most of all, written by someone else.

Clintons and Bushes are two sides of the same coin, they go way back. They’re practically family.

The first AIDS patient I ever saw working in hospitals was a mechanic, so early in the game we weren’t calling it AIDS yet. And we were all gathering in support and sympathy for him and his beautiful wife and kids. Then the CDC called our hospital with certain facts and guidelines, and it was soon out that he had been trading car repair for “favors” throughout a major midwestern city, and his wife was at risk too.

It was as if the light of prayer and concern continued, but angry thunderclouds had darkened the care unit.

They may be nice people personally, but these leaders have a disease deadly to us. They have all profited by it, secure that disease would target them last, if ever.

“After all, what difference does it make?” Someone should have stepped forward with a sword and cut the dragon’s head off, right there. Before the Queen started laying eggs. ;)

Here’s Obama’s letter:

“I was right about everything but the people failed me. If you need anything, I will be staying with Justin and Sophie in Ottawa. They’re into me. Can’t blame them.”

Oh he will, but Hussein is the kind of person that when writing dots i’s with circles or hearts and uses lots of emojis. Probably uses My Little Pony stationery.

And then the children of the Clinton administration left behind a building full of computer keyboards missing the “W” key. Stunning in comparison.

Wonder what the oobomma children staffers will do when they finally are driven out?

The Bushes are also up to their eyeballs with the Clinton Foundation and have been running a 24/7 moral turpitude laundry for the Clintons, trying to sanitize them. That makes the Bushes the Clintons’ accomplices, one of the best reasons ever for rejecting Jebbie, as we did.
