Former President George H.W. Bush, who spent a lifetime in public service and as the nation's leader scored a decisive victory over Saddam Hussein but battled a faltering economy, died Friday at age 94. Family spokesman Jim McGrath said Bush died shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife, Barbara Bush. He is survived by five children, including former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. A sixth child died in early childhood. The late former president also is survived by 17 grandchildren.

OK maybe it was a rough comment.
Didn’t even KNOW about this until you told me.
Wow.
Yeah I caught some heat but everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.
Though revering or wishing RIP to a TRAITOR, cause that’s what the @##$ he was, is odd to me.
He did fight in WWII and maybe earlier on he wasn’t a NWO guy.
But that don’t change that he was at the end, that he HATED Trump, and that he ####ed the NRA and lied about raising taxes.
Hope you’re doing well paesano :)
Bush 41 was a good man, but, I blame for David Souder and his passive do nothing country club Republicanism that was responsible for Bill Clinton and Ruth Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. I blame his politics for his son who through the same passive do nothing country club Republicanism gave us Barrack Obama and Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayer. I blame all of these Presidents Bush’s and the Dems for helping to turn our country into a third world toilet and a Dem majority. And the only thing we got that was conservative was tax cuts for rino Republican and gentry libs including the people who own the MSM. Way to go Bushies. Following Reagan we had a solid Republican majority that looked like it would hold for a long time. Now look at where we are! I blame the Bush’s!
But that don’t change that he was at the end, that he HATED Trump, and that he ####ed the NRA and lied about raising taxes.
Bush 41 went along with the media's anti-gun push in general, banning many foreign-built semi-automatic firearms and blazing the trail for Clinton's Assault Weapons Ban. That nasty bit of BATF business at Ruby Ridge is on him, too.
I guess I owe him thanks for opening my eyes to what the federal government really thinks of this nation's citizens.
You’re right.
Maybe the “rot in hell” comment was too harsh.
But i’m conflicted because I HATE TRAITORS!!!
And I didn’t know some more facts regarding Bush and guns that you just told me.
Thanks.
I forgot to mention the gift of David Suter that he gave the country.
I'm good, goombah.
Ya, some indoctrination dies hard.
We Americans are so used to revering Presidents. Some of us now recognize the enemy when we see them. I used to like the Bushes my damn self.
What a goof I was.
And as far as judging somebody goes, I'll judge ANYBODY I want to for their earthly deeds. That getting into heaven thing, I'll leave to others.
#JudgementalismRules
This world could use a little more judgement, you ask me.
So you head on, capisce?
And McCain fought in Vietnam, and Kerry was in Vietnam too, or so I hear.

#DontLetThatFoolYa
I always LOVE your posts! :)
Yeah that stupid comment that God with judge him, not me...
People are judged EVERY DAY.
A lot of them by judges :) And parents, and bosses, and friends and wives etc.
People need to be judged.
Getting rid of any and all judgement has led to the “anything goes” society
I HOPE he rots in hell. I didn’t say I get to make the call :)
you just KILLED HIM!! :)
Er, no pun intended.
You and Bagster and Army Air Corps, among others, Definitely my favorites posters :)
I have my favorite ultra cerebral, intellectual and use words I have to look up FReepers too. But they’re a separate category :)
ciao
LOL
You kill me! :)
Thank you kindly. He’s with Mom, now.

I HOPE he rots in hell. I didn’t say I get to make the call :)
Exactly.
:)
As CIA Director, Vice President, and President, he worked for We the People. We're absolutely qualified (indeed, obligated) to judge his conduct while in office.
The state of his soul a matter for God to sort out.
That’s what I meant to say, rather than the one poster at #3 who condemned him to burn in hell.
We can judge his actions at CIA and as POTUS, but God will the final Judge.
Thank you. I, too, am disturbed by the wish for anyone to rot in hell. It is only by the Grace of God that any of us may hope to avoid rotting in hell.
My Father never considered himself any kind of hero, he said he was just a Soldier who did his job.
From Normandy, to the Bulge, to Linz Austria.
Liberated a few Concentration camps along the way, and couldn’t wait to get back home.
After he died I wrote to the Army and got a copy of his Unit Diary.
The things that were written in there scared the crap out of me.
And that was long after I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps, 68 to 72.
MY FATHER ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE, MY HERO.
I quit alcohol on 1/9/11.
Perhaps you should take a Valium,
or something.
El Shaddai will do as He sees fit.
It isn’t our job to judge his soul; only
his job time here on earth.
May he RIP.
