So called “compassionate conservatism”
*slaps knee*
You got it!
Poor ol’ George, still got that silver foot in his mouth.
He was playing for the other team all along.
W is and never was a conservative, just another cypher from the ranks of the globalist elite.
Pimping racist country club Republicans patronizing black victimhood... effing piece of garbage and idiot
I do not see him betrothing his daughters to black rioters z but maybe that feminist idiot is self loathing enough to do so
I think you nailed it.
GWB like Obama and Clinton are the worst kind of politician, they are really good at pretending to be something they aren’t....
Clinton was a just male whore who tried to have sex anything that had a vagina and was breathing....
GWB, sold himself as a conservative but was the exact opposite....
Obama was “hold and change” who was a muslim communist...
24 years back to back of those 3 has made it almost impossible to turn the country around....
If Hillary had been elected it would all be over for the USA, it may still be if Trump is defeated, even if he wins in 2020, after 2024 would could go back to where we were......
There’s no question that Lyndon Johnson, despite championing the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and signing it into law, was also a sometime racist and notorious vulgarian who rarely shied away from using the N-word in private. For example, he reportedly referred to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as the “ni*"er bill” in more than one private phone conversation with Senate colleagues. And he reportedly said upon appointing African-American judge Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court, “Son, when I appoint a ni**er to the court, I want everyone to know he’s a ni**er.”
The patriot act begot the 4 year ongoing coup attempt. The day he started promoting that was the turning point for me on W.
The same kind of crap happened when You were President for 8 years. And You let the Democrat mayors and governors get away with it the entire time.
careful George. people might find out you played a part in creating the economic disaster that is social distancing/lockdowns:
Updated 3 May: Albuquerque Journal: Social distancing born in ABQ teen’s science project
By Ollie Reed Jr
Fourteen years ago this month, during the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Indianapolis, Laura Glass, a 15-year-old Albuquerque High sophomore, laid out her plan for slowing the spread of pandemics.
It was very much to the point. Close the schools and keep the kids at home...
But amazingly, and much more significantly, her work motivated research that resulted in the social distancing and self-isolation policies now being used to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
“The inspiration, the sparks came from my daughter,” said Robert J. Glass, a retired Sandia National Laboratories senior scientist. Glass was among those who built on Laura Glass’s project to develop the vital strategies that are employed today...
In an exchange of emails with the Journal, Laura Glass, now 29, declined to be interviewed for this article.
Her father, however, spoke to the Journal by phone from northern Idaho, about 30 miles from the Canadian border, where he now spends part of each year...
Even before that staggering revelation earned Laura Glass third place at the 2006 Intel fair in Indianapolis, it was creating a stir on a much bigger stage.
“On Halloween 2005, NISAC received a call,” Robert Glass said. “Could we prepare a brief for Secretary (Michael) Chertoff of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security?”
The George W. Bush administration, concerned about bioterrorism in the wake of 9/11 and also worried about the next contagious disease outbreak, was looking for a plan to respond to pandemics. The NISAC brief was needed for a Cabinet-level tabletop exercise at the White House.
The question posed, Robert Glass said, was what could be done to avoid disaster if there was no vaccine and limited antiviral supplies...
The refined research suggested that in the case of more intense infections, closures might have to extend beyond schools to workplaces and social situations.
Concerns about the economic and social upheavals caused by insisting people stay at home led to tough opposition.
But after rigorous review and development by more than one agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made social distancing – called Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions, or NPIs – official U.S. policy in February 2007...
“It has been very effective,” Glass said of the approaches inspired by his daughter’s high school science projects. “We would have been in a terrible state if we had not implemented these policies. The death tolls would have been so high. If we had done it sooner, we would have saved more lives.”...
“Anything new is difficult,” he said. “You have to train people to do this well, without freaking out and calling each other names. But (coronavirus) is preparing us to deal more effectively with future pandemics.
“And there will be more.”

2 Jun: Daily Mail: Prof. Neil Ferguson whose grim warnings prompted Boris Johnson to order TOTAL LOCKDOWN admits Sweden may have suppressed Covid-19 to the same level but WITHOUT draconian measures
by Connor Boyd
The professor whose grim warning that 500,000 Brits may die from Covid-19 without action triggered lockdown has admitted Sweden may have suppressed its outbreak as well as Britain - without imposing the draconian measures.
Professor Neil Ferguson, of Imperial College London, revealed he had the ‘greatest respect’ for the Scandinavian nation, which has managed to suffer fewer deaths per capita than the UK.
He made the comments at a House of Lords Science and Technology Committee today during his first public appearance since flouting stay at home rules to have secret trysts with his married mistress last month.
The epidemiologist - dubbed Professor Lockdown - has come under fire for his modelling which predicted half a million Britons could die from Covid-19 and heavily influenced the UK’s decision to rush into a nationwide quarantine...
The UK has a death rate of 575 people per million, while Sweden’s is significantly lower at 436 per million. As well as fewer deaths, Sweden’s GDP actually grew in the first quarter of 2020, suggesting it might avoid the worst of the economic fallout from the crisis...
Professor Ferguson admitted he was stumped as to why Sweden had recorded just 4,000 Covid deaths when some calculations estimated the country would suffer 90,000 without the measures...

“W” was a moron, but so much better than Kerry or Gore.
The fundraisers really took a hit when the never-Cruzers held sway.
Sorry, I can’t buy bush being worse than shrub. Don’t get me wrong, bush gave us taxes, regulations, unlawful immigration, etc., but shrub gave us “islam is a religion of peace”, fisa, patriot act, TSA, and never ending wars.
After his second presidential election win, he chose to push restructuring Social Security through Congress(and failed), instead of a non stop campaign against what Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were already doing to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the entire banking system. By the time mid-term elections came around, nobody won with him, and he lost control of Congress.
One word George: Iraq. As far as bush 1 goes Perot was right.
I have to say as someone present on the
scene at the WTC attacks, the
constant crypto-liberal revision of the
rationale for the Afghan war is pathetic and
unseemly. Looking up at the infernos
I knew 2 seconds after we were at war
with someone or someones.
We still had 50k morons assembling to
protest because the response was
measured vs swift
Whether it’s steeped in trooferism or antiNY
animus it doesn’t matter. You can argue that
these wars were prosecuted poorly with
dumb ROE (Iran should have been leveled
as soon as the first roadside bomb maimed
one of our soldiers) but I’m not lamenting the demise
of Saddam Hussein bin Laden or any of
the creeps we’ve taken out
Whether Iraq secreted their WMDs or not
Qaddafi turned over his real WMD and he was
destabilized by your girl Hillary
Thank you. Great comment.
It’s because they knew they weren’t talking about him. They were talking about us..
Like I said earlier, I stuck by W during his entire presidency, even when his approval numbers tanked, thanks to his listening to Karl Rove’s recommendations to keep above the fray by “acting presidential” and not responding to the harsh criticisms from the left. I often wondered at things he did and constantly reminded myself that he was a far better alternative than his democratic rivals. I even stuck by him after his presidency, even when he started hobnobbing with Bill Clinton but that was about the time my light finally started to come on. What did it for me was his total refusal to criticize Obama’s policies but seems ever ready to stick it to President Trump. Will I feel the same way about Trump and make the same criticisms about him that I’ve made about W? Maybe...but only if I think that he has betrayed us in the same manner that W did. Otherwise, he won’t catch it from my end. I think that you tend to forget that most of us have extremely long memories and are getting tired of having the trust we place in elected officials to be stomped into the ground. Trump is the only one I’ve seen in a long, long time who seems to “remember who brung him to the dance.”
Yes, George W. Bush made sure thousands of young American soldiers died in Iraq. For what? Iraq today is worse than it was before W and his father wasted trillions of dollars and the blood of our children on that useless sand box.
