Another AmBush

Bush needs to lick that calf over again.

Outrageous injury desperately in search of an insult.

Goodness, President Bush is nearly as all powerful as the Mossad.

Let the Bush-bashing begin again on FR! Whine on

Let the Bush-bashing begin again on FR! Whine on

Is that all you can say? Whine on? What about defending Bush? What about commenting on his action in regards to airline pilots being able to arm themselves? I guess it is easier to call people whiners than to debate issues with them.

Once again, Bush gives an inch and takes a mile.

I do not think it wrong when we think our President has done something wrong to critisize him. Unlike the Demorats we don't support everything, right or wrong.

That's odd, I don't remember President Bush saying anything about the issue. I do recall the senate discussing it. And since it would be a change in the law the Congress would have to start the process.

What are you complaining about?

God Save America (Please)

Dearie, I don't have to debate with you. Your comments just illustrated my point.

AmBushed? Cute, but quite unfair. Think about what you are talking about. I can't remember the last time a gun was smuggled on board an airplane. Somebody needs to explain to me what good it would do to have a gun in the cockpit. It would have prevented the pilots from having their throats slit with box-cutters? The sad truth is no it wouldn't. If you make the cock-pit completely unaccessible, there is no need for a gun. By the way, I haven't heard anywhere that President Bush has told all these pilots that they can't own personal guns. This is not about the right to bear arms, be clear on that. It is about being allowed to carry a gun at 32,000 feet in a tube that, if punctured , has a real good chance of going down anyway. I'm not sure how you people have turned this into a cry of "Bush is turning on us again" but I think it is pretty sad. With concervatives like this, who needs democrats...

It is about being allowed to carry a gun at 32,000 feet in a tube that, if punctured , has a real good chance of going down anyway.

That only happens on tv and movies, and is far from accurate. A commercial jetliner isn't airtight like the space shuttle: there's holes all over the thing, and one tiny addition will not dramatically depressurize the cabin.

The are two Bills before Congress to arm the Pilots. They have hundreds of sponsors. Probably all Republican although I heard that Zell Miller is supporting one of the Bills. Let's see how the dems try to weasel out of voting yes for the Bills and see if Bush signs it. If and when he doesn't sign it, then and only then will I criticize Bush on this subject.

Congress is going to overrule gun-grabber ex-BATF boss John MaGaw and his boss George W Bush and allow pilots to carry. Congress is going to pass this with massive DemocRAT support. This decision puts Bush to the LEFT of most 'RATs. Who is Bush pandering to?

OK, Let's just say someone taking pot-shots down a long tube filled with people, at a guy who only has a razor blade...The point is the same

The point is the same.

What, that guns can kill? Well DUH! They could kill if fired into a crowd back in 1776, too, you know. The Framers STILL wrote the 2nd Amendment VERY purposefully, even knowing that there were dangerous people, uncaring people, and mentally unstable people in the world (they had the French back then, hehe). The truth is that if ANYONE (marshalls, pilots, passengers) were allowed to responsibly carry on airplanes, 9-11 would never have happened. Yes, the Muslims would have had guns, too. So what? Guns have been used in hijackings for decades. If the odds were evened, so to speak, it wouldn't happen nearly as often.

Recall: "An armed society is a polite society", and even Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, 1941 "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

Since I agree with most of what you say, but since your tone was confrontational, I'm assuming you meant to address this to Starmaker perhaps?

In spite of the fact that airline pilots are among the most trusted and capable people in the nation and in spite of the fact that they are already responsible for the safety of thousands of people, George W. Bush does not trust them to carry pistols into the cockpits. Instead, in the event of another hijacking, Bush would scramble a fighter jet to shoot down the commercial plane.

Firstly if truly the "most trusted and capable people in the nation",the airline pilots are going to have to be allowed to bypass the public security checkpoints,especially if they are carrying a firearm.

If you look at Bush's domestic agenda, it is Clinton Plus. Show any politically aware person Bush's actions in office and ask them the political affiliation of that unamed President. Most would say this domestic agendia is that of a liberal democrat president.

What about defending Bush?

There's not a tinkers d*mn worth of difference between GWB and Clinton/Gore/Democrats, and the following articles prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt::

1. Tokyo irked by US stance on Kyoto............(President George Bush saying the US will not ratify the protocol) [Sounds like Bush is trying to be just like Al Gore!]

2. AIDs fear as Bush blocks sex lessons...............(President George W. Bush is blocking an international drive to provide teenage sex education because of his belief in chastity before marriage) [Who'da thought GWB would act sooooo much the Democrat?]

3. Powell confirms United States to pull out of treaty creating international criminal court...........(George Bush fired a shot across the bow of the United Nations Monday, when he ordered Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton to withdraw the signature of the U.S. from the treaty which created the International Criminal Court.) [GWB, creating the One World Order].

4. White House reverses [decades old] stand on right to bear arms ......... (told the Supreme Court for the first time late Monday that the Constitution "broadly protects the rights of individuals" to own firearms.) [Right out of the Democrat handbook!]

5. U.S. PUSHING PRO-FAMILY STANCE AT CHILDREN S SUMMIT...........(U.S. delegation, stood firm in private meetings Wednesday in the face of strong European objections to U.S. positions such as abortion and redefinition of the family. [Doesn't this sound like something Gore would have done? The nerve of GWB!].

6. Bush Pushes Stiffer Welfare Rules............("The heart of all these proposals is a simple commitment to return an ethic of work as an important part of American life," he said.) [Shades of Clinton, it appears].

7.Bush Signs Border Security Law (no amnesty!)............"We must know what our visitors are doing, and when they leave," he said

We wasted time and effort with the election fight in Florida. Gore could be President today, the country wouldn't have the specter of that election hanging over our heads, and ALL THE ABOVE WOULD STILL HAVE HAPPENED.

Or so the legions of Bush Bashers would have you believe. Perhaps they are just disrupters.
