Bush is a neoabolitionist with delusions of Lincolnesque grandeur as he rides off into the sunset of his miserable presidency. This will be the story he tells his grandchildren, about the time when he and his brave team stood up to the bigots of America, all 71 percent of them, to force the next age of cultural decline upon our future generations.
“The current tsunami of illegal immigrants has caused the biggest demographic change in this country since the slave ships caught a fair wind just off the Azores. The illegal aliens emerged “from the shadows” and have become the clutter in the gutter. Senate Republicans are trying to convince their conservative constituents that those millions of unwashed people demonstrating in the streets were not really illegal aliens but were actually all unemployed Elvis impersonators. This invasion of serape freaks have given us another hyphenated nationality - Vagrant/Americans. Despite the relentless cant about “hardworking” Mexicans, it was the Chinese who built the railroads - and they didn’t sneak into America to do it. The inundation of illegal aliens is motivated by the realization that by sneaking into the United States they will have nothing to lose and everything to steal.”
Very well-written, with a great sense of humor and irony.
Unfortunately, the joke is on the American taxpayers.
You're absolutely right about that, and I've said it numerous times. The duties of what the Bible and traditional theology and philosophy call a "magistrate" are different from the duties of a private individual. When you take public office, you serve the public first, and your own personal preferences must give way.
A private person may turn the other cheek and be nice to his enemies. A person in office must stand up to those enemies if they threaten to undermine his country or his ability to perform his duties. Bush simply doesn't seem to understand that.
I can’t stand George Bush, at least with Clinton I always knew he was a scumbag. Bush is worse he stabbed all of us in the back.
Yet, “they” call us who support the President on many other issues haters of free thinkers.
I was always under the impression censorship is when the government keeps speech down.
And I can't ZOT a thread anyway, I'm not a moderator.
Frankly, I think the name-calling pointed toward the Commander in Chief is fodder for ZOT consideration. Perhaps the AM disagrees. Nevertheless, I'll express my opinion as much as I can in the forum.
I think my record of being an independent thinker on this forum speaks for itself.
We're called that because we don't support the immigration bill. A bill that'll create second class citizens and 12 - 20 million new democrats.
Millions of new, poor, angry dems whose children and grandchildren will "lose the work ethic" as they assimilate into the American underclass.
Do you really want millions and millions of new poor members of the underclass working for two years then collecting social security (disability) benefits for 50 to 60 years?
I read it a different way, I guess.
Saw this posted on here a few days ago...
“For a while now, and really, since shortly after the 2004 election, I have gotten emails from folks who say, “Bush forgot that you have to dance with the one that brung you.” They’ve been sending me that message for so long, on so many different issues, that I suspect Bush feels a little like a girl who is invited to a fancy ball - and proves to be excellent company for most of the night, despite being hated by many of the guests – but manages to fall out of step, at which point she is abandoned on the dance floor and told to find her own way home.

Did he ever question your patriotism, or tell you you were a bad person? No, actually, he didn’t. Go read his remarks in context, instead of looking at one sentence blared at you by the very media you distrust. Be intellectually honest enough to admit that in this immigration controversy there are (sadly) some who are using fear to move their agenda, and there are some (only some, but they hurt us all) who reveal bigotry in their rants. You needn’t be offended if you can remember that there are those “somes” in every group; conservatives have no corner of perfection. You actually do have a choice as to how you receive what you hear, see and read, just as you have a choice as to how you receive a good, that is, with “open” or “closed” heart.

I love this line:
” The Incas and Aztecs were doing very well before the Spaniards got there thank-you-very-much. Culturally, Spain’s most celebrated literary icons are Don Quixote, a deranged horseman in a metal jumpsuit, and Sancho Panza, a simple-minded stooge who served much the same function as Bill Richardson did for Bill Clinton.”
BWAHAHAHAHA....
When is America going to wake up Bush played the fine art of employing Hegelian dialectic
Hearing La Raza should make ones hair standup!
With Jorge unwilling or unable to lay out any coherent reasoning for this disaster of an immigration bill, it leaves people to question his motives based on the facts of Jorge's upbringing and connections. I feel quite strongly that he and congress are expending so much energy on this because it benefits THEM. No other issue, including the GWOT, has received this measure of effort.
Remember BushBots: when Jorge leads all the lemmings over the cliff, he'll be the only one with a golden parachute.
Never said that it was. I just don’t like the Bush bashing that is going on. There are plenty of things that I can support our CIC on.
Please show this thread to you boss, Tony...give him a little briefing on what the internet is and all, so he can understand it.
(I know that he only likes to recieve communications from his inner suckups -- I believe Condi is on the record saying that he must not be upset with a lot of reality -- but he needs to know what is happening out here.)
BTW, WELCOME to Free Republic. We are a Navy family, as I guess that you are as well.
“You’ll catch more flies with honey”
Not in this case. No matter how much honey you put out, the aromatic Matterhorn shitpile of Bush’s domestic policies, with the sole exception of lower taxes, has a lock on every fly for thousands of miles.
I will say something nice about Bush. He is implementing the job he was supposed to do before leaving office. He brilliantly held on to that issue without discussing in much over the past six years.
Time is running out, Clinton did his job, Bush is doing his job. Bush is far from being stupid. He is dedicated to his mission. THAT MISSION being to tear down the US borders to enable the next facet to happen.
Wait and watch until the knot tightens.
It’s not all the hate that bothers me, it’s the hysteria behind it. I haven’t seen such fear and demagogy since... oh, listening to some Democrat hack blame it all on Bush five minutes ago. Same difference.
