This thread is great evidence of why this nation is in a mess and deserves to be in a mess.
The fact that Conservatives are willing to actively willing to foment and encourage BDS after Bush is done with his Extraordinary service to this country is a classic example of the American epidemic of moral evasion. Unwilling to confront the overwhelming reality that it is far too many [not all] conservatives that refused to defend President Bush— rather than himself— that created the super stupid hysteria that is the Obama phenomena.
At some point, this madness will run its course. It will no longer be possible for Bush haters of all stripes to continue their reckless personal conduct reapling reckless results and then saying ‘Well, if it were not for the awful Presidency of George W. Bush, I would not be suffering as I am.”
I have posted ad nauseum as to how Bush’s legacy almost certainly exceeds that of even Reagan and there is little point in reiterating it. Statism does not work. It never will work. The lazy conservatives who will not defend our good President are getting every bit of malfeasance from this government that they deserve. They did this in 2006 promising a reality check and again in 2008 promising a reality check. They will probably do it again in 2010 and 2012.
I personally do not care how long this evasion continues. At some point, people will recognize that President George W. Bush gave extraordinary service not just to the USA but to the entire world.
We had to keep quiet when Bush was running for office. We had to keep quiet while Bush was in office. Now we're supposed to keep on keeping quiet because he's done?
The Bush shills want the floor forever.
