GEORGE W BUSH has described Bill Clinton, his fellow former American president, as a “brother from another mother” and has given details of his unlikely friendship with the man who in 1992 had denied Bush’s father a second term in the White House.

It's "steroids." Viola!

(That one happens to drive me crazy).

I just don’t believe the practice of criticizing current presidents by former presidents is good in any way. It was an observed and practiced principle for decades. That is congress’ job. Bush did his time.

...but that’d be too simplistic...

Occam's Razor.

I remember when Barbara basically suggested Palin should stay the hell up in Alaska. I think that was the moment I really began to truly, truly despise the whole Bush family. I’d already been extremely vexed over W’s maddening unwillingness to defend himself or his policies, and even more disgusted by his smugness when trying to push through amnesty and maligning the citizen ‘minutemen’ trying to stop the lawless invasion of illegals.

But, it was that interview with Barbara that really did it for me. Ten years ago, I never would have predicted that the sight of a Bush’s face on my tv-screen would elicit the kind of combined anger-and-nausea that I’ve always gotten from the sight of Bill Clinton... but it now does. In spades.

They’re both part of the same crime gang.

That's exactly what there is. The ruling class is trying to wipe out the pesky middle-class with an amnesty bill that gives citizenship to tens of millions of uneducated people. They want people who are easy to manipulate and mold into government surfs.

I never associated the expression with Christianity. (But then, I’m a Catholic.) For years, I never heard anyone say it but black people.

It's not a black thing, it is for Christians and in the Bible.

I will list just a few, but there are so many more.

Proverbs 17:17

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Matthew 18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

1 John 4:20

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Matthew 12:50

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Matthew 25:40

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Romans 12:1-2

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Ever since Tip O’Neil was forced to give into Reagan, the Ivy League Gang and Gang Members, have attempted to make sure the Non-Exempt would never again be grantors.

I wouldn’t want any female relative or friend within ten feet of Bill Clinton.

Why doesn’t Bush call anyone else a “brother from a different mother?”

I really don't have a problem with the friendship between the Bush family and Bill Clinton. It is more of a manifestation of the sheer decency of the Bush family than anything else. Moreover, compared to Barry Soetoro, Bill Clinton was Dwight Eisenhower. I have much, much too else to worry about than the fact that George Herbert Walker Bush, Barbara Bush, and GW Bush are decent to Bill Clinton and have taken him into their family to show love and compassion.

Bill will figuratively stab George and any member of the Bush family in the back without hesitation if and when he thinks it beneficial to the Clinton clan or the Democratic party.

Yes! Public opinion....as to whether what he did was a criminal act not whether he did it...that is known...what you’re trying to state is that what he did was criminal and that he is guilty for this criminal act and I’m trying to find the court case or impeachment trial on this charge and I’m not finding it. Do I feel what he did was criminal? Yes...but was he convicted? No..Bill Clinton is not an enemy...sorry but I respect the office far too much to toss around the term onto people I don’t agree with....enemy should be reserved for true enemies of America

You’re the indicated thumb-sucker, genius.

LOL!

I especially dislike Barbara.

"But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you."

Matthew 5:44

I have come to a conclusion, most Freepers are not followers of Jesus Christ, and could not care a whit about Him.

How are you doing with your relationship with Jesus Christ?

Please respond.
