GEORGE H. W. BUSH: I HAVE "MELLOWED" ON GAY MARRIAGE
The Huffington Post ^ | 11-5-15 | Sam Levine

Posted on 11/10/2015 10:10:03 AM PST by Alfred O. Bama

Former President George H.W. Bush has moderated his views on same-sex marriage since seeking the White House, according to a new biography.

Bush said in his audio diary before his 1988 presidential campaign that Americans "didn't want same-sex marriage codified," according to The New York Times. But after he served as an official witness at a 2013 same-sex wedding, he sent his biographer, Jon Meacham, a note to clarify that his views had changed....

Vent your blasphemous hatred somewhere else. You should be ashamed, not to mention, banned.

A typical old man losing his wits. He has “mellowed” about those things which are vile and he bad-mouths those who served admirably in his administration.

I guess I should count my blessings. After all, G.H.W. Bush made it past ninety before he became a babbling idiot whereas James Earl Carter lost his marbles before turning fifty.

Having removed the curse,I fully agree with the rest of this post:

GEORGE H. W. BUSH: I HAVE “MELLOWED” ON GAY MARRIAGE

It’s your squishyness and moral flexibility that has wrecked the nation in the first place. It is your utter fecklessness and your refusal to see the Democrats as evil that has caused us to reach this unhappy position we now inhabit.

You wrecked the Reagan Revolution, and you CREATED the Bill Clinton phenomena. You were a horrible President; The Worst Mistake Reagan ever made.

I wish I had never heard of you, and I hate you for the fact that I had to campaign for your sorry @$$ because of your willful stupidity in dealing with the Democrats. You were a lost cause, and everything about you has turned out to be just wrong. From your Abortion supporting wife, to your Country Club mannerisms, to your utter puppy dog like love of Bill Clinton, the Nation simply cannot get far enough away from the milquetoast legacy of George Herbert Walker Born-with-a-Silver-Spoon-in-his-mouth Bush.

Traitor to his constituency to the very last.

Burn in hell, GHWB.
Just go burn in hell.

And take your whole damned clan with you. Has there ever been any aspect of conservatism you haven’t sold out on? Now you chummy up to depravity and perversion.

I spit on you, you bastard!

“Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality.” — President Ronald Reagan, July 12, 1984

Most of us know what we did when young was wrong. We become less mellow. All these politcos ‘evolve’ somehow. I think they just don’t give a rip.

Senility’s not so bad. It keeps the blood pressure down because, as I’m finding, the older I get, the less I care about what other people do. Just don’t do it on my lawn.

I suspect that this latest liberalism represents GHWB’s views for many years now.

He is a politician. I say that not as a compliment. He hates to be seen as taking the uncool side of any issue.
