Former President George H.W. Bush, who spent a lifetime in public service and as the nation's leader scored a decisive victory over Saddam Hussein but battled a faltering economy, died Friday at age 94. Family spokesman Jim McGrath said Bush died shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife, Barbara Bush. He is survived by five children, including former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. A sixth child died in early childhood. The late former president also is survived by 17 grandchildren.

I like xanax and wine :)
I don’t recall saying “He ShalT Burn in Hell” :)
That you and your buddies telling me that.
People get JUDGED all the time on earth for their earthly doings.
That’s what parents are for, good teachers, real judges, etc.
I DON’T APOLOGIZE AT ALL FOR WHAT I WROTE.
Not
One
Single
Word.
Enjoy the weekend.
Same can be said of W. He got played like a fiddle, being denigrated/lambasted daily, and said nothing. He gave us the Obummer filth.
My bad. I voted the both of them, twice.
God WILL be the final judge regarding Heaven and Hell.
Of that there is no doubt.
But dems are the ones who are afraid to judge people’s action here and have them accountable for those actions that are bad.
We are the side that believes there are certain absolutes.
And bush I was a POS NWO, gun taking, Trump hating b.tch
He was asked to serve his country and he did.
Then he became a traitor years later.
ciao
You might want to revisit your Post #3,

Looking back, I don't think any of the men - not just my uncles, but other adult males who had seen the elephant - ever wanted to be referred to as a hero. I particularly remember one of them laughing and drawing out the word "no" in a most self-deprecating way when the word "hero" was used.
I didn't want to take anything way from GHWB, but he was hardly unique.
Jimmy Carter is also 94
I am not a great fan of Bush 41.
I admired his service in WWII and as his service as a bureaucrat.
You’re right, that his brand of milquetoast politics was not helpful. He didn’t believe in Reagan’s supply-side economics and was a believer in the “New World Order” whereby the public was reduced to peasants to be ruled over by the elites.
He was part of the “nice” cabal, who would never deign to get dirty in politics. The democRATS in congress ate his lunch repeatedly.
Bush 41 certainly screwed the pooch in Iraq by not finishing the job with Hussein. To a degree that was Colin Powell, but Bush should have over-ruled him and drove into Baghdad.
I think to a large degree that the failures of both Bush 41 & 43 were their unwillingness to do the dirty work needed to get the job finished either militarily or politically.
You and I are more hard-scrabble types where we got to where we are by the sweat of our brows, and the blood on our knuckles.
>>Jimmy Carter is also 94<<
*sigh*
When carter was just working with Habitat for Humanity I thought he was a great guy if an awful President. But he wasn’t an awful President for being evil, just incompetent (we have obozo who was both to see the difference).
But then he had to get back into politics AND talk badly about the USA beyond water’s edge so he turned my sympathy to antipathy.
So when he dies I will only see it as the death of a traitor and not the good man he was at one time.
Eph 5:11, 12: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Judging is both expressed and implied in that verse.
Another example: 1 Cor 5:11-13: I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
We are commanded to judge others, but to do so righteously. Otherwise we could never indict or condemn sinful man.
People like you conveniently leave out the rest of Jesus' thoughts. You take the scripture out of context, which makes it a pretext. For you. Shame on you.
Both Bushes made a mess of a lot of things, were NWOs etc, and are rightly criticized for that. I was also responding to Poster #3 for his "playing God judgment", and inadvertently left out the differences in judging political v earthly actions and intent. Just drop it.
I personally think the new agreement is BS. Mr. Trump was ill advised listening to traitors, like you, selling out. A uniform across the board tariff would have been MUCH better.
