Fox News ^ | 12/1/2018 | Fox News

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.

Sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He probably didn’t even see himself as a hero - just someone doing his duty and looking out for his fellow soldiers. George Bush seldom ever mentioned his war service either, as far as I can remember. His politics are another issue. For the most part you either you see him as an evil NWO person or someone that was too nice to the opposition and did not fight for conservative values. I will let the Almighty judge him.

Both Bush’s were globalist Free Traitors™. I feel no sense of a great loss here.

I’m not a betting man (maybe $5...), but the odds are bad on that one.

War hero, republican POTUS who turned against the best interests of the country and supported obama and Hillary. His end was ignoble

RIP George Herbert Walker Bush. I believe he was a very good man, maybe one of the best men to ever be president. A very distinguished life. I also believe he was sometimes too good; if he had fought back harder against there media and not let the Dems play him, we would have never had had Clinton.

He reached his hand out to the Democrats, they tore his arm off, and clubbed him over the head with it.

Yes, a little naive.

I think he was a globalist Free Traitor™ and gave away the store to the NWO. He is one of the worst Presidents EVER. He and his son were compromised in every way by the Chinese, the Saudis and other globalist enemies of American freedom. They had no concept of the working class in the USA. Both have tin ears and silver spoons up their < deleted >.

You can't be a globalist and patriot at the same time. Both Bushes fall into the former category.

Other then that I have no problem with him.

"Read my lips, no new taxes."

When I though of that being the moment most people probably remember about 41's political career, I had a vision of Bill Clinton summoning all the ghost writers and journalists he knows to start fabricating a historical image of his greatness to release when he reaches room temperature.

Well he’s dead so I hope God tells him to go #### himself and sends him to NWO hell :)

He also ####ed the NRA and hated Trump.

He was a POS and now he’ll be food for creatures a step above him

Go have a drink and lighten up :)

I HATE traitors.

And he was one. To the country. To the NRA.

He did not hide his contempt for a real patriot, Trump.

But he fought in WWII.

But he was a traitor!!!

SO HARD to feel any loss for him being gone.

But I am a Christian so yeah I went overboard. :(

It was harsh.

I don’t know so much that I regret saying it...but I’ll consider regretting it :)

He did fight in WWII

But come on man he HATED Reagan. That’s just the truth.

HE was the one who invented the term “voodoo economics” during the primaries.

Also very good friends with the parents of the guy who tried to kill Bush, or so the rumors swirl. :)

Not too sure about the last one!! :)

Harsh?

I guess that the Bushies do not represent you.

Let them deal with their actions.
