h/t John Gormley Live, who writes about the Bush visit in today’s Star Phoenix;
Most telling was the early 20s woman who looked shocked, visibly open-mouthed, as she confessed how confused she was by what she had expected and how impressed she was by the experience.
For those who either admired president Bush throughout his term or thought there was something more substantive underneath the hatchet jobs of Hollywood and the Beltway, vindication is a good word. Things aren’t always as they seem. You were right all along about George W. Bush.
Most truthers are pro gun by the way. Most are constitutionalists. They are not your enemy. They just see no difference between Bush/Obama, Republican/Democrat and think that both are fascists. Commies are easy to spot but fascists not so much. It’s why they are screaming for attention. The Government-Business rule of fascism can appear to be capitalism but isn’t. Don’t be fooled.
It’s good to remember that the Bush family are American blue-bloods, Patricians.
Somehow, tho, GWB had the common touch. The REAL common touch. Not the g-droppin’ affectation that Obama sometimes engages in which actually emphasizes his elitism.
Remember those famous hugging pics, esp. the one with the daughter of a slain soldier. Bush FELT THE PAIN, not the lower lip-quivering, it’s-show-time pain of a Bill Clinton.
Bless George W Bush.
While I’m TOTALLY PISSED with GWB I have never waivered from my post-9/11 opinion that he is a good and thoroughly decent man.
Earring comments above. LOL.
I’m kinda neutral on them, but I have a strange explosive reaction to Men In Ponytails for some reason probably best not to delve into!
Those protesters = Swine wallowing in manure
GWB received an award in Saskatoon from the Saskatchewan prolife assoc. for his accomplishments in that area. their statement includes a good answer to ‘prolife does not =war’ red herring. Comparing GWB to Obama, its easy to see the diff. in natural intelligence, wit, and integrity. GWB has it all over BHO. And GWB doesn’t have the thin skin of a wuss, either.
Shorter “me no dhimmi”:
Though GW Bush was a member of the aristocracy who never did a day’s work in hs life and had his dad bail him out of every failed venture, he’s a man of the people.
While Obama and Clinton who were born poor and had to fight for everything they got, they’re part of the elite.
Why? ‘Cause ‘me no dhimm’ like the rest of you has no ability to think for himself. He believes what he’s told, facts be damned!
Check out this:!
“Bush’s brand of forthright tough-guy populism can be appealing, and it has played well in Texas. Yet occasionally there are flashes of meanness visible beneath it.
While driving back from the speech later that day, Bush mentions Karla Faye Tucker, a double murderer who was executed in Texas last year. In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, Bianca Jagger and a number of other protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Tucker. ‘Did you meet with any of them?’ I ask.
Bush whips around and stares at me. ‘No, I didn’t meet with any of them,’ he snaps, as though I’ve just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. ‘I didn’t meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with , though. He asked her real difficult questions, like ‘What would you say to Governor Bush?’ ‘What was her answer?’ I wonder.
‘Please,’ Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, ‘don’t kill me.'”
Hey, what a great guy! Bless GW Bush!
tranio – yes, I agree.
When the eye of history, rather than the mouth of prejudice and ignorance, moves in with its objective reasoning capacities, Bush will be defined as one of the great presidents of the US. A humble man committed to democracy and fairness.
As for his background of wealth vs non-wealth, that’s irrelevant. Some people are programmed by their past. Why, our legal system is focused on excusing people who are criminals as products of their past. Others rise above it.
We can see someone who is programmed by his past Obama, who has become a pathological narcissist, focused on a deep need to control people into mindless adulation. Others are nurtured within their past, moving on to a maturity of knowledge and a commitment to service. Unfortunately, Obama hasn’t done this, and his past record, most of which is hidden, shows us his indifference to long hours of slogging analytic work, and his focus only on that public ‘roar of applause’.
kevin at 222 – I remember seeing you! Not too hard to pick out pro-Bush people at the rally!
You are indeed a brave person . . . .
bleet: (I’m considering you not to be a troll here):
I’ll give you this: I’m pissed that he did not pardon Scooter Libby. That was certainly mean-spirited in the extreme. It truly mystified me.
I never said he was a perfect man, only a good man. And a man with the common touch despite his patrician background.
Obama is not a man who struggled out of poverty, and btw, he never did a “honest day’s” work in his life either and for some strange reason has (allegedly) spent 100s of thousands of dollars keeping his personal history under wraps.
He was brought up in relatively privileged circumstances by his “typical white person” mother-in-law. Have you ever seen a pic of his private school in Hawaii (sp?)? Pretty spiffy!
And oh, one more thing: most of the great communist leaders of the past also came from privileged–middle and upper class–backgrounds.
Finally, don’t you find the left extremely uncharitable when they bring up his early alcoholism without crediting him for beating it? I actually have a alcoholic hard left friend who does this!
I have asked this question numerous times since 9/11. If Bush did it, when did he start to plan it. He was inaugurated in Jan and this happened in Sept. For someone who the media and others said is so dumb, how did he pull it off.
I understand GWB was presented with an award while in Saskatoon. Anyone know about it.
And why would anyone expect a criminal to be arrested in Canada, it is the citizens who catch them that are in trouble.
If they want criminals arrested start with those involved with the sponsorship scandal.
I read Gormly’s article quite good,& have only viewed a little of the tape. Anyways getting back to the Gormly article I find a strong comparison’s to whats happening in our own country.
And thats is the our PM has been labeled and mainly by our MSM, which in turn allows the spinning effect by the Opposition to the reg guy/gal in the corner coffee shop.
Harper war monger, Harper Bush clone, Harper Neo-con, Harper inpersonal it goes on & on. Then you have the media in this country When has the media(other then Rutherford or Gormly just to say a few) given a good grade or article on the PM? Never they are constant critical, looking for the dirt, the scandal.
Canadians are quite pleased with our PM, just look at the polls they are pleased with the way he is handling this stressfull economic time Which was not brought on by him. But No the MSM just just skewers him at every turn. Now as for the looney left Well they will never be happy, spend more spend less & their ever famous line thats what canadians want,(Ya Right, what we want is to shut the hell up and stop implying All Canadians).
bleet – I don’t really think that Obama had to fight for much in his life, although not as privileged as Bush – he didn’t have to struggle like Clinton did.
Thanks for reminding me about karla faye tucker – I think it was a mistake to execute her, and really disagreed with that decision at the time.
This dude is a dolt. The lose change documentary puts the blame for 9/11 on the US government, alleging they carried it out, then in the next sentence he talks about the CIA training Bin Laden…so which is it?
I always get a laugh when people believe crap like 9/11 was an inside job and the towers were dropped by explosives. Our government bureaucracies, by their very nature, never attract the best and brightest and whenever there is anything challenging have to bring in outside consultants who of course rip the fools for big bucks every time, witness EHealth. They weaken their own rules leading to companies exploiting them hence the current economic debacle. Then they mumble, how could this have happened just because we forced the banks to lend money to those who couldn’t repay it! These are the giant brains that planned 9/11.
Yet somehow this bumbling crowd secretly wired up the towers and were never noticed by the thousands of national and international people who worked there and nothing was ever mentioned to the hundreds of thousands these people were in contact with, not a peep from them or the hundreds of government guys and the attached companies supplying the equipment to do the job. Nixon was brought down by a lowly security guard noticing a piece of tape over a door lock.
And for what, so the US could spend its treasure and blood to attack some muslims squating in the dirt in Afghanistan or go after the oil in Iraq when they could have bought it for a fraction of the money spent occupying the country!
I like GWB and I to think he is an honest and patriotic man who rose to the challenge of 9/11. With all the information presented to him he stated he believed at that time that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and if the US had done nothing Iran and Iraq would now be racing to develop nuclear weapons as Iran is currently doing.
With Imanutjob in charge in Iran we all should be worried as these idiots will surely fire one off yelling “allah akbar”,
I smiled when a friend of mine went to Bill Clinton speech and thought he was so eloquent. When in contrast to the lady who listened to Bush’s speech I asked my friend what did Clinton talk about she didn’t remember but it sure sounded good.
Thanks Iwestin, I knew he got the award, as the lady that presented it e-mailed me the photo of GWB with his arm across her shoulder. Just wondered it it got any coverage. She can display that with her photo of her and PMSH.
Lorne@10:48, hows about floating out some irrefutable facts&stuff on the demolition, and I’ll see how many bulletholes I can plug and maybe sink it?
‘Truther’Lorne,the buildings fell because of fire and,you might not remember this,BIG f’en airplanes hitting into them. Why don’t you add a bit of truth to your talking points? 8 years later,15 million or so ‘truthers’,and not one of them have actually got past the point that “if it looks like a controlled demolition,it must be one”so lets work backwards and blame Bush. Fools,I’d bet that most of them have had relations with ladies that have large hands and prominent Adam’s apples. Gee,it sure looked like a woman.
For those who care, I did a preview and a review of the Edmonton Bush show on my blog:
The review is here – http://3edgesword.blogspot.com/2009/10/george-w-bush-event-review-edmonton.html
“Things aren’t always as they seem. You were right all along about George W. Bush.”
Thanks. We know.
Well, ‘me nodhimmi’
I suppose if you think Bush is a ‘good man’ after the incident I cited above in which he mocked the pleas of a woman he executed as governor of Texas, you’ll think he’s a ‘good man’ knowing that he executed far more people (152) than any governor in the history of Texas, and more than any governor in recent US history.
You’ll also think he’s a ‘good man’ after knowing of an incident depicted in the Bob Woodward bok ‘The War Within’: after announcing the ‘surge’ Bush went to Fort Benning to speak to military personnel and their families. His commanders on the ground, Gernerals Casey and Abezaid both opposed the surge. But Bush, when addressing military personnel and their families told them “the commanders on the ground in Iraq” supported the surge.
If ‘goodness’, for you, constitutes lying to the very soldiers being sent to kill and die for him (and if it also constitutes frightening the American people with visions of ‘mushroom clouds’ to launch an illegal war, or sending his minions out to tell people that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, or adopting the very same torture techniques used by the Nazis), well, by gosh you’re right Bush is a ‘good man’. And everbody should just stop pickin’ on him, darn it, and give him props for stoppin’ drinkin’!
Hey BLEET you f’n pin head. Bush didn’t execute anybody. The State executes cold blooded killers. If we follow your philisophy then PET, Chretien ( minister of justice), Clark, Mulrooney, Roy Romanow ( atorney general of Sask ), and all other senior people in Government are responsible for David Milguard’s raw deal. By the way, when the baby killer from the Yellowquill first nation gets out from jail he should come live next door to you. See if you still have sympathy foe a waste of skin. COLD BLOODED MURDERERS HAVE NO RIGHTS PERIOD.
FACLC…great post! Thanks for the report. I’m sending a link to my family. Most of them have BDS.The one who doesn’t is a Nam vet living in Florida.
dj:
So according to the last line of your post, you think George Bush has no rights, then? Harsh!
Bleet, I’m glad to hear you admit that Bush is a good man. It’s nice to see that even clueless twits can occasionally come to the the right conclusion.
George W Bush did the unthinkable in the feather brains of all the left wing liberals in the world – he foiled the ‘plan’ of the UN and their co conspirators to drive the price of oil through the roof via ‘cheap oil for $$’ scam with the co-operation of a monster named Saddam Hussein. U.S.A., Austrailia, Italy, GB, and some other countries were out of the UN/Liberal loop to rake in the big bucks by selling Saddam’s cheap oil (for them) on the open market instead of trading ‘oil for food and medicine’ as dictated by the UN sanction of Iraq after the first Gulf War.
The far left media were up in the filth to their teeth so they kept their mouths shut. President Bush invaded Iraq when Saddam refused to let UN inspectors in and smashed the piggy bank of the evil doers who were willing to deprive the people of Iraq of food and medicine to enrich themselves and the World Government Organization’s plans to make all people ‘equally poor’. When GW took on the evil monsters the media and others turned on him; thinking people never did because we knew it was a last ditch fight for Liberty. GW won in Iraq before he left office…someday he will be seen for the great President and courageous man that he is; much to the shame of the msm ‘useful idiots’ and the simple minded who believed what the ‘human haters’ told them.
God Bless G.W Bush. I miss his presence in the Whitehouse, I used to sleep at night because I knew that ‘rough men guarded the border’ under the orders of a rough Man in the Whitehouse; now; not so much…
Lorne at 10:48 – Keep it up – you’re sure to be invited to dine with wacky Rosie O. BTW – were you that idiot at the GWB venue in Saskatoon who’se mantra was “Investigate 911 – 911 was an inside job?”
Probably was.
What a maroooooooon!!!
Whoa whoa whoa bleet!
Re Karla Faye Tucker – I thought at the time he should have commuted her sentence, and resigned his governorship – and lived a comfortable life. But he had other things on his mind I guess. (For a great look at Texas justice, please everyone see Errol Morris’ documentary “Thin Blue Line”. There’s a lot wrong WRT to implementation of the death penalty down there.)
I can’t comment about the Fort Benning incident – I have no beta on that
WRT mushroom clouds – I think that presidents lately have been politicians above all else, and have little science training – I’ve been watching the “Physics for Future Presidents” online – a course offered at Berkeley – the guy is balanced and sensible. He gives great dissertations about the risks (and benefits!!) surrounding nuclear power, and real-life difficulties surrounding nuclear devices as “terrorists’ weapons”.
So Bush is not alone in not knowing adequately the science behind these scenarios.
I would love to ram that megaphone right down that lefticle’s throat, the truly funny thing though would be any noise eminating from the other end would be just as intelligent as the crap coming from his mouth, pun totally intended.
9/11 truthers are a mix of individuals who desperately need to belong, or anti-semites.
Damn they are irritating, and like roaches they just don’t go away.
“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Ben Franklin
“Those who refuse to take the necessary actions to fight against those who threaten their security, for fear of slight and temporary encroachments on liberty, will lose their liberty as well as their security, because those who threaten their security do so in order to threaten their liberty as well.”
Michael Lonie
“Most truthers are pro gun by the way. Most are constitutionalists. They are not your enemy. They just see no difference between Bush/Obama, Republican/Democrat and think that both are fascists. Commies are easy to spot but fascists not so much.”
If they see no difference between Bush and Obama they’re even stupider than I thought. And I don’t believe most of them are constitutionalists at all. Every one I run across or hear about is a liberal at best, and a lefty moonbat at worst. Some might be Buchananites, but that is no recommendation. When last seen Pitchfork Pat was running for President with a lifelong Marxist as his running mate. No real conservative he.
More nats heading to the light to drink in GWB BS.
If GWB piles the BS high enough and it is smelly enough it brings all the dung beetles out.
