Ok. Here it is again. 1: Socialized medicine. 2: Wealth redistribution. 3: The appointing of known communists as "czars". 4: The take over ov G.M. 5: The total disregard by the executive branch of congress. Healthcare is 1/6 of the entire GDP. That in and of itself ought to prove their/his socialist agenda.
1) we've had it before Obama, and we'll have it after. At least now it'll make some fiscal sense.
2) {see #1}. Problem for USA, is that primary wealth distribution has been from poor to rich, NOT the other way around.
3) Grow up. That's a MEDIA invented term for positions that have been appointed long before this POTUS started doing it. Not an ode to pre-Soviet Russia.
4) which is back on its feet and repaying loans EARLY with interest.
@ImmortalSynn That's all I need to come up with. All the double talk in the world can't erase FACTS! #1 we didn't have socialized medicine before Hussein. #2 More class warfare, with no basis in reality, only propaganda. #3 I never said it was an ode to pre-Soviet Russia, but nice try to deflect the fact he appoints known communists. #4 GM would have been fine, letting the market work on it's own. Damn. OWNED! AGAIN!
2) Oh really? Then kindly explain how the top 5% of the wealthy have contributed less to the nation's GDP, but gained more of its percentage of wealth generated, over the last 30yr, if wealth flow hasn't been poor to rich.
3) Oh? Then cite specifically how you "know" them to be communists.
4) Not according to GM themselves. But you know better, right?
"OWNED!"
LOL, don't delude yourself. You did nothing but regurgitate nonfactual talking points
i understand he got elected once?but how the hell did he get elected twice?now don't tell me you voted him because he's a good president...and you need to stop watching fox news...
THANK YOU FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH YOU HAVE PROTECTED US AND HELP GIVE FREEDOM TO THOSE WHO BEFORE HAD NONE IM SORRY HOW THINGS HAVE TURNED SINCE YOU LEFT btw im PROUD to have said that
I met both President Bush HW and W and was left with the realization that both are honorable men of great integrity none of which can be said of the fraud that is Barry Soertoro aka Barrack Hussein Obama. This Indonesian former Kenyan citizen is clearly afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder compounded by a Hitler like sense of omnipotence. The anti-American leftist have shoved this incompetent egoist down our throat for the next four years. I only hope we can survive his reign.
The Bushes were Honorable men?! HA! They are both ass-kissers of the Saudis and don't give a damn about the American government or the world in general! They lied to the American government over and over and over. Obama's NOT egotistical! He's one of the most intelligent presidents we had since JFK. He's more intouch with the people more than Bush ever was. If Bush is so honorable then why did he let other americans for dead in New Orleans back in 2005? Honorable?! HA Bullshit!
@IllegalInvasion cmon dude..what is your problem with Obama, so far all he has done was pass reforms to shape the country, what is anti-american about Obama....who is doing his best to serve the American people get us jobs, protect our workers, elderly citizens, and youth with college aid intiatives...etc...what do you not like about obama?....you do not like his past?...you think he is anti-american?.
@IllegalInvasion ..First of all, american goes beyond the color of your skin..just because your white does not make you American...and besides if that's what your looking for he may label himself as African - American, but he was raised by his White American mother and white grandparents...!!
There's no "we'll see" about it... the majority of the country was smart enough to reject the birtherism that that individual adheres to long before the actual certificate was even released.
Where do you see me saying that "you" were? I'm talking about the original poster to whom you (erroneously) claimed that the majority of the country is in agreement with.
@ImmortalSynn My bad I misread your comment. Unfettered capitalism, no doubt is unfair. We haven't had unfettered capitalism for 150 years or more. But how can you support what this man is doing to our economy?
"We haven't had unfettered capitalism for 150 years or more."
How exactly do you figure? Were you comatose in 2008, or did you somehow miss the massive dip our economy took, as a result of capitalism (in both the investment and mortgage/residential markets) ran amok??
@ImmortalSynn You blame that on capitalism? What started it all was the crumbling of the housing market, which was a direct result of socialist re-distribution policies.
"which was a direct result of socialist re-distribution policies."
You've seriously gotta grow beyond using those RIDICULOUS catch-phrases. WTF is "socialist re-distribution policies"? Were the houses *given* away? No! They were amassed under shady finance terms (ARMS, evolving rates, etc) that banks were allowed to dream up and execute under near complete lack of regulation. That ain't socialism bub.
No wonder your arguments are so simplistic... you take single points of legislation, and attempt define issued that developed over DECADES of interactive policies, with them.
@ImmortalSynnIf my answers are simplistic, no wonder YOUR answers are so complicated, (to some, anyway). You have to TRY to confuse people, because socialism has been a proven FAILURE as an economic model everywhere it has been tried.
I'm not trying to do anything. You're confused because you're so unused to having to source the origin of your stance on something, rather than be told what it is. It's very apparent in how you present what you believe... you haven't used a single source of corroboration/citation since you've been chatting here-- and the only reason I've really bothered continuing is just seeing how long you'll go before you actually do. I'm starting to believe that'd never happen.
Okay, don't think you're going to say ridiculous catch-phrase memes like that, and think that they're going to go unchallenged. What "socialist agenda" hmm? Let's define it. Every aspect of it.
Y'see, this is the type of ass-backwards political trash talk that has this country so dumbed down, and I'm sick of it.
Problem with that is that so many people running around calling themselves "C"onservatives, have no blessed clue what "c"onservatism actually is.
And if/when they do figure it out, they're often horrified by it... because it means basically means not pissing around with things that don't concern you, and not using "big government" to get what you want, then decrying it when it's used for something you don't like or can't advance your own agenda.
@ImmortalSynn And that was before we knew what he was REALLY about. It always amazes me, how liberal socialists always campaign as if they were centrists. Clearly, we see now, Obama is not a centrist.
because rampant capitalism without the mild restraints of very limited socialism, cannot sustain itself. And the opposite is true to... socialism without capitalism is doomed to failure.
So many people, who listen to polarizing windbags (on both sides, so yes that includes the likes of Olbermann and O'Donnell just as much as it does Limbaugh and Hannity) think that Socialism and Capitalism are mortally-opposed ideologies, when in truth, neither can work without the other
No. But it's by far the closest we'd thus far gotten to it, with disastrous effect.
If we had unfettered capitalism at any point, this nation would've eventually collapsed in similar fashion to the Soviet Union, after unfettered socialism had rotted it to the core.
"you will know that socialism is only a transition period on the road to communism."
Bullshit. That's like saying that Capitalism is only a transition period to Fascism, seeing as it has the exact same inverted relationship to it on the socio-political spectrum as does Socialism to Communism. Or did you miss that lesson in 8th grade-level civics?
@ImmortalSynn You are a serious MORON! I have tried to have to have a civil debate with you, but now I see you can't argue with an idiot. I didn't say socialism is the transition period on the road to communism, MARX did,in the Communist Manifesto fucking idiot. Or did YOU miss that in YOUR 8th grade-level civics, if you even made it to 8th grade. I laid out part of his/their socialist agenda for you, and you have no answer, only insults. OWNED! you fraud! You do your comrades proud! Dumb ass.
First of all, calm down kiddie, before your brain overheats.
Secondly, I'll call bullshit on Marx all day everyday, so get used to that. For the exact same reason described. Though he actually wrote extremely little about transitory politics in the manifesto, the problem with that concept is Marxist Socialism still employs classism (i.e., the working class) and thus has as little incentive to transition to Communism as an unfettered Capitalist society. This isn't difficult.
@ImmortalSynn Capitalism has NOTHING to do with fascism, sheep. Fascism is the right wing of socialism, which by it's very nature is Leftist. The ONLY thing Conservatism has in common with Fascism is NATIONALISM. But then again, some one of your intellect and political persuasion can't be expected to know such nuances, (things, to you).
You've thus now proven that you have A*B*S*O*L*U*T*E*L*Y no idea what you're talking about.
Fascism, by its abject definition, is Rightist. From the World English Dictionary:
fascism (ˈfæʃɪzəm)
1. any right-wing nationalist ideology or movement with an authoritarian and hierarchical structure that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and liberalism
2. any ideology, movement, programme, tendency, etc, that may be characterized as right-wing, chauvinist, authoritarian, etc
@ImmortalSynn You need to study history and not depend so much on a dictionary. Theory and practice are two different things. And actually, YOU just proved what a LIAR you are: World English Dictionary, Fascism: Dictatorial movement: Any movement, ideology, or attitude that favors dictatorial gvt., centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism. Hits a little too close to home, doesn't it?
Grow up child, I've LIVED through some of the events that's history to *you*.
That, and you have the audacity to call me a liar, yet post the above bullshit and think for a second that I'm not going to just post the link straight to that dictionary and let people see for themselves who's lying. You're done here.
see, here's the thing though... he was semi-articulate as Governor of Texas. His pisspoor oratory skills really didn't manifest until he was President.
Strange, but go true-- go back and look at some of his taped gubernatorial speeches, if you'd like to see for yourself.
I agree with you because personally, i'm not so fond of Bush myself, however whether i like him or not will not affect the respect i have for him as commander and chief of the U.S. He is only one person, he is not God. He did what he said he thought was the best for us as a country. I have family serving in Iraq, although it is sad to know that every day is challenging for them, I also know that a terrorist like Sadam Hussain would not have been caught if our troops were not serving.
"I also know that a terrorist like Sadam Hussain would not have been caught if our troops were not serving."
You say that as if removing someone who 1) had no power to attack us and 2) whose presence kept Iran in check, at the cost of more than a half TRILLION dollars and nearly 5000 of our boys' lives.... were some manner of wise/strategic decision.
Major fail, man. Nothing he did was what "he thought was best for us as a country." Everything he did was personal, and he never gave our lives a moment's thought (did you think the ploy of attacking NY was what was "best for our country?") He may yet be the first U.S. president to hang.
what do you people have on bush?, the majority of people voted for bush. if you hate him, why did you even vote for him?. he did the best he could. Terrorist are real. if you really think bush was responsible for our economy's fall. think again. It was the people that let down our economy, spending more than they earned but i know that gas was high. we shouldn't be depending on foreign oil, we should produce our own oil.
He absolutely was not "voted" by the majority! Do you remember the election that got GWB into the White House in the first place, or were you playing with your Gameboy back then? He didn't win the majority--Gore did. GWB had the presidency handed to him by corrupt electoral ballot switches by his friends and relations throughout, including his brother Jeb in Florida. If you wre not paying attention then, please look it up.
I understand about the electoral college, and how it can affect the outcome, but if you recall, there was a lot of corruption then, and a lot of people working at the poles coming forward and reporting lost or fraudulent paper ballots (which were ignored and went forward anyway), as well as a lot of odd problems with machines in the Democrat states. Come on. You know there was corruption involved too. No way the votes could have swung that far to the right on the 11th hour.
Even if that were indeed the case-- this isn't peewee football, where it doesn't matter so long as you tried. His best was nowhere NEAR good enough. Hence the extreme criticism.
i agree with you fergi.some of you guys should try to run for president and see how it is and how would it make you feel if others said you we'ren't good.
even if we don't like the decisions you make doesn't make you a bad person and if we just didn't like you at all we can still say that you did your best protecting our country just like fergie said
yeah but you gotta think how hard it is and you may not know what your saying while ur up there speaking in front of millions of people and maybe something else was going through his mind he was just getting to overwhelmed about and he just had to take it out on some of us.now we all have likes and dislikes but eventually we have dislikes so why don't you let me go ahead and express my opinions on here because thats also what youtube is for.
Your an idiot if you think he "F'ed up big time" How has he F'ed up? He has kept us all safe for 7 years after a horrible attack on your soil. Now because of George W. Bush Iraqi's will get to share this same freedom. Wish I lived there, the genius you just put in office was the senator of a state that is nothing but a failure. I actually live in Chicago, it's nice to know the murder rate of my city is higher than the murder rate in Iraq. God Bless America and most of all George W. Bush. Thanks.
"He has kept us all safe for 7 years after a horrible attack on your soil."
Yeahhhh, that's like congratulating the stablehand for closing the barn door after the prize stallion gets out and gets run over.
He had 8 months of his own intel, plus nearly 6 years of Clinton's intel (dating back to "Project Bojinka") as well as the litany of Clinton's well-publicized screwups, to see what was coming......... and he FAILED to stop it.
Keeping us "all" safe for 7 years? You're joking right?
Your choice of words is beyond me. And what 6 years of intel are you talking about from the Clinton Administration? You must be talking about him selling secrets because I can't think of anything else that he could have possibly did. Maybe you should read the year of the rat and learn something for a change.
Google "Project Bojinka", which the Clinton Admin was well aware of from even the mid-90s, and saw Islamic terrorists intending to blow up several planes in Asia and California, with slamming them into buildings as a last/culminating resort.
ImmortalSynn, I want you to imagine for a sec, that u are pre and you just got word that america has been attacked by terrorists. It's the worst attack. Now, you have to decide what to do, knowing that whatever decision you make, about half of the country is going to hate you for it. You can't just pass it on to someone else, you have to make a decision. But, don't forget there are other people who are involved in the decision who will never recive blame for it, just you. Now what?
STFUUUUUUU! GEORGE W. BUSHHH was alll in alll a good presidentt, shure he did have his moments andd shure, but i feel bad forrr him. everyone was always putting him down. it was alot for him to handlllllllle. soo stfu and keep your thoughts to yourself or please; DONT COMMENT AT ALLLL. ;D AND GOO BARACKK OBAMMAA, best wishesss <33333
No apology for leading America to war under false pretenses, complete lies about his environmental record, failure to admit that America was kept safe by Clinton and other presidents before him and that HE was the first in many years to fail in that regard. No apology for stripping Americans of their rights while at the same time making speeches about spreading freedom, etc... What a crock of shit. Rot in hell Bush. You're a pig that don't fly straight!
ImmortalSynn George Bush was a great President i dont know why people say that BUSH was a bad president..I say the hell with them..if 9/11 happend while Bill CLinton or Barak Obama was President i gaurantee they wil be saying they are Terriable Presidents..I say again all the people who said he was a bad president the hell with all of you..Obama has dont nothing and we are already annointing him as the savior i say Bull shhhhhhh,,Thank you George Bush for being a GREAT PRESIDENT
"i dont know why people say that BUSH was a bad president"
...then open your eyes, read the Constitution, Geneva Conventions, and even the admission of his own justice department--- and perhaps you'll find out why.
i feel bad for Bush I'm sure he did his best to be president he just had to much to handle at once. Yes some of the things he did we a bit questionable but I'm sure if the things he went through happened to anyone else the end result would be about the same.
President BUSH you did a Great Job the hell with everyone else that didnt think you were a Great President..Obama has done nothing and we are already annointing him..people are so dum..
Of course! Though, It's not really surprising considering spurs thinks Bush did a good job! Anyone who thinks that is lucky if they have the mental capacity to tie their own shoes and wipe their own ass...
Thank you Mr.Bush. Served under you in Afghanistan and Iraq. This country is in so much trouble right now because we view style over substance, "relativity" over "right and wrong". Constant, disrespectfull complainers who don't understand sacrifice and expect perfection from everyone but themselves have mocked and hated you from the begining and even as you step down they cant avoid taking there parting shots. No respect for the country or your office. Thank you President Bush!!!
Clinton took a so-so country that just came out of a war with a weak economy and he left it after 8 years as a better place...bush took a strong economy with a balanced budget and turned it into a worse country, actually we're going into a depression...but it's not ALL Bush, it's also the Congress, goddamn that Republican Congress he had for 6 years that gave him whatever he asked for.
Thank freaking GOD he's not gonna be president in 48 hours! His presidency should of never happened to begin with. He was an embarrassment to America. Our country wouldn't be in the financial shit storm it's in if it wasn't for this idiot.
Thank god this bastard's gone. He's made me ashamed to be an american.
FUCK YOU BUSH! Go to Hell and take the rest of your Saudi-ass-kissing family with you.
No, people like you are the real embarrassment to America you fucking twit.
Your ideology is to lay down like a lame fucking dog while America's enemies have their way with us.
It takes more than one man to control an entire nation's economy too, fucking retard.
This president had more crisis on his plate that he had to deal with than ever. How can you blame it all on him? Probably because thats the easiest solution huh? Fucking jackass.
Jackass?! I'm glad warmongering people like YOU aren't running this damned country otheriwse this would would be nuked!
No I don't think we should roll over BUT WE SHOULD OF STAYED IN AFGHANISTAN INSTEAD OF ATTACK IRAQ! Yeah ok so Saddam wasn't exactly a shoe-in for Mr. Humanitarian considering he killed a lot of Iraqis. BUT DAMN IT he had nothing to do with 9/11 and we had NO RIGHT to attack him! This country isn't the fucking UN! We have no right to attack people that shouldn't be attacked!
Furthermore it was under Ronald Regan's watch, the President Bush's father George Sr was VP for, that the CIA trained Al-Qaeda to fight the russians during their war with the U.S.S.R!
Than in the 1990s Bush sr like his son after him ATTACKED Iraq and no not for the good of Kuwait, or the Iraqis, or even americans, no. IT WAS SO THEY CAN LINE THEIR FELLOW TEXAN OIL TYCOON'S POCKETS!
Now it was one thing to attack Japan(WW2) and Afghanistan like we done in WWII because they attacked us -cont-
But to attack a country because the President wants their oil is an entirely different situation! Bush should be brought up to a War crimes tribunal for what he's done!
The only 'fucking jackass' is you you ignorant warmonger!
P.S. If you think I'm against the US soldiers I'm NOT! I don't blame those who follows orders. I blame their superiors who gave that order. Hating the soldiers would be like blaming the hand that hit you rather than the person who welds it.
President Bush will be missed. He saw this country through very hard times and had it not been for 9/11 he would have had a very easy presidency. I am glad that we had him to see us through. Even if you disagree with everything he's done, you have to agree that he has kept us safe for 7 years. Thank you Mr. Bush. One can only hope that Obama will do just as well as you have.
"Even if you disagree with everything he's done, you have to agree that he has kept us safe for 7 years."
Uh, no you don't. A hurricane hasn't hit NOLA in 3 years-- wanna attribute that to Bush too?
I mean, when you THINK about it : what manner of "strategy" is keeping-them-busy-over-there really? They'll only STAY busy as long as we send more of our boys to die over there, and whenever we finally DO pull out... what, are they gonna have forgotten where the USA is and how to hit it? Get real.
Indeed it's not... the comparison, for those with the cognitive ability to figure it out; was that both are predictable, give plenty of warning, and have nothing to do with the policies of GWB.
It's a shame that you can't find anything else to do with your tome besides write incredibly ignorant comments to those of us who want to simply thank the man who DID keep us safe. You really need to read the president's job description, because nowhere does it say that the president has control over the weather, or the economy for that matter. I'm just saying think about what you are saying before you say it. Otherwise people will just think that you're an idiot.
"You really need to read the president's job description"
...indeed, I did. It's this peculiar little document called the Constitution-- y'know, the one that this administration has spent at least five of the last 8 years actively shredding, as opposed to PROTECTING and UPHOLDING.
Taking a line out of context is not the same as me saying it. You are implying that Bush sat in his office all day and thought, "How can I screw over America today". No of course he didn't. He thought of how to protect Americans. How have you been inconvenienced by any laws that he has enacted? Also if you are an Obama supporter you might like to know that Obama is keeping over half of Bush's policies. Get your news from other sources and think before talking.
It's said that assumption is the cause of all fuckups... and boy did you just prove that.
I get my news from dozens of sources, and actually DO think for myself, as opposed to relying on shtick-promoting talking radio-based heads to analyze things for me-- as is the disturbing pattern for the rest of my party.
As for Bush, I don't believe he sat around thinking of how to screw America... so much as thinking how to further his own self-serving ambitions, regardless of cost or consequence.
If you are not able to keep this a civil debate between two equal Americans then there is no reason to debate you. You say that assumptions are bad, then don't imply that I can't think for myself. There is a reason that I even watch MSNBC even though they do a travesty to journalism. And I have noticed that no matter what the other side to a story is wrong, but the side that people believe is the one that they here the most about. I look for that which no one knows. Not conspiracies.
Or perhaps you can show me exactly where I "implied" ~anything~ about you specifically.
That said, if what you're referring to is my statement on assumption; that was certainly no implication, that was a statement of fact: you made a pisspoor assumption (re: news sources) and I called you on it. And stand by it, for that matter.
There is no gain for me to debate you especially because you are only attempting to give the "gotcha" statement. You're not open to any other ideas nor do you consider the points of view of other people. You may attack former President Bush. There are things that he has done that i disagree with. There were things that Clinton did that I didn't like either. Open your eyes and open your mind and for once consider the opinions and ideals of others. You might agree with them.
What a weakling copout... I'm open to plenty of ideas, so long as they're presented with enough FORETHOUGHT and CORROBORATION to stand against any rebuttal I might have. Do you have what it takes to present such? Apparently not. But there are plenty who do, and I welcome there discourse here-- hence putting this thing up in the first place.
You should be ashamed of yourself if you are for Obama. Obama gives a message of unity and forgiveness. I will not agree with everything that Obama will do but I will support him when he proposes logical solutions to complicated problems. That's what you're supposed to do with your leaders. Challenge them on what you disagree with but when it is over leave it be don't dwell on it. I have best wishes for Obama, but the American people have a lot of lessons to learn and they have 4 years to do it.
That is well put. People are ignorant to think that the problems we face are attributed soley by Bush. It takes a whole nation to bring us to the current state we are in. To sit here and make rude comments about a man who basically gave himself to the American people for 8 years is a total disgrace to our nation.
"America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict"
That is correct, Bush. For who in America has been: murdering off arabs with our money, killing our children through legalized MURDER AKA abortion, brainwashing our children to die in wars for their wealth and power, stealing our tax dollars and our weapons for the last 40+ years while falsely claiming they're our friends and at the same time passing themselves off as "God's chosen people"?
GOD BLESS George Bush. THE NAY SAYERS should have been in New York City to see and smell 9-11-2001. You would have a different opinion of GW. Thank You GWB for keeping the USA safe
Dude, i bet that in a year or two every1 will be saying FUCK OBAMA b/s when sometin is bad we blame it on who is in charge. so fuck off u idiots it dont matter who is president .. if something goes wrong there to blame....
Fuck that! I don't blame bush for the Iraq war or for 9/11. I call him a fucking retard because of the obvious reason: he acts like a fucking retard!!! You're right; people will always complain no matter what the president does. Because Clinton never did anything wrong to the country, everyone had to go apeshit on him for cheating on his wife. Obama will not be the same as Bush. I can't say that Obama will not make mistakes because I don't know, but no one can screw up as bad as Bush did.
There are many things that Bill Clinton did that were bad besides just banging his secretary, dishonoring the office of the President and dishonoring our country. He signed a little thing called NAFTA. If you look at your child's toy and look at where it was made. Thanks to Bill Clinton it is made in various other countries except for ours. I wonder why so many people have been unemployed for so long.
Bush the worst President ever.Torturer,mismanagement of Katrina,fake war,mismanagement of the economy,tamperer of the judiciary system,abused executive privileges with Cheney promoting of fear and division,destroyer of the environment,supporter of corporate interests over commonsense.Goodbye Bush your 8 years will remain in infamy.
"destroyer of the environment"? That's funny considering that it was first under Bush that the White House finally recognized global warming as legitimate.
"mismanagement of the economy"? That's another funny one considering the housing boom got started shortly before Bush took office when Clinton started leaning on mortgage companies to give more loans to minorities...qualified or not. It's okay, let's blame Bush for everything else in the next 4 years too.
"the housing boom got started shortly before Bush took office"
...and was nourished for years thereafter under this administration's complacency. Blaming the housing bubble on Clinton is like blaming a failure on the MCAT/LSAT to behind absent on the first day of kindergarten.
I'm not saying Bush had nothing to do with it, but I think to blame all of the country's problems solely on Bush is foolish. And let's face it, how much hell do you think Bush would have taken from house and senate democrats for stopping it? They would have cried bloody murder calling him a racist for keeping minorities out of homes. I seem to remember the hearings on the topic from another politician who was ostricized in 04 for voicing the concerns. It's okay though, Bush's fault.
I'm going to specifically address to all you Bush-supporters here, for whoever thinks Bush was a good president, you seriously should get mentally checked. Like HELLO! He sent our troops to a fake war in promises that our country will preserve justice and peace, when actually LIED to us because it was actually a war to get more oil. But of course having our "brave, heroic" 19-year olds die for a lie seems good enough reason for you. Sorry all but the truth hurts. Let's go Obama!
I cant believe you people. He is our President. He deserves our respect even though you dont agree with his decisions. Its unbelievable how you treat him. Everything that he has done for our country, putting all his energy into trying to lead the most powerful nation on the planet. I would like to see any of you try to do that. I cant stand Obama, but I Respect him because I love my country, and he represents that. So all of you should respect Bush, unless you truely dont love this country
Simply put, Bush has done a lot of harm to our Country.
I am ashamed of him and ashamed to admit that I voted twice for him. He has lied and misused intelligence and has persistently overstepped overstepped his bounds.
Frankly, I don't even know why I watched this video. This man's words completely hollow to me...
Underappreciated? I appreciate him fully. He is a complete and total nincompoop!!
The terrorist attacks were made by TERRORISTS that hate America. Bush, like any othe prez would have done, tried to stop the terrorist attacks. And what the fuck are u talking about doing harm to his allies??? Iraq is now our ally, and its done good for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia wont suffer terrorist attack from Iraq BECAUSE Bush fought terrorists in Iraq.
Allies like France that refuses to stand up and fight for anything that's right and keep friends with everyone. People who fight to simply keep friends end up bargaining on principle, and those that stand on principle become more divisive, but strengthen ties with the allies we keep. If an ally refuses to stand with us, then what good are they as an ally? Yay for the United Nations!
You dems probabaly dont even know why you all dont like Bush, just like you dont know who Barney Frank is or Nancy Pelosis. But thank you Mr. Bush...and may God help us these next four years with Obama
i know all three.nancy's the first woman speaker of the house,frank is a dem congressman,from massachusette's i think.and i don't like bush because he's been a terrible president.he vacationed for a third of his first year in office,not holding any meetings on terrorism,and ignoring a report titled 'bin laden determined to attack within u.s.' a month before 911.started a distraction of a war to avenge daddy.then ran his re election campaign in 04 on 911,as if it was his moment of triumph.
Bush will go down as one of the most under appreciated presidents we will ever have. The dems are the people that need the help. Since the dems have taken control of congress,the housing market has crashed, unemployment has risen and yet Bush gets blamed for it. Bush separated himself from the dems...he actually did something to protect our nation when under attack. He made brutally tough decisions that none of you ignorant assholes who criticize him could do. Btw, Saddam had wmds!!! Dumb idiots
So,you cunt. That's how you want to play it, huh? Censoring me? Figures. That's part of your ideology.

Ok. Here it is again. 1: Socialized medicine. 2: Wealth redistribution. 3: The appointing of known communists as "czars". 4: The take over ov G.M. 5: The total disregard by the executive branch of congress. Healthcare is 1/6 of the entire GDP. That in and of itself ought to prove their/his socialist agenda.

1) we've had it before Obama, and we'll have it after. At least now it'll make some fiscal sense.
2) {see #1}. Problem for USA, is that primary wealth distribution has been from poor to rich, NOT the other way around.
3) Grow up. That's a MEDIA invented term for positions that have been appointed long before this POTUS started doing it. Not an ode to pre-Soviet Russia.
4) which is back on its feet and repaying loans EARLY with interest.
Is THIS the best you can come up with?????

@ImmortalSynn That's all I need to come up with. All the double talk in the world can't erase FACTS! #1 we didn't have socialized medicine before Hussein. #2 More class warfare, with no basis in reality, only propaganda. #3 I never said it was an ode to pre-Soviet Russia, but nice try to deflect the fact he appoints known communists. #4 GM would have been fine, letting the market work on it's own. Damn. OWNED! AGAIN!

1) FALSE. Ever heard of Medicaid?
2) Oh really? Then kindly explain how the top 5% of the wealthy have contributed less to the nation's GDP, but gained more of its percentage of wealth generated, over the last 30yr, if wealth flow hasn't been poor to rich.
3) Oh? Then cite specifically how you "know" them to be communists.
4) Not according to GM themselves. But you know better, right?

I met both President Bush HW and W and was left with the realization that both are honorable men of great integrity none of which can be said of the fraud that is Barry Soertoro aka Barrack Hussein Obama. This Indonesian former Kenyan citizen is clearly afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder compounded by a Hitler like sense of omnipotence. The anti-American leftist have shoved this incompetent egoist down our throat for the next four years. I only hope we can survive his reign.

The Bushes were Honorable men?! HA! They are both ass-kissers of the Saudis and don't give a damn about the American government or the world in general! They lied to the American government over and over and over. Obama's NOT egotistical! He's one of the most intelligent presidents we had since JFK. He's more intouch with the people more than Bush ever was. If Bush is so honorable then why did he let other americans for dead in New Orleans back in 2005? Honorable?! HA Bullshit!

Answer:
because rampant capitalism without the mild restraints of very limited socialism, cannot sustain itself. And the opposite is true to... socialism without capitalism is doomed to failure.
So many people, who listen to polarizing windbags (on both sides, so yes that includes the likes of Olbermann and O'Donnell just as much as it does Limbaugh and Hannity) think that Socialism and Capitalism are mortally-opposed ideologies, when in truth, neither can work without the other

First of all, calm down kiddie, before your brain overheats.
Secondly, I'll call bullshit on Marx all day everyday, so get used to that. For the exact same reason described. Though he actually wrote extremely little about transitory politics in the manifesto, the problem with that concept is Marxist Socialism still employs classism (i.e., the working class) and thus has as little incentive to transition to Communism as an unfettered Capitalist society. This isn't difficult.

@ImmortalSynn Capitalism has NOTHING to do with fascism, sheep. Fascism is the right wing of socialism, which by it's very nature is Leftist.

Indeed it's not... the comparison, for those with the cognitive ability to figure it out; was that both are predictable, give plenty of warning, and have nothing to do with the policies of GWB.

It's a shame that you can't find anything else to do with your tome besides write incredibly ignorant comments to those of us who want to simply thank the man who DID keep us safe. You really need to read the president's job description, because nowhere does it say that the president has control over the weather, or the economy for that matter. I'm just saying think about what you are saying before you say it. Otherwise people will just think that you're an idiot.

"You really need to read the president's job description"
...indeed, I did. It's this peculiar little document called the Constitution-- y'know, the one that this administration has spent at least five of the last 8 years actively shredding, as opposed to PROTECTING and UPHOLDING.

Taking a line out of context is not the same as me saying it. You are implying that Bush sat in his office all day and thought, "How can I screw over America today". No of course he didn't. He thought of how to protect Americans. How have you been inconvenienced by any laws that he has enacted? Also if you are an Obama supporter you might like to know that Obama is keeping over half of Bush's policies. Get your news from other sources and think before talking.
TheAffrontedAmerican 3 years ago
It's said that assumption is the cause of all fuckups... and boy did you just prove that.
I get my news from dozens of sources, and actually DO think for myself, as opposed to relying on shtick-promoting talking radio-based heads to analyze things for me-- as is the disturbing pattern for the rest of my party.
As for Bush, I don't believe he sat around thinking of how to screw America... so much as thinking how to further his own self-serving ambitions, regardless of cost or consequence.

If you are not able to keep this a civil debate between two equal Americans then there is no reason to debate you. You say that assumptions are bad, then don't imply that I can't think for myself. There is a reason that I even watch MSNBC even though they do a travesty to journalism. And I have noticed that no matter what the other side to a story is wrong, but the side that people believe is the one that they here the most about. I look for that which no one knows. Not conspiracies.

"then don't imply that I can't think for myself."
...spare me the victim BS.
Or perhaps you can show me exactly where I "implied" ~anything~ about you specifically.
That said, if what you're referring to is my statement on assumption; that was certainly no implication, that was a statement of fact: you made a pisspoor assumption (re: news sources) and I called you on it. And stand by it, for that matter.
ImmortalSynn 3 years ago
There is no gain for me to debate you especially because you are only attempting to give the "gotcha" statement. You're not open to any other ideas nor do you consider the points of view of other people. You may attack former President Bush. There are things that he has done that i disagree with. There were things that Clinton did that I didn't like either. Open your eyes and open your mind and for once consider the opinions and ideals of others. You might agree with them.
TheAffrontedAmerican 3 years ago
What a weakling copout... I'm open to plenty of ideas, so long as they're presented with enough FORETHOUGHT and CORROBORATION to stand against any rebuttal I might have. Do you have what it takes to present such? Apparently not. But there are plenty who do, and I welcome there discourse here-- hence putting this thing up in the first place.
ImmortalSynn 3 years ago
You should be ashamed of yourself if you are for Obama. Obama gives a message of unity and forgiveness. I will not agree with everything that Obama will do but I will support him when he proposes logical solutions to complicated problems. That's what you're supposed to do with your leaders. Challenge them on what you disagree with but when it is over leave it be don't dwell on it. I have best wishes for Obama, but the American people have a lot of lessons to learn and they have 4 years to do it.
TheAffrontedAmerican 3 years ago
That is well put. People are ignorant to think that the problems we face are attributed soley by Bush. It takes a whole nation to bring us to the current state we are in. To sit here and make rude comments about a man who basically gave himself to the American people for 8 years is a total disgrace to our nation.

"America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict"
That is correct, Bush. For who in America has been: murdering off arabs with our money, killing our children through legalized MURDER AKA abortion, brainwashing our children to die in wars for their wealth and power, stealing our tax dollars and our weapons for the last 40+ years while falsely claiming they're our friends and at the same time passing themselves off as "God's chosen people"?

Fuck that! I don't blame bush for the Iraq war or for 9/11. I call him a fucking retard because of the obvious reason: he acts like a fucking retard!!! You're right; people will always complain no matter what the president does. Because Clinton never did anything wrong to the country, everyone had to go apeshit on him for cheating on his wife. Obama will not be the same as Bush. I can't say that Obama will not make mistakes because I don't know, but no one can screw up as bad as Bush did.

There are many things that Bill Clinton did that were bad besides just banging his secretary, dishonoring the office of the President and dishonoring our country. He signed a little thing called NAFTA. If you look at your child's toy and look at where it was made. Thanks to Bill Clinton it is made in various other countries except for ours. I wonder why so many people have been unemployed for so long.

"destroyer of the environment"? That's funny considering that it was first under Bush that the White House finally recognized global warming as legitimate.
"mismanagement of the economy"? That's another funny one considering the housing boom got started shortly before Bush took office when Clinton started leaning on mortgage companies to give more loans to minorities...qualified or not. It's okay, let's blame Bush for everything else in the next 4 years too.

"the housing boom got started shortly before Bush took office"
...and was nourished for years thereafter under this administration's complacency. Blaming the housing bubble on Clinton is like blaming a failure on the MCAT/LSAT to behind absent on the first day of kindergarten.

I'm not saying Bush had nothing to do with it, but I think to blame all of the country's problems solely on Bush is foolish. And let's face it, how much hell do you think Bush would have taken from house and senate democrats for stopping it? They would have cried bloody murder calling him a racist for keeping minorities out of homes. I seem to remember the hearings on the topic from another politician who was ostricized in 04 for voicing the concerns. It's okay though, Bush's fault.

I'm going to specifically address to all you Bush-supporters here, for whoever thinks Bush was a good president, you seriously should get mentally checked. Like HELLO! He sent our troops to a fake war in promises that our country will preserve justice and peace, when actually LIED to us because it was actually a war to get more oil. But of course having our "brave, heroic" 19-year olds die for a lie seems good enough reason for you. Sorry all but the truth hurts. Let's go Obama!

I cant believe you people. He is our President. He deserves our respect even though you dont agree with his decisions. Its unbelievable how you treat him. Everything that he has done for our country, putting all his energy into trying to lead the most powerful nation on the planet. I would like to see any of you try to do that. I cant stand Obama, but I Respect him because I love my country, and he represents that. So all of you should respect Bush, unless you truely dont love this country

I am ashamed of him and ashamed to admit that I voted twice for him. He has lied and misused intelligence and has persistently overstepped overstepped his bounds.
Frankly, I don't even know why I watched this video. This man's words completely hollow to me...

The terrorist attacks were made by TERRORISTS that hate America. Bush, like any othe prez would have done, tried to stop the terrorist attacks. And what the fuck are u talking about doing harm to his allies??? Iraq is now our ally, and its done good for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia wont suffer terrorist attack from Iraq BECAUSE Bush fought terrorists in Iraq.

ImmortalSynn 3 years ago
Allies like France that refuses to stand up and fight for anything that's right and keep friends with everyone. People who fight to simply keep friends end up bargaining on principle, and those that stand on principle become more divisive, but strengthen ties with the allies we keep. If an ally refuses to stand with us, then what good are they as an ally? Yay for the United Nations!

Bush will go down as one of the most under appreciated presidents we will ever have. The dems are the people that need the help. Since the dems have taken control of congress,the housing market has crashed, unemployment has risen and yet Bush gets blamed for it. Bush separated himself from the dems...he actually did something to protect our nation when under attack. He made brutally tough decisions that none of you ignorant assholes who criticize him could do. Btw, Saddam had wmds!!! Dumb idiots
