George W. Bush explains Presidency - Decision Points

[fladgyglitz]

@JohninColumbus : Good question. Probably because he and Uncle DICK have so much dirt on every last retrobate in DC that no one dares to go after them for fear of their own ass winding up in the Pen. Bush & Cheney are guilty.

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Why isn't Bush in prison for war crimes?

[1BustedMyth]

Hmmm....

Would be very funny

If it were a joke!

[PrivateJoker17]

@1BustedMyth It is a joke.

[1BustedMyth]

@PrivateJoker17 I ain't laughing, nor are thousands of dead troops, civilians, New Orleans residents

[PrivateJoker17]

@1BustedMyth I agree George Bush himself and his actions were not funny, but making fun of him sure is. Everbody here would agree with you, that is why this video was made. To insult him, but in a light hearted way.

[1BustedMyth]

@PrivateJoker17 , Cheers to that.

You will have to excuse me, nothing about my feelings toward Bush and his associates is light hearted.

I'm not exactly sure how many decades of progress we have lost as a civilisation due to these criminals.

All the best

[PrivateJoker17]

@1BustedMyth I agree with you man

[1BustedMyth]

@PrivateJoker17 , Cheers buddy

Can't we just forget about George Warmonger Bush, and pretend that the last 8 years in which he drove the US downhill from a healthy nation into virtual bankruptcy didn't happen?

@youneac "Can't we just forget about George Warmonger Bush"

Those who forget are doomed to repeat.

@TheHigherVoltage "Those who forget are doomed to repeat."

History doesn't repeat itself; historians repeat each other. By making us focus on the far past, rather than on what's going on now and in the future, those who pull the strings make us tie ourselves to the other ends of those strings and become willing marionettes. Most totalitarian regimes started with a crowd shouting "Never again!".

[TheHigherVoltage]

@youneac insightful :)

[mistacramer]

@youneac

Shallow strawman. Historians do not say ignore the present(aka recent history) or the future or other fields such as science, technology, trades, etc. Totalitarian regimes typically produce lies and propaganda about the past and scapegoated groups. There have been incredible persecutions of intellectuals, historians, academics, journalists, etc. by totalitarian regimes in the 20th century.

[youneac]

@mistacramer *Every* regime tries to warp history in its favor. Historians, as well as other knowledgeable and/or influential people, are only persecuted if they are perceived as a threat by those in power. The means and the subtlety of persecution may differ, from banishment and execution to defamation of character (Lasange, Clinton), desinformation (WTC, US invasions & occupations) and "accidents" (David Kelly, Dr. Don C. Wiley & colleagues).

I think it better the frog represent W's second term voters and the scorpion Bush.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice I'm a dumbass frog.

Bush can't say it either.

Bush is the kind of guy that trips on a crack in the sidewalk and then tells everyone he meant to do that.

[Richardgwm]

It is so true.

George Bush has been a failure at everything he has ever done in his life.

[lilnicky492]

@Richardgwm ya, he is such a failure he only got elected president twice, even though he was still probably one of the worst presidents in US history

[youneac]

@Richardgwm Not really. Bush Jr. recommended grad students to move to Mexico, because he was going to run the US straight into the ground. Now there's one where he pretty much succeeded.

[JBSauce]

Thought it would change some things about myself...wow. Great impression of W, you've really got some of his mannerisms down pat.
