“George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, kept us safe. I can forgive much for that.”

If only the thickheaded group of bitter individuals could let this sink in…

Bush is getting a street, but Clinton is getting a statue.

…let’s hope no more Orthodox churches in Kosovo were burned after this protest, or were they all destroyed already?

There are two things I don’t blame the President for:

1) The tanking of the economy
2) The mores of society

You can’t legislate culture and you also can’t tell people in a feeding frenzy that maybe, just maybe they’re overinflating the value of their own homes, taking out heedless loans on the equity, and then loaning more wasted money to people who will never pay it back, while repackaging that debt as AAA bond-level investment to all of the rest of the world.

When the country gets into a cultural binge, like it did with housing and mortgages, there’s not much the President can do. He could have rolled in the tanks to stop people from selling their condos in Chicago, I suppose, but that’s about it.

As far as society’s mores are concerned, I also don’t place any of the blame on him. What’s he supposed to do? Culture is something that comes from the people, not the government. He came into office saying that he didn’t want to “kick the gays” and that would have been a big mistake. He also wasn’t by termperament or credentials a member of the pro-life Conservative movement. He acted as precisely who he was, it’s other people who misread that.

defending his absolutely correct policies and his absolutely correct actions from the Democrats and the media as he’s done defending and advancing liberty in formerly Muslim nations we’d be a vastly different – and vastly better, and vastly safer – nation.

George W Bush has done more than any president to advance freedom abroad. Iraq is more democratic than most European countries, really. Clinton did absolutely nothing for countries like Iraq or Kosovo. The liberals say they want to export American democracy, but secretly don’t want to because they hate our Constitution, and wish we would adopt a Soviet-style government.

But you are wrong about his policies at home. The only people he took away freedoms from are groups that support terrorists, such as Muslim political organizations and liberals that supply them with lawyers. Know that O is in the White House, I’m not sure I want the patriot act around anymore, since he’ll probably use it against Christians and other conservative groups. But when W. was around, I didn’t care if people listened to my phone calls because I’m not a terrorist, and I have nothing to hide.
And I don’t see how he eroded the free market either. Corporations are good for America, largely, though people don’t want to hear it, and they sometimes government help to stay afloat.

…alll those half-men and half-women in our MSM and chattering classes who spent the past few years criticizing him will pretend that, oh no, they never had anything cross to say about 43 at all.

I think it’s a testament to the quality of Bush’s leadership on the world stage, that he’s thought highly of in India and Kosovo and Poland—all places that have been imperiled by terrorism and totalitarianism.

Meanwhile, places like Paris and London and Davos revel in spitting on 43. Notice that those are all places that have been able to revel in safety and security the fast few years, because bold adults (like George W.Bush) have been willing to do violence on their behalf.
