I may not agree with all his politics, but I do know that he is a truly Good decent man that loves his country. I'd be honored to meet him.
The work he does with soldiers in his retirement moves me...I feel like he truly feels indebted to them and the situations they have endured.

quote:Yeah, he kept his mouth shut on the president that told DOJ to not enforce laws and so many other train wreck issues.
That narrative of the "long standing tradition" of ex-presidents being silent is out the window I guess.
Now he wants to talk about someone doing what he didn't have the balls to do.
GTFO Georgie.

LOL at the Trumpkins getting miffed over totally innocuous comments by W

He let the MSM kick his arse daily. Didn't say a word about Obama. Got to thing he's smarting over the arse kicking the Trump did to his brother.

The other day I was talking with a member of the famed political Bush family who was telling me they hated the idea of big government and a ruling political class.
The Bush ruling class - ala Rockafellers, Rothschilds, etc...
Georgie and HW stole their Presidential agendas from George Orwell...
quote:
"The goal of the wars is to enable the economy to be kept going for the benefit of the High, its military, and its bureaucracy and control personnel, but at the same time to assure that any excess production capacity is prevented from producing consumer goods for the lower classes.
That excess capacity is instead directed to producing excess military goods which will ultimately rust away or be destroyed in warfare; that is, the excess capacity is deliberately wasted in order to turn it away from the production of goods which would result in added leisure or well-being for the lower classes.
Those classes are instead continually forced into group activities expressing hatred toward the current enemy and dependency upon and love toward their benevolent rulers for protecting them from that enemy. They are thereby led to accept the consumer shortages, the poverty, and the other privations to which they are subjected.
Their economic status is kept at the subsistence level, forcing their priorities to be focused on simply acquiring basic food, clothing, and shelter. They are thus denied either the time or the inclination to question the fairness or permanence of their societal condition, or to otherwise evolve into a threat to the established hierarchy."
- George Orwell in his book "1984"

Apparently Dubya still doesn't understand that the media relentlessly attacking him while he just stood there and took it is one reason that so much of his political capital was moderately eroded over time and how the narrative was so against him all the time.
When he didn't fight back against the media, it was over for him.
And he's taking it a step further giving the media more soundbites to use against his party.

Carl Rove cited the Bush Administration's reticence to call out the press as a major mistake. Sounds like 'W' did not take the message to heart.
Yep. He still doesn't get it 8 years after he left office and he likely never will. He fricked up on actual policy sure but the media made damn sure he would have no chance of using any political capital he had for meaningful policy that still had a chance of succeeding.
Donald Trump's administration will not be making the same mistake Dubya's did with the media.
