If you werent bashing Bush then what was this statement supposed to be ?

JMJ;
” But Bush is a lame duck who will be out of office come next January.’

Sounds like bashing to me.

Who are these people who generaly agree with you ? Got any data to back that up? Or are we al lsupposed to take your word for it ?

I’m really tired of you always throwing up your being a student of history in everyones face, SO WHAT?

I’m a student of Culinary arts and if you asked me what was in a Boulliabaise I could give you a recipe for a bomb if I wanted to.
Why should anyone respect your historical renditions of of the past when your bias is stamped all over your forehead ?
Speak from provable fact dude ! And stop expecting others just to take your word for things just because you profess to have some superior knowledge that you never back up with anything.

JMJ;
“Most people agree with me about Bush in general, Micky. I’m not the crazy one.”

I’ll take a guess and figure that you surround yourself with people who agree with you ? So why would you hear anything different ?

Understand that most people agree with Jersey about Bush…most people also believed the earth was flat until they became more informed. That’s the difference between believing an agenda-driven media and living the life - which I’m doing.

Nonsense. Washington was a completely different situation, with completely different opinions about him. As a student of history I see no comparison here.

“I have shown you the list of all the great things Bush has done.”

As I said, even among those things to which one can ascribe as accomplishments, many many people see them as bad things! You’d be hard-pressed to find anything he has accomplished that is popular beyond that minority of people who support him anyway.

“In a post about Castro the monster you fail to point out what reprehensable man he was. And yet the story of Castros resignatin offers a chance for you to bash our president ?”

I wasn’t bashing the president. I simply pointed out the Cuba would be better off if Bush leaves them alone.

Most people agree with me about Bush in general, Micky. I’m not the crazy one.

You say its hard to imagine Bush being popular except for those who like him now.
Well DUH?
You dont like the guy !
So why you imagine anything short of him being the worst pres ever ?
You know, I understand your disagreements with Bush, I get it.
But your hatred and vitriol are just over the top bro.
I just read your post on Castro finally calling it quits. And no where in the post do you mention what a bastard creep monster Castro was. But instead you end the post bashing our president by saying he will not be of any consequence in Cuba because he is lame and bla bla bla.
In a post about Castro the monster you fail to point out what reprehensable man he was. And yet the story of Castros resignatin offers a chance for you to bash our president ?
I mean, what the hell is that all about ?

And stop telling me what the future will hold. Its ridculous.
And thats being nice.
People said the same things about Lincoln It took centuries to see the fruits of his labor. And Bush will be afforded tha same amount of time also. Then I believe the world will look back and say “Bush got it right”

Saying that you cant find one positive thing to say about Bush is a clear and undeniable example of total unbalance man. That statement is about as far out and off the mark as it gets.
You really sound quite scary.

I can think of many thousands of families on both sides for whom it has been a lot harder.

Washington had his detractors among the press and the eiltes, but he was widely popular among the people, even among the loyalists, most of whom chose to stay and unite with the revolutionaries after the war.

Before the constitution there was the AoC. The AoC was too federalistic and divisive, and so yet another conservative construct failed and the liberal and progressive, more centralized, constitution we have today was drafted and passed later. Without it, the country would surely have fallen apart before long, and almost did anyway.

There is a time and a place for all things, even isolationism. Only a over-zealous, unrealistic ideologue wouldn’t think so.

I made that comment about the military to make a point. Did you get that point?

Micky,

It’s very hard to imagine Bush ever being popular except among those who like him now. It’s hard to imagine anything good to come from his presidency. I can’t think of a single solitary benefit Bush has brought to America. Not one. I can ussually find something positive to say about any president, even one’s I don’t personally like, like Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton. Personally, as I’ve said before, I think Nixon was the best president we’ve had since Nixon, and that’s only saying so much. But Bush will go down among the very worst. The onlly “benefits” even his supporters can show are still divisive and disagreed. Bush has no universal appeal whatsoever. He is only popular among about a third of the population, and will always be that way. That’s not a great legacy by any stretch.

Reagan left a popular President, despite Iran-Contra. JFK managed to avoid getting us into a nuclear conflict with Russia during the Cuban missile crisis. Do you trust that the current President would have been able to achieve a similar result?
