The Bush Administration Is The Yard Stick All Other Administrations Will Be Measured Against

[Harry Dresden]

Dean must be getting low on ideas.....

Really. I'll bet he's aped every Bush-hate screed from the past dozen years somewhere online.

90% of the stuff he posts is just re-hashed shit from the shit he has already posted .....welcome to Deans world were the only negative things that have ever happened since the 60's is because of the Republicans....you will never see him bad mouth the near God like Democrats...

USMB has some of the most exquisite maroons in the business. Sit back and enjoy the show...chuckle

.

I'll try. My weakness is that I take reality, and my family, very seriously.

Reality and family are not weaknesses, they are strengths.

USMB and seriousness, however, can become incompatible at times..

.

Agreed!

If liberalism is so great, why must it be mandated?

That's the problem with freedom. It must be fought for. And who do we fight? Conservatives. When do you ever fight liberals for freedom? And conservatives fighting for freedom is laughable. Unless it's conservatives fighting for the right to discriminate against gays or blacks or against women controlling their own bodies? They lied us into Iraq and then lied that it was about "freedom". So putting women in burkas and making Islam the national religion with all laws based on Islam? That's how they see "freedom"???? Yea, sure it is.

Yes, an education is a rare thing.

1. There is no problem with freedom. The problem is with the proclivity against it.
2. Freedom fighters don't fight conservatives who want more freedom, they fight fascists who want less of it. How do you not know this?

3. I think you've risen to a new level of ignorance. Conservatives don't "fight to discriminate", on the contrary, history PROVES that they principle fights for "gays and blacks and women" (check out history). Check out who voted for what in 1964.

4. It is pathetic that you, in 2014, site the lie of no WMD in Iraq as a diss on Bush. Maroon, the entire world stage knew Saddam had WMD because we sold it to him, and he USED IT ON THE KURDS. Libs are so easy to debate. The issue of WMD Is completely political, but you've obviously missed that memo.

5. Interesting: Your dis-interest in human rights of Islamic women is informative.

I find you to be too illinformed for further debate. Educate yourself, and I'd be happy to engage.

The fact that Republicans constantly bring up and misrepresent history proves one of two things. Either their complete ignorance or their determined ignorance. Republicans insist that Lincoln was a "conservative" but become confused when you ask if Lincoln was a "confederate". Why? Because in the middle 60's, when the conservatives fled the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party because blacks joined the Democratic Party, they try to stick Democrats with all the evil things Conservatives did when they controlled that party. It proves Republicans are either stupid or lying sacks and know it. What kind of people do the shitty things that Republicans do and even have the nerve to say "Jesus would approve"? This is a dirty party filled with the misled and led by scum.

Why say something just to say it. Lets just stick to facts. Republicans leave so many facts, quotes and video.

Lincoln was the original Republican.

Conservatism is something else.

Either way, who manifested the end of slavery? For that matter, a 100 years later, who was voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Have you a clue?

We must never forget all the amazing things Bush did for this country. His many accomplishments will be remembered for decades. After what he was able to do, no other president will come anywhere close to him.

"How conspiratorial are you? Take this quiz!

The outrageousfinal hours of the Clinton presidencyprovoked many hitherto-silent Democrats to denounce Clinton as the most unworthy individual ever to occupy the presidency. Former Carter chief-of-staff Hamilton Jordan, for instance, lambastes theClintons as the “first grifters,”denouncing the extreme corruption of the former first-couple.

Take a stab at the quiz below:

1. In an NBC interview with Lisa Meyers, Juanita Broaderick gave a detailed account of a rape she suffered at the hands of then-Arkansas attorney general Bill Clinton. Journalists uncovered considerable corroborating evidence. Newsweek’s account of the story added the editorial comment “sounds like our guy,” a sentiment that Elizabeth Gracen, Kathleen Willey, and perhaps many others would second. Nevertheless, it is OK to defend Clinton in this instance because:
a. It’s only about sex.
b. Lisa Meyers, NBC, and Newsweek are all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.
c. Henry Kissinger murdered the president of Chile.
d. The Republicans want to give us a tax cut we can’t afford.
e. It’s not at all OK. No decent person would defend such conduct.


2. Just prior to a House vote on impeachment, Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of a Sudanese factory that he claimed (without any credible evidence) was manufacturing poison gas for Osama bin Ladin. Attorney General Janet Reno warned him that the bombing violated international law. Nevertheless, it is OK to defend Clinton in this instance because:
a. It’s only about sex.
b. The Sudanese and Janet Reno are part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.
c. Webster’s doesn’t define Tomahawk missiles as “bombs.”
d. We had to bomb right away because of Ramadan–no–wait! That’s Iraq.
e. It’s not at all OK. No decent person would defend such conduct.


3. In 1996, the Communist Chinese poured thousands of dollars into Clinton’s re-election campaign. In return, Chinese arms merchants got top-level access to the president. Nevertheless, it is OK to defend Clinton in this instance because:
a. It’s only about sex.
b. They can’t blow us up for at least five years.
c. Hitler was a sinner. Mother Theresa was a sinner. Therefore, Mother Theresa was Hitler.
d. Bill Clinton made the trains run on time.
e. It’s not at all OK. No decent person would defend such conduct.


4. Along with Mark Rich, Roger Clinton, Susan McDougal, and several high-level drug dealers, Clinton granted clemency to Mel Reynolds, a former congressman convicted of fraud. It is OK to defend Clinton’s pardon of Reynolds because:
a. Hey! Watch it with those trick questions! I happen to know that Mel Reynolds was the guy who left Congress after being convicted of sexual assault on a minor, child pornography, and obstruction of justice. Like I said, it’s only about sex.
b. It’s the economy, stupid!
c. The Republicans only care about unborn babies.
d. Ken Starr once worked for the tobacco companies.
e. It’s not at all OK. No decent person would approve the Reynolds pardon.



If you answered “e” to any of the above questions, watch out. You obviously are part of a vast right-wing conspiracy that wants to end social security, pollute every river and stream in America, and institute prayer and Bible reading in the public schools.
But at least you earned an “A” on this quiz."How conspiratorial are you?
How conspiratorial are you

What Bush did was amazingly stupid. What he did was a reckless indulgence. I am not a liberal democrat, either. Bush didn't confront Islam or the Saudis funding ISLAM. Why is that? Don't bomb Bagdad, bomb Mecca. Let's get real here. We are at war with Islam, is that so hard to recognize? Even Bush wouldn't say that. Wake up people. One day, we are going to have to face facts. Islam is the enemy, remember 9/11.

actually the sheople in america need to wake up and realise that congress is the enemy.

all those running the country in washington are criminals who go around starting wars with other countrys serving their masters the bankers.every president from here on out that gets in is going to be wosre than the previous one.has been ever since 1981 and always will as long as we got this corrupt ONE PARTY SYSTEM of demopublicans and reprocrats.

The Bush administration is indeed the yard stick for what all other administrations will be measured against,. the next president will do what Obomination has done,.expand upon what Bushwacker got started.
