Thank you President Bush

[Retired96]

It was a nice gesture that you and Laura visted the wounded soldiers from Fort Hood on Friday evening. No cameras and fanfare, just your deep concern for the Soldiers wounded.

Sarge,

I agree but we as a society have become so simplistic. Before I get flamed it kills me to write that opinion. I asked half the people I knew why they were voting for Obama- Maybe one gave me an honest assessment on his feelings that I respected. I didn't agree but I appreciated the well thought out answer.

The other half were just BS and not well thought out. Just following the crowd was what I interrupted.

Look what is popular on television- BS Reality TV
What does half the country want to know about? Jon and Kate and their kids.

I could give 2 shi-s about them, Bachelor, Wife Swap this that etc.

Hell half the people I swear wait for the News to tell them who to like or dislike. I may just buy these people a magic 8 ball- they can shake it before making an answer. Why do you think Glenn Beck is so popular now? The thinking man/woman finally have an outlet. I don't agree with everything he says, but I appreciate the fact he isn't a drone following the crowd.

Rant done..

Unfortunately what you said above is true.....good rant.

I would in a heartbeat if I could...

[jcioccke]

Thank you brother. Normally don't get so fired up, I let Jasper do all my talking lol

I look at the World War 2 Generation, I can only imagine what they think ( nobody asks them) or the millions of Soldier's that died during the War and now have to think about us as a society. Just makes me sick.

People just don't care what's going on in their own Country anymore. Being American meant something.

It still means something, and I believe there are more of us (patriotic, red blooded, gun clinging, religion lovin people) out there than we think. We are just the silent ones.

The media does not provide us with an outlet to voice our opinions. But take courage because we are out there, and we still hold firm to the beliefs of freedom and adherence to the greatest constitution that was ever written.

It puts a lump in my throat, and almost brings tears quite honestly.

[Futurelaw89]

What no photo-op? No camera crew following him around like a celebrity?

That's an honorable man right here. I wonder how soon comedians are going to take a jab at this one? :rolleyes:

Its sad because I actually looked for an article about this and only could find a paragraph or two. I'm sure if Obama did the same sure it would be on TMZ and be shoved down the people's throats in every media outlet, ya know..because he's such a good guy and all....

I'd vote him back in office too. He is a stand-up guy.

Wow Jcioccke, what a loaded statement. I couldn't agree more. Those soldiers were dying everyday out there in record numbers and Americans at home STILL supported the war up until its end.

A little what civilians did back home:
Women, who had worked as homemakers or had held jobs outside military-related industries, took jobs in aircraft manufacturing plants, munitions plants, military uniform production factories, and so on. As the need for steel and other resources increased, American citizens participated in rationing programs, as well as recycling and scrap metal drives. Americans also supported the war effort with their hard-earned dollars by purchasing Liberty bonds. Sold by the U.S. government, the "war" bonds raised money for the war and helped the bond purchasers feel they were doing their part for the war effort.

jc the sheep would see that as a rant. I prefer to be a shepard.

That is why the left is so enraged with Fox News. Its not spun their way. i like Glen. Some nights I sit there and yell "Breath Glen breath." but most times I find myself agreeing with him. I will take my direction from people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, and Ronald Reagan. I beleive we are responsible for ourselves and the direction our lives take. Society, our parents, criminal Justice system, or whoever else they want to blame is not the reason some don't succeed. It is because they are unwilling to put forth the effort to obtain the things in life they desire.

There that's my rant.

[173rd_the_Herd]

Thank you for saying it, I served in both Iraq and Afghanistan when he was the commander in chief and even met Laura, hes a stand up guy that didnt take crap. I always love this Bush bashing debates I get in, my response is always simple; tell me why you dont like Bush, but you cant mention Iraq.

[Sarge048]

173rd thanks for your service brother.

I met President Bush when he was still Gov. Bush. He was a great guy. I was a Motor Ofc. then and we did his escort. I sat down and talked to his Security Staff that he had (prior to getting Secret Service protection). He took the time to talk to all of us and shake our hands.

I got to see him again in 2004. He was still very classy but you could tell he was a changed man. Sept. 11th and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had taken their toll on him and you could see that they affected him greatly. I'm sure his time in that stinkhole Washington DC didn't help.

He definately had to be a happy person the day he went back to Texas.

No one has earned a great retirement more than Dubya. He kept my family safe, my country safe and my investments thriving.

History will see him a great president. Hide and watch.

Get some, Dubya!

1042 trooper, well said, by the way I love the avatar.

Ronald Reagan... He was by far the best president I think our nation has ever had.

Ronald Reagan... He was by far the best president I think our nation has ever had.

My family is very Democratic and disliked Bush heavily, and they'd agree with that statement and so would I. He made you feel proud to be an American and he was a very smart guy.

Here's the link to the story.... After I saw Fox posted it, I hit MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, etc......not a peep...... :rolleyes:

[jannino]

Reagan was definitely the best President ever.

I liked Bush as a man not so much as a President. I believe he is approachable and cared for Americans... especially our troops.

I'm sure Ft Hood appreciated seeing Bush more than our current Prez anyways.

Don'r worry, Obummer has his photo opt scheduled at Fort Hood so they'll be there.

[2411Show]

Thank You George and Laura for showing your class and caring nature by visiting FT Hood when they needed it the most. And thank you for keeping us SAFE!

[JasperST]

History will see him a great president. Hide and watch.Amen to that. He inherited a mess too but I don't remembering him blaming the other guy.

[k950]

I just posted about Reagan on anther thread about the Ft. Hood Shooting. He was the best...Bush did the best he could with the mess the Clintons left him. He also told the rest of the world not to screw with us or else. You remember when Khadafi was smack talking Reagan and he stuffed a missle down his chimney and snuffed out some of his family. Gee we never saw him again until this year. Obama better get some balls or we or going to go back so many years in defense its not funny. This socialism needs to stop!!
