So there is a book out featuring pictures of idiot, long faced libs holding up
signs saying "I'm sorry" that Bush got re-elected. (The book is actually called "Sorry Everybody".) The basic premise of the
book and it's accompanying website is so incredibly ignorant and arrogant I
can't even begin to describe it. The idea that the entire world sits around
caring who runs our government is insane. Most people walking down the sidewalk
in the lefty capitol of New York can't name the President of the US with any
accuracy.
This couples with another lunatic claim: Bush is the worst
president ever. How on earth could he get that rating from lefties? I would
expect most open minded liberals to tell me that the man who brought us the
Trail of Tears, Andrew Jackson was the worst. He's the one who brought us one of
the biggest human rights travesties in American history. Almost as bad as the
slave owners Washington and Jefferson.
Couple this with Jackson and Washington's
war records and you get something patriotic libs really hate. Or how
about Franklin Pierce? He's the guy who tried to buy Cuba so as to keep an equal
number of slave states in the Union. Yes, he actually tried to spread slavery.
But somehow Pierce gets overlooked as well. How about President Grant?
He was a notorious drunk who had one of the most scandal ridden administrations
in history, rivaling even that of Richard Nixon, someone else overlooked by
liberal morons.
Sorry lefties - personally I think you're letting your
hatred of Bush blind you.
But this is not to say that Bush has been a
great president. He's done lots of things that have pissed me off. Starting with
his signature of Campaign Finance Reform. Apparently he thinks that we all have
too much freedom of speech. Don't get me wrong though, CFR had overwhelming
support of the Democrat left (and John McCain.) Bush also created a new,
powerful group of Democratic voters in baggage screeners at airports. Thank god
we can't discriminate against applicants based on things like criminal records
or we'd have to think of ourselves as discriminating against someone. Bush has
also swelled the Federal budget to a level that is unseen by anyone. The latest
budget is almost 3 trillion dollars. We could buy several third world nations
for what we're going to blow in pork and corruption alone. Bush is also in favor
of amnesty for illegals. You'd never think it when you watch pro illegal rallies
though featuring signs saying "F*ck Bush, I want citizenship".
But it
hasn't all been bad. The Bush tax cuts have lead us to one of the best economies
ever known. More Americans own houses in 2007 than ever before. Bush has also
helped keep us out of the Kyoto Accords - thank god, since it's recently been
revealed that even if we do sign on to Kyoto it won't help.
Basically
from a historic perspective, Bush isn't the worst president on record. He's
certainly not as bad as his political rivals would have you believe. But he's
not the best either.
