Historians Will Morally Impeach George W. Bush For Exploiting, Not Honoring, 9-11
by Brent Budowsky

Never in the history of our Republic has an event been ordained by our Maker to unite our Nation and our people in the rightness of the American cause, the goodness of the American idea, and the decency and courage of the American people.

With fires burning from lower Manhattan to Northern Virginia, with the blood of heroes lifting the honor of our Nation, the American people stood united as one, friends of freedom everywhere stood with us.

Who was not moved by the courage of our police and fire fighters rushing into burning buildings to save our fellow Americans? Who wasn't inspired by the courage and valor of Pentagon workers who rushed out of the building when the attack first struck and then, realizing their collagues and friends were in grave danger, turned around and rushed right back in, to save them?

The infamy of the crime was met with the united will and the united spirit of a United America, backed by the decent opinion of men and women in every corner of the world.

1. That's what I love about Americans

Always low-key and restrained in their rhetoric.

[Wetzelbill]

2. well I can't argue with that

:)

4. That first sentnce is enough to make you diabetic.

:rofl:

13. From the people that brought us News Corporation...

Rupert is one of yours, is he not? I've spent some time down under too my friend, you must have a lot of experience with "restrained"!

3. jr will be regarded as the only president that actually did great harm

and brought suffering to the country and the rest of the world both intentionally and unintentionally.

[EFerrari]

5. Well, so did Reagan. He's still hated all over the world and he's dead.

6. Historians will probably view reagan as a vacant "great communicator"

who's failures will be attributed to others that actually developed the policies. He will be saved by the bogus notion that he had something to do with the fall of the Soviet Union.

Bush is singular, there has never been anything like the guy.

[EFerrari]

7. Maybe American historians. In Latin America, there are too many

families who know he was a murderous fuck.

Bush is the amplification of His Vacancy -- or, that's another way to put Junior in context.

Can you believe we're looking back at Reagan and thinking, at least *he* wasn't so bad?

Jesus.

8. oh I know

I have a friend who after years of spewing RW rhetoric to me, started saying last year that he regards himself and a few of his :puke: heroes, like McCain as "Reagan Republicans" and Bush was bad etc.

Well, I hate to break it to these people who are flocking to Reagan's so-called legacy, but he sucked pretty bad too. And that is putting it nicely. Reagan happened to have a great personality and was not as crazily stupid as Junior and that is about the best you can say about him. So yeah, he wasn't so bad compared to Dubya, but then again a kick in the nuts isn't so bad compared to getting shot either. That doesn't necessarily make either one all that good. :)

9. Reagun exported torture all over the world. That's our Ronnie!

He instigated attacks on the New Deal, too. Our schools, our health care system, our unions. Most of the homeless people in this country were put on the street by dear Ronnie. They are hitting their sixties now and there is no where for them to go.

The thing Reagan does get credit for is being an outsider and yet, climbing into power. On the other hand, he sold out every member of the Screen Actors Guild with a smile and a wave. He was a POS.

It's creepy to listen to people try to distance themselves from Junior by calling themselves "Reagan Republicans". Reagan laid down the template for everything Junior has tried to get away with.

[Wetzelbill]

10. exactly

Junior is like Reagan but without any tact whatsoever. He's like a bull in a china shop. Nothing he does makes sense or shows any restraint. Reagan laid down the template and Junior decided to go completely ballistic with the whole concept. Rhetoric,fake machoism, deficits, unnecessary military conflicts. Honestly, most people couldn't be as bad a president as Bush if they tried. He's like the perfect storm of stupidity, ignorance, corporate sellout and failed ideology. Reagan was in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's and he could only manage a deficit and the Iran-Contra Scandal. That shitty record even looks good compared to Bush.

11. my own comment has been that it is almost unbelievable that there is

someone who could make nixon look better in comparison. I never had any use for him, and even less for alzheimer ronnie, remembering him from his days as governor.

[Wetzelbill]

12. yeah, Ahhhnold got a rousing cheer

when he mentioned Nixon at the GOP convention in '04. Guess Watergate was pretty casual compared to what Bush has gotten away with.
