Or that George I so emphatically lied while "shaking his finger" and ranting "Watch My Lips" that there would be NO NEW TAXES!!!  (Bush's emphasis.)  
Hey, give Bush the elder props. He did the responsible thing for the country at great political cost to himself. Few Presidents have been willing to do that.

Just noticed under my name - Civic Leader.

How did that happen?  This is indeed the end of civilization as we know it!


Number of posts.

Or that George II lied SO many ways, killed 4,000 of our children,

I forget, how many of our children did LBJ kill after winning the 1964 election by portraying Goldwater as a war hawk, ready to nuke Nam?

Yes, I know Eisenhower sent "advisors".  JFK did some build-up.  Nixon kept me out of Nam, spring '73.

Nathanm makes the point that I have made before.  Couldn't care less how or that he got busted.

What is shameful is that Reagan didn't get busted for his lies and criminal activities, even if that "Great American Hero" Oliver North did!!  (Convicted twice, then let off by "reactionary judges" who arbitrarily overruled the finding of what, two juries??

Or that George I so emphatically lied while "shaking his finger" and ranting "Watch My Lips" that there would be NO NEW TAXES!!!  (Bush's emphasis.)  Or that he "hired" Manuel Noriega while head of the CIA, putting the lawfully elected government out.  (Then had to go back as President and "fire" him.)

Or that George II lied SO many ways, killed 4,000 of our children, turned us into a war criminal nation (can you spell torture AND rendition?), and just pretty much in general ran the economy into the ground  (you did live here through the last 10 years or so?)  Not to mention the "freebies" he gave his buddies at Halliburton to the tune of tens of billions of 'no bid' contracts.  Wow, I wish I had those kind of friends, so I could practice graft and corruption, too.  Oh, wait...I have a conscience and a well developed set of morals, so I guess that wouldn't work....

And who wants to see our President drunk in public virtually every time he was out, and then try to give the German Chancellor a back rub??  That is worse than any or all of the things that Clinton did.

I ain't bitter!  Life is too much fun for bitter!!!





Try adding a little more fiber and less Huffpo and Koz in your diet.

Naw... we have had a collective, total societal enema going for the last 30 years, so I'm good.

Would be nice to see the "moral and pious" actually apply that to the most heinous for a change.

But a suggestion for more fiber is just as good....
