The problem is, the OP's willful ignorance of the facts affects everyone, because, it was on the backs on people like the OP, and some very friendly electronic voting machines, that bush has managed to stay in power. This ignorance affects everyone, not just the OP himself. And, I'm sick of "rising above"..time to drop the hammer on ignorance, with some truth.

Everyone makes mistakes. Bush made many, but you can tell hes a good person at heart when you see him off the job.
I think in the long run a lot of what he did that's considered bad will probably end up in the good arena.
I'm thankful. Being president isn't an easy job. People think it is though. People also seem to think the president is in charge of everything when in fact he isn't.
People blame Bush for how our country is doing, but there plenty of people both republican and democratic that play a GIGANTIC factor.
Heck look at our current congress. A bunch of ingrates!

Dang. I didn't realize the President had that much power to fix so many things.
I was sure that on many of these Congress had to pass legislation before the President gets the opportunity to sign off on them. Guess I was wrong. I knew I shouldn't have slept so much in history class.
Seriously, you make some good points but you should also thank the US Congress (both parties) for their failures too. While your at it go back some administrations and congresses and thank them as well.

I know fullwell that Bush is nowhere near the dictator Stalin or Hitler were. In fact, I don't think he's a dictator at all, a dictator has power, Bush is a mere puppet.
All I'm saying is that history has a way of bringing to light all those obscure facts we know nothing/little about at the present.

Obviously you are one of the many that lacks the ability to respect a different opinion. You sit in no seat of judgement over MY opinion. It is not right or wrong, just my individual thoughts. The audacity some have to
think their particulary dogma is the only one that matters.
I'm sure you have griped throughout this thread because your God given
liberties are being stripped away one by one; yet you have exemplified, in your reply to me, "Bush deserves to be bashed duh!" that which you have taken issue with, i.e. loss of freedoms.
Well as a tax paying American, and glad to be one, I also have the right of freedom of speech, just as you do.
So sad, that you are so blinded by your antipathy that you cannot even let another citizen pay gratitude to the very ones who fought to secure Your freedoms.
Maybe instead of typing on this forum, you should take some time and self evaluate to find when exactly your anger turned your heart to stone

I love how everyone compares Bush to Hitler and Stalin.
Have you ever cracked a book on these two guys; or just know them from what you read on the "internets"?
I believe Stalin killed about 20 million of his own people. Hitler killed about 12 million in the camps???
