No wonder people are “turning away” from him! What a boring, meaningless existence that would be.

And if we’re at war with Islam, we’ve been at war with Christianity since the founding of this country.

Fredgys Ansord(no 17) wrote, among a lot of utterly ignorant and incoherent rubbish, “Scenario: Bush and Secret Service gets off the plane. AmNASTY International attempts to arrest him”. Emm, first, Amnesty International is a non-governmental organisation, which lobbies for the release of prisoners of conscience. It does not now, nor never had, any powers of arrest.

Second, if you go to war with Islam, how do you win? You put yourself up against over a billion people, you confirm every negative idea they have about your country, and you will have to kill every one of them. The American idea and genocide are such a natural fit, no?

I stopped reading after you said Islam was at war with America… I think you need to look up the definition of “religion”, read up on Islam (wikipedia will do), and then think of all the possible implications of your sentence.

And also, I’m not sure what the founding of “America” was (so I lied, I read your last three sentences). Are you referring to when nomads first entered the Americas via the Bering Strait? Or maybe when the Vikings landed in the area around Newfoundland?

The US was founded on principles set out in a large part by a group of Freemasons who considered their group and ideals as independent of religion. You could argue that the US was founded on theistic principles, but to argue for a certain religion is incorrect.

Regardless, if the founding fathers were brought to the present day, I doubt they’d have much of an opinion on socialist principles. They’d instead be paralyzed for fear of our shiny, sleek, effortlessly fast Ford F-150’s, America’s number one selling pick-up truck.
“SO MUCH TORQUE!!”

-9/11 itself happened on Bush’s watch after he’d spent the entire previous month on vacation, because he was a lazy no-talent surrounded by a team of lazy no-talents. Note that Bush has recently said that being criticized by Kanye West made him feel worse than 9/11 did–but I digress.

-Richard Reid successfully got his shoe-bomb onto an airplane. Reid himself damaged the bomb so it couldn’t fully detonate, so no one can take credit for stopping him.

-The anthrax mailer was never even identified, let alone stopped.

-The Beltway snipers, Fort Hood massacre, and Virginia Tech massacre were all major post-9/11 security breaches that all involved individuals who had previously been reported to authorities for violent threatening behavior.

Neither Bush nor his War on Terra ever kept us safe.

Funny, I was thinking the same exact thing earlier this AM.

Really – birth certificate? You’re suggesting that 50 years ago a small conspiracy faked a birth certificate, bribed newspapers and hospital staff, to fake the location of a child whom they knew was going to be president, (even though he would have been an American citizen anyway, since his mother was). How did they know he would be elected 46 years later? Why would they bother? If it was important that he be born on American soil, why not just keep the mom-to-be in the US?

It’s not just that these kind of conspiracies are believed when there’s no supporting evidence. It’s that they are so frackin’ *stupid!

Bush accomplished something that possibly no other president could do. He made his dad look good.

Little, Bush said he went to war in Iraq because they wouldn’t let the weapons inspectors inspect (only they were allowed). Then we went in to clear out the WMD (which didn’t exist). Then we went to war against Iraq because “that man tried to kill my Dad”. Then we went to war because we wanted to establish democracy. Then a regime change. All the while ignoring the man and organization who actually attacked us – remember Bin Laden, the man that Bush wouldn’t stop hunting down, no matter how long it takes? *That* only lasted a couple of months.
