Progressives Mourn the Father of Progressive Globalization: This Nobody, Not So Much
Nobody’s Opinion
So finally, the Daddy of one of the two biggest American Dynasties made it to 94, and died luckily, at the right time to make the most of his family’s legacies, which, lets face it, has really taken a beating in the last ten years.
The legacies we are hearing most of, is really not much of one when you think about it:
What’s repeated the most? He was “So kind. So bi-partisan. Everybody got along with him.”
Nobody says; “He was no Ronald Reagan.” but they should.
We can say that being a fighter pilot, was a good trait— but war hero? No, no heroic war moments there…except he actually COLD fly a jet, which none of us were sure his son could do. Flying a plane was something that many other men did, so while impressive, not above the board.
More impressive was the vast American institutions he served as the head of: Head of the CIA, ambassador to China and the United Nations, then Vice President, then President. As I listened to somebody saying that no other President in history was as experienced as H.W. Bush, well, Hillary made that same claim, and neither one of them could hold a candle to ANY of the founding fathers. Just the fact that he got the big top job all the time proved that the country had already been handed over to the rich elites who still rule out of Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Washington D.C..
It’s the same as Hillary’s long time lawyer, Podesta, getting handed the job of Secretary of Defense.
Someone said that Reagan PICKED H.W. Bush be his V.P., but history knows that Reagan really couldn’t stand the man, and the G.O.P. at the time, would only back Reagan for President IF, he made Herbert Walker his running mate.
I, like many others, didn’t really care too much for him. He had a whiny voice, never had much of an opinion about anything. I always felt like I was listening to my local pharmacist, explaining some medical prescription to me.
We all know for a fact that Daddy Bush rode into the Presidency on the back of Reagan’s success. Today I actually heard how brilliant it was that Bush didn’t take credit for the Berlin Wall falling down. This admirer insisted that by NOT taking credit he united the many nations around the world…yada,yada.
No, the fact was, it was Reagan and Thatcher who took down Russia. He would have been a fool to take credit. Daddy Bush always kept a low profile all through his life.
The propaganda was, it was because he was such a gentlemen, when in fact, it was to keep secret from the people what he was doing behind the scenes. You see, the less we knew, the better, and H.W. was an expert at being the kind, benevolent father-knows-best guy, nodding to the children to just leave everything in his hands.
As I listen to all the friends in Washington D.C. come out to tell their stories today, I try to remember what the years were like for a nobody like me during his reign. I do remember not being all that excited about him going in to protect Kuwait.
Wait..what? Can’t the Sauds protect themselves? WHY are we doing this? Nope. It was the “New World Order” contract that our President had with the Sauds. ‘We protect them, they give us oil.” And on the side I always thought, the Bush family (And maybe all Presidents.) get a piece of that big pie—
—We just don’t know about it.
Tell me, WHY would men spend millions of their own fortunes to become President?
Nobody Wonders about that.
Today I heard that Daddy Bush only LOST to Bill Clinton because of Ross Perot. Well, that might be true, but Ross Perot was warning everyone what Daddy Bush was doing…NAFTA. Ross tried to tell us that the middle class would be wiped off the map, and many, like myself, thought he was right.
And…yes, he was right.
One day, Perot just dropped out: Said his family was threatened and everyone called him nuts. I think I was one of the few people in America who actually believed Perot. Both he and his family would have been ‘dealt’ with had he stayed in the race.
(Which reminds me: Did you hear that another American Admiral committed suicide today? One who was stationed in the Middle East?)
Daddy Bush made a big deal about going to war in Iraq, and then…didn’t go in to get Saddam? Today they rewrote history and said it was because he cared so much about our sailors.
Oooooookay. He got us all gung-ho upped, and then just said…”Uh, well, let’s just stop now.”
When his son got to be President it was more important that he hang Saddam from a rope, than actually finishing the job. Like his Daddy, the Bushes go in all strong, then….lose interest.
Both father and son keep saying that “history” will redeem them both someday.
The real legacy of the Bushes will be the “New World Order.”
Nobody Wonders if that will be said at the funeral?
A major plan to control the world…to make all people of the world global citizens…at the financial expense of course, of the American people. Daddy Bush was at the head of the globalization, a plan, while in his heart, may have seemed a very Christian like, was a terrible mistake.
Like most progressive socialists utopian dreams: It kills a lot more people on the planet than it saves.
Yes, we are hearing what a kind, gentle, respectable, honorable, most loved in the world, gentleman Daddy Bush was: and how the current President is ruining everything he stood for.
“The great danger of the Trump presidency is the normalization of character traits and behaviors that would have been an absolute abomination to his predecessors.” said a former Bush employee.
Well…any man or woman with any brain at all, would rather have a leader tell them the truth, and actually do things for THEM, then trying to ‘save the world’ for the history books.
President Trump has done more for us in just two years, than all the years put together of the last five Presidents. Who would have thought their egos would be so…’sensitive?’
The next few days should be interesting if only for one reason:
No matter how great the Bushes think they are…they never, ever, held the love that the American people have for THIS President.
Never.
Yes, England has its Queen, and we have the two American Dynasties: The Bushes and the Clintons.
And Daddy Bush, had the most respect and clout of them all. Look at any picture of them and you will see…they all want his blessings.
Nobody Wonders why.
Daddy Bush…could fly a jet plane, he could talk forever and never say anything worth anything, he could get along with just about everybody….but he didn’t know how to buy milk at the grocery store.
That should tell you all you need to know about the man.
He had a VERY good life. And I can honestly say: as an American with my own cantankerous ancestral proclivity…
I will not miss him.
Barbara Bush: An American Woman
Nobody Cares
It’s sad that we only saw a few pictures of Barbara Bush until today. There are so many lovely pictures all over the internet that were NEVER seen while her husband was in office, it’s a pity to bring them all out now. Barbara was kept in the background, and you very seldom heard her speak. No doubt, that without her by his side, George W. would not have gotten to be President.
One thing you have to admit about both George H.W. and George W….they both married good women.
But, I just want to mention something I find rather ironic. I think both George and Barbara voted for Hillary Clinton in the last election, so isn’t it funny, that right before the primaries, Barbara was the one woman who gave her OWN opinion in front of the world. Should her son Jeb, run for the Presidency?
And she said, plainly and honestly, that she didn’t think America would want a third term of the Bush family.
I was shocked, but loved it, because it was…so true. I often wondered if the Bush men chewed her out for making such a remark.
Mrs. Bush sure wasn’t the weak little zop American woman now was she?
I guess Hillary didn’t think any American women could ‘stand up to their man’ when it came to voting, yet here a first lady doing exactly that.
Something that HILLARY never did. (Stand up to her man.)
Barbara Bush, the wife of a President and the mother of another, blurted out the truth, that was pretty obvious to the American political system. THAT took some courage.
I was listening to her talk today on C-Span about how the first family really gets everything paid for. Very seldom do you have to pay for anything. Maybe some eggs up at Camp David. She admitted that they had over 90 ‘servants’ to take care of their every whim.
Barbara Bush knew how lucky she was. And Nobody Thinks, they kept her away from the microphones because I doubt if she wouldn’t have just said what she thought.
THAT’s a true American woman.
No matter what I think of the Bush dynasty of men, both Barbara and Laura represented our country with grace and honor.
Melania is doing the very same.
I don’t think anybody thought Mrs. Bush would pass before her husband, and if they were as in love as everyone says they were…he won’t last too much longer without her.
Like I said, too bad they didn’t let us get to know her better.
Can We Hold Presidents Accountable? Hell Yes!
Nobody’s Opinion
For almost 8 long years, we have heard Obama blame the Bush Administration, for the economy, and the war in the Middle East. He has said that if Bush had not bombed Iraq, then this mess wouldn’t have happened and been passed on to him. And the economy was in such a mess, that it would take over ten years usually to come out of the recession. Not his fault….Bush’s.
Obama has been blameless. As if he floats above in the clouds and looks down upon us all with a halo and pities us all before his next putt.
Obama has taken NO blame, whatsoever, for anything that has happened since he has been in office. Hillary pretty much says the same thing. Looking back, the last President that I can remember accepting blame for any of his actions, was Richard Nixon. And that was because his own party helped kick him out.
So….here’s the question: Is a President responsible for whatever happens while they are in office? (Or a Secretary of State?)
That’s the argument that Trump has made against former President George W. Bush.
Trump said this to Chris Wallace in an interview last weekend:
“Jeb [Bush] said ‘We were safe with my brother. We were safe.’ Well, the World Trade Center just went down. Now, am I trying to blame him? I’m not blaming anybody, but the World Trade Center came down, so when he said we were safe, we were not safe. We lost 3,000 people. It was one of the greatest — probably the greatest catastrophe ever in this country,” the Republican presidential hopeful said. “With that being said,” he added, “I’m not blaming George Bush, but I don’t want Jeb Bush to say ‘My brother kept us safe,’ because Sept. 11 was one of the worst days in the history of this country.”
No matter how ‘nice’ a guy George Bush seemed to be…like Obama, not ONCE did he take any kind of blame for that day, even though, it was blatantly clear, that neither New York OR Washington D.C., had any kind of serious protection that day. That in itself is shameful. They like to BRAG about our superiority…where was it on that day?
Bush’s actions after 9/11, left many people in America wondering…what? We are going into Afghanistan and then taking out Saddam Hussein? Why? Because he once tried to kill your daddy? Because you needed to finish what your father didn’t? We…had NO clue.
We had…a frat boy, in the White House…we have one now.
The argument on the other side is: “Well, it’s not one man’s fault if we got attacked, the world is complicated. He should never be blamed for what happened. Was FDR blamed for the attack at Pearl Harbor?
No. He wasn’t. He should have been. FDR had received word several days before the attack, and didn’t pass the message on. Your top job as President is to defend your country here, FIRST…not after the fact.
The same thing happened on 9/11. The information that an attack was imminent had been going on ever since the FIRST attack on the World Trade Center when Bill Clinton was in office.
Clinton could have killed bin Laden….he left him for Bush.
Jeb Bush, was of course, is now furious at Mr. Trump for attacking his brother:
“Across the spectrum of foreign policy, Mr. Trump talks about things as though he’s still on ‘The Apprentice,'” the former Florida governor said of his rival for the Republican presidential nomination.
“My brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do. He united the country, he organized our country and he kept us safe. And there’s no denying that. The great majority of Americans believe that.”
The trouble is, at the time, of course, we all united. But then, when Bush got on his microphone in New York, and made his little speech in the megaphone, I’m sorry. I found it lame. Like, somebody told him he should at LEAST say something. And when he took his god damn time going after ANYBODY…getting permission from this country, and whomever..
I’m sorry. Weak. Lame. Was our military that devastated? We didn’t want him to invade ANY country, just kill the guys responsible for the attack.
But, George had bigger plans. He used that attack as an opportunity to invade the Middle East. Lots of good stuff there in the Middle East.
Ben Carson just said, that while he wasn’t going to blame Bush for the deaths on 9.11, he did blame him for not going after bin Laden. The American people wanted revenge. Bush, should have made SURE we got it. But then, there’s Bush’s relations with the Saudi Family….and those…trillions of dollars worth of minerals.
Bush obeyed their wishes. He left the man alone, and lied to the American people. “We don’t know where he is. “
Sure. Right. Obama…who needed SOME kind of foreign success after his horrible first four years, went and got him.
Today, on the Sunday talk shows, Bob Woodard said that the American people needed a Ronald Reagan, and Trump wasn’t it. Insinuating that Jeb Bush was.
NOBODY SAYS: Not in a million years does Jeb even come close to Reagan. Ronald Reagan would have said the same thing Trump is saying now about the events of 9/11.
“It wouldn’t have happened on MY watch.”
Ronald Reagan made the world safer by defeating the Russians. Both Presidents George H.W., and his son George W., have done pretty much the opposite. And when Obama got in: he just lit the match—-Fired up the engines…and put the whole Middle East into a burning hell hole.
Sorry Jeb. It’s wasn’t President George W. Bush that kept America safe the rest of his days in office, it was the American soldier, FBI, and ordinary citizens that did.
And that’s the big mistake that Jeb makes….acting like it was his brother that protected us all. He should have protected us…at FIRST.
So, the question is: Is Trump right for holding George W. Bush responsible for not protecting us?
In the words of Ronald Reagan, “Hell yes.” (Okay, I spoke for him. )
