It amazes me the things that BDS leads people to complain about. Personally, I don’t think that Bush is the greatest President ever but I think he has done an excellent job overall. Which reminds me, people keep bring up these approval ratings – I’ve never been asked whether I approve of the President, or Congress.

Christopher Hitchens:

The president is also captured in a well-worn TV news clip, on a golf course, making a boilerplate response to a question on terrorism and then asking the reporters to watch his drive. Well, that’s what you get if you catch the president on a golf course. If Eisenhower had done this, as he often did, it would have been presented as calm statesmanship. If Clinton had done it, as he often did, it would have shown his charm.

And Moore’s deception:

The TV ads for Michael Moore’s “documentary” Fahrenheit 9/11 feature a mocking clip of President Bush on a golf course. Bush declares, “I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorists killers,” and then Moore jumps to Bush adding, as he prepares to swing at a golf ball, “now watch this drive.” Tuesday night on FNC’s Special Report with Brit Hume, Brian Wilson noted how “the viewer is left with the misleading impression Mr. Bush is talking about al-Qaeda terrorists.” But Wilson disclosed that “a check of the raw tape reveals the President is talking about an attack against Israel, carried out by a Palestinian suicide bomber.”

I recall Bush being demonized by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 9/11 for playing golf after the attacks by al-Qaeda. So which is it? Is it insenstive to play golf while we’re at war and soldiers are dying or not? The left is so schitzo it can’t make up its mind.

No, you have to be a bit liberal; open-minded. You have to try and understand what people are saying, and then you have to try and convince them to work together.

Have you ever tried to talk to a liberal. It is impossible and like talking to a brick wall. There is no truth only opinions.
and if they can’t convince you of their take of any issue they get snarky and start calling you names and use profanity. There is no way in hell to unite this country unless conservatives give up all ideals and opinions and let the liberal truth stand. They are right and we are wrong. And witness they still have this asinine idea Bush is on the ballot in November. BDS is alive and well. They have BDS so bad they are willing to take a chance on the survival of this country in order to feed their disease.

Ah yes.

From the “Meticulously Created/Fabricated (When Convenient) Records Department” of cBS.

These are the same folks who brought us the quickly debunked National Guard memos which were, by their own admission, “fake, but accurate”.

Sorry, I don’t buy into anything that cBS has to say.

Nothing.

From Winston’s link:

The US president traced his decision to the August 19, 2003 bombing of UN headquarters in Baghdad, which killed the world body’s top official in Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello.

“I remember when de Mello, who was at the UN, got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life. And I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, it’s just not worth it anymore to do,” said Bush.

Bush’s last round of golf as president dates back to October 13, 2003, according to meticulous records kept by CBS news.

So he misremembered, and golfed one time after? Ok.

When Aye Chihuahua asked you:

Do you have sources and/or other info to support your claims?

I think he was referring to all of your other assertions, which you accept as given facts that made you say

And you’re still worked up about “the left.”

“I golf; therefore, I swear”…

But not President Bush. The golf part, anyways. At least not during a time of war. Tis better than playing through with a callous ‘armadillo Ike’ impression for the BDS crowd to excoriate him. Right? Wrong! Flopping Aces has more….
