RE: George W. Bush

One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s. This cost me friends and exposed me to relentless personal attacks. I defended his CHARACTER. I thought what I was doing was right. I was wrong.

I did not believe—and still do not believe—that he “lied��� us into the war in Iraq. My belief was and is based on my knowledge of classified pre-war intelligence and my service early in the war on the Iraqi base that was most suspected to include WMD storage.

I defended Bush against “Bush lied, people died.” I defended Bush against “Chimpy McBushitler” and all of the other spurious Democrat insults that served only to undermine the war effort I had been fighting.

But while I defended Bush, he NEVER defended himself.

Then, when a true Marxist was elected President in the form of the worst human being to occupy the Oval Office since Woodrow Wilson (i.e., Barack Obama), Bush was SILENT. He never, ever spoke out against Obama, and even cozied up to him and Michelle, which I assumed was part of the tradition of former Presidents never criticizing their successors. (I was wrong in my assumption.)

THEN Donald Trump was elected President by America and suddenly Bush found his voice in criticizing serving Presidents. Why would he do this to a member of his own party other than because Trump was an outsider determined to dismantle the tyranny of the federal administrative state?

I now know that George W. Bush is a Deep State charlatan of extremely low character. Allegiance to the Deep State and The Swamp trumps any allegiance he may have ever had to his own party, the United States of America, the Constitution, or the American people.

He is despicable.

Surprisingly, I now find him more objectionable than the other Presidents in this picture. At least they let us know who they actually were.

One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s.

I wasn't trying to win. I was trying to help my friends, family, and fellow citizens avoid being murdered by their own government. Because, apparently, that's a thing that we have to do, in this day and age.

It cannot be stressed enough how much the public health policy response to the George Floyd protests shredded institutional trust

Christians in the Middle East are being crucified for their beliefs.

Christians in the West won't even crucify their own ego or political allegiance for fear of losing leftist converts.

They would sooner "deconstruct" their faith than weather social discomfort.

Big-platform conservatives: Mothers and fathers matter!

(Dave Rubin shares motherless babies ultrasound)

Big-platform conservatives: “Amazing!” “So happy for you!” “Congrats!”

Big-platform conservatives: "Single motherhood is a blight on our nation!"

(Ashley St. Clair announcement)

Big-platform conservatives: “Congratulations!” “Much love!” “God bless you!”

I suspect what these largely Christian commentators are saying is, “We love babies, and your child is worthy of life.” That’s good and true.

But it looks like widespread, institutionalized conservative hypocrisy.

None of those people or platforms congratulated Pete Buttigieg and his partner after he posted his snapshot in the hospital bed with two babies—even though those babies’ lives were precious too. No, no. That was universally decried on the right.

But suddenly, when it’s “our people,” there’s uniform affirmation.

To be clear, we do need to show love and compassion to those in non-ideal situations.

The advice I offer and seek to live by is to draw near to broken families—free babysitting for the single mom, soup for the lesbians down the street, lots of attention and care for the child of divorce. And *never* to give one inch on the reality that kids need, deserve, and have a right to their mother and father loving them and loving each other every day. This is the messy, biblical, middle of grace and truth.

The mixed messages prominent conservatives are sending damage both the credibility of the speaker/platform and alienate the upcoming generation that is so obviously hungry for clarity and courage. One reason Gen Z is turning to the right is that they’ve tasted and seen how family breakdown has destroyed their lives. They want to return to traditional values—rejecting hook-ups, rejecting porn, embracing marriage. And they want to follow people with the stones to tell the truth, even if it's personally costly.

Big-platform conservatives: Do not squander this opportunity to lead the next generation out of Babylon so you can appear selectively compassionate.

Have the courage to call out child-destroying choices and behaviors, regardless of whether someone hosted you on their podcast, shared a stage with you, or voted with you.

If $40 billion could supposedly end world hunger then why didn't the $40 billion spent by USAID to end world hunger end world hunger?

@RepDexterOR Very sad that Oregon produces politicians of this quality.

[Jesse Kelly @JesseKellyDC]

It’s not that I’m ok with federal employees losing their jobs and having to start from scratch with nothing.

It’s that I love it. I cheer for it. Every time I read a story about how sad FBI agents are to be fired, it nourishes me. I go to bed smiling every night.

We told you to leave us alone.
We didn't want to get too political.
We didn't want to get too involved.

But you made us.
You went after our kids, our jobs, our money, and our lives.

You made us care. Remember?

Well this *waves hand* is our response.
Enjoy the bed you made.

5 days. We should celebrate but this should also infuriate you that it could be done this quickly.

It annoys me when people say shit like “My wife has a Stanley cup.” Really? Did she play for the Edmonton Oilers? How many goals did she score? Your wife likes to stay hydrated, keep the greatest name in sports trophies out of your mouth.
