Transplanted Buckeye, now a PROUD Texan and founding member of @TheRedneckCC Conservative patriot yearning for small govt and simpler times - Don't Tread On Me
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.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
@WarlordDilley I decided to stop listening to their bitching and follow Freddy 🇩🇪on his FIFA thread (it’s been the only silver lining about FIFA for me. I’m not a fan). But the absolute pro-USA vibe is infectious. God bless DJT and America. 🇺🇸
“No one has ever looked across the plains of Texas and said, let's replace this with Muslims, let's replace this with Hindus."
"Texas should remain for Texans."
BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.
Americans work 40+ years…
Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.
Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.
Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.
Read that again.
The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.
This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.
Who comes first?
The taxpayer… or the system?
If your coach doesn’t look like a cattle rancher who also runs a reputable whorehouse and your quarterback got more than 45 minutes of sleep before kickoff, you don’t even know what badassery is …
TEXAS SENATE RACE: Recorded sermon catches James Talarico (CIS) comparing unborn children to tapeworms & parasites who should have no legal rights. He claims Christianity is a 'feminist religion' that justifies abortion. This is the 'moderate' Democrat preacher running for Senate. Just say no.

This was Toulouse, almost 700km from Paris, yet invaders smashed the place up.
They need to go back.
We didn't build a first world to have the third world tear it down.
Remove them.
🚨 VIDEO: Texas state Rep. James Talarico opened a legislative session with a heretic prayer, invoked old Communist-adjacent phrase
h/t @reddit_lies who spotted it on Reddit; I tracked down the original video.
The prayer addresses God as "holy mystery" with "so many names" — Torah, Quran, Gita, Dharma — treating all religious traditions as equally valid expressions of the same God.
Jesus is described as "a barefoot rabbi" who "expressed" God's love... one expression among many implied.
The closing line: "build a new world in the shell of the old."
That phrase has a specific origin. It comes from the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) Preamble, written in 1905. It's syndicalist labor movement language. Not explicitly Communist - but they wanted to abolish capitalism and the state all the same.
See it for yourself:
I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state.
We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.
To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
The stage is officially set.
It's red-blooded Texan @KenPaxtonTX vs. the weird dude who needs to "come to terms with his whiteness."
I know who I want as my next Senator...
