All I saw were a bunch of 60-year-old Marxist with “Hands off Cuba” signs. They really need to get out more often.

I like Bush, alot. For lots of reasons. The three biggest reasons right now though, are

1) He causes liberals to go insane, as dmdnexus, dowding, elfenwolf, lord dolf et al proves over and over again. Actually I think the USSS should take a look at the RL person behind dmdnexus, because that guy cannot be sane, and his hatred of Bush and his fixation with him should prolly earn him a watchful eye from them. Sooo if the secret echelon, NSA watchers of the internet are reading this BB, send the black choppers to him *points at dmdnexus*

2) He is funny. Did you read the speech he made in England? It was a very good speech, and I particularily liked this part

It was pointed out to me that the last noted American to visit London stayed in a glass box dangling over the Thames.

A few might have been happy to provide similar arrangements for me.

3) I think I'll let old Teddy Roosvelt do the talking for me here:
”It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Now I dont expect dowding, nexus, vader, elf and the rest of the freak show to understand reason nr 3. But then again, they have proved time and time again that they are incapable of anything really...but venom-spewing...

Don't even compare Bush to TR... TR actually saw combat in Cuba.

TR wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth... riding on daddies coat tails.

Bush is a draft dodger...

Bush is a CEO who's only claim to fame is every company he ever ran has gone bankrupt.

Bush is not brave... not daring... that credit belongs to the soldiers doing the fighting overseas.

Bush is a coward hiding behind brave men and women... and telling the enemy to "Bring it on"... why other people do the dieing.

Bush is the coward who can't stand to be in the presence of protestors while giving public speeches... so he has the secret service sequester them away and illegally arrest them.

Bush won't even speek before parliament and defend his point of view.... brrrrk chicken...

Bush would be the first to hide and scream like a baby if there ever were an attempt on his life.

Bush didnt' even want to ride in the traditional carriage with the Queen - "EEEK Al-qaeda is after me... I'm scared, please don't let them hurt me"

Mean while American soldiers are walking the streets of Baghdad surrounded by "terrorists."

You had no problem attacking Al Gore or the Clintons while they were in office, no? Don't walk the fence, either you stand for something or you don't.

Its just not that simple, but let me explain this.

Protests from within, acceptable. Insults and crap about my country or President from outside, not acceptable.

Do a little more reading in this thread, you will see I have stated the following:

Quote

To ban protests, to arrest those of differant views smacks of exactly the type of government we say we are opposed to

Quote

I strongly believe everyone has a right, and it could be said an obligation to protest policies you dont agree with,

I dont see this sentiment as a hypocrasy:

Quote

I reserve the right to respond to those attacking my country or it's leader.

The Arabs have an old statement that goes something like this:

"Me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousin, me and my cousin against an outsider".

Similar sentiment here. Protests from within are one thing, and it is alright to dissent and disagree, but attack from outside is a whole differant matter.

Reserving the right to defend my country or President is pretty well an inalienable right to an American, just as dissenting. I do not say another American can't disagree or dislike Bush or his policies, but I can defend him if I care to. I had a right to dislike Clinton, and say so. I never said anyone shouldn't defend him. (just can't understand why someone would).

You can try and fault me for this, I am sure if you try hard, you can find another reason to fault me. I don't care. Try away, but maybe next think about it a little more first.

Tumor is one of many Americans, Brits, Aussies, Poles, Italians, and men and women from around the world that are part of the coalition. He has been there and probably will be going back at some point leaving his family and friends behind.

You can sit in the comfort of your living room spewing your hate and lies and enjoy yourself while they do the job. They are heros in my book and you sir are a worthless piece of garbage. If calling a spade a spade is subject to banning from this BBS so be it.

Not only that, but Nexus is too lazy to even study his history, re: TR. In short, he is a small child(mentally) that has learned only one thing: How to piss off other people. In most online venues he is known as a griefer, that is, one who has nothing to contribute but takes his pleasure from depriving others of thiers.

Also known as a "weazle" amongst the AH proud.
