Posted on November 4, 2010 at 11:54amWell I served, I was even serving when Sept. 11th happened. Since that time I’ve come to realize that the whole 9-11 story has a lot of unanswered questions that questions the official story. I might feel odd about that if I weren’t standing in the midst of so many others who question, like 6 of the 10 commissioners who investigated 9-11. The thousands of engineers who question the official story. Then there are also the pilots and the victims families. Lets not forget either our fire fighters who have witness testimony that contradicts the official story. I’m not say who did it or who is responsible. No one really knows because there was never really an honest to God investigation. This is where I tend to split ways with my “conservative” friends who blindly support their republican president. And before you start bashing me as a liberal, I actually voted for Bush both times before I put the pieces together. Also pro second amendment, pro life, pro 10th amendment, ah hell, just pro Constitution really.

Posted on November 4, 2010 at 11:53amYo Americans! The leftist liberal loons had it out for President Bush from the beginning. Do we remember how they said we stole the election? They never got over it. Mr. Bush was an incredible President. Sworn to protect the people, he did just that. No President is ever loved by everyone, and sure, George Bush made some errors. But he protected our asses throughout both terms. One has to wonder the outcome if we’d of had a liberal in office back then. I’m sure we would have tried to appease the enemy in some way. I’ll never forget how for a short time we were united across America, no matter our party. What a great feeling that was when we the people stood united. Bush protected us, and then Obama traveled the world apologizing for our aggressions, while leading our nation into total bankruptcy. Politics has never been so interesting…and we still have a long way to go. The people will soon be back in charge and we will watch our leaders closely. It’s simple now. They do what we want or they get voted out.

Posted on November 4, 2010 at 11:37amDear God In Heaven,,,, do we miss you now Mr. President “W”….. such a caring man,,,, to see you at the airports greeting soldiers returning even now from the warfront,,,,, showing us what a real president does,,, but THAT would be one who has some real compassion in their soul,,, and core values… just sayin
I am having problems trying to understand when “W” went golfing the times he went ,, and THAT was abusing his office, according to the MSM,,,,, how is President O‘Trama ok to go golfing 196 time in the few months he’s been in office,,, I saw him hit the ball,, and I dare say all the endangered species covered by the endangered species act,,, some spotted owl,, some lillylipped lizard,,, surely some black-gray brown striped squarrel has been killed, with all the times he has hit into the woods,,,, you know
Report Post »You know, come to think of it,,, I am thankful he is getting to take his “family” of 3094 people with him to India,,, at $260,000,000 per day for each day they will be gone,, but I am proud he is at least staying at an “average” hotel…. he’s such a “People’s” president…. I am willing for this country to pay this group of close, socialist friends to stay in India until Jan 20, 2012… FULL pay,,, as long as all telephone, computer contact ability, and ANY other communication possiblities are terminated to the USA…. It would be good for America, since he’s so good with other countries, “Take A Bow” Mr. President,, he’d enjoy it,,,,
Oh,,, Lefty’s,,,, how’s that CHANGE we voted for you Tuesday working out for you now? You GOing to see how just having the speakership and control of the House,, the PEOPLE’S HOUSE,, is going to give you some CHANGE,,, ALL legislation,, and FINANCING BEGINS with the House,,, and we WILL hold our elected Representatives feet to the fire. If you think THIS election holds them accountable,, WAIT till 2012,, the sleeping giant has awaken, and THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO GO LIKE IN THE PAST ,, unless of course,,, they desire more “CHANGE”,,,, lots of the lefty’s got CHANGE on Tuesday,,,, I love America,,, really

Its sad that people talk about how Bush lied about Wmds I guess they dont count low grade yellow cake wmds but what do think 500tons of yellow cake would have done to down town N.Y or L.A how much financial damage? Years of not being able to walk the streets of N.Y. Bush did what Clinton should have done.

Posted on November 4, 2010 at 11:18amUnlike this community organizer we now have in office, Bush was respected by other countries leaders maybe even feared, because he would attack back and he kept the US safe, look how many attempts of bombing have happened since OBAMA has taken office with no reprisal, OBAMA is a coward and the world knows it. One of the things that has helped save us from these recent attempts is programs that bush has put in place.

Obama is so afraid that he’s gonna get killed that he has 34 warships following him to India. Obama doesn’t give a damn about us, his line is we can ‘absorb another attack’.

Reasonable people decide correctly every couple of hundred years that the world has to team up and exterminate a good half of these lunatics. It is the only way civil society can continue. Sorry Glenn, but had Ghandi sat down on Hitler’s RR tracks there would have been a different outcome. Ghandi knew he could count on British decency. We cannot “Ghandi” the Muslims.

Posted on November 4, 2010 at 11:19amI fully supported Bush for his choices in regards to going to war – and if the American people will remember, a vast majority agreed with him as well and not just with Afghanistan but with Iraq. I truly believe it was those actions that kept America safe for the 8 years he was in office. Iraq forced Al-Qaida to fight instead of lurking in the shadows plotting attacks against America on American soil. It also took away their ‘safe haven’ in Afghanistan. Bush was not a perfect man but when it came to the security of the American people he did an excellent job. He did not waver and it didn’t take him months to ponder – he took swift and decisive action – that is a leader – something we no longer have in the White House.

The problem is that conservatives think that because we are fair and open minded the liberal public figures are too. And that going on the more left leaning shows will be extending an olive branch to exchange ideas. When in reality liberals are blood thirsty when it comes to trapping us in interviews just to ask akward questions in an attempt to belittle the interviewee
