Hang in There, America

Posted on May 21, 2007 by TexasFred

There’s a blog out there that has inadvertently sent me some great traffic of late and I want to thank them for bumping my numbers and for using my URL so often, you’ve really helped my link rank on Technorati, I appreciate it.

I also noticed in your comments that you seem to think I am too hard on your boy, George, no pun intended, and I have to say, yes, I am hard on the guy, and he deserves every criticism he receives for at least the last 4 years, since the inception of the debacle called Iraq in my opinion.

Well, so you know, it’s NOT just me, it’s more like 72% of this nation that has an unfavorable opinion of Bush, and that covers a lot more than just a bunch of moonbat libs, it seems that the only ones that truly support Bush anymore are what we like to call Bush Bots.

If you think I’m hard on Bush, here is some work from one of the best military writers of our time, Mr. Joseph Galloway, I call him Mr. Galloway most of the time, and not just Joe, simply because he has earned the respect that he doesn’t demand.

Hang in There, America

Joe Galloway – May 18, 2007

At this writing there are 613 days left until Jan. 20, 2009, and the end of our long national nightmare as President George W. Bush and his Rasputin, Vice President Dick Cheney, shuffle off to their necessarily well-guarded retirement homes and onto the ash heap of history. So much of what they talked about doing in a new century and a new and different world never came to pass. So much of what they did to grow the power of the presidency and prune the constitutional safeguards crafted by our Founding Fathers, they never talked about.

The American people have turned their backs on George Bush and his dreams of planting the seeds of democracy in Mesopotamia at the point of a gun and seeing them spread like kudzu across the Middle East. He’s failed in his quest for victory in Iraq and for a world put in order by a new and stronger United States, and his brash blundering into a dangerous land has made us all much less safe.

The president’s approval ratings are below his knees, sinking to 28 percent in one recent poll, and he cannot recover short of the kind of miracle that parts seas and feeds the multitudes. The war that was never ours to win by military means – the only button this president who never learned war ever learned how to push – is lost. Bush and Cheney and the rest of their cronies and co-conspirators are toast.

The question is: How did such ordinary-looking men – seemingly unable to carry out even the smallest non-political tasks of governing – succeed in doing such extraordinary and lasting damage to our country, our military and our body politic in so few years? With Congress in the hands of the Democrats, and the 2008 election looming dead ahead, the president can’t even count on key figures in his own Republican Party to stand behind him as he embarks on a long and painful lame duckhood.

(snip to end)

Six-hundred-fourteen days, and counting. Nineteen months. It doesn’t seem possible or even bearable.

Now before anyone goes off on ME over this story, click the link and see where it comes from, and if you have a problem with this wonderful Op/Ed from Mr. Joseph Galloway, go to the link, check his creds and take it up with Him.

I didn’t write this, but I got one hell of a kick out of it.

And by the way, I DO have permission to call him Joe.

    LOL, Well I must say the dream GW had wasn’t a bad one, it was his execution that was flawed… I would love to see the seeds of Democracy planted on Arab soil, it would be good for the world, however; in order to accomplish this the plan needs to involve several metric tons of high grade plutonium….

    Peace in the Middle East will come either by the second coming, or by the mushroom cloud. NO THIRD OPTION.

    Muslims can not live in peace, therefore until they are extinguished there will be war.

    Unfortunately for folks like Don, not everyone believes GW was the right man for the job. The lack of Border control, and the lack of nuts in war has ruined what started out to be a promising president.

    Some folks hang on to Bush’s nuts through every dumbass thing he does which gives him the illusion that he is right and will not change.

    So to all the bots that read this…. Keep it up, its funny to watch.

    Bush doesn’t have to part the Red Sea to recover in the polls. All he has to do is order the immediate arrest and deportation of every illegal interloper in this county. He can do it and his poll ratings would soar over 50% overnight.

    However, Bush can’t do this, he’s bought and paid for by business and the pro-invader people.

    Just think if he closed our borders and dropped a Nuke on Iraq, he’d be at 100% in about an hour.

    Throw a few Nukes into Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria and hell, he’d be our next President.
