BREITBART: An Election Day Note: Thanks, President Bush

A great article Breitbart !! And if we could have four more years of George Bush's strong stance on Foreign Policy, we could only be that lucky. You can be assured many Americans do agree with you that history will be kind to President Bush. Four years ago, George Soros said he will spend four million dollars to ruin the Bush Legecy. He also vowed that he will knock America off it's pedestal. Soros said, "that is the central focus of my life", tearing down what he views as the fascist tyranny of the United States. But President Bush has kept America safe for close to eigth years. Because of the Bush Administrations global war on Terror, several Countries such as Pakistan, Libia, Saudi Arabia are cooperating and are now working with President Bush and are now hunting down the Terrorist inside their own borders. President Bush has severly crippled Al Qaeda and the Talaban. The Democrats attempt to downplay the Bush Administration Foreign Policy achivements. But there is no denying that President Bush has been very sucessful and has kept America safe. And if Barack Obama wins this election, his new Democrat Administration would be a weak kneed Foreign policy platform and bad for America. God Bless President Bush. God Bless Our troops, And God Bless America. .

Thanks for sharing these well-deserved kudos regarding our PRESIDENT, that word that so many have difficulty attaching to the name President George Bush. Yes, the dirty dems who repeatedly show disrespect for the office and this fine person, as well as our "imploding media" and all the suckers that follow it, have done an injustice to our President. But , glad for your reminder that he will go down in history as good. I'll never forget his strong defense and the security I feel from that, as opposed to the year I watched twenty some body bags, draped with American flags return to the military bases in Norfolk, Va. When Former Pres.Clinton did NOTHING about the attack on Yemen, I cried when one after another young twenty year olds were shipped back, dead. Yet, he didnt think to respond. UGH. Thank you again. Hoping for McCain to keep our security here in the capitalist nation which has blessed us as the land of opportunity, like no other.

Excellent commentary Mr. Briebart. I've been saying this for 8 years, but watched with dismay as Democrats, with the complicit help of their stooges in the media, undermined and undercut every effort of President Bush to safeguard our nation and those of our friends. I've lost all respect for Democrats because of it. I have a bumper sticker on my truck that says a lot: "Support Terrorism, Vote Democrat." Now that left-wing (socialist) idiots have taken over the party of Jefferson, it's 1930's Germany all over again. We must take our country back from ideas born in the gutters of Europe, and remember why we HAVE a country - because freedom and individual responsibility matter. This is what happens when leftists eliminate teaching TRUE history and the Constitution in our schools. The fantasy-history of successful socialism is allowed to dominate, and 100 years of failure mean nothing.

I could not disagree more. I think that Breitbart is in the same camp with Jonah Goldberg. Advocating for more "can't we all get along" niceness lets take the high road gibberish is the ultimate stupidity. It will not change the all out war of the socialist-liberals. After all that has transpired in this election how can these idiots keep spouting this mantra of "niceness". What did it get the excessively liberal George W. Bush? He is actually a socialist and only disagrees with the Democrats on the issue of patriotic love of our nation. This request to take the high road is simply unilateral disarmament. It was the "niceness" of George Bush that led to doubling the size of government over the last 8 years. It was the "niceness" of George Bush that has moved big government tyranny much further along its oppressive road. All three, George W., Jonah and Andrew are simply contemptible in their "niceness". It is not "nice" to allow the destruction of America because you are too gutless to fight.

While some of this article echos many of my own thoughts, as a true conservative, I have felt completely frustrated by the prevalent environment created by the media (left and right, new and old) that meant disagreeing with Bush meant you supported the Democrats and the leftists. I certainly do not. Part of this environment includes the idea that the country is roughly 50/50 split left and right. I believe this is an illusion created by our two party system - helped along by years of "big tent" philosophies of the republicans. Yet this is the fundamental strategy at work in this election - don't like Bush? You must be a democrat and a leftist. All the while the real conservatives failed miserably to understand the basic premise of your article - that the leftists we going to play hardball and hold nothing back - and were trying to moderate the republican party - this means the whole political culture of the country would move left - allowing such a radical as Barrack Hussein Obama to not only be considered a legitimate contender for national office, but actually win. That said - your suggest that we break this cycle plays right into their hands, and right into the playbook of every socialist takeover. No, now is not the time to once again pretend that this country only has two viewpoints. The leftists have effectively moved the entire country to the left - we have to put on the gloves and get this country moved right - and do it fast.

Andrew, I couldn't agree more. Overall, the President is a decent man who did a good job, particularly on terrorism. I think Bush will ultimately be viewed as strong president who protected America's long term intrests. Also, he has done a good job on the economy for the most part and is wrongly blamed for the subprime mess. The necessary wars are a big part of our deficits. Thanks for your insight.

Thank you for speaking the truth about President Bush,he has kept us safe.The hateful left and some republicans have forgotten 9/11.

The Iraq war is another area where Bush has again gotten a particularly bad rap. Among a number of Iraq war "positives": 1). Al Qaeda and other extreme salafist groups did, in fact, massively marshal their resources and personel in Iraq in an attempt to take the country and destroy the government - which at this point, is perhaps THE ONLY democratically elected arab government in the entire middle east. Their defeat in Iraq was decisive and extremely humiliating. They have, in fact, lost a tremendous amount of prestige as a result of it - and revealed themselves for all the world to see as first class butchers who are not loathe to attack other supposedly "heterodox" muslims. (On this score, it's important not to underestimate the strategic difficultes of engaging a non-state ideological enemy organized by loosely affiliated "cells" - a tactical advantage we were able to overcome as the islamists came to US in Iraq); 2). Iran is about to become a nuclear power - and a profoundly hostile and dangerous one, not just to the US and Israel, but perhaps more surprisingly, to our Sunni allies to the west who are absolutely terrified of a nuclear Iran (research the Meccan seige of 1979 for further background on this). Having a standing army deployed on Iran's western border, may make the Mullahs more amenable to a negotiated settlement than they would otherwise have been (in fact, we have traditionally placed large military contingents and installations in areas abutting hostile nations which are developing or threatening our allies or us with nuclear weapons in order to "control the discourse," so to speak; 3). Iran's proxies in Lebanon and Gaza (namely Hezbollah and Hamas) lie on the far side side of a large stretch of territory that we control, making communication and resupply by Iran more vulnerable and potentially more risky; 4). Oil. Like it or not, oil is power in the middle east. If we were not in control of those northern fields, those much worse than us would be - or would be vieing for them, causing greater instability and chaos than already exists. They would likely use that power in very damaging ways - from manipulating markets to funding extremist ideologies and insurgencies, as the Saudis and others have done for the past few decades (read, Freedom House Report: "Saudi Hate Literature Invades American Mosques" for a small taste of the kind of poison being spread across the planet - from Pakistan to Britain to Virginia). 5). At this point, we actually do have a newly emergent, fairly friendly, democratic country in the heart of the ME - an improved state of affairs to say the least.

Great article. I agree that President Bush will be treated well by historians and much like Harry Truman will be looked upon as a very strong president. However, I will never forgive the Democrats for their stances. I think they are unAmerican and I will do everything in my power to defeat them at every point.

DO NOT BLAME PRES. BUSH FOR THE WALL STREET CRISIS......it was planned. The Wall Street crisis was planned the night of Obama's meeting at Bill Ayres home to put Obama in The White House. Together they put a beautiful plan into place and timed everything to a tee. Although this Strategy was first elucidated in the 1966 issue of 'The Nation' magazine by a pair of radical Socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. David Horowitz summarizes it as: "The strategy of forcing political change through an orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of Capitalism by overloading the Government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and 'economic collapse'....unquote They begin with ACORN by funneling millions into their organization. Obama then trained ACORN to stage protests in banks to force them to issue risky loans or they would be threatened to face racial charges. ACORN was trained to intimidate financial institutions into giving “Ninja” loans to people with NO assets, NO job and NO income,who couldn’t afford these loans. That caused the housing bubble two years ago it was by ACORN's actions they were able to destroy our credit system. As this played out, D-Barney Frank and D-Chris Dodd were able to cover up the millions of improvident loans to these bad risky house buyers. And Barney Frank and his chums successfully were able to block all of President Bush's attempts to put a rein on this problem. So Fannie & Freddie Mac was forced to purchase all these failed subprime mortgages. Both Frank and Dodd denied that there were any problems, and refused the Bush Admin. requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and they were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the 'minute they failed'. Democrats then blamed Bush for everything saying it happened on his watch knowing it would hurt the Republican Party in the November election sstting it up that Barack Obama could use this to his advantage. Karl Marx once compared a Revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. Barack Obama is that Marxist mole ! .

Thanks; exactly right on GWB, particularly his remarkable and great accomplishment for keeping us safe for over 7 yrs [and others we can mention]. McCain's greatest strength: national security; his genius strategy? Never mention it, but just spar with BHO about bs.

. Barack Obama, the brave wear a uniform, the coward wears a suit. Obama is but a flea upon the south end of a north bound skunk compared to America's true patriot, John McCain. .

All true, and all of which really causes one to doubt the patriotism of the Dem leadership. Country First seems to have been long forgotten. We need a serious turnaround, and it can only come if McCain is elected. If he is not, the nation plunges head first down a slippery slope from which, save the mercy of Sovereign God, it will not return.

Hear hear and Amen. I agree that Bush SHOULD be judged favorably by intellectually honest historians down the road, in a similar vein to how Harry Truman is judged today. My major concern though: who will these actual future historians be? 40 years from now, when Iraq has been strong and stable (and hopefully boring) for decades, what will a 55-year old at the American Textbook council say should be said about our 43rd president, the man who was president when that 55 year-old was a teenager? How much will this "the-worst-president-in-history" label that's been drummed into young heads, stick? Will there be objective historians in colleges and public schools then? Are there any now?

SpecialistMC is absolutely correct. The collapse of Wall Street is no accident. It is indeed the Cloward-Piven strategy that caused it. Schumer "pulled-the-trigger" on IndyMac to get things rolling. Bush was betrayed by the CIA and State from the beginning. Keep a close eye on Hank Paulson, another mole in Bush's administration?
