The Progressive Movement is ruthless and shows no mercy. Over the last 8 years they have launched non stop attacks on George W Bush and destroyed his Presidency and the Republican Party. They then launched vicious attacks on McCain and did him in. Their response to these attacks, just sit back, smile and take the “High Road”. This strategy has lead to America falling to a tyrannical Totalitarian Progressive regime which is looking to impose a Neo-Feudal system on us. In an example of Republican appeasement, George HW Bush will meet with Obama and give advise.
There is a long tradition of sitting Presidents courting, relying on and even plotting with their predecessors, and the latest chapter is set to unfold Friday afternoon when former President George Herbert Walker Bush, accompanied by former Secretary of State James Baker, greets Barack Obama as he steps off a Marine Corps helicopter in College Station, Texas.
At Bush’s invitation, the 44th Commander in Chief is paying a long-planned visit to the home of Bush’s presidential library to mark the 20th anniversary of the voluntarism initiative begun by the former President in 1989.
Read the rest.
This is pathetic and shows the Bush clan have no pride. His son was attacked without mercy by Obama and the Progressives, yet he will meet with this Traitor. This is no shocker, George Bush Sr. is himself another Quisling Naive Republican that raised taxes to appease the Left and didn’t fight back when the Progressive media launched non stop attacks on him. This was the blueprint the Totalitarian Progressives would use a decade later to destroy Bush Jr and the Republicans. What doesn’t shock me is that James Baker is meeting with Barack Obama also. Baker is a known anti-Semite Israel hater like Obama is, so they both agree on that issue.
The Republican Party needs to fight back against the Progressives. They should learn from Glenn Beck and go for the jugular of the Progressives and launch non stop attacks. Unlike their side The GOP doesn’t need to use lies, all they have to do is show the evil nature of the Progressive movement. However they prefer to get beat up, smile and stay classy. It is time to purge the GOP of Progressive Quislings and put in place fighters who can use the tactics of Alinsky against the Left. Another possibility is that it is time for a new political party. One that stands against Progressivism and is not afraid to fight!
Update: Let this story be a warning to the Republican Party and their lack of not figting back.
Update II: I apologize to any Blogmocracy Netizen who was offended by me calling Bush a quisling. He is just an Elitist Naive fool like most of the Republican establishment. I let my frustration at seeing another Republican licking the boots of the Progressives get the better of me.

I agree that we have to fight back, just like Rush did with the slanders. I don’t have a problem with Bush meeting Obama, he would almost have to. Can you imagine the attacks he’d get if he snubbed the one? Besides maybe Obama will listen and learn something. We can only hope.
Uh, this is Poppy Bush. As much as I love him, he’s not a Reagan Republican. He’s a Beltway veteran who knows how to get along–he just doesn’t understand that the other side does not want to get along unless the GOP is following them.

re: #15 by livefreeor die
I say attack the media and expose their dirty laundry.
Having been to college games in person and Cowboys, Texans and Saints home games in person, college football is a lot more fun to watch.
My boss gave me his tickets for the Texas-OU game. Bad thing he is an OU alum, but I’ll try to trade with some OU fan whose boss is a Texas grad.
Texas hasn’t played a ranked team yet this season, and while they have consistently poured it on against weak opponents in the second half, they have been sluggish early.
Sluggish early against an OU team whose two losses were by 1 point each against ranked teams, with the starting Heisman winning QB injured, could mean digging a hole difficult to get out of.
And I hated Texas’ first half play calling against Colorado. All runs and 3 yard passes, which is the same as the run in that Colorado could keep men near the line of scrimmage. The first deep pass was the Shipley TD just before the half. An occasional deep pass, even if incomplete, keeps the defense honest.
OU has a good defense. With the #1 and #2 runners on the depth chart questionable with injuries, runs up the middle and 3 yard passes will get eaten alive.
I think Texas has a better team, but they have to be careful, or they could wind up on the wrong side of a blowout against a Sooner team trying to salvage a season ruined by two heartbreaking losses.

No, the Bush clan – in spite of their move to Texas – are simply Northeastern Republicans of the liberal stripe, what used to be called “Rockefeller Republicans”. They sincerely believe in government, and that big government helps “the masses.” The Bushes are also Anglo-Saxons, which means they think public politcal brawling is vulgar and beneath the dignity of civilized people. (I am of a similar background, but I got over it — noblesse oblige, be damned. There’s no noblesse anywhere near the Dems. If it were up to me, I’d give them all a good stomping.)

The Biggest Disappointment of the Obama Presidency
President Obama’s brief display of drive-by compassion Thursday in New Orleans was, for me, by far the worst outing of his presidency thus far — and the biggest disappointment.
I covered Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath — the flood in New Orleans that drowned a great city, the storm surge in Mississippi that erased whole communities, the devastation, the agony. For weeks afterwards, I had trouble sleeping. I couldn’t forget the scenes I’d witnessed or the stories I’d heard.
More than a year later, I covered a Senate subcommittee hearing in New Orleans on the lagging reconstruction effort. I watched as a young senator who was thought to be considering a presidential run — that would be Barack Obama — used his Harvard Law skills to eviscerate Bush-era officials for not doing enough to rebuild and revive the Gulf Coast region.
So it was strange and disheartening that Obama would wait nine months to make his first visit to New Orleans as president. It was stunning that he would spend only a few hours on the ground and that he wouldn’t set foot in Mississippi or Alabama at all. But worst of all was the way he seemed to dismiss the idea that his administration could and should be doing much more.
I know that local officials say the Obama administration is more responsive and more effective than the Bush administration, but that’s not saying much. What says more is that New Orleans still doesn’t have an operational full-service hospital. And that an adequate flood barrier is still not in place.
“I wish I could just write a check,” Obama said. If that was his message, he should have stayed home. We now know that our government can make hundreds of billions of dollars available to irresponsible Wall Street institutions within a matter of days, if necessary. We can open up the floodgates of credit to too-big-to-fail banks at the stroke of a pen. But when it comes to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, well, these things take time.
I doubt these are the priorities Obama wants to be remembered for.

I don’t believe Palin is damaged goods. She has a 67% favorable rating among Republicans. I keep hearing she is losing the Independants. The Independents must choose between the Dem or the Rep in the end. If we pick a moderate, to apease them, just how well did that work. If they vote Dem again, which I think many now realize was a big mistake, then it didn’t matter. So let’s put out a charismatic, polarizing candidate. F the compromising crap. That’s for losers, the Dem’s use it like Islam does, and just take more advantage of the sign of weakness.
re: #81 by newsjunkie_ky
New Orleans still doesn’t have an operational full-service hospital.
Obama said that? Fucking liar. The only hospital that didn’t come back was that god forsaken Charity Hospital. There are TONS of hospitals here including University which gives free care for poor people.

Join President Obama for Dinner
Glenn Beck.
Just writing those two words side by side sends a cold chill up my spine. He’s the guy that’s been riling up all those tea partying, town hall hollering, Obama birth certificate denying fools on the right-wing.
Last week I called him ‘nuts’ on television but I’m afraid all I did was give nuts a bad name.
I wish I could repeat some of the other names that our great DCCC supporters had for Beck in those petitions you signed, but we have to keep these e-mails G-rated.
Thank God we have committed supporters like you who defend President Obama from the attacks by Glenn Beck and his crazy ilk. And since you have the President’s back, I wanted to make sure you don’t miss out on your chance to join President Obama for dinner later this month.
Contribute $5, $10 or more today and you and a guest will be automatically entered for a chance to win dinner with President Obama in Miami, Florida on October 26. Your hotel, airfare, and tickets are all included.
With media cheerleaders like Glenn Beck egging on the Sarah Palin-Michele Bachmann crowd of wing-nuts in the GOP spreading bizarre conspiracy theories about government death panels, FEMA concentration camps and the like, we need your support more than ever.
President Obama and the Democratic Party are fighting for our future and the commitment of Democrats like you is the key ingredient to our success.
So, make a contribution of $5, $10 or more today. And, when you do, you and a guest will be automatically entered for a chance to win dinner with President Obama in Miami, Florida on October 26. Your hotel, airfare, and tickets are all included.
Your contribution will be put to work fighting for the change you and I voted for last November. Thank you for your generous support.

re: #135 by LanceKates
I highly doubt that if a Progressive Native American was running fro President, you would vote for him because he’s an Indian. To vote because a person is a member of your ethnicity, even if you don’t agree with his views is nonsense.

Jindal started of pretty good as gov but he is not a strong individual, seems he bends to pressure. His intentions are very good and he is honest and a hard worker. And, doesn’t have the charisma that unfortunately seems necessary these days.
GHWB as president was different than Ensign Bush in WW2 and when he ran the CIA.
Both Bush presidents were far more liberal than conservative. They did the conservative movement NO favors.

I only voted for George W in 2004 because I was drunk and I hated Kerry. In 96 I voted for Perot, in 2000 I abstained as I despised both Bush and Gore. In 2008 I held my nose, drank some wine and voted for McCain.
We had the coolest sheriff Harry Lee w ho died just before running for Governor. He would have made an excellent president. He was a Chinese Bubba who got away with very un-PC ways to control local criminals. He was a character and a very good man. Don’t make many like him any more.

Romney leads all prospects among voters who attend church once a month or less. Huckabee leads among more frequent churchgoers. Huckabee holds a huge lead among Evangelical Christians with Palin in second and Romney a distant third. Huckabee and Romney are essentially even among other Protestants while Romney has the edge among Catholics.
Romney leads among Republicans earning more than $75,000 a year while Huckabee leads among those who earn less.

I think Eric Cantor would be perfect for 2012. He would throw a monkey wrench at the Left. He is a Conservative Jewish republican. Any attacks on him can be thrown back at the Left as anti-Semitism. It would be a brilliant bold move to splinter the Democrats.
But these are Republicans we are talking about, they don’t like to be devious.
My ideal 2012 Ticket would be Cantor (Jewish) and Diaz-Ballart (Cuban-Hispanic). This would cause the Democrats headaches as racism can be thrown at them when they attacks. This would splinter their party as Jews and Hispanics would break ranks to support their own.
This ticket would be Kryptonite to Progressives.

I have no problem with charisma. My problem is that charisma used to be just a handy tool for a politician to have in order to more effectively communicate his views. A means to an end.
Now, charisma is considered an “end” unto itself. Despite what the MSM and recent history tell us, the most charming guy isn’t always the best President (or candidate).
re: #158 by Rodan
Judging by how the left dealt with Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, etc etc etc….
The left has no problem being extra vile to such folks. The first thing they do is remind the stupid voter (I.e, those that listen to the democrats) that this individual is no longer black/hispanic/etc.
Then it’s ok.

re: #106 by teacake
Ed’s scary post is about the global-warming summit in Copenhagen. However because congress hasn’t been able to ram crap and tax down our throats Obama may have trouble in Copenhagen:
http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0918/p08s01-comv.html
“Remember those high hopes for this December’s global-warming summit in Copenhagen, Denmark? Many nations were going to hold hands and jump together into the cold water of carbon cuts.”
“One for all and all for one. Sacrifices would be shared equally.”
“But Congress looks to be breaking up that party.”
Besides, any treaty signed by the President will need to be ratified by the Senate. Not that it couldn’t happen.

I don’t see anything wrong with charisma either, as a matter of fact I think it’s needed to woo a certain voting block of the simple minded. I personally look at the substance of a candidate and their record to see if it backs up what they say.
re: #172 by Lincolntf
Purposeful omission.
The msm didn’t look at his previous arrests at all, totally ignored the same threats against Bush and against the cops in general.
That let the lefty blogs insinuate that it is one of those ‘right wingers’ and many called it all racism against Obama.
When you have that going for you, why bother for the truth, right?
I still can’t find a picture of this guy, but the way he referred to himself in that pdf I linked to, and what he called that saundra armstrong person….. I don’t see it working out any other way, which may be WHY I can’t find a picture of this guy.

I say that we run good conservative men and women and ignore their race.
That way we’re not racists.
One’s race should enter into things just below their perferred method of eating eggs on even-numbered days.
The left is always going to be hateful and childish, but they’ll continue to get votes because they’re also the party giving away free money, taken from ‘the rich’ and given to those without jobs who don’t want to work.

She’s not even white herself, I would think she would be a bit extra sensitive to that crap. And LGF is listed under “left” sites. WTF.

Using the term “quisling” for GHWB is asinine. Whatever beef you have with him, he’s no fucking collaborator. Does everyone who doesn’t see things exactly like you do have to be stupid, insane or a traitor?
Sounds like you’re the one who misses LGF.
I agree that the republican spine needs to be stiffened. I always hoped that G.W. Bush would fignt back in his last 4 years.
It is admirable to try to rise above the fray, but I really, really wanted him to lay the smack down!

re: #194 by coldwarrior
can you explain to me how bush sr was a quisling?
Quisling, assisted Nazi Germany to conquer his own country, is a term used to describe traitors …
I think referring to him being a quisling, however, is not about then but rather now with his collaborating with Obama. 41 and 43 could both be at least be pointing out the obvious about Obama. That they are not indicates support, or I suppose that stupid tendency of theirs to allow everyone to walk all over them without speaking up. Seriously the Democrats and Obama have whined more in 8 months that Bush did in 8 years, and this from the entire media attacking Bush II.
But it seems to me that Rodan’s initial observation was spot on as the Bushs are not opposing Obama and the Democrats who are in fact conquering the United States. Maybe technically the term is incorrect, and I see Rodan changed Quisling to naive Republican,”I let my frustration at seeing another Republican licking the boots of the Progressives get the better of me.”
The Bush’s sure aren’t lining up to oppose Obama or the Democrats and to my way of thinking are in effect collaborating. If you prefer the term progressive boot licker to Quisling, then I will defer to that.
I withdraw the Quisling term and change it to progressive boot licker.

I missed the part where Atwater was admiring Mao as a philosopher.
Because he played fast and loose with the facts, the same way you do with McCain, Beck, Geller, Spencer, Limbaugh, Savage, Me, Iron Fist, and about three dozen others?

re: #233 by apachegunner
I’ve gone third party in a couple of local elections, and compromised in every national one for someone who “had a chance”, like McCain. (I actually voted for Sarah, but he was at the head of the ticket, so … )
Of the current crop, none seem too promising. Pawlenty’s not well known, and Da Beerfreak says he’s a Green nut. Huckabee’s a non-starter for me, at least. Romney’s out, with RomneyCare up in Mass. Jindal’s a maybe, but again not well known. Ditto Hunter.
I like Sarah’s fighting spirit. She was a reformer in Alaska, and is excellent on the Second Amendment. At the moment, she’s the one I’d go for.
re: #249 by snork
I did too. Maybe it’s because Atwater’s been dead 18 years. I guess that’s the best example of a ‘Mao-admiring’ Republican CJ’s been able to dredge up so far.
And even if CJ found a ‘better’ example, his ‘argument’ is still the same: once you subtract out the logical fallacies (Tu Quoque, Ad Hominem, Red Herring), mirabile dictu there’s nothing there.
However, CJ does prove something (once again) – that he’s intellectually challenged and/or intellectually dishonest.
