My Tribute to Our 43rd President, and the Man, George W. Bush,
Every single person who makes fun of this President and condems him making him out to be this 'evil' man are SO WRONG it is SCARY. Every single human being who slanders and complains about President Bush, is not only lying to others, but they are robbing themselves of a wonderful awareness and comprehension of just what this President stands for, has done and is still doing for this Country, and even the World. They are cheating themselves of knowing this President for all that he truly is.They use Geroge W. Bush's faith against him. They call his belief in God an 'evil' defect of character. They label his personal spiritual/life experiences as destructive weapons that harm this Nation. And in doing this, they all loose. Each and every one of those misguided, delusional Critics miss out on experiencing the grace and moral integrity that this President has brought into 21st Century American Politics. They loose out on seeing the SOUL of and within this American President and therfore cheapen their own worth as an American.
Bush haters have caused more evil, intensified more defects in more characters, and invoked more destruction and harm on the American people and America, itself, then what ALL of the terrorists put together could have done to us. Those delusional streams of insults and condemnations have also had more influence on the Global community's growing negative perception of America than Chavez, Bin Laden, and every virgin-obsessed jihad psycho, put together could have created.. By their own devices, these bitter Liberals have partially suceeded in doing the exact opposite of what George Bush has been fighting to do everyday; they have DIVIDED; they are the ultimate DIVIDERS.
Their manipulation on the American/Global psyche has tainted and weakened America. George Bush didnt weaken nor did he taint America, the pollution in America called the Left-Wing Emissions are the culprits. Just as the 19th Century Democrats fought and resisted Lincoln's efforts to secure the Union; we see the 21st Century Democrats fighting and resisting Bush's efforts to unite. One of most graceful, honorable, consistent, loving, tolerant, has-an-ability-to-laugh-at-himself, humble, humanitarian-minded, sees-everybody-as-equal, bi-lingual, cooperative, spiritually-driven, Presidents America has ever seen is going highly unnoticed, unrecognized and under-appreciated because a few Left-wing extremists with lots of money and no lives decided that maybe it would be beneficial to the Democratic Party if they used this whole 9/11/ War on Terrorism to twist it to be Bush's evil doing instead of what it actually was; Bush's unchosen Legacy.
The Bourbon Democrats (the big money big wigs of the party) still exist. In the late 1800's the Bourbon Democrats funded the KKK and other anti-Lincoln, anti-Republican groups that could aid them in defaming the Lincoln/Republican position/arguement. Now we see the Bourbon Democrats in 2007, fund moveon.org, 9/11 conspiratorial groups, Code Pink, etc..to battle Bush/Republican position/arguement. Lincoln fought for an end to Slavery, and Bush is fighting for an end to Religious intolerance and extremism. This is emphasized by George W. Bush, himself, when he described Islamic extremists as, "...evil people who hijacked a great Religion." Right before we invaded Afghanistan in 2001, Bush noted for Afghans, "Religion can be practiced only as their leaders dictate...we are all God's children." After defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan, Bush said, "Today, as America wages war against terror, our resolve to defend Religious freedom remains as strong as ever." Both Lincoln and Bush share the mutual desire for freedom and tolerance. And they both share the mutual will and determination to kick ass to achieve those freedoms and clear the path for those tolerances to manifest.
Many forget that President Bush was HANDED this specific Presidential time period's course of events. In their duranged defamation, they have somehow convinced themselves that he CREATED these events. Bitterness and negativity have blinded so many people from seeing straight. The weight of their hatred and judgement has actually disabled their once innate ability to interpret physical reality efficiently.
It seems to me, that it might be well worth our time and energy to remember their is a real MAN who has been serving this Country as our President since 2000. He is a man and more importantly, he is a HUMAN BEING. And if you accept the fact that President George W. Bush is a Human Being, then you have to also accept that he has no special powers or magical God-Like or even Satan-like abilities. If you accept the humanness of this President, then you must accept that he can not create Hurricanes, he has no human capabilties to create an Islamic extremist group that desires the destruction of America, he did not invent long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics that makes up oil, he can not make water levels rise just enough so that they break levies, he didnt make half of America vote for him TWICE.
And the most important thing to remember is that this human is ONE human, who just so happens to be serving as Our President during this ONE particular slice in time period in American history, cant save us ALL from experiencing ALL of the social ills and realities. President Bush can't save all of us from; death, poverty, crime, drug addiction, taxes, jihad, pain, disease, old age, conflict, injustices, fear, sadness, bruises, debt, out-dated voting methods, discrimination, insecurities, divorce, lack of desire, lack of motivation, lack of goals, the lack of human potential and most of all this ONE HUMAN, who has been elected to serve this Nation as Commander-In-Chief can NOT be everything to everyone all the time. In his own words, "We have serious cracks in our culture that no amount of plaster will fix, unless we shore up our moral foundation. All the laws in the World can not make us love eachother."
Before he was ever President of the United States, he was George W. Bush, the MAN, the FELLOW AMERICAN. Before he was a faithful President, George Bush was a faithful HUSBAND. Before he was Commander-in-Chief of the greatest Nation in the World, he was the greatest DADDY in the World to Jenna and Barbara. Before George W. Bush was a Compassionate Conservative, he was a Compassionate FRIEND. Before George W. Bush was Governor of Texas, he was a 7- year-old little boy, and a big brother to his 3-year-old little sister, Robin. Before George W. Bush had ever stepped foot into the Oval Office, he was a 7-year-old little boy, and a big brother that had to attend his 3-year-old little sister's funeral, after she died from Leukemia. After Robin died, that 7-year-old boy looked at his Daddy and unselfishly said, "Dad, I wish I was Robin."
Every moment after those attacks on September 11. 2001, this Man, this Human, this American President, George W. Bush did the only thing a President could do. RESPOND and RISE to the Call of duty. Since he couldnt just make a new law that would end jihad and Islamic extremism; he was only left then with his Presidential powers, which could be flexed and applied by the rights of the Constitution. As President, his responsibilities and obligations were greater than you or I could ever imagine. This man who happened to be Our Leader during this horrific event, was the face of this wounded Nation, he was this Nations' voice to the World, he was suddenly left the greatest weight that a sitting President could ever endure, and he did the best to his ability, in good faith, with calm resolve along with a swift, collective conscience behind him.
No one likes to be that guy who has to lead, carry and be the main face that has to leap first into that unknown, ultimately attracting the Public to focus on only HIS face. And we all know very well that even in football, the Quarter Back can get the bad review and recieve the most public scrutiny, when everyone knows darn well, that the teams defects weren't just the results of a bad Quarter Back. Since the Quarter Back is the first one to get the ball thrown TO him, it is no wonder why the Quarter Back is percieved as the lead role. Once that ball first hits the QB hands, the QB must then look out into a field of players and discern where he is to throw that ball to next. Whoever the QB chooses to recieve his pass, can ultimately make or break it for the rest of the team. If the Defense doesnt give the Quarter Back suffiecient coverage, that Quarter Back has a much higher chance of falling before he even gets the chance to pass that ball along to the next team member, and then the desired goal gets stifled.
President Bush is like a Quarter Back. He had the ball thrown to him, he quickly scanned the playing field, he used discernment, he swiftly made adjustments,he aimed and then he threw the ball. I would have to say he ran the team down the field for two touchdowns, during his teams' first two possessions. He destroyed the Taliban in Afghanistan, then he took down Saddam. Just recently in the the 7th quarter of the game, North Korea finally agreed to disarm and disable their nuclear program; touchdown. Maybe its just me, but I think this guy has some great game.
I couldn't help myself. President Bush is the first American President, since Ronald Reagan that inspires me. This President deserves our respect, and our prayers..and if your an Atheist, replace prayers with 'good thoughts'. He is leading our Nation, whether you like it or not. He has had more unpredictable catastrophic events take place during the last 7 years of his Presidency, its a wonder how much grace, humility and calm resolve he has managed to retain through all of it. He still laughs at himself, he still has the ability to keep his head up, and stay determined. And really, President Bush DOES have ONE secret Magical power, George W. Bush's only magical power is his FAITH.
Thank you George W. Bush for serving my Country as President. I love you for the great man you are, and I love what you have brought to this Presidency. You have had to do things I cant imagine having to even contimplate, let alone do. You have had to face such adversity, that I dont think even Superman could have stayed sane, let alone still intact with Faith after all this. You are in my prayers, and I just wanted to let you know I appreciate how much you have had to carry and confront for all of us.
GOD BLESS YOU, GEORGE W. BUSH, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!Yours Truly,The Political Sage
