Name a landmark after Bush

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 24, 2008 10:52 AM

Kosovo shows its appreciation by naming a street after President Bush.

It’s better than a sewage plant.

Sorry to be a Grinch, but with his massive government bailout legacy hanging overhead, perhaps someone should name a bottomless pit after W.

Your suggestions?

    Flyoverman, MathMom, et al.

    You are disgusted because we criticize one of our own? We on this blog may (for the most part) respect many of the achievements of GWB, but to limit ourselves to only the positive makes us kool-aid drinkers like the most liberal counterparts.

    Simply put, we must be able to comment fairly in an unbiased fashion those we agree with before we can unleash a torrent of criticisms against those we oppose. Anything else would be intellectual dishonesty.

    Please remember that you have the ability to ignore or not read anything you disagree with. That is what makes you a free thinker and a common thread on this website. Limiting others and their thoughts puts you in the same category as those who would enact the “fairness doctrine”.

    I wish you peace this Christmas

    There’s a difference between stating your opinion, positive or negative, in a rational, logical way as opposed to ridiculing and name calling. Suggesting demeaning names isn’t what I’d call the mature and rational approach – especially against the person occupying the Office of the President.

    I believe, like some others here, that Michelle did a disservice by opening up this thread inviting derogatory names of “landmarks” in dishonor of George W. Bush.

    I strongly suggest the rubble at the base of Mt. Rushmore; If one were to visit and spend some time searching, you will find a few golden nuggets, such as Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, Gitmo, no further attacks on our soil, the fight finally taken to our enemy, which is islamofascism, true respect for our military, and tax cuts; But alas, the bulk of the rubble consists of excessive spending, veto pens, illegal alien advocacy, and abandonment of free market principles; Now that pile of rubble I can see from here in Tennessee; And we are all going to feel it for a long time to come!

    There are many things to praise GW about, and I have done so in the past. But I am so furious over the whole illegal alien issue and his treatment of our border agents, it overrides everything good that he has done. This will be what I remember about him and it is a real shame. What is it about this issue that has so completely blinded him?? The illegals are destroying this country, and the border agents who were trying to capture one of the lowest cockroaches on the earth, a drug smuggler, are in prison. What, in the name of common sense, is GW thinking??

    cabrerski -

    Thanks for your comments. Do you know the phrase, “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good”? It is that to which I refer. I voted for GWB in 2000 because Al Gore is so freaking strange, and because he chose Dick Cheney for VP. I voted for him in 2004 because on 9/11/2001 he grew up and became by-God PRESIDENT. I did not worry obsessively about the spending he was doing, because I believe a growing economy can overcome some bad economic choices. But a growing economy cannot outpace the idiocy of Democrats selling out to unions and pandering to their constituents. They brought us the red ink bag that has exploded in GWB’s face, and don’t forget it. If you keep dissing Bush and making the Republican name seem sour to those who will become disillusioned by our new Obamabot overlords, and they will not bite for what we are selling, either.

    I may use adult language around adults, but I watch what I say around children. In the same way, the other side reads MM, and if she and her commenters are so down on Bush and Repubs, where are you going to get new Repubs to turn around the ship of State?

    Also, do not forget who brought us our illegal alien problem – Ronald Reagan did the first amnesty. Yes, he believed the congress would really truly seal the borders, and as usual, they lied. And he also used the Social Security money to magically “balance” the budget, and that is biting us in the nether regions bigtime now. Can you imagine what great shape SS would now be in if the money available had been riding the stock market of the 90’s? It might have grown so it would be solvent for years beyond its looming “sell by” date. I leave it to some interested bean counter to determine whether the miracle of compound interest and investing Social Security funds in powerful wealth creators such as Home Depot in the late 80’s could have outpaced the demographic realities that are now bankrupting SS and Medicare.

    Even the great Reagan didn’t get all his choices right, and the ones he missed were BIG.

    Did you post your comment at comments@whitehouse.gov? I mean, if you wonder what George Bush is thinking, like, Dude! Send him an email! Get 1 million of your closest friends (enlist MM to get the ball rolling like she did on illegal immigration) and fill his inbox and flood the phone lines and campaign for Ramos and Campean’s pardon.

    Yes, he has made mistakes on that score. I have personally hired illegals to do work for me, because I have grown up with illegal Mexican workers and truly never really thought about the implications, until I learned that prayer rugs are being discovered on this side of the Mexican border, as potential Muslim terrorists of various ethnic backgrounds infiltrate our country. Many of them resemble Mexicans so they can slither in that way.

    I have had to rethink my previous “whatever” attitude, and now I do not hire these people. Convince your representatives in Congress of the rightness of your opinion on this subject. Don’t waste pixels posting in comment sections to the exclusion of calling your representative and your President. Have you written the same number of emails to the White House and Senate and House o’ Reps as you have comments on blogs that will not change public policy?

    And for that matter, has MM started agitating for all of us who read her blog to flood the WH with calls for the pardon of the border agents? I can talk about it to my friends, but I do not have MM’s readership. Would her efforts not be put to a better use if she directed them to mobilizing her readers to action, rather than thinking up mean things to say about GWB and whether you can name an outhouse after him?

    I agree with you that his treatment of these TWO border agents is an abomination, and we must try to get him to pardon them and Scooter Libby. But it does not outweigh the liberation of 50 MILLION enslaved Iraqis and Afghans.

    Right, Bush and the years of the Republican lead Congress had no responsibility for the “red ink bag”. MathMom, you’re delusional. You should think of changing your name to MethMom. Oh wait, that name has been taken by Bristol’s baby daddy’s mama.

    Well said.

    Yesterday, I wrote the President and pleaded with him for the release of Ramos and Campeon, whose imprisonment I consider a travesty. But it was done with respect.

    Ridicule isn’t going to accomplish squat.

    I did a little googling for you, instead of sending you an e-card. You might want to watch this, and it’s possible that you will see that the roots of the red ink bag we’ve been talking about are deep, years old, and are directly under the Dem side of the House and Senate.

    This link shows ACORN’s role in making the red ink bag. Their lawyer? Barack Obama. Democrat. Now, unfortunately, President-to-be, and unfortunately, a man who never took Econ 101.

    This link shows the beginning of the Community Reinvestment Act, started by Jimmy Carter. Did I mention that he is a Democrat?

    Hold on to your hat, les. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

    In terms of the origin of red ink and the Social Security debacle I have a two word comment: Great Society.

    Calculate the ROI on that sweet little program.

    No it doesn’t. Ramos and Camprean are Americans, who were doing their job protectin all of us. It is the RESPONSIBILITY of our government to protect its borders. It is not the responsibility of the US to rid the world of dictators. We are NOT the policeman of the world. We should however be able to police our own borders.

    No, sorry, I care much more about Ramos and Campian than I do about Iraq

    Flyoverman, I agree that there are two types of people in this world, but it’s those who count and those who don’t. As to the ROI, if you’re such a math wizz, can you please enlighten us on how to calculate the ROI. I suspect that you can neither count or do count.
