What Do you think is the most Important thing President Bush Did when He Was In Office.

He will be doing it next week. Leaving.

I think his most important positive accomplishment was assembling the team of intelligence and law enforcement officials, plus who knows who else, that has prevented another terrorist attack from occurring on U.S. soil since 9/11.  It would blow people's minds if they knew that terrorists (both foreign and home grown: the numbers of both are exponentially increasing), with the help of rogue nations (hate to say it but this list 'o' nations includes China, North Korea, almost all of the middle east, Russia, blah blah blah the list just goes on and on) and with the help of international and domestic organized crime, plus the occasional misanthropic loner---if they knew how many people were trying nonstop all across the nation, let alone the world, to pull off any and every type of attack, man it would blow people's minds.  The magnitude of this accomplishment cannot be overstated and maybe not even understood.  It has required a never-before-seen level of cooperation internationally, intranationally between all agencies and at all levels of government.  It has required the enactment of unpopular laws which nevertheless are probably responsible for your being alive today.  Do you think terrorists don't go to the library and surf the internet and plan your destruction on jihad websites? Do not take it for granted that nothing has happened.

Presidents Bush, Sr. and Jr., and Reagan, will eventually be remembered for their humanitarian advances around the world. 

Reagan brought about the downfall of the Soviet Union, got Mao and Deng Hsiaopeng to continue the humanitarian reforms Nixon started (and Clumsy Carter bungled), ended a trillion dollars a year of Democrat pork barrel abuses, put the American Medical Association on notice that the medical profession is NOT abve the law, and pulled the legal profession back to reasonable disciplinary standards.  Reagan also put the Democrats on notice that they were no longer a law unto themselves, and they had best play within the rules.  When the Democrats complied, we had eight very good years of cooperative government, sound and sustainable economic growth, and ecological remedies that are still in force, contrary to Democrat misfeasance.

Bush Sr. brought about the fall of Iraqi tyranny, freed the world from "oil slavery" at the hands of Insane Hussein, rallied 35 nations to the cause of peace, brought China out of the dark ages of communism, and expanded American exports over 35%. 

Bush Jr. had to rescue the government from five trillion dollars in Clinton's pork barrel spending abuses, restore the faith of the American people in their elected leaders, regain the cooperation of LOYAL democrats (there is only one now, John Glenn D. Ohio) and basically humanize the disloyal Democrats yet again.  That wasn't easy as jackasses make more jackasses. 

Bush Jr. responded with appropriate and measured force to the 9-11 horror, while most Democrats wanted to launch nuclear weapons on Iraq, Iran, Afghainstan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon.  Bush blocked that insane move which so angered the disloyal democrats that they withdrew from America and instead became Obamites. 

Omabites won, therefore, every rational person lost -- severely.  QED.

Because Obamites are entirely anti-American, they will furiously threaten me for telling the truth but I will tell the truth anyway.  Obamites demand civil war and hate Republicans because we are loyal to America. 

Southern, as a conservative I agree with you on a lot of points. However, there is no president who has not screwed something up. The one thing that drove me nuts about Reagan was his single-minded mission of destroying anything that smacked of communism, even when it was nothing of the sort.  For instance, he had no business interfering in El Salvador in the early 80s.  The poor campesinos were waging a civil war against the wealthy, oppressive landowners.  Somehow he was convinced they were communists and aided the government in smacking them down.  At least this is what I read in a book called Witness To War, by a Quaker doctor who was there during the conflict.  It annoys me when any leader displays single-minded devotion to any political ideology, making them into a hammer that sees nothing but nails.  Also, didn't Bush Sr. put Saddam Hussein into power? I guess it all boiled down to protecting our oil supply, and he thought he was installing a cooperative guy. But I'm not necessarily wringing my hands over that, since I don't know enough to know whether that was good or bad.  But it's always bad to have to depend on someone else for something you need.  You don't hold the chips and you're bound to get screwed.

I think if they can't stop illegal aliens and drugs from stopping our borders they don't stand a chance against terrorists.

I think the war on terror is as phony as a 3 dollar bill.

I think your a fool to think the government has illegally suceeded in taking away so many of our inalienable rights.

Real Americans aren't cowards or scared of Islamic boogie men. The war on terror has bankrupted this nation economically and morally.

For shame.

"I think if they can't stop illegal aliens and drugs (from illegally crossing our borders) they don't stand a chance against terrorists."

I think you're right about that.  A porous border is one thing, a chaotic border is another.  Did you know that the sign at our border which forbids illegal crossing is written in arabic as well as spanish?  We are sailing on a very leaky ship.
