**** bush and **** hicks

powder, in a baseball blog I hesitate to ask….but my curiosity has gotten to me. If Bush is a war criminal as you state, exactly what crime has he committed? Please include the statute and authority of that statute with your response. And by the way, in our country, the President has little power without the support of Congress. So please enlighten us. The other garbage by a creative typist deserves no response.
If he does throw out the first pitch, I’ll give him a standing ovation. I disagreed with many of his policies especially at the end. But, anyone who is elected President has given the country great service. I believe he has given his country more than any of us over our lifetimes. Only the ignorant think that one man in the USA would have so much power. I don’t believe that about President Obama and I didn’t vote for him or his socialist agenda. That’s why the 2010 elections are so much more important than the past Presidential election. Respectfully submitted. Remember, because we disagree doesn’t make us enemies. We just disagree.

Dear mrhallway:
Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equality for all individuals, with a fair or egalitarian method of compensation. Modern socialism originated in the late 19th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticized the effects of industrialization and private ownership on society. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution, and would represent a transitional stage between the capitalist and communist modes of production. (Pretty good definition from wiki).
Does the above sound familiar? It should and it’s the most un-American philosophy one can have on this side of tyranny or dictatorship. Anyone who embraces this ideology embraces the destruction of the USA as we know it. The uniformed Obamabots are so starstruck by his eloquence, they don’t see what he’s really doing. Even other world leaders are currently dressing him down.
As for you response to President Bush. Do you really believe that one man can have so much control? You really don’t understand how government works. I don’t agree with many things that happened in the last administration any more than I agree with what’s happening now. I would still like to see a definition of a war criminal and exact war crimes documented by statute. Anyone can use a broad brush of speculation to label someone as a war criminal. Bring facts. What exactly was his role in falsified reports of the yellow plutonium? And, you should at least concede that the Democratic Congress for the past two years has been and still is a joke. Or do you worship the ground that Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, and others walk on as you hate President Bush. And now, back to baseball. How ’bout them Rangers?!

With the number of fans booing, I’m not sure that is such a great way to start the Rangers season……….

Okay, you have listed crimes committed by officials in the Bush Administration, but you still, even with your yellow plutonium reference, have not succeeded in naming something, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Bush himself has done. Violations of international law? If you check, our country has not agreed to participate in the “international court” and we have not given up our sovereignty yet. I guess you are one of the people who will welcome and are willing to support some of those “victims” who will be released from Guantanamo.
The worst President in history? I think Jimmy Carter’s legacy might have something to say about that.
Our current President just fired the CEO of a “private” business. Since when in the history of the USA has something like that happened? At least be brave enough to admit you support socialist ideology. If you don’t see the parallels going on now, your much more naive than you think and you are part of the problem. George Bush is no longer the President and you guys are running out of “it was Bush” coupons to blame the ills of the world on. Do you agree with the Federal government trying to punish AIG using tax law which is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution? That’s what socialist/communist governments do. (see USSR, China, Cuba, etc.)
As far as baseball under the stars goes, I don’t want a “quality free agent” who doesn’t have the guts to pitch here. There has been many successful pitchers who have done well here. Ask Fergie about that heat in his 25 win season. How about Blyleven, Perry, Nolan Ryan, Charlie Hough, Kenny Rogers, John Burkett, Aaron Sele, and Ken Hill? All of those guys had quality seasons in the heat so it can be done. The fact that those are the only quality names I can come up with in 30 years of Rangers baseball defines the sub-mediocrity of the franchise more than the Texas heat and baseball under the stars. But, as most socialist liberals, you would choose to blame George Bush for 37 years of Ranger frustration instead of facing reality. In fact, reality is that the Rangers franchise has had their ONLY success during the Bush ownership. We all watched as Tom Hicks quickly dismantled that when he got here, or maybe that was Bush’s fault too.

Well, there you have it. A typical Democrat response when his back is against the wall and his arguments are shallow. Name calling. Now it’s MY fault and I’m a Bush lovin idiot.
I guess you missed the part where I said Pres. Bush did a lot of things, especially at the end of his run, that I don’t agree with anymore than I agree with the continuation of that by the current President. This is the problem with our country. We have been divided into Republicans and Democrats and we seem to have shed the common ground of being an American. If what Bush did is so bad, why is it okay for President Obama to do the same thing but amplified? I have been watching over the past 8 years as our country was attacked, we got involved in 2 wars (legitimately or not), and we had a major hurricane destroy and American city. Those catastrophies I guess I’ll take full responsibility for if you need someone to blame. But, how is all of this spending solving the problem? If you max your credit cards and get behind on your mortgage, do you try to spend more money, or do you try to cut back on some things, consolidate your debt, and steadily work to pay it down. What our, yes OUR, government is doing today is totally opposite of solid, time tested financial principles.
Finally, our country is at the beginning of something that is going to be unlike anything we have ever faced. At some point, you, me, and everyone else is going to have to push the donkey and elephant aside, bind ourselves together, and lift our country out of this mess. If you lay your hopes at the feet of greedy politicians, you have no hope. Hope lays in a return to the values of our American forefathers. Values that include a small government that is here to protect our borders and our personal security; not to sell us a car or guarantee our warranty. I still enjoy this discussion and I respectfully disagree with you.

Agreed mrhallway. Absolutely agreed! See ya on another Rangers post and back to baseball.
