I'll say it. As a prior member of the Arbor Day Foundation, I know it's good to plant MORE trees, but I'm even more sure that the world is better off with FEWER Bushes! Although Bush Sr did help out with ending the cold war, he also lit the fuse that started America's policy of middle eastern interventionism, which has mostly been a failure in almost every way.
In light of that, and in light of 30 years of anti-Bush propaganda in the news media, I found it odd that CNN seemed to be suddenly praising him as a "uniter" and a great all-around guy! Of course my confusion was short lived(literally less than 1 minute), as their real motivation quickly became clear. What they were doing was to contrast the 'kindness, selflessness and morality' of a previous repuboican, with the selfish, uncaring nature of the current republican president! Lol. They offered up exactly the same line of propaganda when McCain died, despite the fact that they disrispected, ridiculed and even fabricated personal scandals against those republicans when they were actually running for president! It's funny how the media will suddenly speak well of republicans when they are dead, and/or aren't running for office against their favorite Democratic party candidate! Oy vey....

Remember when Republican Presidents didn't get us into neverending wars? And correctly understood that taxes need to go up? And saw intelligence as something to be aspired to and not mocked?
I miss those days. RIP to the one decent President Bush we had.
Taxes need to go up? That's silly. We need to keep them at a flat rate, period.

-snip- Won't be surprised if trump demands to speak at the funeral. And his entire speech will be about how great HE is.
- snip -Sadly he forgot to ask his family NOT to invite trump to his state funeral. Probably dementia. So the state funeral is probably going to be a circus. trump will demand to have the entire front row reserved for himself, his third wife, his wanna be wife Ivanka, her husband, the sons, their wives, their mistresses etc etc etc..
White House
Despite bitter family rivalry, Bush wanted Trump at his funeral
Family confidants say the former president wished to put all enmity aside when it came to Trump attending his funeral.

When you compare HW to Trump,it is a none event,One Totally Moral,the latter Morally Bankrupt,not only that HW had a vastly higher IQ,contary to what 1 SELF OPINIONATED MORON SAYSI don't care for the republicans at all. However HW Bush was a war hero and should be respected for his service. And his refusal to endorse trump was a decent thing to do too.

Whiny assed liberals had 8 years to end this never ending war that you speak of.
I agree that there probably shouldn't have been a sequel to Operation Desert Storm. I also think the Afghanistan war is a debacle at this point. But I'll also point out that Bush could NOT have started either war without support from many democrats! Hillary supported BOTH wars since 9/11!
Bush raised taxes after promising not to, which the progressives in the mainstream media HAMMERED him for very, very often. Its funny, because I've never heard a mainstream media journalist complain about tax increases ANY other time! In fact, they are almost universally in favor of ANY tax incresses, except for just that particular one! Must just be a coincidence! Lol
Stopped reading right there. I will not entertain right-wing lies. :thumbs:To your 2nd point, there are no republicans who think that taxes are supposed to just keep going up, and up and up! There aren't many who want to attach additional taxes onto anything they can think of either. Its democrats who support those ideas.
Why do conservatives use such juvenile language to try to make their points nowadays? :roll:

Seriously, is the reasoning not obvious? When the current president is a rude, moronic mob boss wannabe, all past presidents seem like geniuses and saints in comparison.
You do realize that the same thing is said about every past republican presidental candidate by the media. They are horrible monsters while they are still competimg for power and then they pretend thry are so mich better than the current ctop of republicans when they are gone.Seriously, is the reasoning not obvious?

Shows how horrible our situation is. Even Republicans didn't want HW Bush for a second term.
