Then again, there’s still some cheese left, right?

That Bush deserves credit for no further attacks on the U.S. at home- it’s hard to prove or disprove a negative but I am willing to cede that he may have played a role. But (you hadda know there’d be a “but”), to kill Americans they didn’t have to come here-we sent Americans to their doorstep. And now the occupation serves as a tremendous ongoing propaganda, recruiting, and training opportunity for jihadists, putting us at greater risk over the longer term.

Now, about those *liberal dingbats writing history*, aren’t there any right-wing dingbats with their own pen & paper?

One more “but”- *Bush has never courted the favor of the "polls" but he has done what he thought would protect the country*… on this, you and I stand on opposite sides of a pretty large chasm.

A democracy is rising slowly in Iraq. It will be the first in the Muslim Middle East. Harry Truman left office as a very despised man, but now he is considered a courageous leader. Bush has never courted the favor of the “polls” but he has done what he thought would protect the country. Fifty years from now, if a viable democracy remains in Iraq, Bush will be considered as another courageous President.

Oh second thought, no, he won’t. Because Liberal dingbats write the history books. I actually heard a college professor blame the past weeks’ financial problems on Ronald Reagan, and he left office 20 years ago.

From each who has the most need.
To each who had the most greed.

The main basis for the economy is failing. Everything will seemingly come to an end.

We have had governments intent on satisfying the pleasures sought by consumers and financiers. Everyone has gone on a binge. The binge was justified by the confusion of liberty with desire for consumption based on borrowed funds. Now we are about to pay the price.

The parties of no government are coming forward with plans for lots of government. In the next few weeks the United States Government will commence transfer payments from current taxpayers and future generations of taxpayers to bail out one side of the economic equation of consumers and financiers — transfer payments to the financiers.

Our leaders have defaulted on the taxpayers. They have proven themselves to be without honor, courage, and consistancy. We have been sold a bill of goods, and now we reap a bill of wrongs.

As for me? While my conservatism keeps me positioned in such a way that I am not as affected by such events as others, my timing has never been good to “take advantage” of these types of events. I started building a new house not too long after Katrina and while the housing boom was still peaking (translated: paid higher costs than otherwise could have had I waited until now —but, who knew for certain this would happen?). IF I only had me one of those accurate crystal balls,…………

Bad timing has been the story of my life. LOL. That Dr. John song (Right place, wrong time) could have been written about me.

I am not sure this vulture observation of mine actually helps anyone this Sat. morning, but I always try to look at the silver linings along with the clouds.
