Not theory bullshit.

You know nothing Whimsy Snow.
Not only was he a key player in murdering a president of the USA in 63 but he also tried to kill Reagan. Ronny was supposed to die that day making Georgy PREZ.
Or maybe it was just a coincidence that the bushes close texas oil friends the hinkleys mentally unstable son just happened to shoot reagan a few months into his presidency.
Ex CIA head Bush was the real power for the rest of Reagans 8 year term.
Funny how the media never addressed just how tight the bushes and hinkleys were.
Or should I instead be a drone like you and say "Oh RIP you great man"?
The BUSH family has a lot of blood on their hands and they got insanely wealthy from it.

RIP Mr.President
Iran Contra......
The man sold guns to Iran.....
The man headed the cocaine smuggling into OUR country.....
If you celebrate cocaine pimps then that’s on you I for one piss on drug dealing scum.
So many involved in the Arkansas smuggling operation have openly stated that George was on the sceane many times.
Oliver North was the fall guy.
CIA to his skull and bones.

It was during the George H.W. Bush administration that my eyes opened to just how dirty Republicans play politics. I was a big fan of the Senior Bush, but I was only fifteen when he was running for President. My adolescent and teenage political thought was shaped by my surroundings, the local newspaper being quite conservative in it's point of view ran a lot of op-ed that I ate up, I penned many a letter that got printed in the Saturday letters and opinion section, and I remember the endorsements and banter of the paper and other local opinion letters to the editors. By the time Bush Sr. was up for reelection I was old enough to vote, but also four years older, and had really started analyzing my own political thought and what I had been exposed to just four years earlier and the duration of the Bush Administration, and how George H.W. had gone from historically high approval ratings following The Gulf War to really dismal approval ratings after the, "Read My Lips" fiasco. I was beginning to understand how the religious right had co-opted the Republican party to further their anti-abortion agenda (and everything else attached to, "social conservatism"), and how they fear-mongered to gain votes, a notable example being when my local paper ran an op-ed during the '88 campaign about how The Soviet Union supported Michael Dukakis. Long story short, I was becoming well aware of who Lee Atwater was (Roger Ailes' mentor), and how many ties George H.W. had to the Nixon administration. I look fondly back upon my high school Republicanism, but in a few short subsequent years I had put that childish thought pattern behind and started seeing the world in a far more nuanced way. George H.W. Bush is still one of my political heroes, probably not a perfect man, but a true Statesman, and a Great American. Rest In Peace, sir.
I like how George H.W. Bush pronounced Saddam as in Saddam Hussein. He pronounced it SĀD-um and didn't care lol.
Thank you for your service to our country Mr. President several times over as Vice President, CIA Director and a Naval aviator in WWII. May you rest in peace and may your family have solace.

Correction: SAD-um with a flat vowel not long. Whatever you know what was meant.
Exactly. He's no hero. Plus I like pilots who don't get shot down.
So we're just gonna forget that he was complicit in Iran-Contra. We're just gonna forget that he escalated the war on drugs. And we're just gonna forget that 6 women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault? Ok...

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
R.I.P., President Bush. :hatsoff:
I didn't vote for him and I didn't care so much for his leadership (or lack thereof). But I'll say the same thing when Carter, W. Bush, Clinton, Obama and Trump die... assuming I outlive them. Carter is probably the most moral of the bunch, but even he wasn't without sin. They've all had scandals within their administrations and most have demonstrated serious character flaws. But I believe in honoring the men who've held THE office when they pass away. Just a personal belief. Others can do as they please.

Exactly. And what I am doing here that others lack the decorum of doing.
I just happened to be up when the articles broke so I posted. I'd do the same for Clinton. A simple RIP, no commentary, just showing respect for a President that passed away. No more, no less.
:hatsoff: (I can't rep you so have a tippy hat!)
RIP to him
You're absolutely correct, Johan.
That's cool, but don't forget you have Stockholm Syndrome.
