Via LGF, a very cool site for those who want to say Thank You to George W. Bush for the domestic security we've enjoyed since 9/11. I signed.

Some of the people closest to Barack today need not apply.

Listed below are links to blogs that reference this entry: Say Thank You.

Thanks?! You must be kidding. Thanks for getting us into two wars that have led to endless bogs, bleeding this country of funds and lives. And that includes one war (Iraq) that made no sense in the first place.

Thanks for what? For leaving us with record deficits that we'll spend years digging ourselves out of, after having inherited a surplus from Clinton? For leaving us with a tax structure that's even more regressive than before? For a massive trade deficit? A weakening of banking regulations that contributed to the sub-prime mess (no, it wasn't the CERA)? A weakened dollar? Severely damaged US image among our allies and friends abroad? His dismal showing on Katrina? His failure (unwillingness) to deal with lack of access to health care? For reneging on his promise to regulate carbon dioxide from coal-burning power plants, undermining EPA standards on car emissions, failure to address global warming in any manner?

Oh, yes, and we're so secure now that we've attacked a regime that, though odious, had no WMDs at the ready and had no meaningful contacts with Al Qaida. We're so secure now that our army is bogged down in Iraq, that we've hemmorhaged over $300 trillion dollars in a war with no immediate end, and lost badly needed political capital in the region and the world. And now that the chaos that we unleashed in that unstable country has brought Iran into the mix.

Sorry, but I won't be signing.

Where's the "screw you" website for him letting 9/11 happen on his watch.

Oh Joanne, you have no idea how much I'm looking forward to presenting a similar list in four years' time once reality sets in on the O, except my math will be better.

OK, Sol, it's a date. :-)

A couple of recommendations, historian Andrew Roberts and defense analyst Thomas Donnelly.

h/t Edward Feser's blog, which also has a well written piece.

Great links.

Of course, Joanne, we'll be getting started on that list right away.

Joanne,
A weakening of banking regulations that contributed to the sub-prime mess

Please go back and Look at Carter's legislation and then Clinton's and while you're about it read up on what Bush said in 2003 about F Mae, the congressional record of 2005 when McCain complained about Fanny M.
And include the behaviour of certain Congressmen towards the banks ......and all those Dems who took millions out of the F Ms.

What the hell, I'm not an American so why worry? Just don't pass your cold onto me.

Comment Info and Policy:

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.

3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...

4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

5) Enjoy your stay!

"Islam is not merely a personal religion but also the basis of a political community. If non-Muslims were entitled to the same rights as the faithful, then belief in God's final and perfect message as revealed in the Quran through his prophet Muhammad would be irrelevant, and the basis of the community would cease to exist."

-Lee Smith, The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations, p.30
