Cicerone, you expose your own naivity when you drone on and on about Bush being the most incompetent person imagineable. You only make your own credibility not worth a hill of beans. Criticism is valid if realistic and balanced. I think you have simply gone over the edge. I will cite an example.
Your hero FDR did no wrong according to the commonly held belief among Democrats. You and your like minded libs now chastise Bush and virtually accuse him of being a terrorist, a traitor, a moron, and having committed atrocities by holding terrorist suspects until such time we know what to do with them, and in the meantime, we collect intelligence information from them. You also accuse Bush of violating our rights, on and on, because of electronic surveillance of suspected terrorist communications.
Contrast this with FDR rounding up tens of thousands at least, I don't know the total number, and placed them in work camps, could be called concentration camps, confiscated their property, and placed them at hard labor......and what was their crime? ..... for having a last name or heritage of Japanese descent or of other descent considered a possible threat to us. Most of these people were American citizens. Imposter, people of your political agenda give FDR a pass, hardly a mention of this, he is still your hero apparently. Not only this, Imposter, I know from talking to vets that it was not unusual for their mail and personal letters to be opened and read, personal letters that they sent from where they were back home.
Do not misunderstand me, I am not here to criticize FDR, but I simply wish to point out the man and his administration did much worse things in some areas than what Bush has ever done. I have not even mentioned other issues, such as theories that FDR knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor, that he cost many lives by not recognizing the handwriting on the wall sooner. Actually, when the chips were down, I have a respect for FDR. He was an American that loved his country, I believe, and I can overlook his mistakes. This even though I disagree with some of his New Deal. Bottom line, FDR did what he thought was best, I believe. We survived as a country, for which I am grateful.
Similarly, you can disagree with Bush, I can give you that, but I think honest people know he is doing the best he can, which is far better than most people that could have had the job, in my opinion. We should never overrate the capabilities of presidents. They are just men with feet of clay. Go ahead criticize him, but you do not need to be unrealistic.
Imposter, you and your ilk are so blatantly hypocritical, ignorant of historical context, and extreme in all of your arguments, you render yourself pointless. I actually do not know why I enjoy debating you guys. I suppose it is a fascinating study of the workings of the liberal mind, but I continue to be amazed at the beliefs that I can hardly believe you must have. It is disheartening to say the least.
