George Bush, 41st President, Dies at 94
Alright before all y'all try to vindicate this ghoul just remember: - Iran-Contra, flooded cities with cocaine, helped Oliver North brazenly lie, pardoned everyone involved - supported fascism in Yugoslavia which helped create a civil war and genocide - highway of death, killing thousands of civilians - invasion of panama - pardoned literal terrorists like Orlando Bosch - ignored AIDs crisis just like Reagan - defended Pinochet - paraded the downfall of the Soviet Union, helped Yeltsin and his buddies "privatize" major industries which created the rise of Russian billionaire oligarchs - allowed his neocon friends to use his idiot son as a tool to continue their imperialistic foreign policy in the middle east https://nyti.ms/2DU2iwe
RIP
Sorry if I won't shed a tear for a war criminal
The man was a hero just from the standpoint of flying successful bombing missions against japan in WWII. Let your hate be tabled, at least for a full day.
Hitler was a highly, highly decorated veteran of WW1. Does that make him a hero? Brutally bombing Japan was a war crime. We killed over 100k civilians, burned Tokyo to the ground, and nuked two cities. Being part of that doesn't make someone a "hero"
No one asked them to cowardly attack pearl harbor and then ignore multiple requests to surrender.
How petty and small do you have to be to post a hateful message within an hour of a mans death? Try looking for the good things he did. Decide to focus on positive things.
You do remember he was in CIA right? What do you expect? Nobel Peace Prize?
Yes, thats why I included Pinochet and his support of literal terrorism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor
But his war on drugs went soo well.
Pro tip: you can find absolutely dreadful things about every president
Lincoln?
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever been in favor of making voters or jurors of n***oes, not of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry white white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality”
Wow. I didn’t know he was still alive.
You have a trivial understanding of how the world works. Please don’t run for office as you may have to deal with hard decisions and not great outcomes.
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life And I had to start again With just my children and my wife I'd thank my lucky stars To be livin' here today Cause the flag still stands for freedom And they cant take that away And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt, I love this land God bless the USA From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston And New York to L.A. Well, there's pride in every American heart And it's time we stand and say That I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt, I love this land God bless the USA. And I'm proud to be and American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt, I love this land God bless the USA

Davis to a tree! They will hang Jeff. Davis to a tree! As they march along! Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; As we are marching on!
Do you want us to piss on his grave?
No, just don't be a revisionist. We don't need to eulogize people who's careers are built on the graves of innocents.
