What Will History Say of Bush? He’s The Worst Ever
Good historical overview and synopsis from Eric Foner, one of the better historians around…
Ever since 1948, when Harvard professor Arthur Schlesinger Sr. asked 55 historians to rank U.S. presidents on a scale from “great” to “failure,” such polls have been a favorite pastime for those of us who study the American past.
Changes in presidential rankings reflect shifts in how we view history. When the first poll was taken, the Reconstruction era that followed the Civil War was regarded as a time of corruption and misgovernment caused by granting black men the right to vote. As a result, President Andrew Johnson, a fervent white supremacist who opposed efforts to extend basic rights to former slaves, was rated “near great.” Today, by contrast, scholars consider Reconstruction a flawed but noble attempt to build an interracial democracy from the ashes of slavery — and Johnson a flat failure.
More often, however, the rankings display a remarkable year-to-year uniformity. Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt always figure in the “great” category. Most presidents are ranked “average” or, to put it less charitably, mediocre. Johnson, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Richard M. Nixon occupy the bottom rung, and now President Bush is a leading contender to join them. A look at history, as well as Bush’s policies, explains why.

My opinion of Bush is as follows….
Bush & his gang, has turned the greatest country in this world into the most horrible nightmare our nation can imagine.
Liar
A murderer of USA citizens 911, didn’t cover disasters in America. He daily murders our children in the military, innocent men, women and children in other countries, sacraficing them for his own greed, lies and deception….and he’s looking for more war.
Tell congress to STOP ALL FUNDING FOR WAR…
Deceptive
Doing away with our freedom and rights, our constitution.
Changing the name of our Nation
Opened our boarders while pretending to close them
Opened our air space, making it unsafe for USA citizens
Plans to unite the world under the UN, which does away with all our rights & freedoms
Plans to place us under a dictatorship as slaves, obey or die a horrible death Bush and his mafia passed a law which is to force the Real ID act on us in 2008, to be numbered as slaves to their dictatorship. This law must be repealed along with the patriot act. Bush is training our military in Germany to kill americans at his command under Marshall Law. Bush Illegally taps USA citizens email and phone conversations, terrorists don’t use hard line phones.. That’s how stupid he believes American people are. They Place fear over the usa citizens to gain control…
Chavez says it all on his google video…no, I think there are no words horrible enough to express Bush’s insanity, which is really murdererous cruelty, all for greed. Bush and his gang, or mafia if you will, the CFA, a private club which is unconstitutionally working in our government, some members of CIA, FBI, Main Stream Media that has kept the truth from us, some judges and some congressmen should all be investigated and hung for high treason….
USA should be removed from the UN immediately.
All properties & monies from these wealthiest people in the world, (mafia) in these particular private clubs (these so called clubs are known), and their families should be confiscated and returned to the people they stole it from. The British government along with the so called bankers secret clubs or should I say mafia, all should be hunted down and charged with conspiracy and high treason.
Where does that place the greedy corporations that make their own laws?
Our gold should be restored along with a decent congress to do its job of printing our money as our constitution states. This frees us of national debt, we owe nothing to thieves!
Federal Reserve, has no right to print money for America, this is unconstitutional, another private club…
While I’m at it: why are American citizens paying taxes on our labor, this is illegal, there is no law that states we must pay taxes on our labor…follow the money… Just more deception…
The IRS is illegally taxing our labor, this must be stopped! This money, every penny of it goes into the pockets of those that are so called private clubs, the mafia, banks, the shadow government running our government. These private clubs are the ones who have brought about all the wars in history to line their pockets.
All judges that are corrupt according to their pass trials and remarks such as the government is above the law or have not followed the constitution in the pass, should also stand trial as conspirators…right along with the rest of them….and that’s most judges….
Concerning Supreme court judges, a new law needs to be put into place where they can not hold office anymore than 2 years, and can easily be stripped of office if not following the constitution.
Why are our children being taken away from their parents for no apparent reason…Jeb Bush, the patriot act…Bush’s entire family should be hung…all as conspirators…
All parents everywhere should form a school in their community in their own homes and hire a teacher of which they can share expenses for or home school their own children. But definitely get them out of public schools, as the public schools are in love with money from the Federal government and will throw your child in the gutter, force them to take shots and ect, for the love of Federal money…I heard lately that they are now trying to stop home schooling…
Do you parents know what happens to your children when they take them away? Most are horribly abused…Social workers in these government cases are part of the problem as well as the corrupt judges…who know and refuse to stop the abuse, after all its the Fed government money they are after, who cares about the child…Not Them!
Now it’s down to a 6 year old child who wasn’t being taught how to have sex with gays and straights, as a reason to remove the child from the parents…are yours next, just because they weren’t sick and there was no need to take them in to see the doctor? Your no safer than these parents! Stand Up!
Who runs our government, apparently not us, who should be running it, follow the money and any fool can see what’s going on…
So let’s stop pussy footing around and start telling it like it is….Demand congress impeach Bush, his administration and all those involved in this conspiracy to destroy our constitution, and charge them with murder, they knew they were lying, and there is sufficient proof.
As citizens, we are responsible for allowing this to continue…Every community should start organizing and making plans to put our constitution and government back where it belongs out of the control of these world wide murderers. They need to be hunted down, investigated, tried and hung, or placed on chain gangs, every last one of them, until none are left.
Start emailing, calling your state officials, and I don’t mean once and forget it, but do it as your duty daily until action is taken. Demand them to STOP FUNDING THE WAR AND to impeach Bush, and his administration. Demand to Choose people not brought in as their canidates, but those from your communities from each state. Let each state have its own authority as part of America. Allow no Federal black mail…start a petition, pull your state out of Bush’s control…wear T-Shirts that say Impeach Bush and his gang, Do Something….
It’s time to end their murdering and tyranny!
