Grace and class, to the end.

I'm proud to have called this man our president for 8 years.




 
 
 
 
 
Bush is welcomed home to Texas
 

WACO, Texas (AP) - After an enthusiastic welcome from thousands of cheering Texans in two cities, George W. Bush spent his first night out of office at his Crawford ranch.

Before flying in a helicopter to his 1,600-acre ranch, the former president told about 3,000 well-wishers gathered at a Waco airfield Tuesday night that he was glad to be back in Texas.

"It is a great day because we got to come home once and for all," Bush, with former first lady Laura Bush at his side, said as the crowd cheered.


_____



A couple of my favorite quotes form the story:

He lauded those who helped throughout his presidency and defended decisions he said some thought unwise.

"I never took an opinion poll to tell me what to think," Bush said.


and:
"She filled the White House with warmth and my life with joy," Bush said. "History will show that she was a fabulous first lady."

I've have had many, many--MANY--policy disagreements with Bush over the years but he has cared about America's security first and every once and a while he got the right call vis-a-vis taxes.

And he as always been a statesman.

I can't say too much about George Bush--his integrity, his principles, his courage, his steadfast fortitude when faced with so many who live just to Hate.

I'd have gotten the pilot of Marine One to fly me over the crowd and given them a shot of my bare-naked ass.  :evillaugh:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

And all the fags in the crowd would have "saluted"....they've never had a real man before.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

What amazes me most is that he never took revenge against his critics, and never even expressed a desire to do so. Personally, I would have been angry a thousand times over.
