"John Hill" wrote in message ... On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 07:35:27 -0400, Harry Krause wrote: ush deserves all the "denigration" he gets. He's the dumbest president in the history of the United States, so far as I can tell, and on top of that, he's intellectually lazy, a liar, and grossly incompetent. Bush and his gang of thugs have a long and dishonorable history of dirty tricks. Just ask John McCain. You want photos of Bush with his hand in the cookie jar? I don't have them. But I also don't have photos of the electricity running through the wires in my house when I flick on a switch and the room lights up. And you continue proving the point with hearsay And still you have not answered the main thrust. Bush now , whatever he may, or may not have done in the past is a committed christian who has changed his life. Bush may indeed deserve to be committed. If, by Christian, you mean a follower of Jesus, Bush is no Christian. By any reasonable account, Jesus, the Prince of Peace, would not condone massive scale warfare perpetrated on trumped-up charges. Nor would Jesus condone ignoring the plight of the poor. Bush is not a Christian. He may follow the precepts of some simple-minded fundamentalist sect that claims to be "Christian," but it isn't. True Christians follow as closely as they can the path of Mother Teresa, not Attila the Hun. Whatever. see above And, as far as Bush "changing his life," if you are referring to his claim he has given up booze, drugs and skirt-chasing, well, we only have his word for that. We have no evidence to the contrary - after all he's no Bill Clinton There is no eveidence that Kerry has done the same. I don't recall John Kerry ever claiming to now being "holier than thou." But, then, as far as I know, Kerry isn't a booze-ingesting, coke-snorting skirt chaser... But he did "Report for duty" raising the spectre of his dubious service But Bush's past isn't the problem. It's his present. He is an unmitigated disaster for the United States and the world. I'd love to see a point by point reasoned argument of that pov, but doubt I will Yeah.....don;t hold your breathe......you won't even see it from the epitome of intelligence (really arrogance) the liebrals are running for president...

He served honorably in Vietnam, and he received a number of decorations you do not get gor attendance. It is Bush's military service that is dubious. -- We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah. What, me worry? |

Isn't that usually issued right away? |

What drugs are you fellas taking? Bush now , whatever he may, or may not have done in the past is a committed christian who has changed his life. But then the liberal response is always one of feelings, not reason or argument - as you demonstrate so very well. JH It's more like Bush shed his skin than changed his life. JH, how can you tout a "committed christian" and then ask for reason and argument? Reason and argument eliminate religion as a possibility. Tell me some of the reasons and arguments christians use to justify war and rampant killing, especially the pre-emptive sort. |

Well AIUI the officer who signed the commendation was unaware of many of the facts and the proper process was not followed. AFAIK he got decorations for what I would have considered a day at the office for my troops. JH It is Bush's military service that is dubious. |

If something is found to have been done in error it will call into question all of the awards presented prior to and subsequent to Kerry's award. That would be a very large mess that nobody wants. |

I'm not calling into question *any* awards, including Kerry's. In fact, I'm not questioning either of the two candidates military service, Bush or Kerry. |
