And for you... Your questions are not only rhetorical but stupid. It is like asking you how many times a week do you beat your wife. That is, if you have one. I thought we were talking about Bush. In any case no country is perfect and any excesses you mention here are done by servants who usually get caught either soon or by history. That is no reason to assume that a country is bad and deserves to be written off.
On the contrary, Bush is looking better all the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff" <[email protected]> To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 9:30 PM Subject: RE: [OT] "America Betrayed President Bush" And for you... How many constitutions have you ignored (warrantless tapping)? How many countries did u invade for false reasoning? How many men did u deny the right to due process? How many global recessions (and near depression) did you cause? How many elections did you cheat in? Bush will be judged harshly by history and nearly everybody (except you ) understands it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Publius Maximus Sent: Thursday, 21 January 2010 12:52 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] "America Betrayed President Bush" On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 8:40 PM, Geoff <[email protected]> wrote: > Actually, I am quite capable of having my own opinions AND expressing them > with brevity (you should try it some time). Brevity I concede ... mainly because you dodge questions, ignore factual refutations, and repeat the same stupid arguments. To wit, "You're a paranoid psychotic" "Nobody on earth thinks like you." "You are an ignorant boob." "OK, you are a well-read and learned ignorant boob." "The majority is on my side." "Bush is an idiot." But independent thought (I won't even mention wit) you have demonstrated precisely ... none. > Bush is/was/remains an idiot. And he's still demonstrably smarter than you, and has done more than you'll ever be remembered for. How many dictators have you overthrown? To how many Muslim men (and women!) have you given the right to vote? How much aid to HIV victims in Africa have you given? We know the answer to all these questions. - Publius > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Publius Maximus > Sent: Thursday, 21 January 2010 8:41 AM > To: ProFox Email List > Subject: Re: [OT] "America Betrayed President Bush" > > On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 4:28 PM, geoff <[email protected]> wrote: >> Your fawning admiration for one of the biggest idiots of our time is > truly >> vomitous. > > Please.
