ADL Honors George W. Bush With Its Highest Award

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/ad..._mail_job=1555371_02082014&promo_code=166AC-1

George W. Bush should be praised and thanked by every Muslim in America and in "Palestine."

His policies worked to keep them as safe as they possibly could have been so made.

This is not a flame bait thread.

I am surprised it took this long to be given this honor. I knew a couple of Muslims back in the day, and they were very scared things might get out of hand

 

He freed fifty million Muslims, more people than any other leader in history. Once politician ranting and partisanship has run it's course this fact will become the historical evidence. Enough to garner him a position on Mount Rushmore and, possibly an Earth Holiday known formally as 'Freedom Day" which will be held on his birthday and informally as 'Bushmas' as songs of freedom and his exploits will be sung by children and adults alike and these will soon be known as 'Bushmas Carols.''

His bravery in volunteering to serve his nation in Vietnam and risk his presidency to enforce UN Ceasefires and in the process freeing fifty million people and all the billions of their descendants clearly makes him the man of the century.

Of course it is not. Only those disturbed and afflicted with the Liberal affliction known as BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) could find an alter verse than reality which you and I speak of.

 

A point of clarification?

I don't think he volunteered to serve in Viet Nam. He volunteered to serve in the Air National Guard flying interceptors. This got him out of having to serve overseas.

But it was sufficiently commendable that he served at all. Canada was the option hundreds of thousands(?) took.

He didn't go to Canada to escape the draft.

He raised his hand, took the oath and learned to fly fighter jets.

And if he'd been called up to go active and fly combat missions in S.E. Asia one has to believe he'd have gone and faced the deadly AA fire and SAM missiles like so many did.

And too many who never returned or came back and were less whole than when they first got there.

 

Yup.

Not only did he stage a number of highly publicized events where he 'endorsed' Islam and/or notable Muslims, but he also initiated the Patriot Act.

It was just this side of the line of being considered TOO invasive and lots of folks maintain it crossed the line.

But with a really aggressive law like that, one which was well known to all, it pacified vigilantes enough to minimize the numbers of attacks on innocent American Muslims, some of which actually did occur.

They reasoned GWB was doing a sufficiently good job of keeping tabs on the possible sleepers living here undercover. Which meant they didn't feel the need to take the law into their own hands.

GWB saved countless numbers of American Muslims and helped prevent the Jihadists around the world from prompting some imam somewhere to create a fatwa to go to America and defend the Muslims who were being persecuted by the Great Satananic "rednecks" and the law was doing nothing to stop the attacks.

Yeah, George W. did that.

 

Wow, that's a stretch...GW spent most of his military career defending the bars of Abilene Texas. I believe his record was less then stellar in the armed forces and his father had influence in getting him off the hook.

 

Where are these 50 million "free" Muslims? Are they the Iraqis who have a corrupt, dysfunctional excuse for a government, who have to run the risk of getting blown up or shot on a daily basis because the vaccuum left by Bush's inept and disastrous war allowed warring religious fundamentalists to run riot in Iraq? Those "free" Muslims? You're deluding yourself.

I am DEEPLY grateful to you for bringing this information to light.

It deserves to be posted for all to readily see.

"George W. Bush, the alleged slacker, had in fact volunteered to go to Vietnam."

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/34541_Rathergate-_Mapes_Knew_Bush_Volunteered_for_Vietnam

 

He never went, though, did he? Not much to crow about, frankly, and nothing to be "deeply grateful" for either. It's like bragging that you didn't get a job!

 

It seems people like you (Libs or immature children or M.E. types or...?) have a tough time with certain concepts.

For example, the WMD's may not have existed (my apologies to AboveAlpha who said he watched them being transported out of Iraq and into Syria, and Godspeed to him!) but GWB didn't know for sure if they did or not so he had to assume they did exist.

Some of you and your ilk (whatever your ilkiness actually is) have a hard time understanding that concept. And it appears you have a tough time with this one as well.

When you volunteer to go to a war zone to fight you have done all you can do. The decision to be sent is someone else's. He did not serve in Viet Nam but volunteering to go is as brave as actually going because if his request had been granted he would have served.

No fault of GWB's.

Maybe this will make sense to you.

When the NASA astronauts were preparing for their space missions they were treated like heroes even though they hadn't gone into space yet.

The reason why is because just volunteering to do such a thing is the most courageous thing they could do toward that eventuality.

They did all they could do to be shot into space. The rest of the actions depended on others.

And right before they took the final ride up the elevator to their space capsule or shuttle they knew and the onlookers all knew they MIGHT not ever come back from the trip alive.

And we have, tragically, seen that this was the case for two of the Space Shuttle crews.

So, their heroism was in their volunteering.

The act of going into space itself was secondary.

Oh, and here is one more example because I know it must be hard for you to be hardwired as you are.

When graduates of the Police Academy are sworn in they are afforded a great deal of respect and admiration not because of what they have done but because of what they have volunteered to do.

Now, if that doesn't make sense to you, well, that would be typical of your ilk.

 

Volunteering is heroic? You really have a strange concept of heroism. An act of heroism involves a great deal more than putting an 'x' in a box, and genuine heroes are lauded appropriately. Bush did nothing and deserves nothing. The word 'hero' is sadly diluted and becoming meaningless. We award the Victoria Cross for heroism; America awards the Congressional Medal of Honor. You don't get a medal for volunteering.

Here, because you evidently need a reminder, is the definition of heroism. Oddly enough volunteering to be a cop or fly an aeroplane doesn't figure. Being 'treated as a hero' is far removed from performing an act of heroism. Seems to me that these days you only have to put on a uniform and you're a 'hero'.

What a load of crap.

 

Well, George W. Bush volunteered to go to Viet Nam and serve his country.

He did not go to Canada to escape the draft. And he did what he could do to serve in a combat zone. He volunteered.

And you and your goombas may not agree but it's far different than the lie you and your bed fellows have been spreading like an STD on these boards.

 

It would be they who are, as a people free to decide their own course and fate.

You really don't get it, do you? Had Bush actually gone to Vietnam and fought, risked his life facing almost certain death in order that others might live, then you might have a point. Bush didn't. He sat on his arse in America. If you consider that to be heroic then you have a serious comprehension issue.
This actions of man is how we define heroism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_Beharry
Tell me what Bush did for you to call him a hero-aside from volunteering, of course...because putting an 'x' in a box is evidently, in your opinion, a true mark of bravery, valour and selfless devotion to the lives of your comrades.

 

Explain how having a system of government totally alien to you, and imposed on you by a belligerent invader, is an example of deciding your own fate. I really need to hear this
"You are now a 'democracy' because that's what we have decided you must be, and is what we have decided is in your best interests". Does that sound like democracy to you?

 

Grow up, won't you?

Childish argument.

There are degrees or categories of heroism.

Sports hero.

Fireman and Policeman on 9/11.

Military hero.

'Heroic' medical efforts to save a life.

A school child who calls his Father his hero.

Volunteering to place oneself in harm's way for his country.

The mommie cat who suffered disfiguring 3rd degree burns going into a burning building to rescue her kittens.

The man who caught an infant falling several stories from an open apartment window.

And ME having to endure your immaturity while educating you.

Get it now?

Or are you actually hopeless?

 

Bush, receiving an award for actually having done something. Obama receiving a Nobel Prize for not being Bush. Result . . . The WARMONGERING Nobel Prize winning Obama is gradually rehabilitating G.W. Bush's MSM savaged image simply by being such a terribly baaaaaaaad president.

Hmmmmm . . . perhaps when Obama's presidency is finished and he slimes out of the Oval Office at the end of 2016 the GOP should give him an award for managing to make G.W. Bush look damn good in comparison. Now THAT would be . . . awesome . . .

 

God made man free.

Man makes men slaves.

Man is born free.

Man has to be forced to submit to subjugation.

Because some men have become subjugated you believe they should never be free.

Instead of "12 Years a Slave," your movie would be called, "For The Rest of Your Life a Slave With no Possibility of Freedom...Ever!"

I think I understand.

 

Indeed it would be!

 

And yet Bush served more time than Clinton and Obama combined!!

 

And that qualifies him for hero status? Like I said earlier, 'hero' has been dumbed down to such an extent that it has lost its meaning, and merely putting on a uniform or kicking a football makes you one.
Genuine heroes are a rare breed which is why they are recognised with exemplary, and rarely given, awards.
Next someone will be calling bush a heroic 'warrior' despite him never having lifted a finger in combat. I guess I'm lucky that I'm aware of the American propensity for bombast and hysterical hyperbole.
