Geoff, you have failed at the challenge I posted. You are still whining.

All you are doing is blurting our your personal opinions and becoming upset because no one takes your opinions seriously. You aren't convincing Geoff. Neither you or Ms Hawkette or Ichy or Ish or the other propaganda pets are convincing because none of your opinions are supported by FACTS.

It is perfectly acceptable to belittle George W. Bush because he has humiliated himself, the office and the country with his actions. It is very patriotic to treat the person in the office with utter disdain. In fact, it's quite the tradition.

----------
Geoff, instead of whining, why don't you state your position on an appropriate subject and defend it against all comers until you have defeated their arguments and convinced them that you are correct.

Support your arguments with facts, figures, links, graphs, maps, anecdotes, quips, trivia, etc. and defend it well.

That's a challenge. I don't think you're up to it.

Prove me wrong
----------

We've never had a President that deserved belittling more than George W. Bush. He's the LEAST President we've EVER had. A truly small and repugnant personality. The worst President in our history, one who's done incalculable harm to America.

I'll belittle him until he's gone, and for some time thereafter. To me, he'll ALWAYS be the chimp Nero.

I'm with you. The 43rd best president of all time deserves better than that.

...you're also belittling the office, IMO the vast majority of Americans including myself take offense at this, putting it mildly.


IMO the rhetoric you describe belittles the people who use it most of all.

<belittling the office> Any President that would promote torture after dragging America into a ruinous war based on a flimsy, falsified pretext at a time when we face real and serious national security issues that have gone completely mishandled has done more damage to his office than all the bloggers and thread posters in the world could ever do no matter how hard they tried.
