George Bush Is a Hero
Oh boy. Someone is calling Bush a hero. Isn't it early to do that ? History has shown us that some of the most hated presidents are viewed through history as heros. I suspect Bush will join this list. Of course today no one wants to admit this.
No, the current spitting cobras will crawl out and hiss and spit and slither and threaten. Time will prove their antics meaningless of course.
George Bush Is a Hero
Edward I. Koch
Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006
President George W. Bush, vilified by many, supported by some, is a hero to me.
George Bush is a hero to me because he has courage. The president does what he believes to be in the best interest of the United States. He sticks with his beliefs, no matter how intense the criticism and invective that are directed against him every day.
The enormous defeat President Bush suffered with the loss of both Houses of Congress has not caused him to retreat from his position that the U.S. alone now stands between a radical Islamic takeover of many of the world's governments in the next 30 or more years. If that takeover occurs, we will suffer an enslavement that will threaten our personal freedoms and take much of the world back into the Dark Ages.
Our major ally in this war against the forces of darkness, Great Britain, is still being led by an outstanding prime minister, Tony Blair. However, Blair will soon be set out to pasture, which means Great Britain will leave our side and join France, Germany, Spain, and other countries that foolishly believe they can tame the wolf at the door and convert it into a domestic pet that will live in peace with them.
These dreamers naively believe that if we feed the wolves what they demand, they will go away. But that won't happen.
Appeasement never works. The wolves always come back for more and more, and when we have nothing left to give, they come for us.
Radical Islamists are very much aware that we have shown fear. For example, we have allowed the people of Darfur dark skinned Africans to be terrorized, killed, raped, and taken as slaves by the supporters of the Sudanese government, radical Islamists.
The countries surrounding Iraq Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan made up of Sunni Arabs, know that for them, the wolves who are the radical Shia are already at their door. The New York Times reported on Dec. 13, 2006, "Saudi Arabia has told the Bush administration that it might provide financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in any war against Iraq's Shiites if the United States pulls its troops out of Iraq, according to American and Arab diplomats . . .
"The Saudis have argued strenuously against an American pullout from Iraq, citing fears that Iraq's minority Sunni Arab population would be massacred . . . The Bush administration is also working on a way to form a coalition of Sunni Arab nations and a moderate Shiite government in Iraq, along with the United States and Europe, to stand against Iran, Syria and the terrorists."
Much more here that I'm sure few are interested in reading.

Poll: Bush Top 'Good Guy' and 'Bad Guy'
Bad guy of 2006: President Bush. Good guy of 2006: President Bush.
When people were asked in an AP-AOL News poll to name the villains and heroes of the year, Bush topped both lists, in a sign of these polarized times.
Among entertainment celebrities, Oprah Winfrey edged out Michael J. Fox as the best celebrity role model while Britney Spears outdistanced Paris Hilton as the worst.

I can think of a lot of things to call Bush, but hero does not seem to be one of them.

I guess it would depend on one's standards. Bush as hero is truly the bottom of the common sense barrel of hero worship.

Top of both lists? Very interesting. I wonder what percent of the votes he got on each list.

Cherry picking one line out of a peice of a writing and making a smartass comment on THAT ONE line does nothing for ME. If it does something for YOU that's cool I guess
