Bush Legacy

As the Bush Presidency has ended today, there are many interesting takes on the Legacy of the George W Bush Presidency.  Here are a few stories to date:

Bush Considered. America is a safer place thanks to his administration – Victor Davis Hanson

We would place Bush in the middle ranks of American presidents

Bush’s Real Sin Was Winning in Iraq

Bush’s Legacy: Conservatives Were Betrayed

I would have to agree that the Bush Presidency was a mixed bag.

Here are some positives of Mr Bush’s Presidency:

• Protecting American citizenry by his response to the 9/11 tragedy
• Cutting taxes for all American citizenry
• Appointment of two conservative justices on the Supreme Court
• Enforcing UN resolutions on Iraq

But there were negatives as well:

• McCain-Feingold bill restricting First Amendment rights
• Immigration
• TARP
• Failure of  compassionate conservatism
• Lack of getting his message out to the people

Now this leads to one question I would like to have answered is, ‘Will Bush Derangement Syndrome be cured?’ Probably not, but check this out:

Will Obama Inauguration End Bush Derangement Syndrome?

Let us remember that Mr Bush was never a leader of the conservative movement.

United States History of Racism Against Blacks

At Newsbusters today, as I read Scott Whitlock’s post about ABC Cites Only Democrats as the ‘Warriors’ in the Civil Rights Movement, I found this comment provided some historical prospective that our media elites neglect to provide to us.

United States History of Racism Against Blacks

The Republican Party was formed in 1854 specifically to oppose the Democrats, and for more than 150 years, they have done everything they could to block the Democrat agenda. In their abuses of power, they have even used threats and military violence to thwart the Democrat Party’s attempts to make this a progressive country. As you read the following Republican atrocities that span three centuries, imagine if you will, what a far different nation the United States would be had not the Republicans been around to block the Democrats’ efforts.

Insight for Today – 20 January 2009

I found today’s devotional from Insight for Living very helpful in today’s environment.  Keeping a positive attitude can be difficult at times, especially when times are tough as today.  In order to keep walking with the Lord, I am thankful for the teaching of Chuck Swindoll and his Insight for Living ministry.  His “Attitudes” quotation is one that everyone should always have around to remind us how our own attitudes really affect our lives.
