Turns Out George Bush Wasn't the Great Guy We All Thought He Was

Well that's a nice flip in roles but it is typically the left winger that hates EVERYTHING about America and sings it from the hills.

He never went against the American way of life. Just because you say it doesn't mean it is true.

When Lefties started getting called what they truly are... anti-American, they tried this tactic which has fallen flat each time.

^^^
I don't necessarily agree with your POV.

I am a Canadian that happens not to take a knee jerk anti-American position by default.
I like the States, its a great place to wander about.
Personally I have refused a green card twice, I like it there but I ain't moving .
But I do plan to visit a bunch and see some old friends and family there.
And hey, Canadian winters do truly suck.

I have family in the States and they are way, way left wing.
Vegan, University-prof, Birkenstock wearing types.
Make the Canadian NDP supporters look like pikers.
The hills of Oregon, Northern California and Washington are alive with lefties.
As a Canadian I realize that it is not for me to say, but I think those folks like to believe that they are not anti-American.
Because after all they are Americans.

As to me I believe most Canadians need to spend more time in the States before they run it down.
I think the lefties in the States probably out-lefty the Canadian lefties.
If that makes any sense.

A ton of folks in the States did not vote for Bush.

You should never pitch everyone in the same basket.
Canadians or Americans.

It seems to me as though you cannot make any logical reasoning for his actions. I guess it's too much for the liberal mind that military information is extremely confidential and is destroyed to prevent the risk of intelligence leaking out. Oh no! It must be a conspiracy. I mean, the things Bush, himself, in person could have done to terrorists! What a heartless tyrant!

And even more importantly, you condemn Bush for wiretapping during a time of war? Do you have no recollection of American history? How Japanese people were put in internment camps during the Second World War? The entire point is to secure the country's safety. If all you can extrapolate through George Bush's "horrendous presidency" are illegal wiretaps (lmao "illegal") then I suppose the media hasn't brainwashed you hard enough.

Yeah, I always had a feeling that Jarge isn't as stupid as he looks, sounds or acts.

That's much closer to the truth.

Obama is slighly right of Harper in virtually every category and the "true" right wing borders on reactionary in the US.

A Liberal in Canada would be akin to a "communist" in the US

"Within two weeks, government lawyers were already discussing ways to wiretap U.S. conversations without warrants…"

At least that is a good sign that he was not involved in the "9/11 Conspiracy" otherwise he would have had all this planned out ahead of time.
