I believe that would be called highly selective respect.  Is it my imagination or are you complimenting an individual you previously regarded as a dunce?

It would be your imagination if you didn’t read or understand the second sentence of my two sentence post. 

And for the record, it is not the first time I have been complimentary of W (and his father) on this board.  I believe both to be fine Christian men.

Is more government the solution for said problems?

 No more than answering a question with another question.  My "off topic" question was a response to the emboldened below which is part of this thread.

I sure do miss Bush. He was a leader. In all honesty, his message reflects problems created on all sides

Couldn’t agree more.

The only thing about Bush that bothered me a little was he said nucular instead of nuclear, but he seemed like such an approachable man that I gave him a pass on that one.

I would also say he had the best sense of humor of any President I can recall.  Since he’s been out of office it is even more apparent, maybe because he appears more relaxed in interviews.  The mispronunciations (the one you stated most notably) was actually kind of an endearing quality to me as it reminded me of not my mother and wife, each of whom seem to take joy in mispronouncing certain words.

Just think, the man receiving all the praise today was blamed for everything that went wrong during his term and also for everything that went wrong in his successors first term.

The one that I think is the most off the wall is what happened in NOLA.  The incompetent mayor, Ray "chocolate city" Nagin, blaming his inadequacies on Bush.  We see where this fool ended up.

Prior Prez and Trumps opponent are responsible for Trump being elected.

That honor is given to Hillary and her baggage. And in order to get to Hillary he beat out over a dozen of the best the republicans had to offer. So between republicans and dems, Trump was the best the United States had to offer. smgdh.

I half-way agree, and obviously half-way disagree. I agree that part of the "honor" should go to Hillary and her baggage, but the more significant contribution should be laid at the feet of the mainstream media that unfairly demonized Bush and unfairly patronized Obama. The American voter was finally motivated to say enough is enough.

The economy and Dick Haliburtins war didn't help Bush

I've been working with him to increase his understanding of how things work politically.  He's come a long way.  Dropped out of the ACLU.  Learned to say conservative with only a moderate increase in bp, and now has a "What, me worry?" sticker on his car.

 

All joking aside, one of the very few liberals I can sit and discuss politics with in normal discourse.  We don't agree a lot, but respect each other's views.  I have family (in-laws) that I can't do that with.  How we all should be, but very few are.

I will now wait with bated breath for you to post a video and apology of/to Ted Cruz :) 

Don’t hold your breath, unless you’ve recently increased your cardio routine!  But don’t worry, there are few whor.... err, congressmen on either of side of the aisle I feel are owed an apology!

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
