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.

 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!

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      By Cu Chulainn · Posted

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.

      JoeBama Administration Gives NGOs Millions To Facilitate Immigration Invasion!

      By Reagan · Posted

      @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
