TMR Stands By Those That Have Stood By TMR

While having a debate with a reader about George W. Bush, he gasped:

I've gotta say, I spend time on political message boards and the comments sections of news sites and partisan sites on both sides of the aisle, and there have been very few times I've overlapped with [a] level of adulation of the previous President that you express -- "love him as a great leader" and "one of the greatest leaders we've ever had" ... it's hard to believe you're serious.



Honestly I don't recall any, but there must have been an example or two stated without intentional irony. I just don't remember them specifically.

To which we say, well, there's not one iota of irony involved here. But we do understand the surprise, because - we're sure - most TMR readers aren't aware that (with our having served in the military) we've probably got a lot more history with the Bush family than most can imagine,...

Good peeps.

Folks, even if we go nuclear (which we should) we're not getting off of foreign oil, and we're not going to run out of oil either; we're not going organic, nor are we going to "save the planet" (because it doesn't need "saving" - and whatever arrogant NewAge hippie came up with that one was really smoking some good shit) all we're, eventually, going to do is grow the fuck up, and come to our senses, about the state of the world and it's resources - which ain't bad:

Except in the minds of a bunch of delusionally apocalyptic NewAgers, who don't mind wasting said resources, trying to avoid their paranoid daydreams.

Our one seriously pressing problem is that we've ever listened to them in the first place, and continue to do so.

Get over doing that and the planet - meaning those of us living on Earth: not "Gaia" - just might stand a fighting chance.

Hat Tip: Althouse

P.J. O'Rourke On Brains, Trains, And Automobiles

Quite a good talk on what's important, what's not, and how people get the two confused. Watch the whole thing.

"After 30 days, the Gallup Poll shows Obama has about the same approval rating as did George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, the man whose eight years in office the Illinois senator so often denounced as destructive during the recent campaign."

-- Andrew Malcolm, watching the smoke dissipate - as the cult's mirror cracks - after one fucking month, in The Los Angeles Times.

"Pelosi and Reid called Bush's budgets 'dangerous' and 'unpatriotic,' but with Obama, they've changed their tune."

-- Byron York, standing the Democrat's ruthless "say anything for a win" hypocrisy and lies up, front and center, in The DC Examiner.

"I don’t look back on those things and regret them, but I’m willing to rethink them. And there are many things which I’m going to rethink."

-- Bill Ayers, the domestic terrorist - who helped Barack Obama's climb to power - admitting he's everything Sarah Palin said he was, on Don Surber.com.

"Here's what's going on dude: you're not actually allowed to take over buildings. Believe it or not.

(Also: 'We need to look at the situation, the hierarchy, the power relationship here.' Okay: you're surrounded by cops.)"

-- Hamilton Nolan, acknowledging a major tool of 60's protesters - and the delusions that go with them - have always been flat-out wrong, on Gawker.

"To be candid, the screwed-up, shared California mentality,...."

-- Victor Davis Hanson, on who and what's to blame - and, though he didn't say "NewAge cultism" (using "screwed-up" and "shared" instead) he might as well have - while writing for Pajamas Media.

Ooh - Stop - Somebody's Singing Our Song!!!

"'This is George Orwell. This is the ‘Germans are the master race. The Jews are the scum of the earth.’ It’s that kind of propaganda. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Every time you exhale, you exhale air that has 4 percent carbon dioxide. To say that that’s a pollutant just boggles my mind. What used to be science has turned into a cult."

-- William Happer, who "served as director of the Office of Energy Research in the U.S. Department of Energy under President George H.W. Bush and was subsequently fired by Vice President Al Gore, reportedly for his refusal to support Gore’s views on climate change," in The Daily Princetonian.

And Laura's Going To Lead All The Libraries,...

"George W. Bush and/or George H.W. Bush bought hundreds of thousands of acres in Paraguay, adjoining a similar spread owned by the Unification Church's Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Both massive parcels are hidden within a remote South American wilderness atop the world's biggest freshwater aquifer adjoining a secret U.S. military airbase. Oh, and there's a special non-extradition law to protect the Bush/Moon families as they enjoy their old age and run drug/weapons smuggling rings, safe from American justice. And they'll own all the drinking water in the world, or something."

-- Ken Layne, describing the "greatest weirdest Bush conspiracy" on Scoop.com.

Nobody mentions Laura Bush very much - because she's no Hillary Clinton - so, in honor of the First Lady, I'd like to add this other arresting photo I found:
