Who said the others' weren't, though GW at least legislated healthy things for America and gave us justices that did no harm.
XIX, I think everything is lame to you. It's called wit and it relieves anger's stress levels.

[quote name='havok579257' post='1756902' date='Jan 20 2009, 06:58 PM']If this was a sin-auger-ation, then so were Bush jr.s, Clinton's and Bush sr.'s. And no, i did not, nor would ever vote for Obama, but to act like the POTUS's who came before him were such great men and he's evil is going overboard.[/quote]

Not everything is lame to me. Ad hominems are lame, useless name-calling is lame. It doesn't really get us anywhere. Wit is usually more effective when it's not done at the expense of others.

I do play the lame card a lot.

CORRECT. That [b]is [/b]what people are saying. Havok is trying to play it as if Bush isn't perfect, so he's basically the same as Obama. From a political standpoint, you don't have to think that Bush is great or even like him at all to see that he's much better than Obama.

I'm not G.K. Chesterton, but my plays on words had a meaning. I was having fun too. The message was infused into the joke.

Non-obsessive humor on a topic is a healthy release of stress levels due to anger, if it's not hateful to a group (not synonymous to negative). Minstrel shows were meant to be hateful. Barack the Magic Negro was not, as it was not questioning his smarts, but the term says he was useful to Democrats as a non-threatening black guy. It was, moreover, making fun of one of the Irrev.s (Jackson or Sharpton). George Carlin and Bill Maher are just hateful. Even if they were rightfully made angry by something, it gets less funny and sounds more like, as Californians might phrase it "negative vibes" (people might be sympathetic, but it's lost real humor quality, like when Carlin said, amongst other people, people he can do without include ones "who know a lot of prayers by heart"). That's ok to the sensitive liberals because it makes fun of ones they see as Nazis. Conservatives can't do that. This Fairness Doctrine proves it.

I'm sure G.K. must have somewhere used wit to make comments about people like the eugenicists.

No, i'm not trying to say Bush is as bad as Obama. Obama is so much worse. I am just showing people facts on here. People on these boards want to act like Obama is the devil and Bush was an angel. People excuse Bush for his many mistakes, errors and bad policies because he was anti-abortion, which by the way, as the Pope has said, is not the same thing as pro-life. pro-life is all life around the world. Bush was not pro-life. Was he anti-abortion? Absolutly. But he was not pro-life. He made excutive decisions that ending up getting a lot of people all over the world killed. That is not pro-life. Although people on these board seem to think anit-abortion means pro-life. Which it doesn't. Every life is sacred. Unborn children should not be killed and niether should men, women and CHILDREN.

Pro-life means every life. Every man, women and CHILD in American, Iraq, Afgan, China... all over the world. Pro-life is not just about abortions, its about preserving all life, because all life is precious.
