GEORGE W. BUSH: MOST VILIFIED POTUS SINCE NIXON


Nixon was POTUS for just 5 years.

In merely 5 years, Nixon did the following:
  • ended the draft
  • ended the American troop involvement in the Vietnam War and succeeded in "Vietnamizing" the South's defense against the North and the spread of communism
  • signed the Vietnam Peace Treaty - which the North violated during the Ford Administration
  • signed legislation creating the EPA
  • signed the Clean Air Clean Water Act
  • opened up China
  • invented detente and held the first successful nuclear arms reductions talks with the USSR and signed a nuclear arms treaty
  • invented federal revenue-sharing
  • tried wage & price controls
  • took the USA off the gold standard
  • saw to it that NASA landed a man on the moon
  • brought law & order back to US campuses
  • created SSI indexing
  • instigated the first widespread integration of schools in the south and the military - while opposing busing
  • endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment
  • founded OSHA
  • reorganized the Post Office as a private-government corporation
  • established the Consumer Product Safety Commission
  • invented the Legacy Plan - the FIRST affirmative Action program
  • tried to pass mandated private health insurance via businesses
  • airlifted weapons to Israel during the 1973 war - saving Israel
  • lowered the national speed limit to 55
  • and more...
THIS IS HARDLY THE RECORD OF A BAD PRESIDENT; IT IS THE RECORD OF A GREAT PRESIDENT.

IN MERELY 5 YEARS - FIVE DANGEROUS AND TUMULTUOUS YEARS - NIXON MADE MORE LASTING AND POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN LIFE - AND GLOBAL PEACE - THAN CLINTON DID IN EIGHT.

YET NIXON IS STILL VILIFIED.

AND THE LEFTIST DOMINATED MSM AND ACADEMY ARE DOING THE SAME THING TO GEORGE W. BUSH: VILIFYING HIM.

Bush has an outstanding record of achievement:
  • won two major wars and liberated two nations and 55 million people from islamofascism and establishing them as democratic republics
  • THE SURGE!
  • using diplomacy, liberated Lebanon from Syrian occupation
  • keeping America safe from terrorist attack
  • expanding Medicare to include pharmaceuticals
  • rebuilding our national defense and our military
  • undertook the largest reorganization of the USG, creating the DHS
  • cut taxes across the board for all taxpayers
  • passed the NCLB Act
  • increased domestic spending by more than any president since LBJ
  • isolated Arafat
  • as the first president to say the USA supported a Palestinian state for Arabs
  • successfully negotiated CAFTA - (twice!)
  • MADE TWO OUTSTANDING APPOINTMENTS TO THE SCOTUS
WINNING THE WARS AND KEEPING US SAFE ARE REASON ENOUGH TO THANK GEORGE W BUSH.

BUT - AS IT IS WITH NIXON - IT WILL TAKE A FEW DECADES BEFORE THE LEFTISTS RUNNING THE MSM AND THE ACADEMY SEE THE LIGHT.

TOO BAD.

I SAY: THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!
