Texas Legislature To Honor ‘Dynamic Texan’ Bush For Advancing American ‘Safety and Prosperity’
Texas Legislature To Honor ‘Dynamic Texan’ Bush For Advancing American ‘Safety and Prosperity’
While former President George W. Bush has kept a low profile since vacating the Oval Office, many of his closest allies have been working hard to “set the record straight” about a presidency recently ranked by historians as one of the worst ever.
Last month, all 20 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House backed a bill to rename a federal courthouse in Midland, TX in Bush’s name. Now, their colleagues in the state legislature plan to further the cause with a resolution calling Bush a “dynamic Texan” and honoring him for his dedication to “the safety and prosperity of his fellow citizens”:
The Texas House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a resolution this week that honors former President George W. Bush.
“The Bush administration met numerous foreign policy challenges, while also making constructive progress in relations with India and sustaining a solid relationship with China,” the resolution reads, according to the Austin Statesman. It adds that Bush “lived each day with the safety and prosperity of his fellow citizens foremost in his mind; he took a principled stance on a wide range of issues of great importance to every American, and his tireless efforts will not soon be forgotten.”
But it appears the Texas legislature hasn’t been paying much attention to the last eight years because regardless of what was “in his mind,” Bush actually failed to increase the “safety and prosperity” of Americans. Last December, a report by the congressionally-mandated Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism faulted Bush administration policies that have left America more susceptible than ever to a terror attack involving weapons of mass destruction:
Though U.S. policy and strategy have made progress, they have not kept pace with the growing risks. In the area of counterterrorism, our government has innovated and implemented new initiatives since 9/11, but its focus has been mainly limited to defense, intelligence, and homeland security programs and operations.
In addition, the U.S. was hardly prosperous under Bush, who “presided over the weakest eight-year span for the U.S. economy in decades.”
The measure honoring Bush is on the House’s “Congratulatory and Memorial Calendar” and is not expected to receive opposition. The House will also recognize former First Lady Laura Bush, as well as “the Blinn College Lady Buccaneers volleyball team” and “Bellville’s Bonnie Blum as Region Six teacher of the year.”

And the propping up of Bush legacy continues…What next? His mother telling us how wonderful a child he was? The guy wrecked the country, that does not deserve an honor; it deserves derision.
March 11th, 2009 at 2:23 pmI am in full support of such a resolution. I think it should be permanently rendered in bronze or platinum, in the form of a piece of art suitable for framing. My only hope, though, is that such art can be displayed in a federal prison cell.
March 11th, 2009 at 2:25 pmHow can we be “safe” when more than half the country is just one paycheck away from financial trouble? And “prosperous”? See point one.
PEACE
March 11th, 2009 at 2:27 pmSafety for the terrorists as we put all our focus on Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Safety for Bin Laden as we pulled our troops back after pin pointing Bin Ladens location in Tora Bora.
Prosperity for the wealthy, the elite, oil/energy companies, Halliburton, KBR, Bechtel, BlackwaterUSA, Dynacorps, The Carlyle Group…the average American citizen, not so much.

Shouldn’t that read — many of his closest allies have been working hard to spin the record until it resembles a strong grade of twine?
March 11th, 2009 at 2:28 pmWho would have thought the W. in Shrub’s middle name stood for “War Criminal”. They already named a freeway after Cheney’s stooge and now they are wasting time on this crap. I am convinced Texas should be spelled with 2 s’s. Here is another sterling example of crap from Texas. A brain dead judge that actually said, “We can’t give new trials to everyone who establishes, after conviction, that they might be innocent,” she later told the television news program “Frontline.” “We would have no finality in the criminal justice system, and finality is important.” She was too busy waiting on a repairman at home and refused to leave her office open long enough for a condemned man’s lawyer to file an appeal on the day of his execution.
March 11th, 2009 at 2:29 pmAt least the author of the article decreased the level of sarcasm present in that last phrase. We WILL NOT soon forget the economic depression and homelessness the george w. bush administration created.

“Who cares about dumb old Texas”
March 11th, 2009 at 2:31 pmOh the irony-The WAR CRIMINAL who let 911 happen on purpose, who lied about Iraq for oil, who was so corrupt at his job that he single handed destroyed our country for profits for his cronies…
….yeah, I guess he deserves an award, and a jail cell.
March 11th, 2009 at 2:32 pmThey’re kidding right – a courthouse? Named after GW Bush? What a joke.
Maybe a sewage treatment plant, but a courthouse? Hell no.

The Bush Administration and the Republican Party have both been a national disaster, a total disgrace. You cant favor the wealthiest, rape the middle class, explode the deficit, take the country to an illegal war, ignore the growing environmental crisis, and decimate our Constitution, and then call it “success”.

Yep, we definitely need to let Chuck Norris do whatever he’s planning on doing in Texas. Or give it back to Mexico — if they’ll have it.

March 11th, 2009 at 2:49 pmI’m beginning to realize Chuck Norris was right: Texas was never part of the United States…
…or earth, apparently.
March 11th, 2009 at 2:50 pmI’m told by reliable sources that George W. Bush is going to be on the three dollar bill soon.

March 11th, 2009 at 2:58 pmTexas Legislature To Honor ‘Dynamic Texan’ Bush For Advancing American ‘Safety and Prosperity’
Sure if you define Safety as failing to meet national security goals.
In recent days, several media figures, including MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and CNN’s Tom Foreman and Campbell Brown, have either uncritically reported or echoed Dick Cheney’s assertion that the Bush administration’s anti-terrorism policies have kept the United States safe. These media figures did not note that a 2008 GAO report found that the U.S. “has not met its national security goals to destroy terrorist threats and close the safe haven” in Pakistan, or that many CIA analysts reportedly believe Al Qaeda leaders have declined to attack the U.S. again for strategic reasons, not due to the Bush administration’s counterterrorism policies.

And Prosperity as giving the US its slowest cycle of economic growth since WWII and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Growth rates of GDP, investment, and other key economic indicators during the 2001-2007 expansion were below the average for other post-World War II economic expansions (see Figure 2). Growth in wages and salaries and non-residential investment was particularly slow relative to previous expansions, and, while the Administration boasts of its record on jobs, employment growth was weaker in the 2001-2007 period than in any previous post-World War II expansion.

No, wait a minute. That was supposed to be a prison cell with Bush’s name on it.

March 11th, 2009 at 3:00 pmAll republicans must pretend that bush was a success. Anything else would expose the fact that they are all failures. They have painted themselves into another corner. First rush, now this again.
Maybe they should just stop painting.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:00 pmthey should name one of the public toilets for Bush as a consolation prize…
March 11th, 2009 at 3:01 pmActually, that would not have been appropriate, as a sewage treatment plant cleans things up, and is very beneficial. You should have voted on a referendum to name just the sewage after Bush.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:02 pmNext up for the Texas legislature:

March 11th, 2009 at 3:03 pmBush was not born in Texas
March 11th, 2009 at 3:03 pmThey forgot about Sept 11, 2001.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:03 pmThey forgot about the Panic of 2008.
Those were some remarkable achievements too.
As the citizens of Texas have the highest unemployment rate in 19 years and still no help for the recovery from the storms the Texas Law Makers are honoring the man who made that happen. The laugh will be when George W. Bush is charged with War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity by the International Court. Yes a Court House named after a War Criminal as the people of Texas walk in the Court they will know Justice isn’t inside just pay to play sucks ups. No matter what they do are say a snake is still a snake and Bush is now depressed and soon he’ll need to be watched 24 hours a day. It must be hard for Bush to watch the World not alone Americans cheer President Obama while when Bush was President thousands of signs read War Criminal get out. Daddy Bush had to ask friends to let his idiot give a speech as all will laugh behind his back as the loser he is.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:03 pmOn the other hand… he’s already got a Global Depression named after him, it don’t get any bigger than that.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:04 pm.
Dear Texas Legislators,
Please name the redeeming quality to …

… Outing a covert CIA agent
… Spying on Americans, WARRANTLESSLY

March 11th, 2009 at 3:08 pmBETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
In order to gain the political power they’ve enjoyed over the last ten years, Republican moderates and Reagan conservatives made a pact with the devil (faux Christians and Limbaugh’s radical and pliable right wing misanthropes and bigots) to achieve the numbers they needed to defeat Democrats. It was a conscious political decision to manipulate and exploit ignorance and irrational fears in order to win elections rather than being intellectually and morally honest and lose them.
Today, those Republican moderates and Reagan conservatives are caught between wanting to disassociate themselves with and or casting out the devils they empowered, and the karmic reality that they don’t have the numbers to hold on to or regain power without accepting and even falsely “advocating” values that are dividing and destroying their party. The survival of today’s shrinking Republican Party has become so dependent on extremism, that they have no significant political power WITH or WITHOUT the support of America’s most dysfunctional lunatic fringe.
The idiom about choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea is certainly appropriate as Republicans are facing the dilemma of choosing between two equally undesirable alternatives that both result in Republican impotence in mainstream American politics. They are reaping the consequences of what they have sown. Deifying George W. Bush cost them their credibility. Sucking up to Rush Limbaugh is costing them their viability.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:16 pmhe took a principled stance on a wide range of issues of great importance to every American
He took a principled stance against the working people of his own country so as to better serve his corporate interests. You damn right those issues were of great importance to every American, they had to do the best they could to keep the ba$tard from destroying their lives.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:20 pm..Not to mention his name will be forever be linked to Katrina.
I’m really beginning to wonder if the character Bernard Posner in ‘Billy Jack’ wasn’t modeled directly on bush; it’s him to a ‘t.’
March 11th, 2009 at 3:22 pmThe FBI Building is named after J. Edgar Hoover. Those Texas legislators may want to re-think their proposal to name a public courthouse building after the worst president in history, who may be found guilty of war crimes later, if not sooner.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:22 pm…and after this pressing business, the Texas Legislature will debate a bill calling for the term “Fat” be replaced with “Texas sized” thereby placing a false sense of dignity on all of the Texas sized men and women of their state as well as the Texas sized heads of state.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:25 pmPROSPERITY ???
No wonder the rest of America HATES TEXAS !
No wonder the rest of the Planet HATES TEXAS!
It’s full of Texans!
Those of us who are NOT texans but – unfortunately – have to live here for now….. HATE TEXAS EVEN MORE!
March 11th, 2009 at 3:27 pm“Last month, all 20 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House backed a bill to rename a federal courthouse in Midland, TX in Bush’s name.”
lol And how much did Poppy Bush pay the Texas Repubs to rename a federal courthouse after the former War Criminal-in chief? Why not rename each jail cell after him.

Now that we have an educated President, David doesn’t have his comedy moment like he had with George W. Bush. There should be at lease a months worth of laughter with this Bush speech.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:35 pmI’m in okla and I have friends and family in Texas. There are good progressives in both states but our states overall are the pits. I mean Okla isn’t any better than Texas, we have inhofe and cobern.
That being said, we often exchange jokes about each others states. I will tell the texas jokes and let a Texan respond.
How many texans does it take to ean an armadillo?
It takes 3, one to eat and two to watch for cars.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:37 pmHow many texans does it take to eat an armidillo…..darned keyboard.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:39 pmProsperity?
First, under President Clinton there were 22,744,000 jobs created over eight years or 2,843,000 per year.
Under President Bush there were 1,950,000 jobs created over eight years or 243,750 per year.
So, there were 2,400,000 more jobs created per year under President Clinton than President Bush? That is OVER TWO MILLION MORE JOBS CREATED PER YEAR!!!
President Bush had the worst job creation record of any modern President despite tax cuts overwhelmingly benefiting the already wealthy that were supposed to stimulate job creation.
Somebody is messin’ with these Texan’s brains.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:41 pmI didn’t realize until I just looked at that “high functioning moron’s” picture how freaking glad I am the US is rid of him, not his legacy, but him!

March 11th, 2009 at 3:44 pmFred, I think we all knew what you intended to type — it gave me a smile as I have relatives in Texas also — thankfully, though, they still maintain their sanity (although they are a bit kooky on religion).

March 11th, 2009 at 4:55 pmXisithrus – food for thought I suppose…tho find it hard to believe that the murderers of 9/11 were motivated by the centuries-old theological debates attendant to exposition of Judeo/Christian/Islamic belief systems. As Churchill I think might have said were he watching that morning, sometimes a murderer is just a murderer. And of course it is a truism that one of the bright lines separating peace officers operating pursuant to the rule of law (an honorable occupation to which presumably even Religious Theocrats may aspire) and brainwashed thugs/fascists is the capacity to murder civilians.

March 11th, 2009 at 5:04 pmYes, Vowel Movement, I am all for finding out why our air defense failed on 9/11 and ensuring that that doesn’t happen again. I would also like to see the Bush administration tried for war crimes so that future administrations will be less likely to murder civilians in the name of a crime that was not sufficiently investigated.

Do you really think that if you act psychotic enough, terrorists won’t “get you”? You’re another of these Ernest T. Bass righties, huh? Go downtown and throw your rocks, so Andy can lock you up for a day or two to dry out.
Bush failed on 9/11. Failed to protect anyone. His failure to take anything seriously prior to that (Aug. 7 PDB) set the stage and opened the door.
March 11th, 2009 at 6:11 pmThe Texas legislature as dumb as they come. You would not believe some of these clowns if you meet them.
March 11th, 2009 at 6:16 pmGeorge Carlin had it right when he said that the best thing about all the executions in Texas was fewer Texans.
March 11th, 2009 at 7:16 pmWhen I was growing up in Texas, it was very Democratic. I wasn’t there during the Reagan years, but I guess that’s when Texas went red. Maybe it can change for the better, but I wouldn’t bank on it.
The slide downward was visible to the naked eye when Bush was governor. All this secession talk would embarrass me if I still thought of myself as a Texan.
Hope that court house is soon to be named after a convicted war criminal.
March 11th, 2009 at 7:52 pmYeah that would be too funny if they name the court building after Bush and then right after that he get’s locked up for war crimes! ROTFL!

Or maybe, the fountain water will be yellow-tinged, as people visiting Bush’s presidential library piss in it, not only giving the fountain a proper coloration, but also reminding anyone within smelling distance (or downwind) why George W. Bush is viewed as the worst president ever.

March 12th, 2009 at 1:26 am#83 Bowell Movement,
Please be aware this fact, Americans don’t like terrorists and terrorism…
… However, there is a fine line that the American Government MUST WALK and not cross.
If you are so willing to give up essential Liberties as interested to us by our Founders, then does that person truly appreciate the greatness to such Liberties?
In short, Bush threw the baby of Liberty out into the gutter when attempting to toss out the terrorists, NO?
Since when is usurping Constitutional Rights a good thing?
What kind of person rallies behind a form of government that sets out to undermine the American way of life?
Since when did TORTURE become something to defend?
Yep, us “liberals” are the problem… YES?
During the Bush Administration…
… I PROTESTED BUSH’S FAILURES!
Did you cheer him on?
But of course, I happen to think protecting the American way of life as defined in the Constitution is a good thing. I’m sorry we disagree, really. For when you succeed at supplanting those deeply rooted values with ANYTHING LESS< America ceeses! Then, who’s the looser?

March 12th, 2009 at 4:09 amAgain, as a Texan I apologize for the morons that we elect to badly govern our state. Governor Goodhair is a joke, our legislature is working on a non-existent problem, that of ILLEGAL voting so that everyone will have to have an id; all the while our idiot Attorney General spent millions of dollars investigating non-existent voter fraud. Members of the legislature have now introduced legislation to allow college students to carry weapons on campus. No, Mexico would not want us back.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:52 amI think Texans dreams of republicanism are coming to an end. Our urban areas are becoming more Democratic. The rural rednecks are now the problem.
I think that Texas should open up a cultural center for failed political leaders(Bush),has been actors(Chuck Norris) and aging zoned out rockers(Ted Nugent). Now there’s a trio Texas can be proud of.

It should read;
his tireless efforts to trash the concept of integrity, patriotism, democracy, the U.S. Constitution, the Country and the World will not soon be forgotten.

March 12th, 2009 at 2:44 pmWait, did Bush not inheret a recession? The economy and GDP says yes, and after that, 9 11? Regardless of who you blame for 9 11 it had a real effect on the economy, yet his tax cuts did 100% lead to new jobs. Our economies plight today is based upon the Republicans supporting the ‘92 Fair Trade Housing Act, that made 2 Million Americans, who could not afford a home in the first place, credit to buy that home. It took us 16 yrs to realize a new GDP of $4 trillion more new dollars, that never existed. It was borne on bad loans forced on banks by our govt. It took us 16 yrs to catch this, so bad, “innovative” loans caused the stock market and housing values to soar. As soon as we caught up to the new GDP, we are where we are. Our wealth was a fraud and now we are readjusting. Pres Bush lied about a lot of things, and was one of the more misguided leaders we have had, but his economic policy did help Americans, and although he should have acted to stem the bank issue we are in, it was not 100% his fault, maybe 60%. He did protect us though.
Honestly, let’s legalize marijuana, regulate it, tax it, and balance our budget. Then we can protect all people who love each other, and leave “marriage” up to the Churches, as it is a Sanctimonous Process. Also must protect a womans right to choose, but not abuse that as birth control. Let’s assist people who do not have an education and want to better their place in society. Pay for their education and help them better themselves, not enable them for having 8 kids.
I am sick of the party politics and want to see someone out there who is Pro American and pro American Citizens, not Pro Democrat or Liberal. Any thoughts?
