Bye.

Are you sure? There have numerous false reports in the past. Please drive a wooden stake through his heart to make sure.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Reminds me of an old song.
What was it? Something about judgement or...something spreading it's wings?
Oh yes..yes, of course.
About the 5:00 mark.

Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died. George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens.

Anyone who knows the history of George H Bush understands why he was an evil human being.



Let's go down just some of the list (feel free to contribute):


- He pushed gun control on "assault weapons"
- He launched illegal military interventions in to Panama and the Persian Gulf killing thousands of people.
- He lied about taxation (which helped cost him the election)
- Thus he gave is the Clintons
- He actively fought against conservatives and smaller government
- He actively supported intervention in South America and Somolia.
- He was deeply involved in the treasonous Iran-Contra scandal
- He began plotting against Reagan the day he was sworn in as VP.
- He expanded the federal government's role in education
- He pushed NAFTA
- He was the Ambassador to the UN
- He was head of the CIA
- He was a member of Skull and Bones
- Some speculate he was involved in the JFK assassination, the John Hinckley Jr. plot, and that his family helped finance the Nazis.

Credit goes to leader Reagan who made that historic call to George HW Bush to be his VP. George W Bush had rightly said that without Reagan's foresight to pick his dad as VP, there would not have been a President GHW Bush or President George W Bush. American voters, particularly Republican voters, deserve tremendous credit also for standing by them year and year and giving them opportunity to serve America over two generations. Trump's foresight to pick Pence as VP seems no less stellar than Reagan's choice for light of conservatism to carry on long after he's gone.


Trump Offers Praise for Bush and Will Attend the Funeral

Mr. Trump plans to call former President George W. Bush, the son of the 41st commander in chief, to offer his condolences, the White House said in a statement. A state funeral is being arranged and Mr. Trump will designate Wednesday as a national day of mourning. Mr. Trump and the first lady will attend the funeral at the Washington National Cathedral.
“President George H.W. Bush led a long, successful and beautiful life,” Mr. Trump wrote (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1068826073775964160) on Twitter on Saturday morning. “Whenever I was with him I saw his absolute joy for life and true pride in his family. His accomplishments were great from beginning to end. He was a truly wonderful man and will be missed by all!”

Just Friday, Mr. Trump signed a new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement first negotiated by Mr. Bush, which he disparaged as bad for the United States. “The terrible NAFTA will soon be gone,” he wrote on Twitter (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1068516326010830849).
For his part, Mr. Bush was never impressed by Mr. Trump. “I don’t like him,” Mr. Bush told the historian Mark K. Updegrove (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/04/us/politics/bush-president-book-trump.html?module=inline) in May 2016. “I don’t know much about him, but I know he’s a blowhard. And I’m not too excited about him being a leader.” Rather than being motivated by public service, Mr. Bush said, Mr. Trump seemed to be driven by “a certain ego.”
But he recognized that Mr. Trump was at the forefront of change. “I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president,” he told Mr. Updegrove, who later wrote “The Last Republicans” about Mr. Bush and George W. Bush.

A spotlight on the people reshaping our politics. A conversation with voters across the country. And a guiding hand through the endless news cycle, telling you what you really need to know.

The current president sought to put that history aside on Saturday, even citing Mr. Bush’s “thousand points of light” in the written statement that he authorized aides to release in the immediate hours after the former president’s death.
“President Bush inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service — to be, in his words, ‘a thousand points of light’ illuminating the greatness, hope, and opportunity of America to the world,” the statement said.

REAGAN ENDORSES BUSH-TEPIDLY
"George Bush, who seems to need a lot of help, got as little as possible Wednesday from President Reagan (https://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/government/ronald-reagan-PEPLT005429-topic.html), who gave his vice president a tepid political endorsement."


REAGAN AND BUSH: CALL IT A SNUB https://www.newsweek.com/reagan-and-bush-call-it-snub-196034"Ronald Reagan is not called the Great Communicator for nothing. In one brief sentence last week, the ex-president neatly summed up his view of George Bush: "He doesn't seem to stand for anything," .... but in case anyone doubted his true feelings Reagan then refused to be seen with the president in public. He skipped a Bush fund-raiser in Los Angeles and barred the press from his house when Bush came calling....There has never been much love lost between the Bushes and the Reagans."

Overwhelmed with grief. At the same time though, I know George would prefer that we celebrate his life, than mourn his death. I'm sure George Jr will see to it there is an open bar at the wake.

In that spirit, I will be raising many glasses of Bud lite tonight in his honor. America's finest beer for one of America's finest Presidents.

I wasn't prepared for this news at all. I always thought that when the 43rd President died, I would be ready. I thought I would by now have 43 flags to lower in his honor. But I only have 41.

Now I have to pay outrageous shipping fees to get more flags, it's very sad.

Quite Reaganesque display of leadership. Whole world could be joining Trump's call as HW Bush was one of the first ones to articulate "New World Order" on international stage and made a global difference.
Some skeptics are saying press confrence was cancelled to avoid questions about latest scandal breaking at home about "individual 1 (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?528851-Media-headlines-about-INDIVIDUAL-1-getting-bit-out-of-hand&p=6714705&viewfull=1#post6714705)" but that seems like sheer speculation:

WASHINGTON (ABC7) — President Donald Trump has designated December 5 as a National Day of Mourning after the death of former President George H.W. Bush.
On Saturday afternoon, Congressional leaders also announced Bush will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda from Monday evening through Wednesday morning.

The White House released the following statement:

“The President and First Lady were notified late last night of President George H.W. Bush’s passing. President Trump is scheduled to speak with President George W. Bush this morning and offer his condolences on behalf of himself, the First Lady, and the entire country. A state funeral is being arranged with all of the accompanying support and honors. The President will designate Wednesday, December 5th as a National Day Of Mourning. He and the First Lady will attend the funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.”

Additionally, Trump announced that he has cancelled his summit news conference in Argentina "out of respect for the Bush Family."

President George Bush wanted to show America what crack cocaine looked like at his first Oval Office address on Sept 5, 1989. He wanted to show you could even buy crack in front of the White House. That’s how bad the crisis had gotten. That’s how Bush announced his War on Drugs.


But there wasn’t much crack sold near the White House. As a U.S. Park Police official explained, "We don't consider that a problem area…There's too much activity going on there for drug dealers."


Easy solution: invite someone to sell crack outside the White House!


The DEA caught wind of Bush’s plan and they set about arranging a deal for Lafayette Square across from the White House. DEA agents planned to lure someone there to sell them a small amount of crack. Later a WH official claimed no one requested the DEA make the purchase.


On August 31, DEA Special Agent Sam Gaye was approached by his boss and asked if he could make a crack purchase across from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.


The DEA’s first choice ended up not showing up, so agents went to work on a second choice. That was Keith Jackson, an African American resident of Anacostia and 19 year old high school senior who agents had been in contact with for months. Jackson + Bush lived in the same city, but they lived worlds apart. DC was deeply segregated, two-thirds Black, but a city where most whites cloistered in the NW corner. The halls of power in the fed govt were shut off to most Black DC residents, too.


“Where the fuck is the White House” Jackson asked in a secretly recorded call with an undercover DEA agent.


That’s how segregated DC was.


The Agent had to explain the location to Jackson, who eventually replied, “Oh, you mean where Reagan lives."


Agents lured Jackson to Lafayette Square where they made the small purchase from him, but didn’t arrest him, on September 1. On September 5, President Bush held up the bag of crack on national TV. "This is crack cocaine...seized a few days ago in a park across the street from the White House . . . . It could easily have been heroin or PCP."


Without getting too deep into the details, Bush’s central point was this: “we need more jails, more prisons, more courts and more prosecutors.” (http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/2014/09/friday-25th-anniversary-president-george-hw-bushs-infamous-oval-office-speech-escalatin)

DEA agents had decided not to immediately arrest Jackson. Not sure why, but it seems that they thought the story of a White House drug bust would make the news and undercut the drama of the President’s address. DEA agents worried Jackson would see the address and hear Bush discussing the Lafayette Square purchase and flee. But they were happy to learn that Jackson “had absolutely no idea what went on” with the national address, and they easily arrested him after the speech.


Many applauded Bush’s story of the arrest, but Kevin Zeese, a defense atty specializing in drug cases, didn't. "It's disgusting...The situation is not bad enough that they have to create a false situation? It's the government creating a hoax so they can rev up the war effort."


Keith Jackson was charged and then tried two times his senior year, once in December 1989 and again in January 1990, both times ending in hung juries. Prosecutors tried him a third time and finally got a conviction in September 1990.


At sentencing, “U.S. District Judge Stanley Sporkin told Jackson, who had no prior criminal record, that he regretted having to impose the sentence of 10 years without parole. At the same time, Sporkin urged Jackson, 19, to ask Bush for a commutation.” (Washington Post, 10/01/90)


Sporkin: "He used you, in the sense of making a big drug speech," said Sporkin, former CIA general counsel appointed to court by President Reagan in 1986. "But he's a decent man, a man of great compassion. Maybe he can find a way to reduce at least some of that sentence."


Sporkin apparently thought 10 years was too harsh, but regretted, "I've got to follow the law."" Congress had recently passed a new mandatory minimum law as part of the Anti-Drug Abuse of 1988. (WP, 10/01/90)


Bush never commuted his sentence.


According to one historian, Jackson served almost 8 years for the sale in four different prisons until being released on August 5, 1998.


For more details see: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/tours/scandal/bushdrug.htm & https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1990/11/01/dc-student-is-given-10-years-in-drug-case/2384c4eb-8871-4d28-a4f0-a3919335c311/?utm_term=.673941594d09


This is a major part of Bush’s legacy. It’s what his War on Drugs did to just one person. But it shows the human costs of that war in miniature detail. A high schooler was lured to the WH to sell crack and spent 7+ years in prison, so that the President could make a point on TV.


Also, a clarification: despite 2 hung juries on the WH sale, prosecutors finally got convictions on 2 unrelated pre-September 1989 charges. Only after Bush's address+the first mistrial did the feds feel it necessary to charge him on prior acts. Seems they wanted to prove a point.

Got this from a University of Baltimore history professor.

The Evil Has Died

https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2018/12/01/the-evil-has-died/

By eric - December 1, 2018

A bit of good news: George H.W. Bush is dead, finally. At least he’ll do no more harm. But the harm he did do was enough.

Like the Nazis his father did good business with, Bush wanted a New World Order – and spoke of it lovingly and often. And now it’s upon us, in no small measure because of his machinations and those of his frog-torturing, mass-murdering, war criminal son – who was elevated to the position from which he was able to commit mass murder solely on the juice provided by his connected father.

The entire Bush family is a crime syndicate that puts the Corleones to shame (with George W. Bush playing the role of Fredo).

Bush Sr. – who wasn’t in Dallas on November 22, 1963 and not a CIA officer at the time – was later proved to be both of those things. His leprous fingerprints are all over the termination of the last American president who wasn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of the military industrial complex.

The Bush family was also good friends with another family. The Hinckley family. And then a curious thing happened on March 30, 1981.

And the leprous hands assumed control of the tiller. The chastened Gipper knew where things stood after that.

In due course, the anointed one officially assumed the purple – and we got the No New Taxes his lips told us not to read.

He then worked with Clintigula to stomp Ross Perot, who told us all what was going to happen as a result of the “free trade” deals being stuffed down the throats of the American people like a pate de foi gras goose.

And they did.

And here we are.

Now there will be a period of unction and prostration before the effigy of this quintessential political hack and fixer, who used this country like a Twink at San Quentin for the advancement of his loathsome family’s interests.

It is only because of the out-of-nowhere good fortune of the Orange One that we are not currently afflicted with another Bush’s hands on the tiller. We have that to be eternally grateful for, at least.

Meanwhile, the corpse of the creature will be displayed like Lenin and Stalin for the wailing and gnashing of teeth. But the guy who takes out the trash each week is deserving of infinitely higher esteem.

He, at least, does productive work and hasn’t killed anyone.

But it is not too late to make good use of the stringy old stiff. There are homeless cats that need to be fed. Possibly also some experiments could be performed that would yield scientifically valuable information – such as how long does it take various acids to penetrate the scaly skin of bipedal reptiles? How long to render one into so many gallons of viscous goo, to be flushed down the toilet and out to sea… the only fitting burial for the thing called George H.W. Bush.

Good riddance rather than goodbye.

The Evil Has Died

https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2018/12/01/the-evil-has-died/

By eric - December 1, 2018

A bit of good news: George H.W. Bush is dead, finally. At least he’ll do no more harm. But the harm he did do was enough.

Like the Nazis his father did good business with, Bush wanted a New World Order – and spoke of it lovingly and often. And now it’s upon us, in no small measure because of his machinations and those of his frog-torturing, mass-murdering, war criminal son – who was elevated to the position from which he was able to commit mass murder solely on the juice provided by his connected father.

The entire Bush family is a crime syndicate that puts the Corleones to shame (with George W. Bush playing the role of Fredo).

Bush Sr. – who wasn’t in Dallas on November 22, 1963 and not a CIA officer at the time – was later proved to be both of those things. His leprous fingerprints are all over the termination of the last American president who wasn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of the military industrial complex.

The Bush family was also good friends with another family. The Hinckley family. And then a curious thing happened on March 30, 1981.

And the leprous hands assumed control of the tiller. The chastened Gipper knew where things stood after that.

In due course, the anointed one officially assumed the purple – and we got the No New Taxes his lips told us not to read.

He then worked with Clintigula to stomp Ross Perot, who told us all what was going to happen as a result of the “free trade” deals being stuffed down the throats of the American people like a pate de foi gras goose.

And they did.

And here we are.

Now there will be a period of unction and prostration before the effigy of this quintessential political hack and fixer, who used this country like a Twink at San Quentin for the advancement of his loathsome family’s interests.

It is only because of the out-of-nowhere good fortune of the Orange One that we are not currently afflicted with another Bush’s hands on the tiller. We have that to be eternally grateful for, at least.

Meanwhile, the corpse of the creature will be displayed like Lenin and Stalin for the wailing and gnashing of teeth. But the guy who takes out the trash each week is deserving of infinitely higher esteem.

He, at least, does productive work and hasn’t killed anyone.

But it is not too late to make good use of the stringy old stiff. There are homeless cats that need to be fed. Possibly also some experiments could be performed that would yield scientifically valuable information – such as how long does it take various acids to penetrate the scaly skin of bipedal reptiles? How long to render one into so many gallons of viscous goo, to be flushed down the toilet and out to sea… the only fitting burial for the thing called George H.W. Bush.

Good riddance rather than goodbye.

He should have left out this part (not that it isn't true). Just can't share it now as others will dismiss the whole article because of that being in there.

"Bush Sr. – who wasn’t in Dallas on November 22, 1963 and not a CIA officer at the time – was later proved to be both of those things. His leprous fingerprints are all over the termination of the last American president who wasn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of the military industrial complex.

I heard on the radio that Trump has declared Wednesday as a National Day of Mourning for the dead Bush.

Apparently, Federal employees will get the day off. The one's vital to security still have to go to work, though.


“It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of one of America’s greatest points of light,” Trump said in the statement … I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance,” the statement said.


Point of light?:confused:

Someone should let Trump know what he means by points of light. Was he saying we can MAGA now that Bush's point of light went out?:confused:


Like we've never one before. Because We are finally putting America first. We're putting America first. And by the way, you know all the rhetoric you see, the Thousand Points of Light. What the hell was that by the way? Thousands Points of Light. What did that mean? Does anyone know?

I know one thing: Make America great again, we understand. Putting America first, we understand. Thousand Points of Light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that? Has anyone ever figured that one out? And it was put by a Republican (inaudible).https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/07/06/trump_what_the_hell_is_thousand_points_of_light_we _understand_make_america_great_again.html

[acptulsa]

Someone should let Trump know what he means by points of light.

Trump doesn't worry about saying stuff that means something. He just wants his blather to sound good to somebody.

The thing I remember about H.W. is nobody--nobody--particularly liked him. Republicans mainly rallied behind him to end abortion. Not exactly a brilliant strategy...

I can't even find a video of the interview where H.W. was asked if he would help Jenna get an abortion if she asked him to. He said yes. It seems to be flushed down the memory hole now. But we still have proof he was an early and major supporter of Planned Parenthood.

That was about the time abortion foes were saying, neither party will give us what we want but we're voting Republican to send a message. Better they should have held the GOP's feet to the fire.

President Donald Trump told reporters of the plan aboard the aircraft as they returned from the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

'So what we’re doing with the plane – we land, and then they come in, and these are great people that run these aircraft. They are unbelievable,' he said.

'And they’re taking apart – I don’t think this section. The section up front, They’re taking all of the seats out. ... We’re sending the plane, this plane, to Houston. And it picks up the casket.'

Even though Bush is the worst kind of liberal Republican and it is ridiculous today is a holiday, he did do two good things. He put Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. And he gave FA Hayek a Presidential Medal of Freedom right before Hayek died.

[euphemia]

It has been rather revealing how deeply loved 41 was by family and friends, and by other world leaders. Ronald Reagan was never loved like that.

My parents were of 41’s generation. I appreciate that cultured people knew now to stand, walk, and act with dignity and respect. My parents, who had very few opportunities because of the Depression, understood how people should live and treat people. Letter writing is lost art, for sure.

[euphemia]

Also of note: The President and former presidents are sitting on the front row across from the family. The Vice Presidents are on the next row. Of all those people, the Trumps are not really participating in the service. They have sung none of the hymns or liturgy. It’s an Episcopal service, so pretty familiar. I know the First Lady is Catholic, but there is nothing in the service that should not allow participation by a Catholic. The Obamas, Clintons, and Carters, the Bidens, Quayles , Cheneys, and Walter Mondale are all participating.

It just seems strange.

Obama not so much with the friends, either. He kind of threw them under the bus. Can you imagine what kind of funeral Jeremiah Wright would preach?

Bovard on George H.W. Bush’s Funeral and Career

------------

http://jimbovard.com/blog/2018/12/06/my-2-%C2%A2-on-george-h-w-bushs-funeral-and-career/

I saw George H.W. Bush give a speech in southern Illinois in early 1980 when he was campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination. His spiel was the usual campaign stump speech, with nothing memorable. However, after the speech, a young student at Southern Illinois University politely asked him about his role in the Trilateral Commission. Bush became unglued, shouting angrily about how people were always hassling him about that connection. Maybe Bush was just having a bad day but I was stunned by his reaction. Reagan thrashed him in the Illinois primary, carrying conservative-leaning areas in southern Illinois by huge margins. Bush’s Establishment style utterly failed to resonate in that part of the state.

I have been vigorously criticizing George H.W. Bush’s policies & career for decades. Here’s a 1991 C-SPAN interview where I flogged his nitwit trade policies: https://www.c-span.org/video/?23521-1/us-trade-policy

2019 will be a little bit better because he is gone.:D

Nothing next to what his life cost.
