Wow weird bump. I don't remember writing all that stuff...then I realized it wasn't even a thread from this summer but last summer.
We just like the excitement of people getting banned.
Besides, he was free to voice his opinion. And the board owner was free to boot his butt off the board too. Both used that freedom.
Wow.
That was a year and a half ago.
I didn't read this whole thread, but man, that is some amazing shit right there.
Solidified relationships with other countries? Are you nuts?
Guided the nation through Katrina? Wow. I think you are nuts.
The sweetest part is your assesment of the economy though. Yep, it really worked out well didn't it?
YourPost=Epic Fail.
Really, is this poster around anymore? Because he/she has got to answer for this kind of display of outright stupidity.
Leaves the impression he really got banned for his political opinions. However, reason for the banning was his language. Cursing and insulting posts didn't help much.

Wow. I had no idea trying to strip us of our civil liberties at every turn was how a president shows willingness to "stand by us." I guess that's why I'm not writing for the Wall Street Journal.
And does this Shapiro guy ever talk to anyone living outside the USA ever? Or read any foreign newspapers? If he thinks Americans don't respect Bush, he'd have a heart attack if he knew what the rest of the world thinks of him.
I don't understand this, so could you please explain how, specifically and personally, your civil liberties have been stripped in the last 8 years?
Why does it have to be personal?
Do you not understand that rights were taken away?
"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."

Good Point, it doesn't have to be personal.
I've just honestly never heard examples of how our rights have been taken away...there have been wrongful investigations and interrogations, just like there have always been wrongful arrests, punishments, and executions.

Is this American citizens on American soil?George W. Bush has given himself the power to detain you, an American citizen, without reason or explanation, for an indefinite period of time, at his own discretion.

I have to say that as somebody on a work visa in the US, I have never had even an iota of a problem. Everyone, and I mean, everyone from airport security to other US officials was extremely polite and welcoming and treated me without any suspicion, at least outwardly. Part of it likely has to do with my country of origin, part of it maybe has to do with having lawyers do all my paperwork properly at a significant cost but resulting in smooth processing, part if it has to do with the fact I am probably a very low risk for staying in the US. Nevertheless, I can't complain about anything.
GW started off as a pimp and lost control of his stable.
And yes he was doing a lot of pimping back then, in fact he was pimping and hooking at the same time... anything to get in.
Barney snaps under pressure, bites White House reporter

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Politico is reporting that Barney the Scottie, President Bush’s canine companion, finally snapped and bit a White House reporter today.
Reporters haven’t decided whether Barney was fed up with liberal media bias, depressed by how history is likely to rate his tenure, or was simply enjoying the sense of freedom that comes to any short-timer.
The victim was Reuters TV correspondent Jon Decker, who’d bent down to pet the dog. Damage was limited to a broken skin on a finger.
Politico quotes Decker:
“As a result of the bleeding, I was treated by White House physician Dr. Richard Tubb,” Decker tells us. And, “Am now on antibiotics and will be getting a tetanus shot administered by Dr. Tubb tomorrow,” he says.
Rumors that Barney has contacted Scooter Libby for the name of a good attorney are totally unfounded.
