How Barbara and Poppy betrayed the nation?

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Kennebunkport. To listen to the secret conversations of Bush Sr and Barbara. What must they say about George, Jr?

They must recall all the terrible things he did as a child and all the problems that he caused them for so many years? They must reflect upon the serious emotional problems of their eldest child? They must worry a lot? To know exactly the person who is in charge of the red button and the war machine of this nation. They must pray a lot.

Yet, they remain silent. Therein lies there betrayal. They know the person that is in charge is a sick psychopath, a very troubled person. Yet they let our nation suffer...

That was their worst transgression against the people of this nation. ;-)

shits for kids"?

and entitled to walk into their bedroom with a cup of coffee, sit on the sofa, and prop his feet up on their coffee table ... so says POPPY. As for barbara, while she may want to break something over his head, she knows too well he is damaged goods and therefore protective of him to the last drop.

larger than Poppy...

Senior might not agree with all of Junior's actions but it's more along the lines of a son making a decision the father disapproves of than it is a "what have we wrought?" kind of thing.

It's not even a case of them being proud of Shrub - Shrub is just doing what is expected of him...and no matter how much he fails...they will never see it the same way the world sees it. You see, the family Bush doesn't care how anyone defines failure or how they apply it to Shrub - because the family Bush think people are forgetting their place when anyone does negatively comment on their son. That's what makes them the most angry - that "common folk" dare voice an opinion when "common folk" don't have the right to speak about anyone outside their social stratosphere.

The family Bush doesn't suffer under Shrub's policies. They won't be harmed by them. They won't go without because of them. They are protected from the harsh realities that face most Americans under Bush.

To them, we're just a bunch of disgruntled peons making noise. Noise they can escape from on a whim. They see us as peons who don't understand that people like them protect people like us and that they know what's best for us...so when we dissent or call them on their lies and crimes, all they hear are a bunch of children who who don't know any better....that don't know what's good for them.

Barbara and Herbert Walker were reared to ignore ugliness - but ugliness defined and seen through the veil of their social standing...the struggles of poverty,senseless death, hunger,the middle class, those without background....all those things that do not touch them in their world.

That occasionally they are forced to come across it from time to time doesn't change that bedrock conditioning of childhood. They are above it. It happens to other people...the unfortunate ones. It's just not a part of their world...so such things just escape their understanding....because they don't have to understand it. They explain it away with time honored, class protecting, rationalizations. The poor will always be with us...the poor are dirty and mean...people are lazy...people are jealous...people aren't capable of understanding how society functions because they lack the breeding of background that allows for that understanding. Agitators make the poor and the middle class unhappy with talk of equality and justice...and they dearly despise the agitators..and if it's a wealthy person doing the agitating, oman, they despise them the most...class traitors and all that.

They've both been isolated from the world through a carefully controlled social construct that allows very little to get through. Their children might step outside that construct from time to time - but they will always be protected by it. ..and their children's children will be protected..and so on and so forth.

They were both born with a sense of entitlement and their children reflect the same. It's what lies beneath the above the law thinking, and how dare anyone question my decisions that Shrub is notorious for..


Barbara and George HW Bush don't think their son has a problem - they think the rest of us do.

Damn librul media...

She is one nasty bitch, and it's obvious that Queen George is his mother's son.

Nice graphics! :thumbsup:

with her money and her husband's power. i think the woman is just as much of an empty shell as queen george is.
