Our own President described those who disagree with him as bitter clingers to guns and Bibles. One would think that he had had the breadth of experience to know otherwise.

But a fearful prejudice against people who don’t live in major cities or privileged enclaves seems to be a fundamental part of these hateful liberals’ package of ideas. I don’ t get it.

[GP Ed. Note - Perhaps the fish rots from the head and the President's views are being projected by his loyal followers? Just sayin']

The only nit I would like to pick is, while not an outright whole hearted defense of Bush, a suggestion that he was trying to do the right thing. He was doing the best he could. Just as you and everyone else, include caveats to make it clear that you are talking about all Muslims, Bush was as the leader of our nation trying to do the same.

Many times, I believe, he tried to do something that was appropriate only to have his opponents use it against him, distort what he did turn it into something negative. (Working with Kennedy on NCLB comes to mind or not dwelling on the mistakes of the Clinton administrations handling of terrorism.)

There are plenty of issues I have with Bush’s administration but ultimately I accept that there were only so many battles he could fight to the bitter end. I think he recognized national security as the one thing he had to win and he did. Although I wish he could have been more successful, I can’t really blame him, that he wasn’t able to turn the tide with political correctness run wild any more than I can blame him for not being able to defeat the Democrats on Freddie and Fannie or trying to save social security or HSA’s or so many other things.

Sadly, I just don’t believe in miracles and accept that there are serious limits to what just one man, even the PotUS, the “most powerful man” in the world can do.

Just as no one man ended the genuine, actual racism that existed in the 50′s and 60′s, no one man will solve our suicidal acquiescence to political correctness. It will take a rejection (of PC as with racism) by a majority of the American people and it will be harder this time because we had important allies in the 60′s who this time are on the wrong side.
