Wow, that came from a paper in San Francisco?

Thanks for the read. Maybe when the brain-washing subsides there will be a better understanding of what G.W. did.

Just you wait, after Barry and his cronies take over, and start their run, in a few years the MSM will be saying...."You know, "W" wasn't all that bad of a President after all."

I agree 100%. It's always amazing to see the "tolerant" party in this country accuse anyone and everyone who disagrees with them as "anti-intellectual."

I also in particular enjoyed the comment about our troop positions around the globe, clearly the person is an expert in their own mind. He/she even remembered to use CAPS for effect!

Good article, but the commentary at the bottom soured it for me.
