We all heard it repeatedly over at least the last 5 years. The moonbat conspiracy theory that Bush would “suspend the Constitution” and declare himself permanent president appeared all over the place; Internet, TV, radio, and newspapers and magazines alike. The slobbering left from Washington to California, Texas to Illinois and in every corner of the Earth was sure the evil Bushhitler would never give up power.
Why, he was at the same time the dumbest man to ever trod the earf and the most evil, machiavellian schemer that concocted the most intricate web of conspiratorial power grabs in the history of mankind. Only the Bushhitler could be both dumb and smart like that the leftists assured us.
Yet, here we are only days from the Inauguration of Barack Obama, a man that couldn’t be farther from the sort of image of a president strong on national defense and interested in rooting out and destroying Islamic terror that were the hallmark traits of George W. Bush. We stand here watching Bush kindly say his goodbyes and we see George W. Bush stepping down like every American president before him (well, except the ones that died in office, of course). Even Darth Cheney is packing up for his last ride into the sunset.
Yes, even as late as June the Moonbats and idiotti of the left were claiming that Bush would suspend the Constitution and steal Barack’s office. Gullible dimwits commenting on the entry in The New York Times’ Caucus Blog were just this week claiming that Bush was about to “declare marshall law” in a desperate attempt to stay in the White House. Only nine months ago, nimrods on Yahoo Answers had their panties in a twist that Bush would “stay in office by declaring martial law on 1/20/09.” Freaks and geeks on message boards were a’twitter over the fear of a Bushhitler coup. Only a year ago, the nutballs at Wired magazine were wearing sack cloth and gnashing teeth over the faux possibility. And don’t get me started on the extremists of Newsvine, the commies at CommonDreams.org, and…. well, you get the picture.
So, will each of these half sentient, dillweeds fess up that they were wrong? Will they turn to their fellow dillweed, whack-jonse friends and say: “Ya know, I have to hand it to Bush. He was an alright guy for following the Constitution and going home to Texas like he’s supposed ta.”
Can we expect the braindead HuffyPosters, the drug addled DailyKossacks, or the human wreckage that are the denizens of DemmocraticUnderground.com to apologize for their wild-eyed, foolishness?
Will they? Huh, huh?

bk (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 6:50AM EST (link)Where I work we have PFAPs (pronounced pee-faps). When someone has no idea what their plan for doing whatever is, so they end pitching their “plan for a plan” i.e. a PFAP. (A cousin to this is a DFAD – a date for a date.)
That’s what we have going on here. It’s kind of like voting ‘present’ as Obama so often did. Here are just a couple of recent examples.
o Bush is evil for having Gitmo. Obama says he will sign an order to close Gitmo. There’s dancing in the streets of San Francisco. Obama says it might take a while, but that doesn’t matter. Bush is the devil for saying it will close when it’s no longer needed; Obama is the Savior for saying it will close some day in the future. When? That doesn’t matter.
o Bush hates gays because he continued Clinton’s “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy. Obama is a hero because he will end it … eventually. Just don’t ask when.
And don't forget...
Warner Todd Huston (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 6:52AM EST (link)And don’t forget, Bush hated puppies and wanted to starve children.

Speaking of puppies
bk (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 7:38AM EST (link)Obama is getting a dog as a photo prop, as Clinton did. As I recall, when Clinton left the White House he abandoned the dog for Betty Currie to take care of. Now the Obamas didn’t have a dog but suddenly feel they need to have one.
I can’t imagine Bush getting dog unless he wanted to have a dog regardless of where he lived, and that he’d keep it as long as it lived.
Shouldn’t PETA be all over this?
Not to pick a nit...
itrytobenice (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 9:51AM EST (link)It was Socks, the cat, that the Pres and Sec of State left for the Secretary to take.
He got a dog to take with him, but let it run loose and get run over on the streets of New York.
But no, PETA won’t care, just as the feminists didn’t care when he turned out to be a serial molester and/or rapist. As long as they got abortion on demand, he can use their hair to wipe his rear and they’ll praise his name.

fisk2521 Friday, January 16th at 9:51AM EST (link)It was ALWAYS apparent that Bill and Hillary were NOT dog lovers – - as they walked from the Presidential chopper one of them being dragged along the lawn until someone else took the leash. At that time I was a ‘supporter’ of Bill Clinton (hard as I find that to believe now) but I am an animal lover, and could spot that fraud immediately. It was image – - dishonest (albeit a small thing), and I subsequently discovered representative.
I agree completely that George Bush has dogs because he loves dogs and wouldn’d have one if he didn’t. His dogs will have homes with Laura and George for the rest of their lives and not be pawned off to anyone when the play is over.
I would love to believe Obama is this honest, but doubt it.

Scope (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 6:59AM EST (link)were some that had many of the most wild ideas. They believe that President Bush, suposedly a member of the committee of 300, was running the country according to what he was told to do by Queen Elizabeth. I guess she allowed him to leave after his term ended. They also believed that McCain was choosen by her to be the next president, because he visited her in England, and he also visited the Bohermian Grove.
Jim Friday, January 16th at 10:06PM EST (link)Bravo. Very witty.
Those wild ideas like adherence to the Constitution, liberty, freedom, low taxes, free markets. Yeah, what a bunch of nuts.
To paraphrase Reagan, its not that you’re ignorant; it’s just that you know so much that isn’t so
“If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion.”
F.A. Hayek
“Laws are no longer made by a rational process of public discussion; they are made by a process of blackmail and intimidation, and they are executed in the same manner. The typical lawmaker of today is a man wholly devoid of principle — a mere counter in a grotesque and knavish game. If the right pressure could be applied to him, he would be cheerfully in favor of polygamy, astrology or cannibalism.”
H.L. Mencken
has anyone been paying attention?
Jack (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 7:43AM EST (link)The new refrain from the far left is that “Presidents get too much blame when the economy goes bad.” I love it they are caught betwixt and between. They understand this economy is a couple of years from righting itself so they have to downplay the impact that Presidents have on it.
Paybacks are a bitch.

The Left Will Never Accept That They Were Wrong About Bush?
izoneguy (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 8:03AM EST (link)The left accepts NO responsibility about anything. Even when the ONE drives the bus into the ditch they will claim he was making a shortcut to save time & money. Once America is truly on her knees it will be the time for the real great people of America to stand-up and cast out the liberals. We will know when that time is, the left never will.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Actually, they'll rehabilitate Bush themselves.
Moe Lane (Diary) Friday, January 16th at 8:47AM EST (link)All we need is another Republican President in the White House; once that happens, they’ll recycle all the insults that they threw against W and use them against the new President. How do I know this? Because that’s what they did with Bush 43: they took all the insults that they threw against his dad (who they HATED when he was in office), plus whatever ones were left over from Reagan’s term (who they HATED when he was in office), and reused them.
Sure, you’ll get the hardcore 3% of the current crop of Bush maltheists who don’t have the mental flexibility to shift gears, but that’s normal. The Democrats, just like everybody else, will just wait for those unfortunates to go ahead and die of old age.

fisk2521 Friday, January 16th at 10:00AM EST (link)The only thing that delayed Democrats attacking George Bush when he first took office was 9/11. It was ‘unseemly’ to attack the President after such a major catastrophe on our shores, but it wasn’t long before they hit the road running and spent their time trying to destroy him and a Republican administration. Now they expect different treatment for their liberal coup and bank on the fact that he’s African american to insure he will be given a long honeymoon.
As everyone I hope Obama is sucessful because he’s going to be the President. But I do believe we must have the courage to speak up when we feel he is going in a direction contrary to our Constitution and the tradition of this great country. Republicans have been less than courageous in doing this over the past 8 years …. particularly during the last campaign. McCain was not the nominee that even pretended he would do that…..that is one of the reasons he lost.
If we haven’t learned anything, it should be that we need Republicans who are not afraid to stand up for their own beliefs and not allow the left to define the arguments.

johnt Friday, January 16th at 10:48AM EST (link)The crazed, wild eyed, Bible thumping,[they never read it, they only thump it], Christians who were at any moment and with Bush’s support going to force their religion down our throats, where religion always seems to be forced. Six years at least I had to listen to this bull—t from people, giving them the benefit of doubt there, who live to force their inane political fanaticisms and hallucinations on millions of normal folk. Naturally there’s no inconsistency there.
They saw things in Bush that were never present, certainly in their twisted selves but not the man they were told to hate. And like good little dodo’s they hated.
Meanwhile Michael Newdow continues his atheist crusade, absent hate and charges of forcing his beliefs on others.

The Answer
Magic2171 Friday, January 16th at 1:09PM EST (link)The answer is no, “BDS” is so entrenched in the democratic mind that they will pass it onto their grandchildren by then the history books as long as it is not written by one of them will have proven that Mr. Bush was right most of the time.
Mr. Clintons will always be remembered for his scandals no matter how much the DNC tries to hide them from history. Not all of them have made it to the light yet, and Hillary will not improve that memory being the Sec of State.
Mr. Obama will after the media orgasm is over will be remembered for being Hillary’s, Nancy and Harry’s puppet. He is a know nothing, empty suit, without any experience he will end up being led by the nose by the Clinton staff, “SanFran Nan”, and “Dirty Harry” to ruin the country but make them very rich. The amount of corruption in this administration will be remembered as worst than Grant’s.
Why are you even asking?
frusorter Friday, January 16th at 2:04PM EST (link)As soon as the entrenched Left admits that It was wrong about Bush,
it becomes Right, and no longer Left. No chance of that happening.
It’s the job of entrenched partisans to denigrate and insult each other.
It’s the basis of our political discourse. BDS has a mirror malady on
the other side, called CDS (which is more general because it
applies to both Hill and Bill), which will yield to OCD (Obama
Compulsive Disorder).
You’re not really asking the question, Mr. Huston. You’re just doing
the Partisan hustle, to the same tune. It’s a Two Minute Hate, first
thing in the morning.
