With the coronation of King Obama only a few days away, I feel compelled to say a few words for the last president to govern our country before we become a socialist country.
Thank you President Bush for keeping our country free from terrorist strikes for over seven years. I don’t think there was a single person, myself included, who thought you could keep this nation from suffering another terrorist disaster for this long.
Thank you for taking the fight to the enemy. While mistakes were made in prosecuting the war, overall it has weakened the terrorists. Many will say the cost in terms of human life and money was too great. However, what would have been the cost if we did as little as many liberals had been calling for? What if the likes of Harry Reid, who said the war was lost, had been in charge? Terrorists around the world would have been emboldened and likely caused untold loss of life and economic damage that we can only begin to imagine. Terrorists don’t respond to reason and diplomacy. While a civilized society values life, terrorism thrives on death and destruction. History has clearly shown that.
Thank you for being principled and not basing your decisions on political polls of the day. In my heart, I know you made your decisions with the best interests of the country in mind. I don’t think you ever made a decision for purely political gain.
Thank you for not folding under pressure when most of the media and political pundits were slinging mud and lies at you and being so utterly disrespectful. A lesser man would have given in and responded at their cowardly level. You stayed above the fray and truly showed class. Most honest Americans despise the likes of Pelosi, Reid, Krugman, Olbermann and Maddow. Honest debate and criticism is valued in this country. However, smears, lies and dishonest reporting are slowly killing this country.
Thank you for being a man of faith. While the secular left mocks any form of religion, especially Christianity, you weren’t afraid to pray for guidance and demonstrate your faith in God.
Above all, I wish you and your family a quiet and peaceful time in the days and months ahead. You’ve earned it. Thank you President Bush.
