Not true, but America should not enter treaties that hold us to a different standard then those of the other people in the treaty.

“Environment? Damn! We don’t need any more trees and global warming is junk science”

We may not need anymore trees. It is a fact that there are more trees in the United States today than there were 300 years ago. Global warming? That is an environmentalist illusion. If you lived this past summer in Chicago you would know it to be BULLSHIT. I haven’t used my pool six times all summer. When I ask the kids if they want to go swimming they say, “It’s too cold.” To which I respond, “That’s global warming boys.” We haven’t 90 degrees twice this year. Stick that global warming crap up your keester.

Typical response from an isolationist, insular thinking American. Thankfully, your thoughts are not representative of the majority. Anti-American is it? Geez, then that means the whole international community is nothing but anti-American. Definitley the current US government should do what it likes to this world, after all, it’s only Americans who count. Environment? Damn! We don’t need any more trees and global warming is junk science. Missles in Space? bring them on!!! International courts for war crimes? Who needs them, Americans don’t commit war crimes, they commit patriotic necessities.

Ugh!!!

As far as the list on Bush’s failures go, that list could be made about anyone. The greatest guys fail more often than not. Babe Ruth is in the Baseball Hall of Fame for hitting the most home runs at one time. He hit a home run less than 20% of the times he was at bat. That means that he failed to hit a homerun more than 80% of the times at bat. Imagine that, making it to the Hall of Fame with a higher than 80% failure rate.

I just have one question–is anyone really sad that Timothy McVeigh was executed?

Besides, lets look at the dates of McVeigh’s escapades. McVeigh, as we all know, was executed in June 11, 2001, about 5 months after Bush took office.

However, McVeigh was convicted on June 2, 1996 and sentenced to death on August 14 of that same year. This was into Clinton’s second term. Clinton presided over McVeigh’s jailtime, including the May ‘99 transfer to Terre Haute (where he would die) and McVeigh’s December 2000 decision to waive all his appeals.

I really don’t know what the point was of bringing up that Bush is the first president to preside over a federal execution. If the point was that he didn’t commute the sentence, then it’s flawed that you aren’t going after Clinton even harder, because Clinton didn’t either–which is a very wise decision, in my opinion. The fact that McVeigh -gave up- his right to stay the execution with the lengthy appeals process.

And the first half of Marc’s post (or repost, since it has been mentioned that this list has existed before) isn’t that convincing that Bush is a bad President–you can find a very similar list about Abraham Lincoln and all his failures before he became a President.

Oh, and Sosa was traded to the Cubs, not the Sox. That was before he was a good player.
