  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes. For example, most historians ( who have the perspective of history) rate him poorly, but not as the worst. He usually beats out Buchanan and Pierce.
I think without the "war of choice" (Iraq) he'd probably make the lower part of the middle. We've had a *lot* of mediocre presidents. There is a reason so many were single term in the antebellum period.
Bush had the advantage of being a genuinely friendly person who didn't mind laughing at himself. One wall in his presidential library is covered in a cartoon, showing him trying to convince a park service ranger to let him put his bust up on Mt. Rushmore. People forgive a lot if the president isn't insecure and arrogant.
I also had respect for his physics game:


One of my students told me her grandparents live across the street from G.W. Bush. There was a medical emergency, and Bush came across the street and stayed with them until the EMTs got there.

You think things like that will every be said of Donald Trump?
Of course not.

We don’t even have to imagine.

I was speaking of Trump. He usually comes in third from last. George W. Bush ranks about 22nd. So about where you figured.

I see. That makes sense. Trump isn't even in the top 50 presidents.
