Words of Wisdom - Former President George W. Bush

Words of Wisdom
As the world recovers, we're going to face a temptation to replace the risk-and-reward model of the private sector with the blunt instruments of government spending and control ... History shows that the greater threat to prosperity is not too little government involvement but too much.

Columnist Mary Mitchell has the following article posted up on the Chicago Sun-Times website this early Thursday morning and... WHAT!!!
.
She writes in part... Say what you will, but former president Jimmy Carter is too old to lie. At 85, he's seen the best and worst of human nature... So, when he says the "You lie!" shouted at President Obama during his address to Congress last week was "based on racism," he is speaking with wisdom...
.
>>> NO... Mary! You’re not lying when you’re 85 and spouting crap... You just haven’t a clue as to what the HELL you’re talking about!!!

Good work, Bill!

I am surprised you didn’t take pop Bush along with you though. That would have shut a lot of folks up at least.

Carter's Hamas Meeting Legitimizes Terrorism
Friday, April 18, 2008

METimes.com brings us this report today and it stars like this...
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter ignored strong opposition from Israel and the White House to meet with Hamas supremo Khaled Meshaal in Damascus on Friday and by doing so inspired Israel's industry minister to say he is also ready to meet the exiled Islamist leader... Carter was expected to discuss with Meshaal the release of Israeli soldier Corporal Gilad Shalit, captured by Palestinian militants in June 2006. They were also to discuss the possibility of a truce between Hamas and Israel and the ending of sanctions on Gaza... The meeting was being held at a Hamas office in the Syrian capital...

Israeli minister ready to meet Hamas

* USNews.com has this article out today and it start it off like this...
There he goes again! Former President Jimmy Carter, acting out his stubborn, self-righteous moralism and his stunning vanity, persists in legitimizing terrorism. How else can the Middle East see Carter's meeting in Syria with no less than the terrorist mastermind Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas? ... This man Mashaal is responsible for dozens of deadly suicide bombings and thousands of mortar and rocket attacks that have killed more than 250 Israelis, not to speak of the violent takeover of the Gaza Strip by Hamas last June, which undercut newly revived efforts by Israel and the Palestinians to strike a final peace deal. And, oh, yes, several of Mashaal's victims have been Americans... There is bipartisan condemnation of Carter's meeting, but Carter has a long history of support for Hamas...

"It's very important that at least someone meet with the Hamas leaders to express their views, to ascertain what flexibility they have, to try to induce them to stop all attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and to cooperate with the Fatah as a group that unites the Palestinians," Carter said in an exclusive interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News' "This Week."...
