GHWB was not somebody I care for, politically. He flat out said I did not deserve my citizenship.

With that said, he was the President, and a human being and a father and grandfather, and likely a decent person who tried his best given his personal convictions... Respect for that.
Feel like I should clarify this since I mentioned it earlier. It looks likely on some quick googling the quote is dubious and has never been officially confirmed though it should have been easy to do so.

That stated I have other reasons for disliking GHWB but do respect his dedication to public service.

You are expressing a very rare level of sensitivity and understanding. I admire that.

I always check that kind of thing with Snopes. ... And had he said something like that, his biographers would have noted it. Good work.

You can be an asshole and still have people who care about you. You can do wrong and legitimately believe you are doing good. I can respect that seven days a week.

I will not be so kind to the current mobsters running the country.

I'm generally a fact checker. I just assumed this was something he'd say. If he didn't, fair enough, but I can almost promise you he believed it on some level. Reagan/Bush really made the religious pandering an art form.

I'm cool with that as long as people show some general level of respect and understanding, but that never works out.
It's a separate thread for a reason. :)
I'm sure hot-headed people like me are part of the reason. But I keep my views out of here :D

To be fair, GHWB was a moderate when he ran against Reagan. It was once he became VP he shifted his views to accommodate the religious right. It is one reason I did not like him, because he was very quick to change his stances on certain positions for political gain.
Politics threaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
:)
Was going to keep it going then thought, yah, politics. HITs are not terrible today.

Edit: Gah, it saved the response I was going to give and put it there. Guess I'll leave it.
