I dislike George W. Bush because of his use of signing statements to circumvent the Constitution.  My guess is he used his first signing statement in the Bible upon which he took the oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States-neatly tucked between the gospels of  Matthew and Mark, written in crayon “cept when I don’t wanna.”
 
I dislike George W. Bush because he let good competent federal agencies (ex. FEMA) become a reward for cronies. 
 
I dislike George W. Bush because he keeps saying freedom in on the march.  Meanwhile, Hamas, a terrorist group, won the Palestinian elections, the Muslim Brotherhood gained seats in the Egyptian elections, and Somalia’s capital is now in the control of Al Qaeda bandits.   You know what is on the march?  Iraqi Shia’ fleeing their mixed neighborhoods; Sunni’s fleeing their mixed neighborhoods.  A case could be made of course, that rather than marching they are tucking and rolling. 
 
But I HATE George W. Bush because he broke America’s covenant with our soldiers.
 
You see, I believe that when a man or women volunteers for service they are saying to us-“I am willing go to the ends of the earth and make the ultimate sacrifice to defend America’s liberty and way of life.  I will give my limbs, eyes, ears and life.  I believe in our way of life. I will die for you.  “
 
America’s covenant with the soldier is this:
While you are risking life and limb for our freedom and way of life we will make sure that the constitution is protected from anything that circumvents that precious document.  We will not pass amendments that take away freedoms. Before we send you into war, we will have all facts available.  We will never fix the facts around the policy.
 
We will give you all the necessary equipment to protect yourselves.  We will make sure there are enough troops to ensure success.  We will give you a clearly defined mission and have an exit strategy.
 
If you are famous and killed we will not use your death for our public relations means. We will know who the enemy is and continue to think about him. 
 
We will NEVER cut Veterans benefits as long as a soldier is at risk.  We will ensure your family has all the necessary means to continue their lifestyle until you return.  Your family will never have to leave their home or use foodstamps.  If your wife has to work due to your deployment, we will cover the costs of childcare.    If you are mentally or physically harmed we will provide all care that you deem necessary. If that means that taxes can’t be cut even increased, we will do it
 
There are a lot of reasons to dislike George W. Bush.  There is one reason to hate him.
