I'd say since Carter. TR charged up a hill into machine gun fire. He took a bullet (in the torso) then proceeded to make a speech and go for something like 3 hours, I believe?

you realized that I just imagined him charging up san juan hill wounded, making an incredably long speach at the top for reporters and then proceeding to dig the panama canal by himself.....

And let me know when Bush does something intelligent that might actually garner respect from those other than his fawning fanboys.
Let me guess... you wouldn't happen to be one of the members of the "anybody but Bush" cult would you? You call it a "circle-jerk" for thinking it's neat that the president would do the dirty work and help out a secret service agent? Fucking Christ.
Wow, did that take you alot of effort to type out, little one? Your mother must be so proud.

Yea, it's a mindless circlejerk in here. Sure, it's good that he wasn't going to stand there like a dipshit while this happened, but should I be impressed by a President acting more mature than a fourth grader? I thought the prevailing whine was that the President was a competent, mature adult.

What I find ridiculous is your inability to just stay out of a thread that actually might show something that everyone can agree with that might just be a good thing. Instead you decide you need to bring up anti-Bush rhetoric in a thread that really should be void of all such statements.

Translation: If you're not going to join the circlejerk and post that George Bush is a True American Hero (TM) for doing this, go away.

Wrong. In essence, don't make an arse out of yourself by berating Bush in some way , shape, or form every time you turn around even if it's for something decent.

Wrong. Praising somebody who does something decent, once, as "a kickass president who don't take no shit from nobody" qualifies perfectly as a circlejerk. Nitram merely pointed it as such.

Next time it's going to be "G.W. Bush, a true gentleman! He opened the limo door for his wife instead of waiting for the driver to do so! He's a true inspiration to us all!"

also students of history will also note this sets us back with our nearest neighbors...

Holy shit. Your trying to apply a slippery slope fallacy to something as trivial as this. Liberals never cease to amaze me with their constant berating.

how about the other pov

foriegn relations (which we have been alienating everyone) and the phrase Gringo Go Home.

we damn well could have been kicked out of south america just like then VP Nixon was.

Nice try, bitchtits

, I'm not a liberal, I'm one of those durn freedom hatin' foreigners.

How is it a slippery slope? It's about the same level in triviality, and I'm not the one shouting "praise Bush, he takes care of his own!" in a circle wank thread

Holy shit, you're using logical fallacy names as catch-all buzzwords to try and win an argument. Conservatives never cease to amaze me with their constant idiocy.

Don't forget JFK.

He saved a man's life after the Japanese crashed into his boat.

And he did it with his teeth.

Well some retards think that whenever "next time" is used, it's a slippery slope.

"Next time you're in Denver come visit me." Oops, slippery slope!

The comment also really wouldnt qualify as a slippery slope fallacy, as I don't think he was seriously suggesting that would happen next, merely making a joke at the expense of the "Dubya Circle JerkTM." Maybe if you got your lips off of George Bush's cock for five minutes, you'd realize that.

Why does a thread about how President Bush defied convention by sticking up for a Secret Service guy have necessarily to be an administration of fellatio?

Because nearly every single person goes "he's my hero! hail the president! more kickass than Schwarzenegger!" instead of just saying "it was a nice thing to do."

And who knows, just maybe it would have been the more correct thing to politely tell them to let him pass instead of just forcefully pulling him in, what does it say about respect to a foreign government?

Because it's an entertaining event. You're inflating the signifiance of the attention paid it.

First of all, that's beside the point that it makes for an entertaining story.

Second, on a more technical and meaningful level, I doubt that Chile's icy response to the President was predicated even minimally on that incident. I think, rather, it just stems from a general international satisfaction with Bush, who thanks to the diplomatic bungling of Iraq has come to stand for all that is ignorant in how the U.S. approaches the rest of the world.

We never said this thread was about fellatio; we said it was a circle-jerk. Completely different.

This was a response that I thought summarily sums up my point. It's a cool thing to do, even if you don't agree with his policies.

I don't think anyone is inflating the attention paid to it, just read up in the beginning of this thread to see the masturbation to this event.

Oi, cycloidfever, learn to read them DAMN THREADS!

OP:

A genuine American Badass.

FIRST COMMENTS

How (much) more awesome do you get? I mean, have we had a president this badassed since TR?

It's all relative, buddy. Here you got, essentially, the most powerful man on the planet... getting his knuckles dirty for someone that is essentially a mobile kevlar vest.

Whatever this means:

Very cool. Very Jacksonian.

Bah, NOTHING compares to our previous Prime Minister Jean Chretien grabbing a protester by the neck and shoving him out of his way.

He was later quoted as saying this: ""Some people came in my way; I had to go." So if you're in my way, I'm walking. I don't know what happened. Somebody should not have been there."
