    George HW Bush is one of the greatest Presidents in American history, probably top 5, honestly, likely top 3. I say this because of 2 things he did. First, for the way he managed the most dangerous power vacuum in the history of humankind, the collapse of a very, very nuclear armed USSR. That could have been bad on apocalyptic levels. Second, because he did something, that he knew he needed to do, knowing it wouldn't be popular, knowing it could very well (and did) cost him re-election, when he raised taxes. He wasn't afraid to lose office, and he didn't make the easy, popular and wrong policy move, just to preserve his own power. So yeah, he's one of the greatest to ever hold that office, and his son, and Bill Clinton are correct, history has been, and will continue to be kind to him, he definitely earned it.

    How the heck is the Bush family associated with this organization? As usual, liberals took something that was originally conservative in foundation, but welcoming to all and then they turn it into a vehicle liberal, mostly Democratic issues. The CEO used to work for Planned Parenthood. This is why conservatives get angry. Why do you have to take things like this that are based in our perspective and then make into your perspective? Every single “religious” person on this stage is liberal, but don’t mention that and present themselves as simply religious. George H.W. Bush would be rolling in his grave if he knew that this is what has become of his vision.

    Being a citizen means being a servant to the UNITED STATES corporation. There is the United States of America the land and the people and then there's the United States fictitious business that has taken control. Corporations are written in all capitals just like your name on your birth certificate and social security card. You, the corporation name that you possess, has been sold on the market and you are the collateral. Every citizen has been valued at a certain dollar price for how much they will generate throughout their life. If you know someone in private banking they can look up the red numbers on your social security card which is essentially your EIN (employment identification number) of a business and you can literally see how much money has been generated through it, in your name, your own fictitious corporation, with boatloads of money in a trust that belongs to you that people don't even know about because it's controlled by the United States corporation that you are a subsidiary of. People can go through the process which requires a lot of knowledge and jumping through many hoops and Court battles and you can take control of your corporate name in the trust that has been created through it and gain access to the funds. Mostly for paying debt not just taking money out. But that would go for paying credit cards off, vehicles, houses, etcetera etcetera. Which I know people who have done this. This country is not what we think it is
