There was a story about President Bush&#8217;s appearance on &#8220;Meet The Press.&#8221; GWB wanted voters, when they go to the polls in Nov, to remember he is a &#8220;wartime President.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  There is a dark joke in Courthouses about a man who killed both his parents, then asked the judge to go easy on him as he is an orphan.<\/p>\n<p>  Yes, we were attacked on 9\/11, but not by Iraq. My sisters and brothers in the military are being killed daily. GWB would not be a &#8220;wartime President&#8221; if he had not declared war, and gotten us into this unjust and immoral mess.<\/p>\n<p>  I hope voters do remember the war in Nov, but aslso the reasons GWB is a &#8220;wartime President.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hanscomfamily.com\/2004\/02\/10\/a_rant.php\" title=\"A Rant\">Dad<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a dark joke in Courthouses about a man who killed both his parents, then asked the judge to go easy on him as he is an orphan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2042],"tags":[14,16],"class_list":["post-2226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-politics","tag-quotes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2226\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
