So, what does that make GWB? Well, certainly a Texan. A Texan that has an Texan accent.

I know what it sounds like since my co-worker is from TX and he has a Texan accent. And Bush certainly has that.

A Texan accent is like a southern accent but with a bit of a twist to it without all the long drawlllll to it that Hillary does so well whenever she sees herself in front of southern crowd in a Church in Alabama. Like a turning the spigot on to get water.

“Perhaps the best example of a Texan who defines his identity through language is George W. Bush, whose parents and siblings do not speak with the same heavily inflected speech that he does.”

A good read on how linguistic researchers are studying the roots of Texan accents and the dialects. Heck, at age 10 I managed to acquire a southern accent. My younger sister had picked up an even a more stronger accent that prompted panic from my Mother who didn’t want a daughter with a southern accent. LoL.

Next time, Xor, before you say “idiot,” be sure to look around first before you say it out here.

Ya’ll be good.

Well, since Bush is a former pilot and great PR thing he did. One of the biggest myth or “misunderstanding” is that the “Mission Accomplished” wasn’t about the Iraq war but of the ship’s own mission that was accomplished. And it was the ship’s crew that put it up to celebrate their mission accomplished.

Again, the msm skews the reporting. And, hey, I thought it was cool of Bush to come on board with a flight suit and help the crew’s morale on a job well done. The crew thought it was cool, too.

Because my perspectives may be different from yours, and I may disagree with varying degrees, I provide my point of view that expresses my opinions on the subject.

I discuss opposing views all the time. Doesn’t mean I agree with them. I’ll say “I disagree” and offer my reasons why. Then again if I do agree, I may offer my reasons why, too.

No big mystery there.

Just being facetious here.

And now we get to see ad hominem attacks against commenters here in DeafDC? Just because I (or anyone else’s) may have a different opinion and perspective than you do, Pete?

I guess DeafDC must be proud right now.

Hey, I’ll play Poker anytime. I love playing poker, ’specially Texas Hold’em.

I have a different perspective of what a “neo-con” versus yours. First, you tell me what it means when one says “neo-con”. Please, no wikipedia references.

““If you mean, by ‘military victory,’ an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don’t believe that is possible,” Mr. Kissinger told BBC News.

On the othe rhand, he doesn’t believe that a rapid withdraw from Iraq would be a good idea. I disagree. I don’t think anything could make it worse than it is now.. but hey, that’s what differences in opinion is for. :)

This is a Yahoo news article on 3 retired generals, who are also Republicans, blasting Bush for his policy on Iraq.
