Bush Gets no Credit

June 12, 2006

Thomas Sowell recently asked in his article Who Cares About Facts Any More?

Bush has presided over the single greatest economy ever. More people own homes than ever. Unemployment is the lowest for the longest ever.

Many say the thorn in his side is Iraq. Okay so they took out Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Now one Army General George Casey is saying we may have a reduction of troops before years end.

Each year about this time, some parents write in to ask for suggestions of things for their children to read during the summer, in order to counteract the steady diet of liberal-left indoctrination they have been getting in schools and colleges.

Sowell was actually writing about the recent book: “Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies” by Gregory Jackson.

Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies: Issue by Issue Responses to the Most Common Claims of the Left from A to Z

He says :”If you think that the Constitution of the United States provides for “separation of church and state,” that George W. Bush is not as smart as either Al Gore or John Kerry, or that the big-money donors to political campaigns give more to the Republicans than to the Democrats, this book provides documented facts showing the opposite.”

Some of the learnings from the book:
~There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution about a “separation of church and state.
~The book debunks Bush and Reagan as dummies. Both George W. Bush and John Kerry both went to Yale, where Bush had a higher grade-point average. Bush also scored higher than Kerry on intelligence tests that both took in the military. Gore went to Harvard, where he finished in the bottom fifth of his class two years in a row.
~The Party of the Rish is the Republicans. Wrong again. In the 2000 elections, the counties that voted for Bush had a smaller percentage of their population with annual incomes over $100,000 than the counties that voted for Gore. The Bush counties also had a higher percentage of their population earning under $30,000 a year. But the hard data show that the top ten donors to political campaigns gave far more to the Democrats, with the lone exception being the National Association of Realtors, who gave 50 percent to the Democrats and 49 percent to the Republicans.
~The right Wingers are rascist. Wrog Again! A higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted for civil rights legislation.
~Bush has the most diverse cabinet ever.Clinton’s cabinet consisted overwhelmingly of white males.
