MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - Domestic Security Since 2001. This is your chance to thank President Bush for keeping you safe all those years. Except for that one time.
This post was deleted for the following reason: by the time I woke up this post had as many flags as it had comments - maybe people are clicking the wrong thing? Can we please make an effort to make posts that are interesting/funny/thought-provoking and not GRARGRARIHATETHESEPEOPLE? Thank you. -- jessamyn
Don't forget the Poland The Anthrax.
Also, I like how they completely ripped off Obama's design.

Hmm, Müllerhaus Publishing, eh? Let's see here.
Publishers of "Disabling America: the Unintended Consequences of the Government's Protection of the Handicapped," "The Jihad Cult" which apparently all boils down to a milky, unholhy glass eye, a book about how "the DNC and Network News coordinated their assault on the President... and why they failed so badly!" and something about "Interspecies Telepathic Communication."
Clearly, you speak for everyone. Also, you just clicked the button yourself about 8,000 times to get things going. Stupid website doesn't check.

By the grace of God Bush is finally gone from the White House. By the grace of God, can we PLEASE keep him gone from Metafilter?

Also, I call bullshit on posting this at 3AM - that's some pretty out-and-out "dodge the mod" bullshit right there.

[the Daily Show:]
Let’s face it: When George W. Bush claims he’s “kept us safe,” it’s kind of like the babysitter who lets the toddler wander into traffic the first hour she’s on the job, then herds all the remaining kids into the basement and locks them in to compensate. So when the parents get home, she says: “See, I kept them all safe after the toddler got run over.”posted by DreamerFi at 1:14 AM on January 21, 2009 [6 favorites]
Well, I think this post is crap, only for it's two dimensionality in presenting the banality of evil. That's my two permanently-drunken, partially-expatriated, barely-worth-two-euro-cents pennies on the matter.
Fuck this guy's legacy of crippling our veterans for life (which differs by an entire freaking order of magnitude from our dead, unlike wars where medical technology couldn't turn them into paraplegics) and humiliating expatriates everywhere. He never won my vote (or my delegates', given that I'm Californian) and he'll never get my support, nor my family's. Even in some idiotic postmortem analysis funded by some PAC or MSM channel where the rhetoric flows thicker than diarrhea.
This backwards cardboard placard of achievement will fade with time, but the stories we tell our children will ensure that he is our worst president ever. Coolidge aside.

i_am_joe's_spleen: Come on, you know better than that. We know that McKinley dealt with anarchists. We know that Clinton dealt(?) with the worst domestic terrorist attack ever, we know that embassy bombings have happened along the way. Let's not cheapen Lockerbie, either. I don't like George W. Bush much, that's for sure, but we have a history, and to deny it is to repeat it.

And yes, I'm choosing to vent now, after the hurt has started to fade. This asshole made sure I'd have to spend double the amount of the Clinton years on my freaking transit visa to Russia, double to Uzbekistan (okay, fine, I get it, but let's play politics here) and struggle to make polite conversation with anyone politically aware.
The fact is, in September of 2001, I bet my friend that we'd invade Iraq because of Bush's rhetorical direction, that we'd camp out there, like his Dad almost did, while pounding Afghanistan (where my father served the US/UK/OZ/NZ bravely during my birth year) into the dirt, and I'd have to apologize to every one of the foreign friends I'd make.
Guess freaking what? Yeah, that's right: I won the only bet I've regretted (in active drunken memory) making in my life. I've apologized to a citizen of almost every country in Europe, to every Ozzie and Kiwi I've met, to every Canuck and Mexican, to every Russian and CISian, even to random Chinese. It's etiquette, and that's beyond our former president who, despite graduating from our nation's prestigious patrician college system, never managed to take his feet off the table while eating.

Umm, you don't get it other posters. The world you live in is full of people that don't agree with you. By saying that you think this link does not belong on the MeFi front page is to actively encourage ignorance. We need to see the entire picture of America to fully appreciate the role and position that us "enlightened folk" really have to play right now.

Umm, you don't get it ryaninoakland; the reason I want this off the front page is because it is a fucking crap post. That is all.

The best part is that "missionaccomplished.com" seems to be a parked domain, which is usually code for "pay me enough and you can have it." Apparently too high a price to pay to send this glorious message.

Wow, that's the second time you complained about visa fees. I remember, because I thought it was such a weird thing to complain about.
