I wonder if Blacks in south Africa are taught that it was the Democrats who were the racists during the 50's/60's era. Can you imagine if Liberals were in charge of educating all children? you may as well put all of the books in the Fiction section.

It doesn't matter what the Republicans were doing for
minorities 60 years ago, what matters is what policies they're promoting and supporting now. There are good and valid reasons why the Republicans are the party of old white men and their wives today.
W is hated around the world because of the Iraq war, his abuse of war prisoners, and for his reckless economic policies. There is no defense for his actions.

But I can't blame you I guess. The man is humble and not a braggart about his good deeds.
I think it had a bearing on how the Liberal majority played out being against joining America in Iraq.
Funny stuff....Sorry but you could take Bush to any country outside the U.S. and he would be booed.
How soon we forget.....(Not me, though)

Anti-American Sentiment Growing in South Africa
by Terry Leonard
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Rising anti-American sentiment fueled by discontent over the U.S.-led war in Iraq is casting a shadow over President Bush's visit to South Africa.
Scores of disgruntled South Africans have protested this week outside the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria and the consulates in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
STOP BUSH!
Anti-war coalition supporters stage a protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa, Wednesday, July 9, 2003 as U S President George W. Bush met with South African President Thabo Mbeki.
Bush is on the second leg of a five-nation visit to Africa "The whole African tour is a diversion away from Iraq," said Shaheed Mahomed, chairman of the Anti-War Coalition in Cape Town. "This do-gooder visit is in response to a new Vietnam syndrome rising, as more and more body bags go to the U.S."
You are wrong about that.
Africa is not one big glob. There are very different countries within Africa.

Here's the thing about Bush a lot of people don't get. There wasn't a racist bone in the guy's body. He seriously didn't care about your color, your religion or your national origin.
I personally think he really wanted to do good. He got in a bad crowd. Had he not invaded Iraq or messed up the economy?
We'd be looking at a very different legacy.
Yeah, without that, the legacy would be:
- allowing the worst terrorist attack in history on U.S. soil
- letting bin Laden escape
- Katrina
- outing a covert CIA agent
- firing 9 U.S. prosecutors for political reasons
- torture
- no-bid contracts
- creating another bloated, expensive Federal agency
MUCH better.
Outstanding! W is a truly disgusting person.
Outstanding! W is a truly disgusting person.
Isnt there countries he cant even go into now. Wont he get arrested?
He is beyond a doubt the worst president in my lifetime. How many fellow service members dies on his watch because of Iraq?
Outstanding! W is a truly disgusting person.
Who's policies helped save about 15 million lives in Africa. I guess you can't cure stupid.
Suddenly what the Right would otherwise call government handouts become something to champion if a Republican's name is associated with them.
Classic!!
Oh and for those that might wonder why Canada under Prime Minister Jean Chretien didn't back the Iraq war?
It was discovered by an excellent financial journalist up here by the name of Diane Francis, that Chretien's son in law and father of the Prime Minister's grandchildren was involved with his brother in the oil for food scandal.
Always follow the $$$$$.
Bush should not have been booed. FEEL BETTER?

Good grief what an idiot you are. He travels to many countries, but his heart is in Africa.

He appeared to be a hit with the children, who lined up to shake his hand and listened intently as he read to them.
The former Governor of Texas visit was part of a mission to raise awareness of a cervical cancer detection and treatment program he has set up in Zambia, which has the second highest number of cervical cancer cases in the world
Many Zambian women infected with the disease are also living with HIV and have weakened immune systems, according to the Catholic Online.

Funny, I thought it was because most Canadians thought it was a horrible idea and were against it, as were most of our allies, even the ones who went along with it.
And they were right. It was a horrible idea.
Bush is a war criminal who should be arrested for invading Iraq, for Gitmo and the torture of prisoners. There was no evidence of WMD and he KNEW that before he invaded, but he wanted access and control of Iraqi oil.
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld personally made billions of dollars off the Iraq war and subcontracting out services to the troops. The whole war and rebuilding of Iraq was one massive government ripoff, with American troops paying with their lives.
Then, for good measure, he trashed the world's economy. And the low information types here are praising him. Idiots.
Classless leftist ....Bush has done more for the continent of Africa than Obama has ever done
A sterling example of the maxim, no good deed goes unpunished.
Former President George W. Bush was booed when he appeared on the video monitor at todays memorial for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg, South Africa, according to the White House pool report, which cited local press outlets.
Meanwhile, when the images President Obama and Michelle popped up, there was a 30-second deafening roar, the pooler wrote.
How sad. Bush has done an far greater amount for South Africa than Obama. But Obama is much better at crafting his public image and saying the right things.
Bush personally saved the lives of millions of South Africans with his Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, ensuring AIDS drugs are available to South Africas impoverished masses.
From a Washington Post piece describing how Bushs achievements were haunting Obamas June trip to South Africa:
In South Africa, the success ( of PEPFAR) was extraordinary. AIDS killed roughly 2.3 million in South Africa once one of the worst-affected countries in the world and orphaned about a million children there, according to the United Nations. Today, rates of infection have fallen to 30 percent, and nearly 2 million people are on antiretroviral drugs.
Meanwhile, Obama has cut PEPFAR funding and generally been his customary inattentive self. From the same Post piece:
AIDS advocates on Sunday said that Obama administration budget cuts that have slashed hundreds of millions of dollars from PEPFAR threaten to turn back years of progress in the fight against the AIDS epidemic. Last year, the administration unveiled a budget that reduces AIDS funding globally by roughly $214 million, the first time an American president has reduced the U.S. commitment to fighting the epidemic since it broke out in the 1980s during the Reagan administration.

You're absolutely correct, Joe. We also thought that Bush was lying about WMD and we were correct.
Canadians had the advantage of being better informed about the situation than Americans because Bush had effectively muzzled the US media by continually saying that anyone who opposed his actions was actively aiding and abetting the terrorists. Canadians were getting unfiltered facts from our media which was under no such restrictions.
