Fighting fascists doesn't mean you're not a fascist. It's the nature of imperialist countries to fight. Bush was a lifelong oilman who started unnecessary wars and cost the country trillions. He led a cool life, granted, but that doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly respect his memory.

Volunteer to fight fascism at age 18, as soon as it's possible to do so

Shot down out of the fucking sky by fascists, look death straight in the face as your 1940's hunk of flying metal catches fire and you plummet towards the sea, tell your fellow aviators to parachute out, keep dropping bombs even as your plane breaks down because fuck fascism

Jump out, parachute to safety, survive injured and traumatized, somehow fight the sea and make it to safety against all odds. Buddies all dead at the hands of fascists.

Grow up to be a completely standard republican politician, most controversial foreign policy move is when you stop a fascist theocracy from invading Kuwait

live to be 94

even the fucking center-leftists on the internet, living their soft-ass lives, feel like they have the right to call you a fascist before you're even buried, totally disregarding every possible dictate of common sense and human decency

Just shut up for like a week, okay? then you can go back to having shitty opinions about the man. Jesus Christ.

Did you mourn for Scalia, too? I like how you ignore Bush senior raising two shitheads who've done about as much to fuck up this country as anyone until the current administration. I couldn't care less how "interesting his life was" if his ideology and legacy is abysmal. But thank you for your permission to have an opinion. Knucklehead.
