Today Jeffrey Scott Shapiro has a really good article on The Wall Street Journal site about President Bush entitled "The Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace." In the article, the author states:
The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.
Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty -- a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.
I'm not usually that much into politics. Although I have my opinions, I don't get into heated discussions about them. I don't really like conflict so I avoid it. I have to say though, this time I am really disappointed in many of the outcomes of this election as well as pleased with others.
All we can do is watch. listen, pray and hope for the best.
Years ago, I wrote a book by the same title. It has not yet been published. I had a time in my life when I felt so low, that I decided, consciously, to give up. The problem was that I didn't know how. How To Give Up is a tongue in cheek title. I don't have a clue how to give up now, any more than I did then. I do have some tricks to getting through that may help someone else.The turtle reference refers to an incident or series of incidents that contributed to the person I am today.
