Wow, such great comments from all involved!!! Sorry I wasn’t around on May 12th to add my two cents!

I love George W and I’ll miss him. His legacy will be determined years from now as was Regan’s and Clinton’s. I think he it will be revealed that he saved a lot of Americans on American soil, and that is going to be his legacy. It’s how he will be remembered.

Phi Beta Kappa? What’s that, street slang?

It’s not a slam on anyone in particular, is Joe a Phi-Beta-Kappa? I added a disclaimer.

I guess a better description is book vs street smarts. We don’t need a President that knows how to make an nuclear bomb, we need one that knows when/if to use it.

Slam on you, Joe. Or is Phi Beta Kappa a sorority?

Dan, I think we all know people that had excellent grades in school, and function well in an academic environment but have very little common sense or “real world” knowledge. I’ll take an average student with a good head on his shoulders over a Phi-Beta-Kappa beanhead that spends all his time with his head in a book and misses out on the world around him.

My apologies to all the Phi Betta Kappas out there, this was merely an example, not a blanket stmt.

Does this prove that a GPA is not necessarily a valid indicator of innate intelligence I wonder ?

While W has not arisen to my expectations, I shudder to think where we would be with Al Gore, or Teresa Kerry (oops, I meant to say John) in the Oval Office.

Yes, I think W’s GPA was higher than either of his opponents. Gore flunked out of Yale Divinity School, right?

My GPA is higher than Kerry’s or Gore’s. It doesn’t take brains to be president. Look at the crop running now. “Anyone that ain’t liberal is “stupid” I believe is the point.

What really drives the libs nuts is that this “stupid” president managed to beat them — TWICE.

BJ,
you are nothing more than a drive by troll. Come in, say something stupid, then type ‘LOL’, like it means something in this context. You never answer the questions that inevitably follow such callowness. Dork.

With you on that, Geez. You all in Herndon are a bit better off on that front, however, since you have the power to elect your own government.

We in Sterling can do little more than elect one of a jumble of Supervisors, most of whom rate the illegal alien problem at the same priority level as whooping cough.

joe,
the lesson here is to act locally. Due to the in/action of Capitol Hill we are now blessed with a border that is so porous that it is facilitating/encouraging illegal immigration and a severly broken USCIS which has all but shut down legal immigration. Best we can do is hold our local politicians’ feet to the fire. We have to ensure that they follow the Virginia statutes which prohibit localities from providing tax funded social services to people who are not legal residents of Virginia.
