To some on the left, George W. Bush is the most powerful president in American history and can be blamed for everything. On Monday, actor Eric Roberts, the brother of Julia Roberts who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 1985 movie "Runaway Train," claimed the former president is the one who actually killed journalist James Foley, not the terror group ISIS.

"W killed James Foley," he wrote. "George W Bush. He is the forgotten president as we forget & block severe trauma. @BarackObama stands for compassion."

"Are you suffering from a head trauma?" one person asked. "Or are you naturally ignorant?"

"Wow," another person added. "I never dreamed someone could be so ignorant. You're finally the best at something!"

"@EricRoberts just like your acting, you are truly pathetic," added Twitter user "Texas Patriot." "I knew there was a reason I didn't like you."

"OMG, how ignorant is this loser?" another person asked. Apparently, fairly ignorant, as the video posted by ISIS clearly shows George W. Bush was not the man holding the knife.

According to the New York Daily News, British-born rapper Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary is said to be the man who beheaded Foley, not George W. Bush. According to reports, Bary left his $1 million London home to join ISIS last year. At one point, the Daily News said, he posted a photo of himself on Twitter holding a severed head.

“The MI5 (British intelligence agency) investigation into the man behind James Foley’s murder is ongoing, but they have managed to identify the masked British jihadist who can be seen in the video holding a knife to his throat,” a police intelligence source said. George W. Bush was not mentioned in the report.

His father, Adel Abdul Bary, is an Egyptian militant facing terrorism charges in connection with the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. No relation to George W. Bush was mentioned in the reports.

Twitchy called Roberts "cuckoo pants" and described his tweet as "truly pathetic." The site also encouraged Roberts to "seek help, man."

Never heard of him.

Never heard of him.

Maybe they can get him to play James Foley in a movie and get an ISIS member to actually perform the act.

[Machiavelli]

Never heard of him.

He's the older brother of Julia Roberts - another ignorant liberal. She's known for this quote: "Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant." Nice going Julia. You insulted half your fanbase.

I think Eric is more talented than Julia. However, he has personal problems.

These people are too stupid to be able to comprehend how utterly stupid they are. In America we have these fully STUPID idiots running around and talking as if they are the second coming of Jesus. And we have vastly more stupid people who worship every word they say.
 
I have had it. America is no longer a country which is fit to survive. The level of stupidity has past well beyond the basic level of survivability.
 
It sucks, but we are done. I do not see a way out.

Well...a start might be:

                                                                                             :vote:

Well, in theory, people can change the damage that is done by the power of the vote. In reality, the damage is being done faster than the voters can cause change. The US is beyond the tipping point and the inmates are in charge of the asylum. Rather than voters changing any of this, I'll go with recent history and predict that they will be unable to slow down or reverse the train.  More likely, they will speed it up.

Julia's older, and less successful, brother.

So then it's best we leave Harry Reid and party in charge, so at least it won't speed up if the GOP isn't voted in...

[xfreeper]

doubt if it makes any difference.

Well the good news is it'll save you and a few others here a trip in November...

He was on that rehab show once with Dr Drew. What a nutcase. I though he was the brother thru marriage?

Michael Goodwin made an interesting observation in his latest column discussing mayor De Blasio. Goodwin said that once they get in office most politicians quickly learn that it's easier to make things worse than it is to make things better.

And that's why a conservative approach to governing is best. Preserve those things that have worked in the past and then (if needed) incrementally make changes for the better.

And by the way, Goodwin is a democrat (without much good to say about either De Blasio or Obama).

Good point.  Conservatism doesn't prohibit change, but insists it be done slowly paying special attention to the likelihood of the unforeseen dilemmas that seem to plague every liberal effort at major change.

The Left loves Bush because he is the evil genius doofus, the most stupidly wicked, bumbling all-powerful impotent schemer ever to hold a position of leadership ever. Ever. Even better, he is the anti-everyman who can blamed for all problems, all the time, because he's an incompetent yet maniacal, brilliantly evil yet doddering simpleton, clueless stumble-bumbler yet insidious and nefarious puppet master who controls all our lives and makes all things bad happen in the haphazard, calculated, inept, ruthless way he operates. The perfect liberal bogeyman.

Goodwin went on to say we don't need to make radical reforms to government in order to improve things; we simply need to choose better people to run for these political jobs!

There's the quandary.  Who are the better people?  Many of the threads on this forum seem to devolve into some rather significant disagreements on that subject.   But hey, maybe that 'better person' will just materialize and become obvious to all of us...

Well, it should be obvious, shouldn't it?  Me is the best person to run things!  Everyone would secretly agree with the statement "I am the best person to run things".

What the hey Ocean, I'd vote for ya!

Someone correct me, but wasn't Free Vulcan just being sarcastic with his post?
