Just pointing this out . . .

I've gotten so tired, over the almost last four years, of hearing everything being blamed on former President Bush. The following list are some of the things that we can ' blame' him for and, personally, I'm happy to give him credit for the blame.

Banned Partial Birth Abortion by the most significant roll-back of abortion on demand since Roe vs. Wade.

Reversed Clinton’s move to strike Reagan’s anti-abortion Mexico Policy.

By Executive Order, reversed Clinton’s policy of not requiring parental consent for abortions under the Medical Privacy Act.

By Executive Order, prohibited federal funds for international family planning groups that provide abortions and related services.

Upheld the ban on abortions at military hospitals.

Made $33 million available for abstinence education programs in 2004.

Supports the Defense of Marriage Act and a Constitutional amendment saying marriage is between one man and one woman.

Requires states to conduct criminal background checks on prospective foster and adoptive parents.

Requires districts to let students transfer out of dangerous schools.

Requires schools to have a zero-tolerance policy for classroom disruption - reintroducing discipline into classrooms.

Signed the Teacher Protection Act, which protects teachers from lawsuits related to student discipline.

Expanded the role of faith-based and community organizations in after-school programs.

Supports permanent elimination of the death tax.

Turned around an inherited economy that was in recession, and deeply shocked as a result of the 9/11 attacks.

In process of permanently eliminating IRS marriage penalty.

Killed Clinton’s ‘ergonomic" rules that OSHA was about to implement; rules would have shut down every home business in America.

Provided $20 million to states to help people with disabilities work from home.

Grant a complete tax exemption for prepaid or college tuition savings plans.

Restored Honor and dignity to the presidency.

Reintroduced the mention of God and faith into public discourse.
