We must ALL keep the faith!
Including columnists who describe Bush as having "one knee on the canvas".
Clealry one of the ways the media bring about political loss is by repeatedly describing something as in trouble or losing or unpopular. They make -- or at least try to make -- things unpopular by describing them as such.
It's not just Bush who is in trouble. The Nation is in trouble -- in peril! And articles like this, by personalizing the problem around Bush, strike me as possibly well-meant but not helpful.
At this rate Dubya will never win a third term.
I pray for Bush and the US everyday. We all should.
Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help him up...Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break. Ecc 4:9

Right Karin, I'm so sad about that. </sarcasm>
Sometimes one has to face the truth of it before one can address the problem. We are there as a nation.
This is a problem not just for the US.
Certainly, the US is the leader but every member of the Free World must face these challenges head on.
Neither the elder Bush nor the current President Bush seem to have the courage of conviction held by former President Ronald Reagon. Their undoing, however, is because they are trying to be "nice" to Democrats. They both failed to purge their administrations of operatives who would undo this country. While Clinton ruthlessly purged the elder Bush administration of good hardworking, honest people and replaced them with their own operatives, the current President did not. That action is our undoing. I am keeping the faith, but I am disheartened today.
Consider this."John L. Perry, an award-winning newspaper editor and writer... he was one of the first American journalists allowed into the Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin...
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, science and superstition and it lies at the pit of man's fears and summit of his knowledge.
It is an area which we call
The Twilight Zone.
He served President Lyndon B. Johnson as deputy under secretary of commerce... was a White House speech writer and race-relations trouble-shooter for President Johnson.
In the Jimmy Carter administration... was executive assistant to the under secretary of Housing and Urban Development...was interim director of public information for... (FEMA)"
About the author John L. Perry
Consider this. The writer of the article, John L. Perry is a bleeding heart liberal from long ago.
I don't know what exactly happened to Bush with this Israel/Hezbollah war, but something sure has him spooked.
"Iran so far away..."
Best comment of the thread so far!
Democrats left in government are civil service career employees and cannot be fired without cause. They cannot be fired because they are democrats. That is the law.
Okay, I admit it, I'm stupid. I keep seeing this but I see no disarray, just the usual that happens when you can't fight a war the way a war should be fought (i.e. kill every mother loving one of them in sight, including a boatload of civilians).
What am I missing. How else should the war be prosecuted other than the aforementioned pounding them into the ground?
He will be if the terrorist's best friend, the demoncrats, win in November. God help us all if that happens.
We will know soon, if there is anything behind Iran's lunatic doomsday fantasies.
Maybe the reason he has trouble pronouncing "Nuclear" is because he gags on the thought of what must come.
...nice try, but no cigar! Throughout our history political appointees have resigned at the change of an administration and been replaced with a few exceptions, of course. While the law says that civil service employees cannot be fired without cause, political operatives can and have been reassigned to less harmful positions. An office director of 200 employees can be reassigned to, for example, be in charge of the 55 mph speed limit for the entire United States, with a staff of one! Important and essential sounding job, ehhh?
The operatives also can be encouraged to find other jobs. Counterproductive policies (that lack common sense) where the mission of the organization is less important than EEO, Diversity, etc. can be reversed or corrected. IMO leftist, socialist revolutionaries (democrats) operatives are legion throughout the government, especially the military.
On April 21, 1836, Santa Anna was sure he had Sam Houston on the run. He was so confident, that he and his troops took a little siesta after lunch, resting up from their long trek to the swamps of San Jacinto before their big attack.
The Mexicans awoke to the Texan cries of, "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!" as they swooped down for the kill. And kill they did, slaughtering the fleeing Mexican troops by the hundreds and capturing Santa Anna as he tried to sneak out of camp.
Of course, that was in the good old days before the UN would have investigated the Texans for "war crimes" and the US and France would have intervened because the Texans were using "disproportional" force. It's really tough to win the WOT with all the breaks going to the terrorists, thanks to Democrat liberal judges, Democrats in Congress and the ACLU. No wonder the President is looking old and beat up.
A lot of FReepers used to be liberals, many a lot more recently that 1976-80.
