You are one of several people who have recently put forth the thesis that the Bush administration is going along with statist, unconstitutional things because of the political climate. I strongly disagree.
Have you heard of the principle of Occam's razor? Briefly put, it says that the most simple explanation is most likely the correct one. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and craps like a duck, it is very likely a duck. Likewise if the Bush signs bills like a liberal statist, refuses to rescind EO's on gun control like a liberal statist, refuses to put the brakes on the alphabet soup of agencies who sole purpose is to remove our freedoms like a liberal statist, then he is a liberal statist.
Sorry to mess up your opinions with the facts, but Bush is a businessman. He has and will do nothing that would be harmfull. He is trying to improve the climate.
You must have some other issues because you are dead wrong on this.
