What's Joe got to do with this thread?

[Howlin]

Darned good question.

[Howlin]

Why don't you point out a few of the Freepers who don't know enough to satisfy you and your definition of this country.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

GMTA. I was just getting ready to ask that.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

It WAS an odd announcement. Almost seemed like it was an alert. You know........

"BEWARE, FREEPERS DEFENDING THE PRESIDENT AGAINST THIRD PARTY WANNABE"

Maybe that's a new rule I hadn't seen yet.

[habs4ever]

No doubt if more people listened to you, then life would be better, correct?

Maybe they have, and don't like what they hear.They may not be "clanking " on, but have dismissed you and yours for the marginal also rans that you wish you weren't.Moaning about how rotten the rest of the electorate is for not drinking your Kool Aid is a surefire way to restore that dream of a Constitutional Republic.A stick in the eye is always a treat.

[lonestar]

Precisely. And these people think we should be happy because we're not in Iraq, after all.

Actually, I was thinking you should be happy that we have an Electoral College.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Maybe that's a new rule I hadn't seen yet.

Well, if it is (a big IF), one would hope that it would be posted somewhere so that we could all be aware of it. You can't follow a rule you don't know about, after all.

[Howlin]

It looked vaguley like tattling to me. Looks like somebody might think there's a new sheriff in town.

[Howlin]

He told you what you were thinking. Now hush. After all, he KNOWS.

[VaBthang4]

I understand your reluctance to say that given the obvious reaction but I tend to agree with you.

I believe they were very honorable men but they simply couldnt have imagined the sort of threat our nation now faces...and I am firm in the belief that if they were here now...they would be the loudest hawks calling for action.

More than anything else, they had a firm grasp on salient reality and I suspect there would be little debate amongst them.

Now, afterwards I am positive they would have a juicy rebuke waiting for all of us...but that is another matter.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Well whatever it is, it's strange and I have this overwhelming sense of smelling frankfurters cooking.

[thepitts]

So does George Bush's record inspire confidence in his honesty?

No,I am not inspired.

[spodefly]

The scope and scale of the federal government grows every year, regardless of whether the Democrats or Republicans are in power. Many 1000's of laws created in the past 50 or so years have no basis in the Constitution, nor do many of the departments and agencies currently operated by the federal government and paid for with our tax money. Meanwhile, the only powers granted the federal government in the Constitution (toward the goal of providing for a common defense, insuring domestic tranquility, and securing the blessings of liberty) are atrophied at best, and completely ignored at worst. Even the borders that define us as a nation not longer have meaning.

I have no doubts that George Bush is a more principled man, a more honest man, and a more moral man that Bill Clinton, and I do trust Bush as much as I would ever trust any politician. But that isn't saying much. The trajectory that we are on with regard to social policy, foreign policy, governmental influence and interference, etc., is not based on the principles that the Constitution codifies, and is not based on Conservative ideals.

Choosing the lesser of 2 evils is the curse of a damned culture.

[Freemeorkillme]

On a personal level.

For the first time since 1992, I have a president I trust absolutely; look to for an example of what leadership really is; profoundly understands what personal examples he must set as a righteous man walking with God as the Commander-In-Chief; and, who makes me proud to be an American living in America. For what it is worth, I can look into his countenance and KNOW that he has my back(not a quantifiable experience) and yours(whether you realize it or not) and that he wears our concerns on his sleave.

All politics aside, these are the feelings a man of his character conveys. He stands for us(all). I will stand for him 100%. If belief makes one a bot, than I proudly wear the title BUSH-BOT!

Onward Christian soldier!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

you would read articles and letters written by the Founding Fathers, you would discover that HB is fairly consistent with their views.

Got any comparisons handy? Thanks.

[Amelia]

Problem is, most Americans don't have a clue what the founders believed.

I know that even the Founders had huge disagreement over what the scope and power of the Federal government should be.

[deport]

What is it with these guys? It says something about a politician when he can't get his point across without snide little remarks like this.

Based upon the following, I'd guess he's had trouble getting his point across for sometime now.....

2000 Presidential votes for Browne....

• 384,431 votes
• 0.36%

[Freemeorkillme]

Very good post. I'll save it and pass it along.

[Miss Marple]

Do I trust President Bush? Yes. I trust him with my life, my children's lives, and my grandchildren's lives. I trust him with the military. I trust him to do what is right.

Who is Harry Browne to ask this question? What has he done to help defend our nation?

I stand with the President. God bless President Bush.
