"But given the actions of the republican congress, senate, and president, I'm not sure the nation can withstand four more years of their liberalism. They have certainly made it crystal clear that none of them hold to a smidgen of conservative principle, which begs the question. Isn't advertising onself as "The Party of Principle" false advertising?=o)"Like always, MAP, you are telling it like it is.
I'm just amazed at the number of Freepers yawning over Dubya's failure to enforce American sovereignty, and refusal to admit there are maggots in our 'Chef's Special.'

I suspect people have lost something vital growing up in an age where reading between the lines and translating political double speak becomes a critical skill. Two plus two can no longer be counted on to equal four, they think there may be things going on behind the scenes of that math process that can effect the outcome.
People like me pay no attention to what is going on between the lines, what may or may not be going on behind the scenes, the deception, the sales pitch, the game, the smoke and mirrors and concentrate on cause and effect.
When socialism happens, nations collapse, doesn't matter how smart the people that are in charge of it believe themselves to be, or how they plan to prevent the historical destructive outcome by tweaking it, People like me and you know it will always end the same way.
The same thing with degrading our Constitution. Foolish politicians and elites consider the Constitution the security blanket of the ignorant masses, a blanket they need to be weaned away from. When in reality the Constitution is a fortress and a last refuge from the tyrant. It can't be weakened or ignored here an there and not form cracks in it's foundation and our protection.
It's the same with our sovereignty, one can not hold to a little sovereignty. The minute national interests, cultural interests, individual rights falls under the influence and authority of outside forces, there is an incredible net loss in all areas.
Some people are holding to the hope that Bush is a good man who has a plan up his sleeve that will benefit them. When it doesn't matter if he is good or evil, or if his sincere intention is to benefit the nation. I think he cares more for being percieved as the first unoffical President of the Western Hemisphere. His actions, his direction, no matter his intentions, has terrible consequences that cannot be mended without blood spilled.
They have been decieving themselves like that for three years now, out of fear, denial, ignorance of the outcome of cause and effect, because their concentration is not on cause and effect, but reading between the lines. It's like grabbing the hot end of a candle over and over and hoping for a different outcome each time. Lacking foresight is a real bad deal.
