Isolationalism is a destructive policy.

Unless of course, you are about to provide some shinig examples of it working somewhere.

Better yet - can you provide some examples of where it's a destructive policy. I can play these games too.

There's a huge battle going on; it's a battle for the soul and future of this Country.

The forces fighting this battle are both driven by ideological fuel, and armed with a great weapon...the guarantee that all are free to believe and think as they so desire, and the ability to effect change as self-governed people.

There are two major armies enjoined in this battle, and we have taken position on a battlefield called "governmental politics", the battle will be won there, as will the future of the nation.

Some people in this country, though armed with equal weapons, have chosen to stand in an empty battlefield, and wait there in the outside chance that the battle will be relocated to suit them.

That's where you are, standing someplace other than where the battle is taking place, not testing the metal of your weapon, and waiting for whatever the outcome of that battle may be, and whatever may befall the nation as a result of it.

You hoist your "principles" as though no one but you posses them, you are wrong, we all do to a great extent.

What I don't believe in, is that by refusing to join the battle, I can somehow help win the war.

You believe that, and you are wrong.

Sun Tzu said that the best way to defeat an enemy is by dividing them, you are the result if that tactic being executed by the enemies of our nation.

The most ironic part is that you probably see yourself as some sort of patriot, when in effect, you are little more than a pacifist on your way to becoming a victim.

This battle, joined by a vast coalition of those willing to fight, will one day bring about well-deserved victory, and those like you, who never actually joined in, will be poised and ready to claim the victory as your own.

And if we don't, you will likewise ready to blame the loss on the people that actually fought while you didn't.

Maybe all that flowery and misdirective language will disguise the fact that you're getting your butt kicked on this thread.

"Some(maybe you?) seem to think he [Dubyuh] let them down, shocked them. Not me...I expected about what I got."

Honestly, I'm not shocked, as I figgered Bush might be a lot like his daddy (i.e. good on foreign policy, but sorta moderate on domestic policy), but I'll admit to being disappointed. Bush is a good man, and I can't help but like him, but since I got interested in politics back during the Reagan Era, I was always drawn to the Republicans becuz I thought they understood that the Federal Leviathan was too big and too intrusive, and needed to be pared back for America to thrive. Now, it seems the GOP has lost that direction and seem to be a whole lot like the DemonRATS, minus the sleaze, scandal, and LeftWing zealotry.

To me, that is something we need to change, as America don't need two parties trying to outspend each other.

"I am happy that Bush is positioning himself to have four more years to attack some of the domestic issues that have gone ignored..."

IMHO, the Bush Campaign could garner a lotta support from the RightWingers if he'd articulate how we are going to attack these domestic issues in a conservative manner (i.e. eliminating/consolidating superfluous programs and decreasing wasteful domestic pork-barrel spending).

The RightWing wants to be enthused about a second Bush term, but he's gotta give us something to work with...MUD

Mr. President---

Start taking action to enforce our borders and immigration laws, and I'll be right there for you.

Look how aggressive he is on TAX
CUTS...his father cowtowed to the
Dems, broke his NNT pledge etc.

In foreign affairs, the U.N. ran
his father way too much. Dad was
good but too TIMID to lead against
opposition. The son is a lion & a
rock by comparison. Like BARBARA.

Dubya is more Reagan-like than
Bush 41-like, IMO. And unlike
anyone else, too. Just himself.

After 12 yrs of 41 & Billary, he
is a HUGE PLUS for us, just not
perfect. But neither was Reagan.

Both the Gipper & Dubya have their
reasons for imperfection. I give
equal weight to both.

You seem to speak with authority.
