If you want to see the original post, click on "History" in the header. It's still there.

I agree. Put his propaganda back up. It makes my post less amusing and that hurts my overburgoening ego ;(

I can excuse you for not realizing that the original document still exists under history (easy enough to miss), but silly comments like this one tell me you really don't know much at all about FR.

Your 3rd post on FR.

Lots of sleepers being smoked out by this thread.

Here you go:

The original post:

Reason One: President Bush spends more than liberal presidents and he has earned the title of the largest spender in American History serving as the worst possible example of what one might call a big spending liberal.
Reason Two: President Bush has expanded the size and scope of the Federal Government having created some 47 new governmental agencies through executive order and he has proposed over 100 government programs, which certainly indicates he wants and has delivered bigger government.

Reason Three: President Bush has given us the largest historical expansion of Medicare and the Welfare State itself with his communistic prescription drug coverage plan, which he priced at $400 billion and will result in massive tax increases.

Reason Four: President Bush has given us a massive budget deficit that is already in excess of $450 billion, which is the largest in history and certainly warrants the title of most fiscally irresponsible.

Reason Five: President Bush let one of the most radically left wing senators in the history of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, co-author his education bill along with consultation with Rep. George Miller (described as being to the left of Kennedy!), which resulted in the largest increase in federal education spending in history (the Department of Education is another unconstitutional department republicans wanted to abolish ten years ago) and gives the Federal Government control over curriculum.

Reason Six: President Bush said he supported Clinton’s so-called Assault Weapon Ban and said he supported reauthorization of the law earning him praise from notoriously liberal senators Feinstein and Schumer while dispelling any claim he is “pro-gun.”

Reason Seven: President Bush flip-flopped on federal money for overseas abortion with a very anti-conservative bid to send $15 billion to Africa as “AIDS relief,” which will go to groups that promote and provide abortions dispelling his pro-life, conservative label.

Reason Eight: President Bush has appointed more openly homosexual individuals to serve in his administration than Clinton or any other president in history.

Reason Nine: President Bush wants to give millions of illegal immigrants amnesty and make the U.S. citizens while at the same time he says he is not rewarding lawbreakers and continues to nothing to protect the border.

Reason Ten: President Bush signed John McCain’s anti-speech Campaign Finance Bill into law and even admitted it was unconstitutional, but more importantly he said during the campaign that he wouldn’t sign this legislation.

Reason Eleven: President Bush has increased the size of the Federal Workforce with over one million new workers being added, which serves as another example of bigger government under Bush.

Reason Twelve: President Bush did what even Clinton failed to do by granting federal funds for the grisly stem-cell research, which subsidizes research on aborted babies (Bill Frist profits from this) once again dispelling his pro-life label.

Reason Thirteen: President Bush now supports and defends Clinton’s unconstitutional executive order swallowing up millions of acres of Western land by declaring it a national monument even though he called the policy “willy-nilly” during the campaign and promised to nullify it if elected.

Reason Fourteen: President Bush signed the Farm Bill, which costs are estimated at around $200 billion giving massive subsidies, results in higher food costs, and results in tax increases ultimately.

Reason Fifteen: President Bush advanced the homosexual agenda after he signed legislation sponsored by the openly homosexual Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe of Arizona (the Bush campaign demanded he be given a prominent speaking role at the 2000 RNC Convention) that gives homosexual “couples” health benefits, endorses homosexual “marriage,” and gave them adoption rights in the District of Columbia.

Reason Sixteen: President Bush has been destroying civil liberties following the 9/11 terrorist attack holding American citizens without cause or trial, conducting search and seizures without warrants, conducting investigations without any probable cause, and can even revoke citizenship based on loosely defined laws in the Patriot Act.

Reason Seventeen: President Bush has implemented Clinton’s brainchild, the Department of Homeland Security, that establishes a permanent national police force through the mergence of 22 federal police and emergency agencies, screening tools to “predict” human behavior, implement a national I.D. card, and create a domestic informant program whereby millions of Americans spy on their fellow citizens for the Federal Government, monitor Internet activity, and in effect creates a police state.

Reason Eighteen: President Bush, following the 9/11 attack, promptly signed legislation that in effect required the Federal Government to take over airline security and shut the doors on another private sector while at the same time he opposed pilots carrying a gun in the cockpit.

Reason Nineteen: President Bush reportedly supports a move by the Mexican Government that would add tens of thousands of Mexican citizens to the Social Security roster and send hundreds of millions of dollars to Mexico.

Reason Twenty: President Bush rebuked Lt. Gen. William Boykin while speaking to a Muslim audience in Indonesia saying he didn’t reflect his opinion or what the Government thinks for saying America is a Christian Nation and pointing out that is why many Muslim terrorists hate us.

Reason Twenty-one: President Bush and his James Carville, Karl Rove, pushed successfully for Bill Frist to be the Republican Majority Leader knowing full well that he ran as an anti-life candidate that publicly supports abortion, profits from a family owned chain of hospitals that perform abortions, and supports illegal amnesty along with gun control.

Reason Twenty-two: President Bush chose Elaine Chao to head the Department of Labor (the unconstitutional department that republicans wanted to abolish a decade ago and also its spending has increased a whopping 65% under Bush) even though she and her father had strong ties to China's former president Jiang Zemin, she called the Cox Report on Chinese espionage “racist,” she said the prosecution of John Huang was racially motivated, and has other ties to China.

Reason Twenty-Three: President Bush’s chief counsel is Alberto Gonzales who was his chief counsel while he was Governor of Texas and was his nominee to the Texas Supreme Court, which is where he cast a tie-breaking vote against a parental notification requirement for a minor to get an abortion, and now he screens Bush’s judicial nominees, and he’s rumored to be one of Bush’s top picks for the U.S. Supreme Court (is Gonzales Spanish for Souter?).

Reason Twenty-Four: President Bush has failed to undo Clinton’s executive order permitting homosexuals into the military, after 9/11 he ordered the military to quit expelling homosexuals, and he authorized the U.S. Army to distribute a comic drafted by the Clinton Administration entitled, “Dignity and Respect: A Training Guide on Homosexual Conduct Policy.”

Reason Twenty-Five: President Bush threatens to undermine America’s security by unilaterally disarming 75% of our strategic nuclear deterrent including bombers, warheads, missiles, and submarines.

Reason Twenty-Six: President Bush has increased federal subsidies for the National Endowment for the Arts, the Legal Services Corporation, Planned Parenthood, and the homosexual movement.

Reason Twenty-Seven: President Bush said during the his presidential campaign that he was opposed to nation building, but this dishonesty couldn’t be more apparent giving that he is nation building in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Reason Twenty-Eight: President Bush has maintained and increased U.S. aid to China (Bush has increased U.S. foreign aid outlays overall by more than $10 billion) and passed a trade bill with China that was heavily supported by pro-China lobbyist and Chao patron Maurice "Hank" Greenberg who threatened to cut funding to the Heritage Foundation over position papers critical of China, and also Bush signed an executive order permitting more advanced supercomputers (than those permitted by Clinton to be sold to China) to be sold to China.

Reason Twenty-Nine: President Bush taking cues from one of his chief political advisors, Mary Matalin, wife of Democrat strategist James Carville, and a founder of the pro-homosexual Republican Unity Coalition, has attempted to remove Republican Party Platforms against homosexuals in the military, homosexual “marriage,” the first republican administration in history to hold strategy sessions with homosexuals, and kept in place a Clinton executive order prohibiting discrimination against sodomites in the federal workforce.

Reason Thirty: President Bush continues in Clinton’s footsteps by trying to create a Palestinian State, rewarding decades of unrelenting terrorism and hatred towards Israel, and dishonestly stating such a goal has always been American Foreign Policy even though his own father stated the exact opposite as President.

Reason Thirty-one: President Bush ordered the Department of Justice not to investigate the criminal conduct of former President Clinton and his Administration and he ordered them not to turn evidence of criminal conduct already gathered.

Reason Thirty-two: President Bush supported a Clinton-era plan to disarm the U.S. Army of tanks, tracked vehicles, and much of its artillery while placing American Soldiers under foreign command as Clinton did and keeping in place an awful executive order of Clinton’s that puts women on the frontlines in combat.

Reason Thirty-three: President Bush has supported gun rules that restrict clips to ten rounds, he has increased the ATF’s budget, pledged millions of dollars and the hiring of prosecutors to enforce unconstitutional gun control laws, and won’t allow U.S. courts to even consider restoring (restoring a constitutional right?) the lost second amendment right to own a gun lost under the GCA 68 provision, which says people convicted of a felony and certain misdemeanors like smuggling bibles into communist countries says your gun rights are forfeited.
