Wait, I care enough to have you tell me WHO is pushing this? President Bush? Teddy Kennedy? King Kong? The guy panhandling on Decatur Street? Who?
I think that is a legit question. Upon considering my options for the upcoming election I had to really consider if I thought President Bush was the kind of guy who would "hood wink " us.
As for me I say no, he isn't perfect but he isn't the devil either. I know in my heart he is not a liberal or an anti-American stooge.
SO then there must be some reason for these shifts to the left, as I see them.
IMO, it is a combination of things. Top on my list is bad advice from Karl Rove, and a soft Congress and House .
Of course that is not all it is, but it is a start in my book.
His Slickness had something called the President's Council on Sustainable Development (I think that is what it was called) to facilitate the states adopting some of Agenda 21.
A lot of the eco-fascists put in the government by His Slickness are still there to this day. There was a guy in the Forest Service that resigned this year because he didn't like Bush's stance on "healthy forests" etc. I actually met him once at a Forest Service public hearing on the "roadless area initiative."
For every guy like that, there are quite a few that have not resigned.
