His economic actions are neither conservative nor capitalistic.

OK, I agree with the first part of your assertion, i.e. some of his economic policies run counter to traditional conservative principles. However, he is still avowedly a capitalist. In fact there has not been a more pro-business President, especially pro-Big Business, since Calvin Coolidge. Bush has taken the pro-Big business position on every issue, including the environment, taxes, investment, lawsuits, medical liability, OSHA, labor laws, etc.

Bush is about as far left as Lenin;

You know, you guys need to be a little more realistic when you hurl charges against Bush. Statements like this are just laughable and prevent you from being taken seriously. Read above re: Big-Business. I mean, if you want to criticize him, atleast get the facts right.

Considering our Nation established the supremacy of free enterprise as an economic system, we need an avowed free enterprise government to perpetuate it.

Capitalism was never in the lexicon of our founders, it never appeared in the English language until the late 1800s.

Well that is true. But, lets spell that correctly, what you refer to as "big business" is international business. Now the President is certainly growing international business; what he has failed to do is to grow domestic business, or to make us products more competitive abroad. That $770,000,000,000 deficit we have been running in our current account is a pretty clear indication of that. Unfortunately for Bush, he was hired to manage the affairs of this nation. So while he may he may think he has been elected to head a New World Order, and he may be the best thing on the global business stage since sliced cheese; his domestic results are enough to earn him a conviction for treason. What he has done is nothing less then to sell his country to the highest bidder.
