The Bush adminsistration has violated every precept of fiscal conservatism. They have also violated every precept of the the US constitution and the bill of rights. Young conservatives do, and will despise, this corrupt, treasonous administration - if for no other reason than they cannot obtain decent paying jobs with which to pay the completely-unpayable national debt - because of the policies which have already destroyed this nation. The monster-government has crippled the economy - and caused many prospective entreprenuers to not even consider trying any longer.

Nah, young people have something the Boomers still lack to this day - common sense and maturity.

Well that is a bit harsh, this administration has done it's best after being dealt a very bad hand. However I agree that they have done alot that goes against every conservative bone in my body.

While I hope they hold the house this year, I truly want to see a close one, to slap them upside of the head.

You know you've got problems when the Dems start to sound fiscally responsible.

Well now there's a half wrong, half right rant if I ever saw one.

Fiscally tax cuts are good, spending is bad. The administration has gotten half of it right.

Constitutionally, conservative judges good, mediocre judges bad. Except for Meirs, good.

Listening to foreign phone conversations good, Campaign finance reform bad.

Alien criminal invasion of our borders, lets not go there.

Iraq war good and getting better.

We'll get better at it with each successive country, Iran, Syria, North Korea.

Minorities advancing into our ownership society, and high profile govt. posts. good.

So overall The Bush Administration is a 50/50 proposition, at worst. They have done more good than harm.

I wish the same could be said of the last past three Democrat administrations. As bad as Carter was, LBJ, was worse, because he was effective in implementing the most damaging programs, which today bloat our federal spending.

I just heard Jeffrey Hart, contributor and editor of National Review since 1969, on C-Span2 discussing his new book. One line about which he was emphatic was, "George Bush does not have a conservative bone in his body."

Now, like many others who fought for conservatism when it was really unpopular, he'll be "read out" of the ranks of conservatism by such as the egregious David Frum and the Bush altar boys on FR. But he is right, and more and more conservatives are awakening. I just hope someone is left to show these younger conservatives what conservatism is.
