" Your "yawn" signifies your apathy to surging socialism, and your blind eyes toward the fact BOTH parties are the culprits."


My yawn signifies more of the feigned surprise that GWB is somehow not what he puported to be. That suddenly his record from two terms as governor of Texas was kept in a secret vault.


" Five years later, the traditional conservative agenda lies in ruins. Government is bigger, spending is higher, and Washington is more powerful. The national government has intruded further into state and local concerns. Federal officials have sacrificed civil liberties and constitutional rights while airily demanding that the public trust them not to abuse their power."


Those are Doug Bandow's words, written as though he was blindsided and having no idea of the mechanics of why.


As far as my apathy to surging socialism, and my blind eyes toward the fact BOTH parties are the culprits" goes, you are rather presumptuous.

On the otherhand, you best be getting some troops mobilized to take back the federal government from those culprits, as it will only keep getting fatter and larger, [now hang on to your hat] because that is what the people want.

Bush "purported to be" a conservative.* He has been anything but, as evidenced by the accurate comments of Bruce Bartlett, and the proof positive facts of spending from the Office of Management and Budget data tables.

*SOURCE: The BIO of George Bush on the White House Website, where it is stressed he believed in "limited government".

PS: Our mistake, as conservative activists, happened when we heard that first use of "compassionate conservative", a convoluted term that we now know means "socialism from a Republican". Our failure to recognize that "conservatism" does not need an associated adjective like "compassionate" tied with it has dealt the conservative cause a fatal blow.
