They should have gotten tough with the MEDIA and the DEMOCRATS!! Bush is a Christian and turned the other cheeck ALWAYS......the media needed to be PROSECUTED for alll the leaks and so did the Dems!
Individually with humility, the effective weapons fielded in the future will be prayer.
Or not. Lines are already drawn.
Yeah. Right. THE MEDIA is the reason Bush has trashed every conservative principle on the books.
Totally agree. The elected republicans turned their backs on republican voters...didn't listen and took conservatives for granted. IMHO they still have learned a thing from the last election. Good solid conservatives stayed home.
Let's wait and see if Bush can find his veto pen. Heck, even pocket vetos would do.
President Bush has done all that he could in the fight against "Islamofascists". He had to fight them as well as the dems and the press. He should be remembered as a great President. I will remember him as such.
He might be a Christian but he is also a flamming liberal of the Rockefeller sort.
Open your eyes. We were had by "W". His friends are in charge of congress and he can now govern as he wants to, from the left.
Bush never had an appropriate exit strategy (like Bush Sr) which is the first rule of war and now we're paying-not only financially but through policies and elections. Republicans should be leading the charge against Bush's failures and going back to sound fiscal government. Republicans have no one to blame but themselves if they follow Bush and Hillary ends up in the White House.
Well that's it the amnesty bill is done for. Now you can post the, "Ahahahahaha", again.
Apparently we now need a massive federal bureaucracy funded by billions of taxpayer dollars to teach phonics. All so "kids" don't wind up as failures or in jail. When I learned to read (not exactly eons ago) all it took was one teacher, a workbook, and a few teaching aids.
This illustrates W.'s fatal flaw: He sees a problem and immediately posits a big government program as the only solution. A true conservative ( one without "compassion," I guess) would view government as the last possible solution, if at all.
Oh pleeeeze. Just resign Karl. After 6 years of Bush spending like a drunken Democrat, I think it's a little late.
Secure the border !!! The amnesty plan isn't going to help any.
Do you have another pair of those rose-colored glasses?
Reading scores in this nation are abysmal. Much of this is due to the crummy "sight reading" method and a lack of phonics. I think we can all agree that it is in the best interest of this country to have a literate populace.
Fifty years ago school boards looked at curricula and set goals. Local control worked well, and I attended a school that, while overcrowded due to the baby boom, had a very advanced and strict set of expectations. I learned phonics, history, handwriting, spelling, arithmetic, etc. with no time wasted on self-esteem, social justice, and diversity education.
Today, however, local schools districts are up against the NEA and leftist schools of education. Reading instruction is ineffective, and any attempt to go back to phonics is shouted down by the NEA union representatives and university education "experts."
The standards set in the No Child Left Behind Act are federal standards which districts must meet in order to get federal money. It's sort of a carrot and stick approach. Those standards are set, and no matter how much the nEA gripes, school boards now have ammunition to fight the union's no-teaching policy.
Whether this will work or not is something we will have to wait and see.
However, given that abolishing the Department of Education is almost an impossibility since the public equates that action with being against education, it seems to me that getting the department to actually DO something and that there is now a way to fight the NEA, it isn't necessarily such a bad thing.
I would prefer that education be handled the way it was in my childhood, but leftists have taken control of the education establishment, and until the NEA is disbanded and universities throw the communists out of their education departments, this is probably the only way to counter the failing achievement of the nation's students.
I might also add that inviting muslims to the WH and observing Ramadon appeared as a joke while he was fighting ISLAMOFASCITS.
Also, taking our bordor security as another joke doesn't show much seriousness on the above-mentioned "fight". I wonder how many terrorists have already walked in from Mex.?, not to even mention gang members, unknown diseases, drug dealers, rapists, murders,......
Bush’s philosophy has favored .... energizing bureaucrats...
Huh, could've fooled me - I thought public stonings were illegal?
(the ONLY way to energize a bureaucrat is to tell them one of their union mandated coffee breaks was abolished)
Screw you, Karl... you had your chance.
I'll go even further -- it's solely due to Rove that Dubya's poll numbers tanked. It is HE who came up with the seditious idea of pandering to the fricking illegals for the 'Hispanic' vote. It is ROVE who gave the House and the Senate to the RATS.
He should be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail. And it would have been better if he WAS indicted.
BTW, what happened to the school vouchers that Bush and his crowd campaigned on?
