But there is. Social liberalism infects all large federal agencies, all under the direction and control of the president. Working hand-in-hand with a social liberal Pelosi-Reid Congress Rudy can damage this nation irretrievably by the policies and legislation he pursues and champions.
. . . . while the Supreme Court, even if it filled with nine Scalias, just sits back and watches.
A good start would be by not electing someone who helps to push that change, like Rudy does.
"Many Republicans were sharply affected by last November's disastrous election and have become more pragmatic about their priorities. Mr. Giuliani, while adhering to his positions, insists he is a strict constitutionalist and will appoint judges who are the same.
While gun control is just one of the hot-button issues that may present a problem for Mr. Giuliani during the Republican primary campaign, there is an overriding issue that might make this and other social issues moot — the war on terror.
I briefly met Mr. Giuliani in 2004 at a Harvard Club luncheon honoring the posthumous publication of William E. Simon's autobiography.
His speech made everyone in the room cheer, and perhaps inspired some of the conservatives present to look at Mr. Giuliani as a possible 2008 candidate.
Recalling the events of September 11, 2001, Mr. Giuliani said his first thought was a sense of amazement that he was asking the White House for air support to defend New York City.
The second thought he had was, "Thank God George Bush is the president of the United States."
He then suggested correctly that if Vice President Gore were president, he probably would have followed the Clinton strategy of a symbolic response, then a retreat.
Mr. Bush on the other hand was "determined, focused, and offered a clear vision of what he intended to do." That, Mr. Giuliani said, is the importance of leadership.
He recently reiterated his admiration for President Bush, and if there are some who think he's just posturing to seduce the base, I can attest that his appreciation is sincere and predates his presidential ambitions."
