I got through to the White House Comment Line (1-202-456-1111) again today and told the operator it was increasingly annoying that the president continues to lie down and let the likes of Chuck Schumer use him as a doormat, that the president should be stressing the U.S. attorneys serve at his pleasure, that Clinton fired all 93--at which point the operator interrupted with "in 1993--great comment!"
You know you're ticking off a substantial percentage of the country when your comment line operators need callers to address their concerns to. . . .

Also from the article:
George W. Bush has socially conservative opinions but he avoids confrontation with the cultural left the way cats avoid water. Even when he does the right thing he feels compelled to do it in an apologetic, almost cringing way that empowers his enemies and dispirits his supporters.You know, America couldn't be the superpower that it is today if it wasn't for its people ability to succeed. If we as a nation didn't have that entrepreneurial spirit that propels us to take risks and put our ideas forward. The idea that we can be anything we want and achieve our dreams is an American phenomena. Those ideals are more alive in America than anywhere else in the world because we are bound by our cultural values: freedom and individual rights. And we couldn't continue as a superpower unless as a nation we didn't have a natural instinct to not only survive, but to reaffirm our place in the world.He will nominate sound judges (most of the time) but never make the case that Roe v. Wade needs to be overturned because it is the cornerstone of the left's profoundly destructive jurisprudence of judicial supremacy. He will stand against federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research but never articulate the strong libertarian basis for that stand or attack the callous disdain his political opponents show for the inherent value of human life. He will say as little as humanly possible about the drive for "gay marriage."
Unlike any current or former president named Bush, Rudy Giuliani has never been afraid to appall the left. He may very well be ideally situated to puncture two of the left's most cherished idiocies and hand social conservatives near total victory in the long-running culture war.
That's why I am confident that the GOP will nominate Rudy, and I'm more confident still that the nation will elect Rudy to be our next president. Why? Because Rudy is the man we need today. We don't need a soft, almost apologetic President to conduct the presidency. We need a strong individual who has the capability to even be ruthless sometimes. We need someone who will fight for us. He might not agree 100% with us conservatives, maybe not even 80%, but the remaining 70% makes clear that he will fight for us and won't let us down. And that's why am supporting Rudy, and that's why he is going to win.
Hillary or Obama won't fight the terrorists, and our social conservatism is meaningless if our existence is at mercy of the enemy. Rudy is the man for this time - and as a nation (note I am not referring to groups or particular individuals) we'll make the right choice, because as Americans we instinctively know who can get the job done.
