Where is the morality or rightness in borrowing money from one foreign country, on the credit of future generations of Americans, only to turn around and give it away to another foreign country?
If you--or any other Freeper--took out credit cards in your childrens' names, without their consent, and took cash advances to make charitable donations, you would be arrested and charged with theft and fraud.
And there's nothing conservative about theft and fraud, unless of course, conservatism is really just rebadged progressivism.
Is it?
“Where is the morality or rightness in borrowing money from one foreign country, on the credit of future generations of Americans, only to turn around and give it away to another foreign country?”
I think you are confused...President Bush did not borrow money from a foreign country...other than from the normal T-bill auctions.
We all share a right to life that is a gift from God. Accepting that each life has value and rights is very conservative. Indeed, conservatism begins with that basic principle. President Bush understands that very well and stood tall for life at every juncture.
The morality is saving lives and befriending nations with mercy and compassion. Africa and America are better off from President Bush’s conservative compassion.
I find it amazing that people blame President Bush for increasing the deficit...do you guys live in a vacuum? Do you realize we are fighting a war on terror and that he inherited a recession as he came into office?
He also had to bring the military back up to standard after it had been gutted during the Clinton era.
Besides, congress does the spending...not the President. I don’t agree with everything President Bush did but I do understand that he is probably one of the greatest Presidents this nation has had.
