Dutch Anti-Immigrant Party Leader Slain by Left-Wing Extremist

"Rush and David Limbaugh's recent defections from the Bush cheerleader camp have been most heartening and show that the conservative cause is making progress. "

David wrote another non kool-aid column last week, kinda like his stem cell column. Perhpas there is life on mars.

In the UK 1919 - 1940, they had their faux "Conservatives," champions of know nothingism, passive-aggressive foreign policy backed by limp wristed, ineffective, declining military strength, and maestros of domestic cultural decline and nihilism. An inexcusable corruption of the meaning and true intent of Conservatism and Rightism in general. And of course, today we've got ours, even right here on this here forum! ;)

You're talking about crumbs, not the bulk of Bush/GOP policies. I'm as conservative as anyone on this site, maybe more so, because I believe in results, not bellyaching and complaining. (Those are not Christian practices either). You and all the rest of these so-called "conservatives" can moan and groan, while I try to put into practice the most conservative policies that are possible. We'll see on judgment day who was full of hot air and who used the limited tools at hand to effect maximum results. I won't be given 100%, but I will get far more credit then you people who vomit up negative after negative after negative thing to say about the GOP. What is the alternative? The Constitution party? The Reform party? Or the party that parades itself as a conservative alternative while supporting abortion, legalization of drugs, and other causes inimical to conservatives and Christians, aka the Libertarian party? You extremists have a lot of hot air, but that is ALL you have. You have NO solutions, only endless complaints. You would not be happy no matter WHAT government rules, so why even try to rationally and logically discuss anything with you at all? It's best to ignore you completely. There is nothing to be learned from you except being a irresponsible malcontent, and anyone can do that!!!

When its over and done, we will see who was an authetic conservative, and who was not. And thankfully, that jugdment will not be yours or any other person on this site.....

You left two more George W. Bush apostasies off your list. It is indeed a dismal list. However, I don't think "W" could have helped Mark Earley. Only Earley could help Mark Earley, and he refused to use the ammunition that he had available.

G.W. also let stand the bILLclinton requirement that military hospitals offer abortions. He let stand the clinton notion that federally-subsidized family planning clinics must offer abortion as an alternative to women seeking counseling. Even his father was more conservative on abortion than "W." And his fathe, with the blessing of the gullible John Sununu, gave us David Souter!

Actually, polls conducted subsequent to the election showed that had Bush campaigned with Mark Earley, the Republicans could have sweeped both the Governorship and Lt Governorship of the Commonwealth of Virginia last year. When Bush took office I was deeply troubled that he repealed only one of Clinton's four pro-abortion executive orders which he signed on the first day of his Presidency to reward his militant pro-abortion feminist constituency. Most "pro-lifers", who seem to lack any historical memory praised him as a great pro-life President for this action and a subsequent action to repeal the ban on federal funding for the ghastly harvesting of stem cells from aborted babies, which is reminiscent of the Nazi Dr. Mangele's research.

Anyway, I am very happy to see that another pro-life conservative besides myself remembers the Clinton pro-abortion executive orders that Bush failed to repeal. As you said proof positive that George HW Bush was a decisively more pro-life President than is George W. Bush! What is most maddening of all is the willful blindness of so many people on Free Republic who will defend even Bush's evisceration of the Republican Party's ability to win elections, let alone his failure to support a pro-life agenda for the country! They would sooner follow Bush off a cliff than dare offer the least bit of constructive criticism of his policies. They might as well live in a Marxist country where criticism is not permitted for their Commie-lib smear attacks on those conservatives like us who dare criticize Bush's liberal policies! Their smear tactics and name-calling of more principled conservatives is reminiscent of apologists for the Communist tyranny who called those who criticized Communism a greater threat to humanity than the Communist mass murderers themselves!

In the last legislative battle, a lone Senator, Byrd of West Virginia, mounted what will go down in history as a valient rear guard fight to awaken the American People to the Bush danger. The bill was stripped of it's dastardly anti-American amendment.

Byrd had nothing to do with 245(i) being removed from the Border Security bill.

There were two versions of the bill. One with 245(i) and one without 245(i).

Daschle knew 245(i) would not pass, so the version without 245(i) was the one brought to the floor and voted on.
