BUSH BLUNDERS ARE HARD TO KEEP UP WITH
By Pastor Chuck Baldwin May 12, 2003 NewsWithViews.com The foibles and follies of this administration are too numerous to count. With the exception of Monica Lewinsky, they rival anything in the previous administration. Of course, most neocons refuse to notice. Therefore, this column will also be ignored. However, for those who are interested in the truth, here are some of the latest examples of Bush's blunders: *Bush threw his support behind a liberal Republican who supports increased taxes, abortion and additional gun control to be a Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. That man is Illinois Governor Jim Edgar. Thankfully, Edgar decided to not seek the nomination, but that didn't stop Bush from doing his best to send another liberal to Washington, D.C. Next, watch for Bush to do the same thing in California. *Bush continues his support for the Clinton-Gore gun ban enacted back in 1994. Despite objections from gun groups, including the National Rifle Association, the President is determined to re-institute the so-called "assault weapons" ban that is scheduled to sunset next year. So much for Bush being "pro-gun." *As Commander-In-Chief, President Bush has the authority to establish guidelines and policies for our nation's military. When Bill Clinton became President, he implemented the infamous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the U.S. armed forces. Bush has continued that policy. Clinton also introduced women to front-line combat roles. And true to form, Bush continues this reprehensible Clinton policy. In fact, one would be extremely hard-pressed to find any Clinton policy that Bush has reversed! I can't think of a single one. *NAFTA and GATT came into existence early in the Clinton administration. Bush continues those polices and even wants to expand them. He has proposed expanding this agreement throughout the Americas and is now calling for a Mideast Free Trade agreement. Say good-bye to more American jobs; say hello to more foreign goods and to more foreign workers. *Bush is determined to oversee the creation of a Palestinian state. After sending American soldiers to fight and die in an undeclared war against Iraq, Bush wants to create another such country by giving the P.L.O. radicals their own nation. Clinton wanted to do the same thing, of course, but was shouted down by conservatives. Today, those same conservatives sit mute and dumb as Bush sets about to finish what Clinton started. *Speaking of finishing what Clinton started, Bush successfully created the Department of Homeland Security and the totalitarian-laced USA Patriot Act. There is an even more egregious version currently worming its way into law. All this was the brainchild of Bill Clinton, of course. However, he could not accomplish his pernicious plans because conservatives and Republicans would not support them. Now they do. *Bush is likely to invoke Executive Privilege in order to continue the cover-up about what he and other top government leaders knew prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Some thirty days prior to the attacks, Bush reportedly received a CIA Intelligence Report which warned, "The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning." More details are leaking out almost daily. A Democratic Presidential contender, Senator Bob Graham of Florida, says Bush knows much more than he is telling and is demanding that the administration come clean about what really took place. Before that happens, however, Bush will claim Executive Privilege and the truth will be covered up once again. |
Done reading it? Point proven.
I stopped right here..
Why not take your battles in order of the Amendments to our Constitution? How about 1 and 2? They're both under attack, and your President (whom I unfortunately voted for and contributed to) supports those attacks?
Which battles are you waiting for?
Oh, and since you've already moved to personal attacks rather than defending your position, I'd just like to add that you don't seem like much of a Conservative to me.
Bush has outsmarted his opponents at every turn. If you and your preacher friend think that you can get a candidate elected that holds your views, you are living in Neverland. It "ain't gonna happen."
We got where we are by incrementalism and that is the only way we will get back to where we belong. Be patient and re-elect President George W. Bush.
Perhaps you should choose a topic and stick to it on one thread rather than lump every issue together and expect complete discussion in one post.
I'm sure you *never* voted for Bush in 2000.
And it's obvious that you are the exact type of person I was referring to. So, I'll just add your name to the list of people that I'll just chuckle at, and move on. Although no promises; there are a few who I post to when I can't take it any more.
Yes, very good work. You earned a solid "A".
