Rush has a good point -- and I'm an admirer of President Bush.

Americans didn't elect the man because of his personal charm, but to stand for certain principles and to put them into action. If we approve of everything he does, regardless of whether or not it's in line with the principles we were led to believe he shared with us, how are we different from the lefties who cheered Clinton on regardless of everything he did?

George W. Bush is an enormous improvement over Bill Clinton, and I'm glad to have him in the Oval Office... which doesn't mean I'm not going to hold him to his word. Having a lot of conservatives scowling at him when he departs from conservative principles could well help to keep him faithful to those principles. Getting nothing but approval, in contrast, could persuade him that it doesn't matter what policies he adopts.

"Getting nothing but approval, in contrast, could persuade him that it doesn't matter what policies he adopts."

I agree. Isn't there something in the New Testament to the effect of the Lord Jesus saying "Woe to you when the world loves you?" Any time we find our enemies liking what we say and schmoozing us without revulsion, we should know that we are in danger of compromising our principles. Better to have all the enemies as ENEMIES, than to have some of them as friends.

It takes that much to be an enormous improvement over Bill Clinton? Meanwhile, while Mr. Bush might not have committed have the foreign policy nefarity of Mr. Clinton, the fact remains that while he is producing a predominantly bravura performance (predominantly but not exclusively, as witness the Middle East) around the world, he is also doing nothing to abort the continuing metastasis of the suprerogatory State, and the continuing deconstruction of the Constitution and its prescription of minimal, properly construed government.
