I am watching President Bush giving a speech on CNN telling us he is expanding federal government more than any Democrat since Truman.

We don't need to just keep posting, you are doing fine all by yourself.

"We attacked a sovereign nation"

We gave Afghanistan several opportunities to hand over the terrorists. You're a cheezy blowhard.

I've never met GWB but generally I think he is a good guy. My concern is that he is listening to advice from those with a globalist agenda.

And that gives you liberty to make up all this junk about him? You know darn well that he is (1) concerned about our national security, and (2) "reorganizing" government.

It makes you look so bad to be so intelletually dishonest when the root of your problem is the "globalism" issue.

This issue has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with "globalism."

Be mature and learn to tell the differene.

"I think that took a dent when the EPA released the global warming report, and the President disavowed it. The civil service may make weenies of every president. Being the head of the executive branch, to hear freepers tell it, doesn't really make you responsible for what they do. I don't know. It's getting weird. They didn't say that when Waco was burned to the ground."

A commander is responsible for the actions of his troops. whether good or bad. Global Warming did not kill over 5000 Americans.

I have read Presidential statements setting up various federal boards, specifically Reagan's New Federalism Initiative. It reads almost word for word like this one.

Tell that to the familes (sic) of the 9/11 victims, okay.

Sure, nice try. You know the real reason terrorists attacked us on our own soil, right?

ans: Our Gummint, not we the people.

Combining many departments together= less Government. Cost to operate combined departments= Lower: Duplication of procedures= Zero.

Class listen up. Mergers of organizations with contrary missions and goals = chaos. Choas = extra costs and more importantly no goals reached.

Merger of disparate companies is a recipe for disaster.

You're wrong again. You need to think before you type.

We attacked a sovereign nation

Should we apologize to Germany and Japan?

"elections have little bearing on freedom"

Tell that to my Cuban friends in Florida. Keep talking, because you are letting the cat out of the bag.

Good grief.

The reason the terrorists attacked us is because they're evil, insane, murderous a$$holes.

Get a grip.

"The FBI is actually allowed to observe people in public places, or on public web sites like any other human being is allowed to...and we got people shrieking that it's the end of the world for God's sake."

And you believe they weren't already doing this ? Sheesh, they didn't need the "Patriot Act" to do that! Could the ATF place an undercover agent into a "church" ? Sure they and other agencies already conduct covert ops. "The Patriot Act" is for gullible consumption.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The poor anti-globalist person discovers that their really are globalists out there and then concludes that everyone and every action is part of the larger plot.
