BUSH PROPOSES LARGEST EXPANSION OF GOVERNMENT SINCE TRUMAN

CNN ^ | 6/6/2002 | President

[UnBlinkingEye]

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

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

Okay, you (think) first.

Please exlain in vivid detail how homeland security is "globalism."

Give me your words and not some stupid link.

Just you and me. Go....

Global Warming did not kill over 5000 Americans.

Yet. But when it does it will be Bush's fault right ?

[AlGone2001]

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.

Men in Black. That sure was a great movie, except for the globalists.

"The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local Jihadists in line. Fear of this reorganization...."

Hilarious! Excellent Tarkin impersonation!

[lawdog]

Actually it has been cited with documentation that much of this "plan" came from the CFR.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

You know the real reason terrorists attacked us on our own soil, right?

Yes, because we are rich and powerful, and by their interpretation both Christian and corrupt. The fact that a lot of Jews are allowed to live here, despite your best efforts to the contrary, had something to do with it too

[PoppingSmoke]

"Yet. But when it does it will be Bush's fault right ?"

If it does and Bush was asleep, yes it would be his fault. Command is a lonely thing. If you can handle the frying pan then don't jump in.

I am sick of all the DU people on the freep, pretending to be disgruntled conservatives. I see right through them.

Yeah, you figured it our big guy. I am a liberal communist spy, and a card carrying Democrat.

[UnBlinkingEye]

Should we apologize to Germany and Japan?

Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor and through alliances Germany and Italy declared war against the U.S. Afghanistan never attacked us, they have the unfortunate geography that places them as the most opportune candidate for an oil pipeline.

[AlGone2001]

Not some political presidential directive that suports a political objective.

I can't wait for you to tell us all what the "political objective" is (concerning the USGC). Do tell. Be extremely and painfully specific. I am waiting.

It's so wonderful to be accused of being a twinkle-toed Communist when one questions the course our President takes. News flash - many, many members of this board are Conservatives that supported Bush in 2000, but now have serious concerns over the course of this presidency.

It is obvious that you have not studied the PA. The main thrust was on roving wire taps to bring the wiretap laws into line with the communications devices we did not have under the old laws. The PA only revised the existing law not write a new law, The PA also tightened the visa application, documentation and tracking requirements of existing INS law and likewise is a revision NOT new law. The PA also clearly laid out the definition of international and domestic terrorism. Many have latched on the "domestic" portion of the PA to say that it targets any group the government does not like. That is also untrue, it defines the responses to acts of terrorism within our boarders as they differ from "international” attacks on US interests abroad. The PA was a CLARIFICATION document not the mass of NEW laws people seem to think.

Thanks PhiKapMom! A good idea. It's simply a lot easier to SAY things in black and white than to get them ACCOMPLISHED in black and white. The dcay we see around us is what this President has been given to govern! (And hopefully change.)What a daunting task - every single institution has been degraded after the eight bad years and the even longer period of cultural decay. The rot even infected the People's (White) House. May God give our President Bush the strength and blessings needed to overcome all obstacles.

[sinkspur]

That's right.....you believe in a feeble God that can't ever accomplish his will when he wants to save someone.....

No. I believe in a powerful God who created men with free will and who allows them to make evil choices.

Nothing feeble about Him. God does not force "His Will" upon us.

Or, maybe you're a Calvinist and you think He does.

[Chunga]

How many times were you stillborn?

[Trailerpark Badass]

If the intelligence is accurate and the people they bust are creeps planning to fly airliners into buildings full of people...then what is the problem? It's the lack of intelligence, and pigs busting down the wrong doors that we don't want.

Well, for one thing, I don't call them "pigs." That being said, good luck with your delusions, hope they work out for you.

[UnBlinkingEye]

Thank you.

[VRWC_minion]

the U.S. Afghanistan never attacked us,

I knew it, I knew it. You really are selling us the "Chimp sold us out to his oil buddies".

You really ought to join DU. There you will find some common souls.
