I challenge you to list some defense contractors that work for free. You clam that President Bushes "strong stance in the face of international terror has kept us safe," but you don't seem to realize that the strong stance carries with it a big price tag! The so-called "outrageous spending" was out of necessity.
Paying to keep the elderly on tranquilizers and uppers, will be out of military necessity? Getting the Federal Government deeper into education is out of necessity? Funding drugs for AIDS patients in Africa is out of necessity?
Tell me, please, just what the necessity is to have the American taxpayers, rather than Iraqi oil, pay to rebuild Iraq?
And yet, I might be willing to cut the President slack on all of that, if he had shown any interest at all, in his immigration policy, in preserving traditional America. He is either completely unable to understand that who lives in a country determines the nature of the society, or he simply doesn't care! Personally, I have nothing at all against the Mexican people. They are one nation, we are another. Every nation has a personality, as it were. That is determined by the characteristics of its people. And if Bush understands this, he shows no interest in facing the obvious consequences. His policy is right out of the parlor pink theories of the Academic Left during his school days, and I no longer care whether that is because he was converted to their pursuit of an undistinguished, interchangeable humanity, or was intimidated by it.
What he offers, now, is not what they fought for; not the America won at Yorktown, and sanctified by the blood, sweat, toil and tears, of all the decent Americans in every generation since.
