Gotta tell you something, people. Other than listening to the demons wail about the deficit, what difference has it made in any of your lives? None. Interest rates have not gone up. The Medicare reform bill has the rats climbing the wall because it is the first step towards its OWN slow death. Even G-d kept the Jews wandering in the wilderness until the whole generations of them that knew slavery were dead. So now, seniors have a prescription program and younger workers will have private health accounts. It took the dems a gazillion years to try to make everyone in the USA a slave to government and take over US healthcare bit by bit. This year it would have been fully government run if Gore had made it to Pennsylvania Avenue. Bush is unraveling their dream of the world under Marx.
Are you watching the teachers' union howling at the moon? They can't teach, so they blame the kids for not being able to learn. Bush gave them their chance. They are blowing it big-time. The more they try and steal our kids, the harder we fight, and the more they scream. But it will have its end and it will be under a Bush presidency. We need good minds to have better goals. No one knows that better than he does. The dems are freaking out over *No Child Left behind* because if a teacher can't teach, he/she has got to go. The dems would protect these stupid, moneygrubbers at any cost including the cost of your children's education.
Privatization of ALL healthcare is paramount if we are to maintain the best healthcare system in the world. The dems have run doctors out of practice, turned insurance companies into beancounters, claimed that pharmaceutical companies, which have given us virtually many more years to live, vile, filthy creatures who stalk the weak and the poor. Now, the first step back towards freedom is being looked at and whined about as if you so-called conservatives were personally wounded and the bleeding will never stop. The truly wounded are the democrats who see their phoney, dark, delusional world exposed to the unforgiving light of the truth. They are losing...but will you give credit? This is too pathetic. Do you let others do your thinking now?
What exactly about the immigration reform has you so riled up? You are jumping to so many bogus conclusions, I don't even know where to start. You call it amnesty, and I ask you WHEREIN lies the amnesty? Is it not a fact that no illegal will be able to get a job unless Americans expressly turn it down? And is it not further fact that Americans will receive better training for BETTER jobs because SOMEBODY believes that we have better brains and can learn better skills to come up with better ideas, instead of having the sugah-daddy dems giving everyone handouts and more unemployment compensation so they WOULDN'T go back to work. Don't you realize that only prolonged the recovery, not helped it, or me, or you? Do you realize that maybe, just maybe, some of the jobs illegals take right now will henceforth be open to our American teenagers who lost them to 40 and 50 year old illegals flipping burgers, training jobs, entry level jobs, jobs that taught our kids what it meant to have a work ethic and some responsibilty so they can stop expecting us to spoil them half to death. If they want a $150.00 pair of silly shoes, let them but them themselves. If they want a car, a little hard work never hurt anyone. Or has it truly escaped you that Americans First means young Americans as well? THIS takes a generation as well but like liberals everywhere, yesterday seems to be much too late. Well, where were you when all these things were building up? I asked someone a few years ago, right here on this board. He said "Sure, I think about it, but...I have a family and can't afford to do the right thing.
Now, Bush does the right thing, depriving no one of anything, and the crocodile tears are starting to make Conservatives look more and more like the libs with their hands constantly extended.
Are you stopping in your misplaced anger at President Bush to realize that terrorists damaged us in an excruciating way, but if Gore, or any of his ilk would have been president, they would have seized on that moment to finalize their control over us in ways that should make you thank the Lord for Bush. Gun control would be a gun ban period. We would probably be under martial law, our government would be gone, and our soldiers would be patroling OUR streets while Bin Laden was enjoying French hospitality. The Islamist State Department would be busily going about installing some form of sharia law by now. Do you want to be Canada? Then go the hell there and stop calling yourselves conservatives, because you ain't.
If you were truly conservatives, you would be stopping to think about the freedom you DIDN'T lose. We are at war. They aren't here, WE are there. You would realize that fully one fourth of the US was on fire almost at the same time. We've had megafloods. The Clinton Administration cooked the Stockmarket books to give the illusion of prosperity. Bush has unraveled the tangled yarn and then some. Do you think that was cheap? Do you realize that President Bush rolled back many of the insane enviroweenie laws that caused all that, and because of it, logging can happen again. Oil drilling can begin again. Care will be taken to stop the kind of corrupt and corrupted opposing environmental laws that did nothing to help the environment, but it sure helped to line the pockets of the UN believers of the world and their science of unreality and fishy fantasy.
Are you so nonsatisfiable that you don't realize that the man from Texas stood and faced down the UN so that they can't even get a paragraph ratified because he has them running in circles and has not much to do with the terrorists and crooks who run the damb place.
We have a good man as President. He will be even better with a bigger majority in the House and Senate. Anyone else who is, or might run, will NEVER be able to accomplish what Bush has already accomplished, and he isn't done yet...and there is NO SUCH THING as instant gratification. All that leads to his horrors down the road...like Medicare was before this reform.
I guess to some of these people a Kerry or demo Presidency is good enough.
Anyway earlier in this thread you were freaking out about alienating the people who are going Constitution or Libertarian. they can't be alienated there out to alienate people who don't agree with them 100%. It was the same thing in 2000 on FR. Bush supporters outnumber the third paritiers by 8 to 1.
You may go on with your flame war.
It's been said that one conservative does the work of ten.
Question: Why does one conservative do the work of ten on a general election campaign?
Answer: Because the other nine conservatives didn't bother to show up.
Yeah right. These people have their minds made up over their one pet issue, IMO. I have said many times that the demos are worse and a Kerry presidency would be 1000 times worse to them than a Bush Presidency. The response I got back from one of them(Biker4Bush) on another thread was Kerry is only a concern to the people of Massachusetts, thus washing his hands of the reality and positions of one of the two people who has a viable chance at the Presidency(Kerry). Sorry I just get tired of dealing with people who are not into the modern day reality of the politics.
And Missouri, resident expert on the subject
Just an opinion from someone who takes his one vote seriously.
Come Nov., I'd bet the freepers who are saying that they won't vote for President Bush will hold their noses and vote for him because John Kerrys mug shot and record will be in our faces via the media and that alone will motivate people to vote against this Ted Kennedy surrogate.
In the meantime let the debate go on about President Bush's negatives and pluses. I for one think he's wrong to grant legal status/amnesty to illegal aliens or sending 15 billion dollars in AID's money to Africa. This doesn't make me a "demon". I work with a bunch of democrats and they are no fun to debate with because they have no sense of history or knowledge of how our government works or they have their tin foil hat on so tight it cuts the circulation off to their brains. I'm surly not going to learn anything from them but debate amongest ourselves is usually quite stimulating.
There is an old saying. "If you want to hide something from a democrat, put it in a book".
Exactly, but there are some on FR who think the real prize is a Kerry presidency, so they can complain even more and wallow in their morose state that their world isn't perfect.
I'm done, had to get that out.
Of course WWII ended.
Do you see any end to the growth of behemoth govt?
I am real, I know that a Kerry Presidency would be 1000 times worse on immigration, spending, taxes, and the 2nd amendment.
I point that out to some on FR and they don't want to hear the reality.
Excellent post. Another prime example of the ability of pragmatic conservatives to see the big picture. This post is a keeper.
