"Had Bush fired every single Clinton appointee"
That was his biggest mistake. He should have sacked everyone of them.
By reading some of these pretentious posts, it appears even some so-called conservatives have drank the looney liberal kool-aid. I think Dubya doin just fine and will NOT allow the left leaning propoganda to infest my clear thinking. Thankya, Dubya.
You got that right!
I think Dubya is too nice, FRankly. By all reports, he was raised to be and is, a gentleman. It is very, very difficult for a gentleman to kick ass and take names.
FRankly, I was hoping that he would show up as a fighter pilot FRom time to time during his Presidency. Fighter pilots, as you know, are trained to kick ass and take names. He has not done that as often as he needed to or as often as I hoped he would.
The first 100 days of his Presidency would have been a damn fine time show up as a fighter pilot (at least on his inside game) and to have kicked every Democrat ass out of the Executive Branch of our government!
At his level, being a gentleman is expected and required, but kicking some ass and taking a lot of names is also necessary, and Dubya has not shown much affinity for that sport!
The FRee world has suffered because of Dubya's tendency to follow bad advice FRom his "Inside the Evil Beltway" advisors as opposed to his own instincts, which I think are better than the ITEB advisors!
Bump!
Right...
Everything is fine...
Very true.
All current indications are that we are going to sit and dither all the way up to the point that Iran has nuclear weapons - if they don't already.
Allowing Iran to go nuclear is a serious failure on our part that we and Israel will pay for dearly. History will not judge us kindly for letting it happen on our watch.
You say everything is 'adrift'.......I say, it seems that way to you, but you are wrong..........and you counter with "Right......Everything is fine."
There is a giant chasm between "We are adrift" and "Everything is fine"
Or didn't you notice that?
I don't believe for a minute that Bush has one knee on the canvas,
BUT
for those who do,
some cliches might be helpful here: It's always darkest before the dawn.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is the war on global terror defeated in 24 hours, no matter how impatient the non-soldiers get.
The youthful sheeherder, David, was called from following the sheep to kill the lion and the bear (he succeeded), then to slay a giant (he succeeded), then to be a king, and was even anointed by the prophet Samuel for that reason. What followed? A short time of favor before the reigning king, Saul, followed by Saul spending the next several years trying to kill him. God's call on David's life succeeded; Saul's determination to kill him did not succeed.
W does not have anything to fear but God, and he does that quite well.
I think it was Oswald Chambers who wrote (imprecise quote): Show me a man who fears people and I'll show you a man who fears everything else. Show me a man who fears God, and I'll show you a man who fears nothing else.
W is on the right side of that line.
Blogger -- thanks for the prayer ping.
I'm not familiar with the author's, John L. Perry, writing but he reads like he needs to up his meds.
" For God [has NOT given] us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of POWER, of love, and of self-discipline." - II Timothy, 1:7
Looks like I'm not the only one seeing this.
What's the so-called truth about his grand vision of Homeland Security that includes shaking down gray-haired white folks in airports yet leaves the borders so porous that any number of murderers, rapists, drug dealers, thieves, etc. continue to wreak havoc while "terrorizing" innocent Americans?
The numbers of people in this country that've been terrorized by these cretins who shouldn't even be here far outnumbers those poor souls from 9-11, OKC, etc......where's the fedgov's concern for those folks?
That doesn't mean he doesn't need extra prayer right now, but he's not down on one knee, and the situation is not as dire as this doom and gloom article makes it sound.
He's the one God has entrusted to get us through these times, and there's a reason for that. He's up to the challenge.
The only intelligent thing to do is to screen everyone, and I for one, am glad that they're doing it............even the gray haired white folks.

I thought we were talking truth here.......what's the answer to his lack of attention to saving the quality of life for those people in border states?....this is not an attack but it's a very, very critical subject that affects peoples lives across the country every day. He and his admin. advisors do not seem to understand the seriousness of what's going on down there.
One can disagree with the methods being implemented to secure the borders, and one can believe that not nearly enough is being done, but I completely resist the idea that he has done nothing, and that his border policy negates everything else he has successfully done to keep us safe for five years.
So, since you clearly have that opinion, I'm not sure how much can be accomplished by continuing this discussion.
Besides which, it's not really on topic, is it?
