Are we really supposed to "support" the president when he signs a bill that cracks down on free speech and boosts support for political incumbents? Are we supposed to "support" the president when he increases education spending by epic proportions? Are we supposed to "support" the president when he champions legislation like the Patriot Act? Standing up for smaller government has nothing to do with party loyalty. Taking a tip from our president's stance on terrorism, let me just say that you are either for the Constitution or you are against it.

"Standing up for smaller government has nothing to do with party loyalty. " Unless the Republicans (big "R") actually own this site - or the Rush Limbaugh show, for that matter - as they apparently think they do.
Free Republic is not a GOP plantation, as much as they would like it to be so.

Thanks for the ping but as a Buchanan supporter, I don't know if I am allowed to comment. I don't even know if anyone has ever enumerated what a Free Republic 'grass roots conservatism is', is.
But I don't see much difference in Bush. All I can see is once he said that what Sharon was doing 'was unhelpful' all the 'conservative' pundits and posters have descended on him like ants on liverwurst.

It's definitely been a bad stretch for conservatives lately. I think lots of us are feeling it. It'd be nice to get some red meat. I am sure lots of folks are as surly about the President right now as you are. I am. Last night his face flashed on the tv screen, and without thinking I said, "Look at that guy" with a snarl in my voice, and my wife looked at me in amazement. "I'm not too happy with him lately," I told her. And I put on a movie and forgot about it.

I was never a big Bush fan. I didn't vote for him, but when he won the election I was happy to see it was him and not Gore. I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the guy is a liar - no better than Clinton when it comes to the truth. Also, hes willing to sacrifice our civil liberties so that already lazy detectives and ivestigators can be lazier. I just pray we can make it to the next election before he tries to tear any more pieces from the Constitution.
