Read the quotes by George W. Bush back up the thread, and then explain to me how they're better. He's leading the charge for an internationalist, socialist government of NGO's, corporations, and bureaucracies. Ultimately the NGO's will be the losers, is my guess, they just don't realize it yet -- but they'll supply a lot of the wonkery and manpower to make the changeover to oligarchic, palace government possible, and their personnel will supply a lot of the slots in the remorselessly expanding supranational (they wish) bureaucracies.
They're all looking at us like we're dinner, hoss. What's good about that?
Much of the ballyhoo of 911 for homeland defense is worrisome but lawmakers climbed all over each other to see who could do more to make(the people) safe, in their warm little beds. This is what I saw! Not a, grow the government on the backs of the people senario.
I guess it is a matter of perception. That is why I stay away from any organized political group of any kind. I don't like to be inundated with partisan rancor and positions.
I find myself in agreement with 90% of the positions that JBS takes. The 10% that is left, makes it impossible for me to support them. Same goes for all of them. I am about 90% in aggreement with the republican party as well but the political realities of split houses of congress is making any real progress impossible. I suppose your perception of this fact is that republicans have lost their way and are traitors to the conservative cause.
Perceptions can and are being manipulated by many with a hidden axe to grind. I prefer to be carefull.
