"If the Reagan Revolution is not dead, then it's dying." If there was a model that the Bush administration used in establishing itself, it was the Reagan presidency. But now Bush is advancing the Democrats' most liberal agenda items..."

Nonsense.

GWB killed the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming, for one. GWB pulled the U.S. out of the CCCP-U.S. ABM Treaty, for another (something Reagan never did, btw).

GWB backed and got our National Missile Defense program funded.

GWB Killed the International Criminal Court.

GWB repealed Clinton's CO2 rules that were choking off electricity production in California and causing electricity rates to spike.

GWB repealed OSHA's new ergonomic regulations that were about to put every home-based business in America out of commission.

GWB appointed Ashcroft and Ted Olsen, who just wrote to the Supreme Court that the 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right, not the "collective right" that liberals have maintained for decades.

GWB signed the bill into law that gives pilots the right to arm themselves with firearms, a pleasant pro-gun victory on a national level.

GWB killed the Left-Wing ABA's role in vetting federal judges for Congress (again, something so Conservative that even Reagan himself wouldn't do).

GWB instituted the first top-down review of our military in years, which concluded (prior to 9/11), that asymmetric attacks were our biggest future threat.

GWB killed the $11 Billion Crusader artillery boondoggle.

GWB killed federal funding of foreign "family planning" activities.

GWB ordered the Justice Department to finally enforce the SCOTUS Beck decision, giving union workers the right to recover any of their union dues that are used for political purposes with which they disagree.

And Rush? Rush Limbaugh said that Hillary Clinton wouldn't run for the Senate.

Well, Southack said that she would, and Southack was RIGHT about that, not Rush.

Rush seems to think that killing the Kyoto Treaty is somehow "advancing the Democrats' most liberal agenda" (Rush's words, not mine).

Nonsense. Killing Kytoto would NOT have been done by a liberal, and certainly NOT by Mr. Earth in the Balance Gore.

Gore wasn't going to pull the U.S. out of the Soviet-U.S. ABM treaty, either.

Perhaps Rush has forgotten what a liberal looks like, but Southack knows that liberals like the ABA vetting federal judges for Congress and passing CO2 regulations for electricity power plants, both things that President Bush has killed in little more than a year in office.

Hey Rush, what's your new prediction about Hillary? Care to match it up against mine?

I didn't think so...

GWB Killed the International Criminal Court. Hardly... it takes more than just one nation's vote to kill the ICC, and at last count, there was a net of 65 countries voting for it, right? Hardly a "kill", don't you think?

[TLBSHOW]

The things I said in the audio clips below were not easy to say - but then, nobody ever said it would be easy to stick to your principles. So here goes: The Reagan Revolution appears to be dead, folks. The run on the U.S. Treasury is now beyond dispute - anybody is free to grab whatever they want. Maybe this does eliminate issues on which the Democrats can run, but it also puts a dagger in the throat of limited government.

The farm bill was signed. Now we move on to prescription drugs, and then we'll move on to taking more money from one group of taxpayers to buy votes from another group. The days of Reagan dropping that giant federal budget on the podium during the State of the Union, and using it as a prop for intruding on your freedoms, are gone. The Christian Science Monitor has a story about the first George Bush's influence on his son, and about the disappointment among conservatives over all this spending.

Bush could create an army of supporters who would do whatever they could to recruit more and more supporters, and the Democrats couldn't hope to beat him. We'd be looking at picking up a handful of seats in the Senate, instead of reading that Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) thinks that only a single seat will change hands - and not necessarily for us. Dr. Frist lashed out at Tom Daschle, who he said has become a rallying flag that symbolizes obstructionism of this president's vision of America. Imagine if Bush mounted this kind of offensive.

We have nothing to show for the prosperity of the '90s - except bigger, more intrusive government. Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, lists the goodies that the White House has doled out. But Karl Rove (whose expanding role is causing some in the White House to "grumble" according to the New York Times) doesn't buy this criticism from conservatives - maybe he's in that camp that figures the base won't go anywhere else.

Folks, we have a man in the White House who has developed a huge bond of loyalty with the people. He has them in the palm of his hand, yet never uses them. He's never dishonest. He has an opportunity that doesn't come along very often - an opportunity to expand the number of people who believe as he does. Instead, we're giving in on things like the farm bill, and people on our own side, like Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), are criticizing Bush over immigration policies.

We have an obligation to pass this nation on to our children with the same opportunities and freedom we enjoy. I don't care what tax rates the rest of the world pays - taking this money away and raising taxes reduces our freedom. Our government wasn't built to make us all wards of the state. That just doesn't work, yet it's what we're getting. If we can't cut taxes and limit spending now, when can we?

South.... thanks for the listing.... well done. MaybeRush is still smarting because he hasn't gotten his Lincoln Bedroom sleepover invitation like he got from X41. Or maybe there is something the Rangers did to the Royals that messed in his post toasties....

GWB killed the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming, for one.

It ain't dead yet.

GWB Killed the International Criminal Court.

That isn't even close to dead. It's alive and will haunt us.

GWB appointed Ashcroft and Ted Olsen, who just wrote to the Supreme Court that the 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right, not the "collective right" that liberals have maintained for decades.

Ashcroft has been a big dissapointment. And why do they NOT want a SCOTUS ruling, instead of just a policy statement that is as easily changed as a crusty pant suit?

GWB signed the bill into law that gives pilots the right to arm themselves with firearms, a pleasant pro-gun victory on a national level.

Where is the implementation of this law? His hacks have not followed through.

GWB killed the Left-Wing ABA's role in vetting federal judges for Congress (again, something so Conservative that even Reagan himself wouldn't do).

Maybe, but where is his support for his nominees?

GWB instituted the first top-down review of our military in years, which concluded (prior to 9/11), that asymmetric attacks were our biggest future threat.

Yet he leaves in place all of the sinkmaster's deployments and covers up his criminality.

GWB killed the $11 Billion Crusader artillery boondoggle.

A lot of conservatives favor the system.

GWB killed federal funding of foreign "family planning" activities.

Again, ain't dead yet.

Rush's points are quite valid. Advancing the agenda of the national socialists isn't exactly moving the country in a conservative direction. He has played cuddle pony with the demoscum far too much for me.

Thank You!, My opinion of Rush Limbaugh is that he is a showman, (PERIOD) Why don't Rush Limbaugh wattle his fat ass down and put himself on the ballot if he thinks he has all the answers. HE won't though, because he would have to present a income disclosure. And right now he is raking in the Liberal bucks just like Laryy Klayman is.

President Bush has faced what he calls the Trifecta of emergencies since he became President - the recession, the attack of Sept 11, and War. I think he is thinking about using his "capital, his bully pulpit" in saving our country, not just a balance sheet. He wants the right judges on the Bench and a Republican majority Senate is really critical to getting judges passed. Everything else is secondary.

Think where our country will go if the Supreme Court gets any more 'activist.'

[Rowdee]

Before you get all jacked up about the ABA.......you do realize that the Democratic controlled Senate is having the ABA give them vetting reports via the Judiciary committee?

Also, as it regards Ashcroft/Olson and the RKBA....Ashcroft may have said the best thing next to what the Founders felt, and Olson may have written this into his argument as it regards the case before the USSC.....however, Olson, also asked the court that this not be argued at this time........so, when is a good time to argue this argument? Perhaps when there is a new administration who is anti 2nd amendment?

[rintense]

Thank you for your post! You posted some items I had completely forgotten! Thread has been bookmarked for future reference. Thanks again!

[Ben Ficklin]

Regarding your list of Bush's conservative accomplishments, it is important to notice that they are mainly in the area that he did not need the consent of Congress. With the exception of prosecuting the war and dealing with Domestic Terrorism, the 107th has been un co-operative.

The Republicans have not held the Congress and the Presidency since 1953-55. They held the Senate and the Presidency in 1981-87. The House and Senate in 1995-01. Bush, of course, will have had the in House 2001-03. Pundits are saying this will not change at mid-term.

[Ann Archy]

Thanks for the Reminders..... I was going WOBBLY!

[wku man]

If not for Limbaugh, there'd be no conservative movement as we know it today.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Bravo! Add to your list President Bush's speech re: Cuba. Castro - set your people free!!!
