Dubya pulled us out of Kyoto and the ICC. That's worth the price of admission right there. He also said "no" to cloning, stopped funding for international abortion clinics, is in the process of stopping funding for sex-education, to name just a couple of additional life-or-death issues.
I know one family who is about to lose a large farm because of death taxes. I need to read up on this farm bill, but if it keeps food-producing land in the hands of private property owners instead of defaulting to the government, I'm for it.
I'll be the first to admit that Bush II has been a vast improvement over his father and even in some respects over Reagan. But on the most substantial issues he still refuses to take a truly America First attitude. No mention of bringing home our troops from Japan, Korea etc. (blatantly unconstitutional, by the way), a tax cut that amounts to chump change and will soon be eclipsed by the farm monstrosity as grocery prices rise and no plan to get us out of the God awful UN.
