Man am I glad this is just part of some bigger plan we're not aware of yet < /sarcasm>. Would somebody tell me, besides the war on terrorism (which is getting a bit big for its britches to me), what ten things Bush has done that even resembles conservative thought?

They can't. That's precisely why they call all people who question Bush's methods Democratic Underground plants. They either do that or sit on their little "A Day in the Life of President Bush" threads and talk about how sexy the president looks in his jeans or how steely his eyes seem. They are no better than the Clinton sycophants.

A year ago, on a fishing trip, one of the guys, who thinks he is a socialist, asked what we all thought of the new president, so far. My reply was that he was further to the left than I had expected.

But, I'm still hoping...

for the record I'm angry at Bush too. Like Rush I think Bush is blowing an opportunity to advance the conservative agenda.

Off the top of my head, (so I'm sure that I am missing some things) I would like to point out that Bush:
1. re-instated the Mexico City Policy (pro-life)
2. killed that stupid enviromental treaty.
3. withdrew from the anti-missle defense treaty
4. started working on missle defense
5. Is begining a process of military reform.
6. Is begining to withdrawl women from combat.
7. Did cut taxes
8. Did nominate a lot of conservative judges.
9. Did express support for Taiwan - really PO'd the Chicoms.
10. Did/has a more pro-Israel policy than clinton did.

Keep in mind that a lot of Conservative victories will be done behind the scenes. For example there is a committee in the Defense Dept for women in the military. Under Clinton it engaged and promoted radical social engineering. Not anymore, the clinton people are gone, and the committee's mission has been changed so that it cannot comment on women in the military let alone combat.

That's too easy!

* secured passage through Congress of a $1.35 trillion tax cut
* gave working American's $100 billion stimulus tax cut
* largest increases in military spending since Reagan (14+% in 2003 budget)
* signed two military two pay raises; increased medical/housing benefits
* threw out the Kyoto protocol
* disposed of the ABM Treaty
* pro-life, anti-abortion President
* publically called for a right to life amendment to US Constitution
* eliminated taxpayer funding of overseas abortions
* has openly and strongly supported Taiwan
* designated N.Korea, Iran and Iraq, the Axis of Evil
* secured initial funding for a NMDS (SDI)
* promoted increases for off shore oil drilling
* strongly advocates drilling in ANWR
* pushed for building more nuclear power plants
* advocates reducing US dependency on oil imports
* repealed/froze many last minute Clinton EO`s
* proposed partial privatization of Social Security
* offered faith-based alternatives to traditional welfare
* stopped gov't funding for further destruction of human embryo's
* nominated conservative judges to the federal bench
* recognized 2ND amendment/RKBA as individual right, fully constitutional
* told Cuba/Castro trade embargo stays
* turned Russia into a strategic partner of the USA
* returned honor, dignity and trust to the Presidency
* has done an outstanding/remarkable job, leading America in the war on terrorism.

And in less then 17 months too.

Now tell me, how has the war on terrorism, gotten too big for its britches, for you that is? Can't wait to hear this explanation.
