After 9-11, we focused more on international issues and terrorism, not a bunch of other stuff. We did withdraw from the ICC. Now, I would say we need to watch Bush, but as of right now, I don't think we can say he is turning left as a result of war popularity. If this continues with little conservative actions in the next six months to a year, I will have to rethink this and perhaps agree he is deciding that he won't be a conservative anymore.

I forgot to add the ICC pullout to my list of good things.

One thing that dawned on me while I was driving home from the youth football board meeting tonight. When I mentioned the reversal of the government's position on the 2nd amendment, several people harshed on me saying things along the lines of "those were just words that didn't change anything yet. Wake me when something actually changes". What dawned on me is that with this "flip-flop" it is the same thing.

I am being consistent in crediting him with the 2nd amendment change and being critical of this. But some of the bashers sure seem to want to say these words mean everything, but the words about the 2nd amendment mean nothing, even though in both cases nothing concrete has changed.

I am getting weary of the propagandists. It makes it very hard for a person to air legitimate concerns when there are a bunch of people rooting for the administration to betray conservatives harping on every little thing hoping to persue their own agenda.

Somehow, we need to find a way to take our site back from the propagandists.
