BUSH PUSHES GORE PLAN FOR ORWELLIAN GOVERNMENT
Those who voted for G. W. Bush thinking they were getting a significantly different type of government from the Clinton-Gore years need to think again. Bush's proposal to consolidate federal law enforcement and civil defense capabilities is actually a replay of an old plan first submitted by Al Gore.
A June 10 CNS news report stated, "Some members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, were surprised by President Bush's proposed consolidation of federal law enforcement and civil defense capabilities under a new cabinet level Department of Homeland Security.
"But some are even more surprised to learn the plan has much in common with a nine-year-old idea hatched in the Clinton-Gore administration, which proposed a significant expansion of domestic police powers."
The report further stated, "Numerous components of President Bush's proposal, which were sketched out in a televised address last Thursday, are strikingly similar to a plan proposed by former Vice President Al Gore as part of the Clinton-Gore 'Partnership for Reinventing Government' in 1993."
The Bush-Gore plan to "reinvent government" is, in fact, nothing new. It is as old as tyranny itself - and that is exactly what the Bush-Gore plan is: a modern attempt to reinstall tyrannical government.
In the British newspaper, The Register, Thomas Greene states, "The real purpose (of Bush's proposal), clearly, is data acquisition, mining and manipulation on a gargantuan scale." He is right. Bush's reintroduction of the Clinton-Gore plan has shades of Hitler's SS corps. It is the beginning of a national police force in the United States.
Of course, when Al Gore submitted this plan back in 1993, vociferous opposition from the entire conservative community resisted it. As a result, the plan was summarily defeated.
However, things are different now. A Republican occupies the White House. Furthermore, the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington have created a "security-at-all-costs" mentality among the American people. Because of this, Bush will succeed in implementing the Clinton-Gore plan of freedom confiscation with little or no opposition.
What really takes the cake is the manner in which President Bush continues to coddle illegal aliens. He refuses to deport those whom U.S. law requires to be deported, he continues to promote the concept of granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, he refuses to take serious measures to keep likely terrorists out of our country, yet, he seems determined to thoroughly dismantle constitutional protection of our liberties.
What conservatives would have never surrendered to Al Gore, they seem happy to acquiesce to George Bush. However, the Clinton- Gore plan to eviscerate America's liberties smells as rotten (even worse) when George Bush regurgitates it! So, what has happened to conservatives' smellers?
I really would like to be wrong, but when people view the Constitution as a bunch of nonsense, on one hand, while singing the praises of what is being done, and not done, in the name of safety and security these days, leaves me with a bleaker than normal vision of the future.
Prayer, considering who the enemy really is, remains the most effective weapon.
Give one concrete example of constitutional damage this new cabinet poses.
You cannot provide with a single act by an illegal alien that has compromised national security.
Before you answer, name me a time in the history of the nation when people did not routinely cross the border illegaly.
This government hasn't done any of these things, it has only worked to impose restriction on the rights of the citizens of this country. If you have any evidence to the contrary, please let us all know about it. I didn't think so.
To his credit, Dubya has not included the BATF in this consolidation of "Homeland Defense" agencies and departments. That overzealous band of jack-booted tax-collectors needs the wind taken out of their sails.
I remain skeptical of Dubya's intent to defend our borders against illegal entrants, however.
Good summary of Bush's lack of regard for America's security from terrorism and sovereignty as a nation.
Uh, that is what the Homeland defense department is. Get it?
Convenient how that open-ended War on Terror stifles arguments about internal policy leading to greater and greater administrative centralization, huh?
LOL. You can call him a lot of names and be justified, but that isn't one of them.
Look on the Whitehouse web site.
Maybe if you quit talking in unsubstantiated generalities your point would actually surface...or not.
All Bush has done is to create the worlds largest police force to spy on americans. The new gestapo. Sleep well my friend, at least until they haul you away.
The thing is, immigration is growing not remaining static, immigration in the last decade was HUGE compared to previous decades and still growing. We are in what is joking refered to as the "War on Terror", I prefer to call it the "War of Terror" and it isn't being waged against Islamic extremists, but on native born Euro Americans.
How else does one explain the sudden blindness of poll watching politicians when it happens to be an immigration opinion poll?
