Bush Continues Clinton Agenda

Referring to President G. W. Bush's new Homeland Security department, former President Bill Clinton told a gathering of Council on Foreign Relations members last week, "We have been building this for a long time." For once, Clinton told the truth. What he began constructing following the Oklahoma City bombing, Bush has succeeded in bringing to fruition. America is about to have its very own Gestapo.

If Al Gore were president today, Republicans in Congress would no doubt rise in righteous indignation to quickly kill such a plan. However, with a fellow Republican in the White House, all such opposition has vanished. The bottom line is Bush is pursuing Clinton's agenda and getting a free pass.

Consider this: Bush has already issued 57 executive orders and has already created 47 new federal agencies. His Justice Department has declared that U.S. citizens, whom it declares to be 'Enemy Combatants,' have no constitutional rights - none. Such people do not even have the fundamental right of legal representation.

Georgetown University law professor David Cole rightly said, "This is really an astounding assertion of authority. It's not just that you have no right to a lawyer, it's that you have no right to even have a hearing. If this is true, then there is really no limit to the President's power to label U.S. citizens as bad people and then have them held in military custody indefinitely."

Furthermore, Bush now says he has the right to initiate first strike attacks on any nation or people at [his] will. Imagine how future history will record America launching its own versions of Pearl Harbor.

Bill Clinton received more good news from the Bush White House. Just yesterday, he learned that Attorney General John Ashcroft is ready to permanently close the government's investigations into Clinton's criminal activities. In other words, President Bush has declared that Bill and Hillary Clinton are above the law.

Beyond that, Bush's support for liberal policies on things such as the federalization of airport security, proposed amnesty for illegal aliens, a boost in funding for Clinton's AmeriCorps program, a worst-ever education bill, and a constitutionally-challenged campaign finance reform bill simply reveal Bush's perpetual propensity to continue Clinton-style government.

In spite of Bush's dismal record, he continues to receive the support and approbation of conservatives, pastors, and Republicans throughout the country. If Clinton would have known that a Bush administration would be this successful in promoting his policies and programs, he would have supported Bush and not Gore in the 2000 election. Maybe he did.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

All I have accomplished with this is to put frowns on peoples faces, some thinking, "That's boy's nuts, totally whacko!" and the others just getting grumpy that I am reminding them of the obvious.

"All truth goes through three stages.
First it is ridiculed.
Then it is violently opposed.
Finally, it is accepted as self-evident."
(Schopenhauer)
For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst, and to provide for it." -- Patrick Henry

With six RINOs ready to abandon ship at the convenience of the democRATS I don't think the GOP is suffering from a lack of liberals. And don't forget the White House itself. Virtually attacking Smith, and supporting Sununnu, attacking Gilmore and putting in that cretin at RNC, and then backing Riordan in Calif., and Schundler's opponent in NJ. This is not ideologically surprising ...Especially with Andrew Card and Karl Rove advising GWB. Not a conservative bone in their bodies.

Love God and Jesus Christ with all your heart mind and soul and They will preserve you and give you eternal life. Seek to please, worship and trust Them and NOT Presidents or FBI agents for They will never betray you even though Presidents and FBI agents will fail and betray you.</i

Bump. Truer words, never spoken!

Did even read my post? I said that the liberal wing of the Republican Party is the smallest it has been in the party's history. I stand by that statement. Furthermore the Bush adminstration is on record as supporting Bob Smith in the New Hampshire primary. George Bush has not attacked Smith as you falsely claim. Bush is on record as supporting all Sernate incumbent Republicans in primary elections. The fact that Smith has blown any chance to win the primary or general election is only his own fault.

[Paul Ross]

Andrew Card is GWB's left hand, and his support for Sunnunu is transparently a ploy by GWB to have his cake and eat it too, claiming he supports incombents. B.S. As for your standing by the claim that the number of the fewest Lefty GOPers in the Senate, I challenge your definition.

Meanwhile, GWB is LEFT of center on federal control of education, LEFT of center on Enforcing the LAW uniformly, (too busy 'moving on') LEFT of Center on U.S. Nuclear Disarmament, LEFT of Center on the need for Armor in the Army, LEFT of Center on Gays, LEFT of Center on "Big Government", and Farm Subsidies, LEFT of Center on the Constitution, and the Campaign Finance Reform Act, LEFT of Center on Illegal Alien amnesty, LEFT of Center on the continued Clinton-Hold-Over persecutions of Whistle-Blowers (Notra Trulock, Linda Tripp, etc.), LEFT of Center against Arming the Pilots in the Cockpit, LEFT of Center on ANWR (Daschle could be adroitly out-maneuvered with a Prez Junket to the site and then simply issuing an "emergency" Executive Order, after decrying "Misrepresentation and Propaganda from CBS") and the Gulf of Mexico Oil Drilling, LEFT of Center on the Saudis kidnapping of US Citizen children, LEFT of Center on China (even after the Surveillance Plane incident), LEFT of Center on Abortion Executive Orders.

As Ann Coulter says, 'consider the alternative' when she still ultimately supports GWB. But it is not blind support, or whole-hearted. And given AN ALTERNATIVE the GOP should drop-kick this guy in a heart-beat. I think the Wall Street Journal is edging up to that conclusion themselves.

My goodness, take that tin foil hat off. I don't believe a word of your arguement. (You have already lied about the Smith/Sununu race.) My comment was that the liberal wing of the Republican Party is a the smallest it has ever been. I guess you hate that fact. You love to complain about everything and that is one less thing to complain about. All you could respond with was a burning hatred of George Bush. If you were the god of the Republican Party who would you have nominated, being how you hate the current president's guts?

[afuturegovernor]

As for your standing by the claim that the number of the fewest Lefty GOPers in the Senate, I challenge your definition.

BTW, I never even mention the word Senate on this thread. Shows how little you read. You would be better served to learn a bit about the history of the Republican Party too.

[Paul Ross]

I think you are the one who needs to revisit their history classes, particularly before you graduate. And your nonresponsive shifting of the arguments are nonpersuasive. As to the Senate, that is where we are currently stymied by open and brazen left-wing opposition to even a MODERATE 'bipartisan' President... see the latest lamentable conduct of John McCain. McCrazed would NEVER have dared cross President Reagan this way.

And as to knowing what is the overall tide of things, I have a good handle on that, and I have been an elected Republican delegate and activist longer than you have been alive.

[WhiteGuy]

hey B4...... did you write this?

just kidding

[afuturegovernor]

Yeah well, I'll be graduating in December in the top 1% of my class with a political science major and history minor. And if your such a great Republican how come you haven't answered my question: If you were the god of the Republican Party who would you have nominated, being how you hate the current president's guts? In addition, you act like McCain Republicans are new to the party. A segement of both political parties acts like they really belong in the other party.

[B4Ranch]

If I ever wanted to write an article, it would be stronger than this one. LOL but it's true also.

[Paul Ross]

...political science major and history minor

Political 'science', IMHO, is an oxymoron.
