I make no secret of my support of the President. I also defend his decisions or at least try to understand them.

Amazingly, on the General Interest thread I frequent we are able to discuss different issues such as the education bill, CFR, the Farm Bill and such, disagree with the President on occasion, and not resort to insults.

I have never attacked anyone on this forum for disagreeing with the President. I myself disagree with him on occasion, notably the education bill.

However, this does not mean he has lost my support, nor does it cause me to go into tirades about how he is a socialist, NWO, sell-out, etc. all of which are inflammatory.

A perfect example of the problem is your post to me. Because I support the President, you assume that I attack people, and that is not true. I WILL defend him from some of the inflammatory charges I see posted on certain threads. That is not attacking; that is defense.

It is a pity that we agree on so much. I would enjoy debating with classy well informed intelligent folks such as yourself, but it is hard to debate with one with whom you largely agree. Maybe we should take up that execrable steel quota bill again or something, and savage each other just for the fun of it.

I support the President as well, but yes, he has made a number decisions which defy reason. Or perhaps some of us sense there actually are reasons, and that we feel is the bad news -- he has undoubtedly compromised too much on some major issues that are traditionally Democratic in nature -- primarily on immigration, but the ones you also mention as well are also disturbing. The good news is he has done a great job on the war effort thus far, and I still feel he is a man who sincerely wants to do the right thing.

However, this does not mean he has lost my support, nor does it cause me to go into tirades about how he is a socialist, NWO, sell-out, etc. all of which are inflammatory.

It doesn't mean he lost my support either -- but there comes point when Dubya instead of ideologically "playing it safe" and listening to his handlers, must stick his neck out on purely conservative issues and play some aggressive offense instead of backing up politically into a "prevent defense" so to speak. Up until now, we've yet to see it...

As to your charge that some of us feel thus far the President's policy decisions reek a bit of NWO, pandering, and socialist tendencies, then guilty as charged. I would eventually like nothing better to be proven wrong.
