I disagree...this is WAYYYYYYYY beyond left/right...dem/repub.

The toads at the top change but they are all working twards the same goal.

A NEW WORLD ORDER.

A tyrannical, soviet-style, top-down run, globalist New World Order.

The barons and lords in the high castle...and we are their sefs.

I don't consider it "bashing America."

Bush has not only dealt with these messes....he is successfully dealing with them in record time, with record efficiency. If he didn't deal with them, there is nobody else on Earth who would. Buchanon, wouldn’t have done it. Gore sure as hell wouldn’t have done it. There is no other human being, save perhaps Rush Limbaugh (for president…yeaaaah) who would have the titanium balls to do what Bush is doing.

As a result, we have an Afghanistan (formally bruttally enslaved by the Taliban) now underway to becoming a free country. The same is true of Iraq......Never before in the history of warfare have we seen complete countries fall in such record time with such few casualties. Both countries, formally havens and supliers of terrorist weapons and terrorist groups are now on their way to a free government....Keeping in mind it took us 6 years occupying Japan to achieve a democratic government. It's not an easy process and will take time....but the terrorist breeding grounds of Iraq and Afghanistan have been dismantled and no longer produce the terrorist mosquitoes that can threaten the world. Next may be Syria or N. Korea....

Bush may just remove the terrorist threat from the world during his remaining and next term in office, or at least, make a huge dent in the ability for large terrorist groups to organize and seek safe haven. This is a miraculous achievement, to say the least, and may just avoid a nuclear terrorist disaster which could spark of WWIII.

Bush said this is his mission....and with the efficient use of our great military, Bush is achieving this mission with remarkable efficiency...something most presidents wouldn't have the backbone or drive to achieve. In dealing with the ballistic missile threat from larger countries like China and Russia, and now, N. Korea (thanks to Clinton), Bush has re-vitalized the SDI (Star Wars) missile defense program to shoot down enemy missiles...The new Patriot missiles gave a great example of how well this technology could work on a larger scale.

All threats to America that were ignored or even thought impossible to deal with, are being dealt with unbelievable efficiency by the Bush administration...WWIII is likely prevented and avoided by this great president through the aggressive actions he is taking now...

I enlisted and volunteered for the Nam...

Now, those of us who remember our oath of enlistment was:
to uphold and defend the US constitution, against all enemies foriegn and domestic;

Have never been released from that oath.

that the USA/Patriot Act violated the Constitution in almost every paragraph

means nothing to bush supporters who slavishly call for supporting the President regardless...whereas they were those who opposed President Clinton at every turn,
without regard for our Constitution,...

careing only for political advantage...

They gave up all pretense of loyalty to our constitution when they failed to oppose the unconstitutional USA Patriot Act's suspension of the Bill of Rights
(which matters to real conservatives above life itself)

This is way beyond politics/
Either you love America and defend the US Constitution and Bill of Rights
against all enemies, foreign and domestic or

you are an enemy to our nation.

Aside from the fact that the statement is arguable (in the Supreme Court) as to whether the US Patriot act “violates the constitution at almost every paragraph, let's look at what seems to blow past you every time.

Mech, shitoga, you two go on and on and on about NWO, Constitution, yada yada yada.
Sounds like a scratched record anymore.

Let me ask the two of you something.

Are you registered voters?

Are you aware of the process to change leadership here in America?

If you don't get out and vote at election time, then you don't have one damn thing to bitch about. Or are you two with some sort of militia who thinks they are gonna change the government and wipe out anyone who gets in their way.

Militia's, what a joke, but that's another subject.

You two bash our country, our government, and our way of life and you have the balls to call yourself Americans? And you shitoga, sitting back collecting government money and throwing names around like you are really something. You are just another one of these whining vets who do nothing but take a good healthy shit on America every chance you get. You have not amounted to anything and your credibility means nothing to me.

Shatoga is right on. The Neo-Cons are dismantling the very things this nation was founded on...mainly CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. To me..THAT is the very thing that makes America the best. Criticising the ones who are busy BURNING IT be it dem or repub is "bashing America?

I DON'T THINK SO.

Get real.

This is one area where I disagree with Bush, because he has increased government spending without any "REAL" cuts in his current budget. If the house ways and means committee is proposing REAL cuts, then I applaud them, but certainly these aren't coming from the Bush administration. Bush has actually proposed a huge increase in government spending but less than Democrats want....so Democrats always call that a "cut"...

And btw, increases in spending never equate to increases in education quality. It has never happened because the liberals in control of the education system are so corrupt that the vast majority of that money never makes it to the school kids for which it is intended. Any increases in school spending inevitably get absorbed and swallowed up into the black hole of ever increasing and complex liberal controlled bureaucracy...and quality of education inevitable declines as a result. This has been a trend as consistent as clock work. Hence there is no historical correlation between increases in spending and quality of education.

Parents are actually WALKING their kids to school because there is NO MONEY to go around for busing. Either that or the have to drive them.

All I have to say is..kids are the future...you can say they are not cuts but as far as I am concerned they are..

You'll do anything to tow the party line....even if it's wrong.
