An open letter of thanks to President G.W. Bush
He is still a president elected with 51% of the vote. Try as they might with inaccurate polls, they cannot erase the fact that George W. Bush was elected with 51%, which is a majority Bill Clinton never had.
President George W. Bush fixed the largest woes regarding education. The "no child left behind" act has done a remarkable job by eliminating education gaps in many parts of the country. The effects this will have on our society will be hard to measure and the full results will obviously be years ahead before fully appreciated.
President George W. Bush, unlike Democrats, actually had a plan for dealing with terrorism, and then, with democrat votes of approval, acted on the plan. The plan has not been popular, but doing nothing was not an option. The Democrats still do not have a plan, and this will become very unsettlingly clear to the voting public that foolishly just put them in power. I am proud that my President made the tough choices and stuck by his guns.
President George W. Bush has delivered an excellent booming economy. The liberal press could only whine about the housing market, which they did for weeks prior to the elections, but houses never have sold well near the holidays, and the economy otherwise is booming. DJ has hit records several days in a row. With taxes lower, the economy always does better.
Thank you, Mr. President, for a job well done. May your next two years be full of happiness for you and the best First Lady Laura. May God continually bless you all.
I dont know about that. Perhaps he is. I can say that he is NOT a conservative.
At best, one could say he's a 'big government conservative'.
Talk about something that might embolden the terrorists, are you paying attention? This election looks like it has fast forwarded WWIII.
I doubt someone on a website pointing out the president's liberal tendencies is going to embolden terrorists. That has already been done with the recent election.
The democrats have a chance to become pro-military, small government, pro-guns and God, conservatives...if they do things right these next 2 years. I say... give them a chance. maybe the GOP will be the liberal of the 2 parties in 2008
Thanks for posting this. I stand with the President.
Yes, I am depressed,extremely so, about the election.
I can't stand the thought of Pelosi and Conyers and co.
sitting at the grownup table. The Media IMHO is a big reason the election turned the way it did. I have never in my life seen such vicious, vicious, "reporting". Now that the Dems have won, has anyone noticed that CNN likes our troops now? What a surprise.
"Bush is a liberal"
Oh really. If President Bush is a liberal then Ronald Reagan was an uber liberal by comparison.
Thank you for your comments . . . I couldn't agree more!
Poor choice of words on my part, I'll admit. I should have said big government conservative. :p
Actually, he's a PRAGMATIST just like Reagan!
I consoled myself with this thought the other day, but then I saw Waxman and his "investigations", Pelosi and her promises, the joy of Al Qaida and the smugness of Old Europe.
The Dems will be Liberal again by Christmas and Bush's circle ever smaller. The White House is Fort Apache and there ain't no cavalry coming. It's gonna be a long fight through '08!
Bush is a conservative, albeit one with a few liberal tendencies (namely, Medicare entitlements and federalized education). But I lay the spending spree of the past six years squarely and solely on the Republican Congress. I rank second to none in my disdain for the deeply corrupted Congressional Republicans, most notoriously the Senators who place their pork-spending sprees above even national security. But even the most corrupt, liberal Republican (perhaps excluding Lincoln Chaffee, D-RI) will vote for national security with enough Bush-whacks in the rear end and the opportunity to insert a few poison pills like the Terrorist Bill of Rights.
Democrats won't even do that; they oppose the very notion of American victory and repeatedly side with the terrorists. Senator Intelligence Committee chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) actually traveled to Damascus to share national security secrets with the Baathist rulers of that terror state weeks before our troops invaded Iraq. He confessed to this overt act of adherence to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort--the very definition of treason--on national television. That information enabled Syrian terrorist leaders to acquire the weapons of mass destruction from fellow Baahtist Saddam Hussein. The Democrats, cooperating with their Syrian Baathist terrorist allies, also get to claim that Bush lied about the existence of the weapons of mass destruction.
Bush's job--especially in wartime--requires an almost singular focus on national security. He must pick his battles against the Congress, and he'll turn a blind eye to the "bridge to nowhere" odious corrupt pork project if his signature enables the passage of necessary war appropriations. The President now must win this war against the terrorists, and we conservatives should prepare to sacrifice absolutely everything to make that happen. To win the terror war, Bush must avoid the certain specter of impeachment and continue to hold his office. He must veto every bill that Congress passes that mandates surrender in any form.
That means cultivating goodwill with the Democratic Congress. When Democrats pass a bill to raise taxes, I fully expect Bush to sign it--not because he wants it but because the Democrats hold the mere consideration of defense appropriations hostage to it. I would not be surprised if this Congress never passes an acceptable defense appropriations measure, requiring our military to drop such comforts as heated barracks, utilities, or any form of military pay. Without Congressional funding, the army would assess the President personally or the troops personally for the costs of absolutely-necessary food and ammunition.
