With his record of defending American borders and national sovereignty in ruins, President Bush has decided to conclude his second term in office by making common cause with those who think America's future lies in appeasing the "international community." He apparently wants his "legacy" to be that he cared for the rest of the world. Watch your wallets―and your freedom.
The latest phase of this "legacy building" campaign began with a plea on Wednesday for more money to fight AIDS. This provided a photo opportunity for the President to pose with a black child. So far, about $200 billion has been spent by the federal government on AIDS, without any cure or vaccine being developed. But it looks "compassionate" to throw money at the problem. Tens of billions are now being spent, some of it provided by agreements brokered through Bill Clinton's foundation, to fight AIDS with potentially toxic and lethal drugs.
On the eve of the G-8 meeting of major industrialized nations in Germany, Bush gave a global warming speech on Thursday at an event hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Campaign. This is a coalition of business and non-government organizations that includes the pro-world government Citizens for Global Solutions, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Ted Turner's U.N. Foundation, Planned Parenthood, the American Friends Service Committee, the Alliance for a Global Community, and the United Nations Association.
It looks like Bush is abandoning what's left of his conservative base before they abandon him.
Bush told the group, "This is a fine organization and it's an important organization. It's rallying businesses and non-governmental organizations and faith-based and community and civic organizations across our country to advance a noble cause, ensuring that the United States leads the world in spreading hope and opportunity."

Spending $200 billion on a very preventable disease is insanity.
Yes, more trouble ahead. The Law of the Sea Treaty had slipped my mind the past couple of days, but it’s part and parcel of this whole business.
We still need to try to defeat these initiatives, if we possibly can. No point in cursing Bush, because he is still president, and will be for more than a year longer. But we sure need to put the pressure on every way we can to derail these initiatives.
Bush is Jimmy Carter in drag.
"Compassionate conservatism." Translation: flooding the U.S. with as many third-worlders as possible (creating an immense class of depedents -- natural Democrat voters) while tossing billions of American taxpayer dollars around the world like candy. ....more often than not ending up in the pockets of terrorists (Arafat/PLO) and dictatorships.
Has anyone ever really tried to figure out or have a clue, as to why he does these things?
And the beat goes on....and on....
It is starting to sound as if we need to have every one reread the Bill of Rights.
I wonder sometimes if, like Nixon, he thinks veering left will win him the approval of the mainstream media and other deep thinkers.
Or read it for the first time.
Especially when the people you’re spending it on have no intention of altering the behavior that’s responsible for the spread of the disease. Good money after bad, IMO.
Three words.
New World Order.
As much as we’re all disappointed in the man, and I am certainly no excpetion, remember he had the gonads to do something other prosidents would not do, take on Al Qaeda and the islamofascists.
Point taken.
bttt
But why? Isn’t that sort of anti-American?
Beats me...
Let me find his quote on that.
