After 2,662 posts, finally a post worthy of Pukin Dog's rant. You hit it right on the head with the comparison with Truman. President Bush is the leader of a Great Country, not the just leader of the Republican party. His position on the immigration issues are those of a moral man, not a devious planner like too many here seem to think.
If the time ever comes where we have to annihilate an entire city or country full of suicidal maniacs that want to destroy us and our way of life, President Bush or someone just like him is the man I want making that decision.

True.

Let's just hope it's not one of our own cities.

The same people who decried slick willie's attention only to his own supporters and thought the rest of us should go to hell are now demanding that same corrupt alegiance to themselves at the expense of the entire country.

Hypocritical in the extreme.

Let's pray that day never comes. It is so refreshing to hear from people like you and Pukin Dog who understand what is at stake. You are a beam of sanity in this mad world of the masses.

Regrettably, most Americans lack the character that made our country great. We're becoming a society increasingly like ancient Rome. The "haves" want to squander their wealth on bread and circuses for themselves with no regard to the good of the country. (Ya mean we fund national defense with TAX MONEY?) The "have nots" are just as bad. They want government-subsidized bread and circuses. Both have bought into the delusion that freedom is free.

The Bush administration has faced a lot of challenges, from preserving national security to Katrina. In a society obsessed with instant gratification and quick fixes, the opinion polls aren't much of a surprise.
