Bush Team Trimming Clinton-like Decrees in U.N.

Kitkat, some people only feel "happy" when they wallow in "misery". And they will search for misery in smallest nook and cranny.

Those are the ones you see on the Bush bashing threads.

[browardchad]

If all you want is a bunch of "Yes" "Rah Rah" people no matter what the President does, you're setting yourself up for a dictatorship. Criticism and dissent are great American values.

Well said.

[kitkat]

***LOL!!! Please take your BP meds and call me in the morning.***

Aww, com'on! You can't think of a better argument that that? Pretty lame! Guess you figure an insult will hurt my feelings, huh? This is war, buddy, and I'll back my president to my dying breath.

[kitkat]

LOL! Thanks, but this IS a Bush/bashing thread. However, I agree with every word you said.

[DrDeb]

I'm curious. As a theoretical construct, how does a knee jerk "BUSH-BOT" differ from a knee jerk "BUCH-BASHER"?

[kitkat]

Obviously, the Bush bashers have lost the meaning of this thread.

***The Bush Administration has a very important and a different policy position [than the previous administration] -- whether it’s family, whether it’s life, whether it is the centrality of marriage and children. In fact, it is the difference between night and day.”***

Instead of celebrating President Bush's initiative against the UN, they're complaining about other issues. NOTHING PLEASES THESE PEOPLE.

[DrDeb]

Address the first part of my statement and I might feel inspired to address your response!

[kitkat]

***So we have a choice of Democrat creeping socialism or Republican creeping socialism?***

You Bush bashers are losing your touch. That was an empty argument. You're boring me.

"GWB's Nattering Nabobs of Negativism"

LOL!

Nattering Nabobs of Negativism

Hehehe. Good one.

[DrDeb]

We got the message and that's what matters -- the 'axis' and 'nabobs' have lost their ability to objectively analyze anything that the President does!

Kitkat, some people only feel "happy" when they wallow in "misery". And they will search for misery in smallest nook and cranny.

This describes some unfortunate family members of mine. :)

Yeah, I read your reply 28. In fact, I had it specifically in mind, and almost pinged you, when I wrote mine. I got the impression you think "complaining" is forbidden because Bush is in office. If that's the case, with all due respect, that's just plain goofy.

As madfly so aptly pointed out, it says "Defending Our Constitution" on the FR logo. It doesn't say, "Defending Our President." I'm not about to be silent and compromise my beliefs and/or convictions just because he's a Republican or a born-again Christian (like me).

I voted for him and, unless the Democrats nominate a Conservative Christian defender of the Constitution to run against him (HAH!), I'll vote for him again. He'd have to do something awfully bad to make me stay home or waste my vote on a third-party candidate.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to exercise my First Amendment right to (as you put it) "complain" when I perceive he's voilating his oath of office.

[rintense]

I have respect for anyone who can articulately and rationally disagree with anything the President does. It's the baseless, reactionary hysteria and name-calling that gets me.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I'm kid of partial to this one:

It sends a stronger message.

[DoughtyOne]

I like them both, but I want people to know why we want to screw the UN. Replacing our own flag provides a basis for dialogue and explanation. At least IMO.

[MrB]

The first part of your statement is mischaracterizing what most Constitutionalist libertarians believe in.

You say "anti pro-life, anti pro-family". I believe, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, that you want the federal government to pass laws (backed by the threat of lethal force) to promote a pro-life / pro-family society.
I'm very pro-life (abortion is committing violence against another human) and very pro-family (gov't/schools should not undermine family values). But I don't believe the feds have the Constitutional authority to pass such laws.

On the contrary, the feds need to remove the laws and programs that are detrimental to your (and my) endgame agenda.

If you want, I can go into how the alleviation (by the gov't) of consequences for bad, unhealthy decisions has been detrimental to instilling good values in our society.

[gunshy]

You are so right. To hell with the constitution, we have a republican president and that should be good enough for everybody.
