Did Bush Keep Us Safe?

Bush made a key mistake of letting too many Clinton appointees stay on to empathize with the hanging chad controversies of 2000, but how that affected what information he had to work with we'll never know. Bush deliberately kicked over a hornet's nest in Iraq, while leaving us vulnerable with wide open borders and still no way to track down visa overstays. He did not keep us safe, as many Americans were killed or injured by illegal aliens pouring across the border from Mexico, Central, and South America. Its still goes on every single day while never reported by the MSM. Bush did give the Islamic enemy every opportunity to strike us at home....and by shear luck it didn't happen again. He gave jihadists our throat, and they didn't strike. I'll not thank him for that.

The Bush and Obama Doctrine

The Communist Party USA and socialism is a democratic alternative for the United States as well Charles. Although this would mean the suppression or outright elimination of economic liberty, private property rights, and the implementation of a mandatory godless secular humanist morality, democracy is always good?

Many conservatives are skeptical as to whether the Bush (and now Obama) doctrine to establish democracy in the Middle East is a good thing. Let's be honest.

Frankly, the neocon penchant for interventionism, to continue to advocate that American military power should be used throughout the world to promote democracy requires further debate...... as to whether such policies do any American citizen any good or provide any measure of security. After all, Americans are individuals who wish to live in liberty themselves, and do not want to be a part (bill payers) of endless imperial warfare to establish democracy in our time.

Cheney's Smack Down

Isn't it nice to watch Dick Cheney kick Obama's ass like a big bass drum? I never thought it would happen in my life time. There is a God.

Cheney has finally gotten energized....like the little pink bunny with the bass drum. What the hell? Did someone put a new battery in his pacemaker? I don't know what happen, but whatever it is, I like it a lot...a whole lot.

Although I disagreed with Bush administration quick launch into Iraq, I mostly disagreed with the management of the war. The Bush administration failed to adequately respond to the insurgency, and let Bremer and Rumsfeld fiddle fart around by resisting increasing troop levels appropriately. Much like Clinton's failure to put armored vehicles in Somalia (Blackhawk down incident), Bush's failure to put boots on the ground to respond to the collapsing Iraqi regime and resulting security vacuum is unforgivable. As I said earlier, Americans don't like to loose wars. This one fumble was the misstep most responsible for the Bush administration's low polling numbers.

However, except for securing our borders, the Bush administration has done a great job in restoring our intelligence capabilities after decades of Democratic destruction of our ability to spy on people. Starting with the Church Committee in the 70s and Gorelick's wall between domestic and foreign intelligence services, the Democrats just don't like collecting human intelligence (Its a hippie thing..don't trust da 'man'). Cheney is a surprisingly effective spokesman on counter-terrorism, and is gaining ground against the Obama's administration return to the failed pre-9-11 mindset. Kickem again Mr. VP, their still wiggling.
