Traditional conservatism is characterized by limited government and avaoidance of foreign entanglements. Does that sound like the actions and policies of the Bush administration and our Republican-controlled Congress? Discuss...

George Bush: Not a Conservative

It has been mentioned before by others here and elsewhere that this is not a situation where one person may command other forum members to do anything like "Discuss". We are not a class and you are not the professor for example. Why do you do this? Why do you tell people to discuss things that you seem want to be talked about, please?
Why do you want to talk about this here and now, please? Are you working on another op-ed piece or a class?
With respect,
Ebor

The war in Iraq has cost far too much in our tax dollars and American lives, and has tarnished the image and reputation of our country, to be considered just and beneficial to our best interest. This act of unprovoked war betrays the Constitution and the traditional principles of political and economic conservatism. It should be obvious to anyone not subject to the current Republican leadership and their apologists that Bush is not a conservative.
Peace.

I agree with you 100% Pensees. George Bush is just a mega-corporate yes-man. The real reason we started this fiasco in the Middle East was to secure accounts for Halliburton and Bechtel. We no longer live in a republic. Our government is a corporate oligarchy with the window trimmings of a republic. Thomas Jefferson once said that those who attach more significance to safety than freedom is worthy of neither and will ultimately find neither. This is a bought-off, scared society of corporate slaves.
Big Brother is watching, and some day they'll be coming to take us away to "the place where there is no darkness."
