The Empire Strikes Back
Liberalism. Who would of thought President George W. Bush would turn out to be a rampant liberal? But that is exactly what blogger Andrew Sullivan is saying President Bush really is (see the post here). Points to ponder:
-
President Bush's foreign policy is expansionist (having invaded two sovereign countries) and is based on the radical notion of reformist nation building.
-
President Bush has gone on an unprecedented binge of federal spending.
-
There is no agriculture subsidy that your tax dollars shouldn't be spent on.
-
The drug entitlement program he rammed through Congress (while lying about the cost) may bankrupt the government.
-
He has usurped states rights in a blatant power grab based on his feeling that centralized government knows what's best.
-
He has appointed radical activist juritst to the federal bench in the hope of making law through the courts rather than through Congress.
In essence, everything you thought President Bush is, is wrong.
