Give it up Denys, it is a waste of time having a one sided discussion.

When the other side cannot permit itself to question any aspect of their
beliefs, or accept that someone believing differently than they do is
anything except the purest evil, then the debate is simply preaching to
the choir as nobody is going to change their minds. 

It is more than a bit amusing, or perhaps sad, that the side that wraps
itself in free speech is also the side that works hardest to implement
laws against speech, and even thought, that does not agree with their
viewpoint. Speech codes on college campuses are the best example we have
for the lefts 'free speech only applies to those who agree with me'
approach to any debate. They name conservatives facists and are unable
to see that they have become what they hate most.

Bush, like most conservatives before him, was labeled evil and an idiot
long before the 2000 election and the left will never question this
decree from their prophets.

While I do not subscribe to the view that Bush is an idiot I do take
great exception to many things he has done in the past, Farm
bill/Medicare presciptions/education, and is doing today. His pandering
for votes, that he will never get, by sucking up to illegal immigrants
and attempting to sneak in another amnesty is grounds for impeachment as
he is neglecting his sworn duty to defend and uphold our laws.
Additionally, even the most conservative amoung us must admit that he
does appear to put business interests ahead of national interests at
times due mostly, in my opinion, to a world view that trusts some
foreign goverments way more than they deserve.

The above is an example of my questioning my leadership. I may be
totally wrong and Bush has valid reasons for every one of my concerns,
at least I hope so, but until I hear the reason I am forced to consider
that he is just wrong on some issues. It is too bad that the left
refuses to question, or even acknowledge, the actions of their leaders
as their philosophy of 'the end justifies the means' cares little about
truth or ethics. They simply care about winning so they can force their
point of view on the rest of us.

Comments are my own, not my employer's... Etc.
