In a recent article, it was mentioned that, to most of the far left on this site, NOTHING our president does will be acceptable.
Don't get me wrong; I have many, MANY problems with the policies of George W. Bush and the GOP. In fact, I agree with more than half of the points made, if not the attitude itself, of many of the most liberal bloggers on this site.
What confounds me, whough, is how they have been seduced by the Democrats into believing that the Dems are in any way a "party of the people". Where was this "party of the people" when Bill Clinton signed NAFTA in 1993? Yet if you ask MOST American lefties, they will swear that NAFTA was a GOP policy, despite the fact that a DEMOCRAT president, and a DEMOCRAT House and Senate passed the nefarious bill.
My problem, dear libs, is NOT with the statement that George W. Bush is a poor president. My problem is that you ridiculously cling to a prty that isn't any better, and is in many ways, much much worse. Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge? Both were EGREGIOUS civil rights violations under a DEMOCRAT led administration, and yet there was no outcry from the liberal camp because one leader was a religious nut job and the other was a white supremacist. Their individual ideologies aside, BOTH cases are prime examples of people who were due and denied protection under the US Constitution. Janet Reno should be bunkmates with Susan Smith, rather than giving speeches at Harvard.
If you truly believe in the principles you claim to espouse, then do something. Clean up your act, and work at reforming your OWN party. I think a lot more conservatives would appreciate it if you did.
