In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
Worshipping at the Altar of Mediocrity...
Remember Bush's Resume that was making the rounds a few months ago? Well here's an old posting at a site that does a real good job of documenting Bush's failures the make up his resume:
1. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.
2. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.
3. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
4. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.
5. I am the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.
6. I set the the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one year period.
7. After taking-off the entire month of August 2001, I then presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.
8. I attacked and overtook two countries, promised to rebuild them and have not yet done so.
9. I am supporting development of a "Tactical Bunker Buster" nuke, a WMD.
10. I am getting our troops killed, under the lie of WMD components, then blaming the lie on our British friends and the CIA, where, coincidentally, my daddy used to lead.
11. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. president.
12. In my first year in office over 2-million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month, leaving us in higher than ever unemployment.
Etc. etc. It goes on and on... kind of depressing as he is the President, but it says a lot about America that even with such a monkey as President... we still got it going on.

in our leader's decisions brought us together to make this site.
As Bush said, he's a "uniter." Many of us have never even met.
That's the internet for you.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
