that you refuse to acknowledge that we finally have a good decent man in the White House.
---------
The issue is not whether Bush II has done Some good things. Few would dispute that.
But when a Pres. goes around making speeches saying that he is committed to supporting the nation-state of Israel when what he is actually doing is dividing it again, so that it will have only 25% of the land it was supposed to have around the turn of the century (circ. 1900).
THat is not being a good or decent man. IF someone took 50% of your country, and then told you that he supported you 100%, you would not think he is good.
Bush appointed Tommy Thompson as Secretary of HHS. Tompson may have had good credentials, but he certainly was in a hurry to court the pharmaceuticals. Many of his decisions have not been good.
Do you know that there are more than 250,000 frozen embryos out there, as a side-effect from invitro fertilization and that Bush & Tommy tompson are making it much easier to do experiments on those embryos and retain patent rights ?
THat is NOT being a good man. To kill those embryos would mean the death of 250,000 Human Beings. Do you think that Jesus will say that this is "being a good man" ?
Abu Mazen is now the head of the Palestinian State (nominally). But he is the one who gave the go-ahead to the massacre of the olympic athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Bush is the one who put Mazen (who is Abu Abbas) in power. Is it good to have put that man there ? Is that being a good and decent man ?
Bush has given Colin Powell great influence over US Foreign Policy. But Bush is committed to many of the same foreign policy goals as the Clintons. I have to wonder how much research you have personally done. IT was Powell - in case you do not remember - that stopped us from going to Bagdhad in 1991 and getting Saddam. He is the one who created this problem. IT is the State Department that opposed the US going into Iraq. They do all they can to make sure that it does not succeed, because they hate the military and they want to be sure that no one around the world will think that any military action will have positive consequences, unless it is a U.N. Led-humanitarian action.
I am not sharing confidential information. Everyone in Washington knows this stuff....
THese are not small nor inconsequential issues. Just because someone has good rhetoric does not mean that he is being a good and decent man. Allowing more jobs to go overseas when he could be supporting manufacturing here, is that being good and decent to the Citizens of the USA ?
Thousands of Christians are being killed and enslaved in the Sudan. THeir situation is far worse than the Iraquis were.
And they are being enslaved...I am talking about women and
children in old fashioned Leg Irons...because they are not moslem and the sharia islamic code is being enforced. Would a conservative stand by and let the people of God become slaves, knowing that this is taking place ?
There are many more issues that could be commented on. Harrasing old people when they get on airplanes, is that smart or good for anyone ? The list of small anoyances almost grows by the day. You do not have to agree with others who have posted here (who still may have valid points) to understand that Bush is hardly the conservative that his language suggests he is.
We need to ensure that we do not place our significance nor security, nor our unconditional trust in our human leaders, instead of in the Lord.
food for thought...
