| Bush the Insurgent |
| 2004-11-23 |
| EFL. Link may require reg. If these is grass roots demand, I'll post the whole thing in opinion The scheming in Washington as President Bush prepares for his second term is easily explained. It's the insurgents versus the Washington establishment, and the insurgents are winning. ... In the eyes of the establishment, the Bush tactics, the Bush agenda, and Mr. Bush himself are over the top. The president is girding for battle. He's aiming to consolidate control of his administration, drive out recalcitrant (read: establishment) elements, and make the permanent government heel, especially at the CIA and State Department. He's kept his White House staff intact, from political adviser Karl Rove to speechwriter Mike Gerson to budget chief Josh Bolten, as a kind of headquarters cadre. The White House aides who've departed, such as national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and counsel Alberto Gonzales, were dispatched to take over Cabinet agencies. Mr. Bush's agenda is post-Reagan in its conservatism, which means it's more far-reaching and thus more threatening to the establishment. Mr. Bush would not only reform Social Security and allow individuals to invest a portion of their payroll taxes in financial markets, he would also revamp the entire federal tax code and fill the Supreme Court with judicial conservatives. And those are only his domestic plans. In foreign affairs, Mr. Bush would make aggressive efforts to spread democracy around the world the centerpiece. The foreign policy élite is aghast. ... If Mr. Bush is anxious his insurgency might fail, he hasn't let on. On the contrary, he exudes confidence that, despite the establishment, he'll succeed in his second term. Mr. Bush did make one bow to the establishment last week. He showed up in a tuxedo at the British embassy for a party honoring Ms. Rice. "One tux a term," a White House official said. "That's our idea of outreach to the Washington community." |

| #3 Under CLINTONISM, Republicans = Americans, Rightists, Fascists and Capitalists to destroy now; Democrats = DITTO to destroy later.Clintonism> The GOP-RIght exists minorilly, unique, and outcast from America's Communist- and LeftSocialist Majority, i.e. is a militant/rogue fraction of America's normal National COmmunism whom must be controlled or destroyed. Dubya, like Radical Islam, within the context of anti-American Clintonism can thus be argued as being a COMMUNIST-CONTROLLED "FASCIST", MERC, AND ANTI-AMERICAN AMERICAN "INSURGENT". Iff the "JFK Game", and Kerry's recent remarks this past week about how Dubya and the GOP are imposing FASCISM on America is any measure, looks like Dubya remains a marked man - if controversial resignation doesn't get him, PC political assassination will. LeftBloggers and Leftperts are proclaiming that 9-11 was a conspiracy by the GOP-RIght and America for global domination; whereas RIGHTWINGNEWS > LeftBloggies on militant DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND.COM are claiming that Dubya may be responsible for a "hit" on his own father Bush 1 vv the plane crash. The FAILED/ANGRY LEFT> Bush and America are both heroes, andor mistaken, as well as "ROGUES" whom INEVITABLY MUST BE DESTROYED ITSELF, espec after Rogue-ish America destroys Rogue-ish Radical Islam first. The ONLY ones that can't be destroyed or considered "EXPENDABLE" are the super-PC Clintons; Communism, i.e AMERICA-/WORLD-SAVING REGULATION AND GLOBAL INTEGRATION; and Mackinder's=Socialism's "World Island", aka EURASIA, the "Mother of the World", specifically RUSSIA-CHINA. The Failed Left> is mere, wierd and mysterious, PC=Politically Deniable, dialectic COINCIDENCE amongst coincidences, NOT CONSPIRACY OR THIRD-PARTY/TERTIARY ALIBIS, mysteries and riddles wrapped around enigmas, chaos, paradoxes, and hyperdoxes, as honest injun as America is a mere SUPER-POWER JUST LIKE RUSSIA-CHINA STILL ARE! The Left claims RUSSIA, CHINA, and ASIA will take over from America btwn 2030- 2050, but the Left weirdly and mysteriously doesn't and won't say HOW? or WHY? "ONLY IN AMERICA CAN SOCIALISM/OWG WORK" = "AMERICA IS A ROGUE THAT MUST BE DESTROYED" = "AMERICANS DON'T WANT TO BE GOVERNED BY AMERICANS" = "AMERICANS ARE ASIANS",...........@!? ITS COMMUNISM, PEOPLE, ITS WAR - THE LEFT IS IN "FINAL CONFLICT" MODE BUT DOESN'T WANT AMERICA OR AMERICANS TO KNOW OR BELIEVE IT! |

| #2 It's a good article. Lousy title, however. I love the second term agenda: true tax and social security reform to make us richer, stronger, more productive and self-reliant; take the fight overseas to the enemies of freedom and liberty. |

| #1 "The foreign policy élite is aghast." I've been smiling since I read that sentence... can't seem to stop, heh. "One tux a term" - lol! Time to take the Gov't away from the self-serving InCivil Servants who were not elected. Bush has both constitutional requirements and campaign promises to keep. Neither moonbats nor careerists nor gloom of hand-wringers shall stay this President from his appointed mission. |
