The President spoke tonight???? Sorry I missed that. (sarcasm) I was glued to ESPN watching the NBA Draft. I had to see where the kids in Baby Blue (UNC Tar Heels) went this evening. Scooter is going to have to reconsidet watching NBA games now that two of UNC's finest are now Charlotte Bobcats.

What did I miss? (more sarcasm)

I understand the terrorists are in their last throes. That we are progressing in Iraq daily. This war is important. Our cause is just. Afterall, we were attacked on 9/11 because of hatred for our precious freedoms and we can no longer sit idly by as terrorist regimes plot their next move in Iraq or any other place harboring terrorism. I am so relieved we have a great man of faith in the White House in W. I am honored he stands tall for America and does not lower himself to the vicious and venomous assaults and insults hurled at him by the America-hating left. (heavy, dripping sarcasm)

It still blows my mind that Bush said that the terrorists wanted to take away our freedom. And then a few short months later he took away some of our freedoms with The Patriot Act and by establishing the precedent that a US citizen could be held without charges in an unknown location indefinitely with no access to legal counsel. Then more by setting up the DHS, passing what is generally called Patriot II, hiring Primakov to set up national ID, etc.

My mind is in a silly, sarcastic place this evening. It is one of the ways I cope with what is going on.

We are a witness to one of, if not the, most destructive Presidencies in the history of this great country. What is worse in many ways, is that this White House and this complacent Congress have opened the door for so much destruction of rights and liberties of the American people for years to come. We should have taken note that almost every head of corporation George Bush has been in, he has left in worse shape, often disastorous shape than prior to his leadership. For me, it began with CFR. His breaking of his campaign promise. That was an eyeopener for this man who voted for President Bush in 2000. Then the Education Bill. No Child Left Behind. The refusal to at least "examine" offenses of the Clinton Administration. The Farm Bill. As we now know, a reduced priority in tracking terrorism. And it has ballooned from there. The White House response to the Supreme Court vs New London was that "we respect the Court's decision" or words to that effect. The Rush Limbaugh's and the Jim Robinson's of this world have pleaded for Republican Leadership in all levels of the Federal Government. They promised us we would see the wave of government encroachment of power in every facet of our lives beaten back. After little more than 4 years, we have a Federal Government in size, scope and power far greater than anything in our history.

I could go on from there. This great country is being destroyed. Alex Jones is looking smarter every day when he asserts "America is being destroyed by design".

Just this evening? I'm there nightly, lol.

Poll appears to reflect partisan viewing

Wait for it....wait....wait....here comes the sarcasm.....I find that shocking!! ;)

46 percent of speech watchers choose 'very positive' response

"Many Americans did not watch the speech. Those who did were 2-to-1 Republican, so most were arguably already in the president's camp."

Arguably? Is there nothing we can agree on? I would like to see a poll to find out why many Americans did not watch it. I didn't. I could only stomach a few sentences at most. I would love for that to be one of the options if someone polls me, lol.

The percentage of those with a "very positive" reaction was down from the 60 percent expressing the same sentiment in a similar poll taken immediately after Bush's State of the Union speech in February.

The figure also was down from the 67 percent in a similar poll who responded that way to the president's "mission accomplished" speech May 1, 2003 -- two months after the war began.

That was the speech -- delivered under a banner reading "Mission Accomplished" on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln -- in which Bush declared, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

Looks to me like he needed a banner over his head during the speech tonight. Perhaps, "Mission Complicated". I might have tuned in for that, lol.

And there were plenty of fools who bought into the idea that the republocraps would incrementally turn big government back!

I wrote an editorial once about about how the right is NEVER able to win the battle of incrementalism..............and the bots called me everything but white.

I couldn't agree more. I don't take Bush seriously anymore in some ways- and it frees me to look deeper into what he is doing. I didn't watch the speech- I have seen enough of bush that watching a speech won't tell me anything new. Here are some of the problems I have with Bush:

I am convinced Bush is pushing an aggressive ideology of collectivism, and Americans are so conditioned by collectivism advocates in the US that we cannot even see it. Bush has presided over the Rep party as it has officially adopted collectivism as it's official ideology. The attack on individual rights Bush has conducted with the support of Congress is part of the collectivist strategy. No one except a collectivist would seek to destroy individual rights and promote group rights as Bush and Congress have.

Bush's whole approach to the illegal alien crisis has been textbook Marxist. The recurring theme presented by his admin is the idea of the noble, worthy illegals and their near natural right to share in the wealth of Americans. Every Mexican is portrayed as having all positive attributes. The caricature of the hard working Mexican, working hard to support children, is religious (believes in Jesus), thankfully doing the jobs we won't do, dedicated to family values, etc. Every single negative is ignored in an attempt to con Americans into not taking their own interests into consideration when deciding whether or not to agree with the govt and their plans regarding illegals. Bush is such a Marxist that he is on the record as saying that the border should not stop a Mexican family or anyone in need from receiving required assistance from the US. We have a DUTY to share. By we I generally mean the middle class, who largely bears the brunt of illegal immigration. Again, when you look at Bush, you pick up recurring themes that belie the philosophy of the admin. By thinking thru Bush's positions on illegals, you quickly come to the conclusion that Bush violates his oath by not protecting US sov, and worse, doesn't believe in US sov at all and therefore holds the Constit in contemp and wants it scrapped ASAP. Ditto for Congress. Knowing this, Bush's other actions make sense. He even said in his speech tonight that he was protecting the minority in Iraq. This comment can be taken in a few diff ways, but knowing Bush I can tell you one of them- it's another comment supportive of collectivist ideology- the majority is, in fact, who Bush must please in Iraq if peace has any hope, yet tonight he does not say this- h goes out of his way to say the US govt specifically will protect minorities. This is a rather small issue, I admit. But I think, after watching the Bush admin and its surprisingly collectivist ideology, it is significant. It is about govt favoring groups not in the majority and ignoring the majority. If its a coincidence, it's a big one, in that it just happens to be rooted in Marxist ideology.

About Bush's portrayal of the Mexs- I've been studying the Marxists- this is SOP- create a caricature of goodness for the lower class and eliminate the perception of any negatives in order to assign rights to that group which would otherwise be properly perceived by the majority as unfair and even outrageous. I have watched Bush in photo ops pushing caricatures of mexicans and ignoring all negatives to skew perception of them. Does anyone doubt that this is Marxist on it's face? And why can't we all see it for what it is?

He also plays another Marxist card- a negative stance on the middle class (outsourcing, as an example)- when it comes to illegals, the welfare of the majority never enters the discussion. No one in the majority is ever portrayed as in need of anything- the assumption is always the the middle class has all it needs. Images in the media are carefully controlled. Look for this and you will notice it.

Notice how the welfare of the majority NEVER enters the Bush equation? Or any of the DC crowd's equation? Notice how everything you hear in DC is about this group and that group? It's because this admin is outwardly collectivist and so is Congress.

Bush's ideology of foreign revolutions to spread his groups ideology is also collectivist, it's most famous proponent being Trotsky. Bush has surrounded himself with men who idolize a communist. One could argue that a neocon coup, of sorts, has taken place under Bush. I haven't heard a better reason as to why Bush has gone collectivist on all fronts.

The neocons openly venerate Trotsky and communism to this day. And they are not called on it. Since Bush has become a hard core neocon, it is reasonable to assume he has accepted at least a portion of the communist collectivist ideology. I have yet to hear any of the neos deny their commie roots. And what of the role of the media in the ascent of the neocons. From day one, the media has called the openly communist neocons "conservatives!"

"For me, it began with CFR. His breaking of his campaign promise. That was an eyeopener for this man who voted for President Bush in 2000. Then the Education Bill. No Child Left Behind."

CFR is typical of Bush in that it takes away power from the people and gives power to DC incumbants, who are like the elite ruling class these days. When Bush got away with the CFR lie, I knew we were in trouble. No CLB is typical of Bush collectivism I spoke of earlier. Central control of local matters, the idea that people can't solve problems in their own communities. a DC beaurocrat with pol ties is better suited to the task. NCLB was also an example of how out of control his spending would become. I disagree with you on pursuing Clinton. Enough is enough with Clinton. Part of the Clinton legacy left to us by Reps is that a BJ is criminal, yet treason is not.

"They promised us we would see the wave of government encroachment of power in every facet of our lives beaten back. After little more than 4 years, we have a Federal Government in size, scope and power far greater than anything in our history"

They abandoned that line years ago. Supporting Reps was made into a lesser of 2 evils game, in which supporting Reps regarding anything was good, because the Dems were more evil on every issue universally. Truly a masterful deception by the Rep party and their propagandists. By thoroughly casting the 'libruls' as evil, the enemy , and dangerous and the Reps as their diametric opposite, good, many BOTS were sworn to loyalty. But the lesser of 2 evils was brilliant in that it provided a framework in which Reps could totally screw the constituents and yet maintain viability, because no matter what, the Reps were better than the Dems. Social issues were used brilliantly in this regard, convincing voters that the Reps positions on social issues were what was really important, and the political positions and actions were less important- and no matter what should be ignored to support Rep representatives with the correct positions on social issues. Meanwhile, they all didn't even realize that politicians do not really support social, they say and support only that which advances their power. Pretty dumb group of Reps that make up the party. A group of men who surrendered all conserv principles and adopted an ideology near the opposite of conservatism... because they were told to.

"Alex Jones is looking smarter every day when he asserts "America is being destroyed by design"."

It all depends what you mean by destroyed. In my studies, the one consistent thing I see is the advancement of collectivist ideology and the scrapping of individualism and rights. The neocons are the collectivists that literally took over the party and now are imposing collectivism on the people in the US that have always been opposed to it, and still are. We see this domestically and foreign policy wise. Plus the individual is under assault. We haven't built a police state dwarfing that of the USSR in a few years because a few Arabs flew planes into buildings 4 years ago.

Instead of destroyed, I see it as more of a coup. By a group with a collectivist ideology that knows very well how to impose their ideology to achieve the number one goal of collectivism- to allow a small group the leverage necessary to achieve a revolution of sorts and seize power- and then to dominate the majority- its what I believe is happening now, orchestrated by the neocons. The Dem collectivists, the stereotypical liberals of yesteryear, were never able to achieve what the neocons have- eliminating the resistance to collectivism known as Conservatism and Libertarianism by force.

There is reason to be concerned about the future of the US because the US is officially collectivist- both collectivist parties sharing 100% power. It requires no conspiracy, just corruption of traditional American ideology over time. We have a tendency to view all revolution as violent- but that's not the way it goes. People have a hard time viewing what the neocons have accomplished as a revolution. But it is one nevertheless. The majority no longer rules. The most powerful minority does. Politician after politician for decades sold out traditional American govt. In a collectivist system, the majority is continually attacked. In the US, the majority will be attacked continually- as it has been. So we will all be out here on the internet complaining for some time.

I think the idea of collectivist ideology eclipsing that exemplified by the founding principles is the most important issue today. Over the last few months I studied the history of collectivism and what groups have traditionally used it. I studied the actual nature of it, and found it was one of the root causes of our probs in the US. I recommend that everyone carefully study collectivism and then look at the current situation in the US. Doing this allowed me to identify collectivism as a common cause of many of our problems. To understand why the founding principles are being trashed, study collectivism. When collectivism is the prevailing ideology, as in the US today, there is constant pressure against individual rights, sovereignty and freedom.

We must all find out why it is happening before solutions can be proposed and action taken.
