| Ironies of Bush's Presidency | ||||
| 1. Bush claims the conservative platform which usually includes reform for a smaller government, and decreasing National spending. But he instead not only constantly strives for a government that is more influential within citizen�s lives but as well as those over seas and to effectively carry this out he has increased spending.
2. Bush has indicated that his economic policy is continuously stimulating the economy, by providing tax cuts to everyone in proportion to their capital income. This policy only ensures that there will be a polarity within the economy in an exponential relationship, basically the rich will get richer and the poor get poorer. Just for everyone�s information a strong economy is defined by the percentage of the citizen�s (higher being preferred) within the middle range of income in relation to the amount of jobs and quality of jobs available. And we all know without an incentive to keep large corporations in the US the likely hood of this decreases. 3. Bush claims that he is a very religious man, and that god instructed him to go to war with Iraq. I was always wondering who bush was listening to, and what kind of god would tell anyone to go to war killing thousands of innocent people, unless he was more inclined to listening to the devil�Or more logically it is all bullshit that he just made it up to get support for the war. 4. Bush has stripped away our civil rights which are representative of the essential foundation of the Unites States by the means of the patriot act, in which its name alone is hypocritical. This act allows for investigative measures to be carried out on any citizen by any means necessary in the name of �intelligence purposes�. Citizens may be detained without cause for 6 month periods without judicial review. This is all based on the notion of suspicion, which is very evasive in its nature. Now I have a better understanding of what he defines patriotism. |
