rbell, I’m afraid I must agree almost completely. If not for 9/11, and the fact that an American President was finally forced to do something about Radical Islam’s War Against the Rest of the World® (a blue dress prevented Clinton from making good on his plans to do that in 1998), it’s pretty clear that GWB’s presidency would have mirrored his father’s pretty closely.

However, I wouldn’t hang this list on GWB alone. Except for Reagan and one or two notable statesmen, the Republican “leadership” has been playing this same game for some four decades. Since Nixon, the two-party system has been a case of far-left socialists in the Democrat Party pretending to duke it out with center-left Republicans who’ve willingly played the “bad cop” / “fascists” in a script written and produced by the left’s lying, entrenched, Fifth Column media shills.

Conservatism hasn’t had a voice since Reagan. And until it gets one we’ll be heading down the slippery slope to socialist “Utopia” at one of two different rates regardless which party has the majority.
