Like the vast majority of Americans, I don’t harbor blind, irrational, or any other kind of hatred for George W. Bush. In this, I am in good company with at least 52% or 53% of the population. That’s all it will take in 2004, by the way.

Sadly, the cash wrung from already squeezed taxpayers, small businesses and investors through taxes and fees is not treated with the same tender concern by our Great Leader.

One observer likens the Bush economy to the guy who maxed his credit cards, pawned his property, and mortgaged his house and now has "a big wad of walking around money." It is amazing that we haven’t seen more in the media about the financial mess we are in. An unnecessary mess, one created by the very Republican Party once known as conservative, meaning among other things, "restrained in style," "moderate," "cautious."

Can George, Dick and Karl Rove turn this tide? I don’t think so. The federal ship of largesse, sloth, waste and arrogance is already far from port. Its cheerful crew guzzles free drinks and slaps backs, steaming under full power in the opposite direction of the solid rock of American tradition and Constitutional values. Even if Bush reversed engines – a painful and jolting procedure requiring real backbone and a sober reassessment of his presidency-- it will make no difference this late in the game.

1. Is LewRockwell.com an objective source?

That name sounds familiar. Wasn't there some American fascist named Rockwell? Is this the same guy?

2. It looks as "objective" as many of the other sites generally cited here.

Having skimmed through it briefly, I like it and will bookmark it.

The guy you're referring to was George Lincoln Rockwell, apparently no relation. That Nazi CREEP was assasinated by one of his own followers in 1967: http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/august/25/newsid_3031000/3031928.stm

3. I just watched the DVD:

"THE TRUTH UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE STORY BEHIND THE IRAQ WAR", and noticed that Ms. Kwiatkowski was one of that distinguished group of high level experts in diplomacy and intelligence who were interviewed. Just she alone, has FAR more military service than that entire Chicken Hawk Brigade.

Check the website at: http://www.truthuncovered.com . The transcript and selected clips are available there.
