Floyd's Opinion
Taking President Bush to taskJanuary 8, 2004 Dear Sir: Is there anyone out there who can still look me straight in the eye and tell me that George W. Bush is a conservative? The education bill, the farm subsidy bill, the prescription drug entitlement, just to name a few - and now comes his edict from-on-high creating legal citizens out of ILLEGAL aliens. The federal leviathan has grown larger under Bush than it ever did under Clinton. And yet Bush and the Republican Party continue to tout him as a conservative. Please! Bush should stop the charade and simply switch to the Democrat party. At least that would help him avoid any charges of hypocrisy. I know, I know - we are at war and Bush is doing a superlative job of protecting our nation. This excuse continues to be used to distract us from the destruction from within. We cannot continue to suffer the unchecked growth of the federal government and its bureaucracy (and its cost) without eventually experiencing dire consequences because of it. I fear a middle-eastern terrorist less than the "enemy from within". A foreign attacker cannot hope to achieve the success that will ultimately come from our own ignorance and apathy. We have met the enemy and he is us. Wake up America! Sic Semper Tyrannis, Floyd C. Bayne
