As the country rings in our new president we say goodbye to the Bush-Cheney Administration, if that’s what you call booing the outgoing President of the United States while he’s wishing fair well and good luck to the crowd on Inauguration Day. The lack of respect the American people have for a man who has done more good than harm is completely unpatriotic and at times criminal. The people have accused Mr. Bush of criminal wrongdoing. They have even gone to say he is a constitutional violating racist and murder. However that is not true, the real problem is the Left-wing Liberals who have spent the last 2 years twisting every word, every problem, every issue, until it fits their way and the American people bought it on Election Day. Has George Bush violated the Constitution??? The answer is yes. Like every president in the past several years, he along with Congress has violated the 10th Amendment with so many acts of legislation that takes the power away from the states. Take this stupid TV transfer to digital act that is about to take place later this month. Where in the Constitution dose it say anything about public broadcasting rights??? Why should the federal government be allowed to force all public (not government provided) TV stations across the country to change how they produce their signal??? Dose it in any way make our country safer??? Dose it affect how our government operates??? No, that is why it’s a matter for the state governments which are better able to tailor their TV stations for their unique region and populace. Just like the No Child Left Behind Act. Congress and the White House again violated the 10th Amendment by setting federal government standards for state government school. So that’s it. That is the big constitutional violation you will find in the history of the Bush Administration. The War on Terror is an actual war, as declared by Congress, and has been carried out as required by sections 1 and 2 of the Constitution. How we treated terrorist we caught in the last 8 years dose not violate the constitution because they are enemy combatants in an actual war, not the common felon as outlined in the 5th Amendment. The Supreme Court would have you believe otherwise but one thing they forget is this is WAR. So let’s be honest, President Bush and Dick Cheney have kept our country safer, they went after a foreign threat to America that had the time to move their arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction before we invaded, and just like war, troops died. That is what you people are really upset about, you think Bush lied to us about the weapons, but we know that at one point in time those weapons did exist in Iraq so obviously they were relocated before we could get them, and in the course a lot of troops died. But no troop in Iraq has died in vain, we have brought democracy to Iraq and we are catching al-Qaeda terrorist there which makes it part of the War on Terror. This has not been a pointless war and for those who say differently you dishonor the memory of those who have died in service. George Bush has been a good president, not the greatest, but better then his predecessor and better than his father, but the Left-wing Liberals have twisted every word, every issue, and every choice he has made to blind you from the good he has done. We were lucky to have him and Dick Cheney. They left behind a legacy that we should dare not judge until the real liars and the real racist are gone.
