I thought the failure to defend the Southern border a sufficient reason to
refrain from supporting the President in 2004. (No, of course, I could not
support Kerry or Nader, who were equally uanacceptable.)

I thought that the farcical speech in New Orleans, promising
$200,000,000,000 to impress the former slum dwellers that the President was
on their side a sufficient reason to repudiate the President as in any sense
a Conservative.

I thought the May 15, 2006 speech on Immigration, worthy of a direct rebuke
in http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/bush1.htm
as I had earlier responded to the confused and intellectually vacant Second
Inaugural Address in http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/debate2.htm.

But never have I heard a more contemptible pandering to all that is wrong in
America over the past two generations, than in the President's address to
the NAACP, this morning. The man does not have a clue as to the history or
values of the Nation he is supposed to be leading. When the man suggests
that a Leftwing movement was necessary to achieve American purpose, he
slanders not only the Founding Fathers, but a dozen generations of the
settler stock, which formulated our institutions, our cultural heritage, and
our ascent to prominence in the world.

There will still be some who claim to be Conservative who will still defend
him.
But those who care about the integrity of our institutions, our public
discourse, our history and the legacy we pass on to our posterity, will
repudiate this contemptible and pathetic successor to an Office once graced
by men of the magnitude and nobility of a Washington and a Jefferson.
