President Bush is rapidly declining in popularity with Conservatives. The President has been hated almost hysterically by Leftists and Democrats for nearly seven years.
Dwell on this: Internet buzz is a major modem of Conservative dissemination of information because Conservatives KNOW the Mainstream Media (MSM) will not truthfully portray a story that supports Conservatism or President Bush. The difficulty with Internet dependence is that the information dissemination needs to often be verified by many reputable Conservative sources before it can be conceivable that the information has not been warped or planted merely as propaganda.
Now that the President is becoming unpopular with Conservatives he has become the target of Conservative venom as nearly the twenty-first century Benedict Arnold of Conservativism and Neoconservativism. There is a laundry list of betrayals: Ramos and Campos imprisoned for stopping illegal aliens doing drug smuggling, I. Scooter Libby being allowed to be convicted on trumped up charges, the harassment of Tom DeLay, collaboration with a Democratic Senate on a controversial illegal alien Bill and on and on.
Cliff Kinkaid who writes for Accuracy in Media is a person of huge respect as a source of information. I say that to honor him. Kinkaid has written an article that adds to the Conspiracy Theory of George W. Bush flirting with selling out. The Bush Administration has called the concept of a North American Union (Canada, America and Mexico) is rumor and manipulation of a little fact to create a lot of myth. Kinkaid cites evidence to the contrary. Kinkaid reports that President Bush could not pass the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) when the Republicans controlled the Senate. Kinkaid believes that Bush can push UNCLOS through a Democratic controlled Senate. Kinkaid believes the NAU and UNCLOS are both instances that will pass American sovereignty away from the USA and to the United Nations.
Are these issues Conspiracy Theories that should be banished to the works of fiction? OR are these issues the shadows of a changing global politic that will affect traditional American Constitutional government and sovereignty?
You really should read Cliff Kinkaid:
The Bush Administration is becoming more and more isolated in its political clout as 2008 nears. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the Republican loss of control in the Senate and House in 2006.
Now that the Democrats have vested political power via legislation, their money donations or money donated to anti-Bush organizations is increasing by volumes. This affords the Democrats (in Party and Leftist organizations) a propaganda machine that is mighty and difficult to correct.
Worse for President Bush is that the one time centralized Conservative pundits, politicians and blogs have become fractured with a few still supporting the President but many abandoning him over their own pet peeve agendas.
As the Politico puts it “the Bush White House Juggernaut” has been broken. With the huge Conservative dissent on the White House/Senate proposed legislation about illegal aliens, I am convinced the President is feeling very squeezed.
I myself stand by President Bush’s decisions to confront terrorism at home and abroad; however there is a huge appearance that the execution of planning was deficient.
Afghanistan and Iraq should have been invaded. The former for its obvious support of al-Qaeda and its Islamofascist homicidal suicide attack on American soil; the later is justified because of Saddam’s support for global terrorism and the genocide of his own nation’s citizens that were a source of challenge to his Sunni/tribal power base.
Bush’s mistake was not using the proper documented reasoning for the invasion; rather the Administration used the WMD card. I still believe that card is viable unfortunately lack of planning allowed Saddam or Russia or Syria to extricate the smoking gun of the existence of WMD. I don’t know if Bush was prepared to take a political hit by allowing the Russians to cover-up their complicity in aiding Saddam or if the American leadership was inept and allowed the WMD to be withdrawn from Iraq. We may never know or if historians are lucky, fifty years down the road some nations archives are opened to allow the truth to come out. (Some what like the Soviet murders the Czar’s family and Communist infiltration into American government.)
The President obviously had his own tools to counter anti-war Leftist and Democratic Party propaganda but failed to use them. NOW the President is forced to make unsavory deals with the devil to get anything moving politically for the rest of his term of Office. If the Left becomes too fringe, the only weapon President Bush has now is the VETO.
Let us pray President Bush makes good decisions the rest of his term AND let us pray Conservatives can once again unite behind someone to take down the Democrats. (My favorite has not even announced a candidacy as yet: Fred Thompson)
Since Donald Rumsfeld has left the Bush Administration, there is the appearance that President Bush has been overwhelmed in a vigorous Foreign Policy. The President seems to have taken the 2006 election results as an opportunity to abandon being tough on rogue nations such as North Korea.
The President has made a deal that nearly mirrors President Clinton’s deal in the 90’s. The deal is based on trust and I am not talking about America’s trustworthiness. Just as the Clinton Administration made a deal trusting Kim Jong Il, so has President Bush.
America’s trust led to an insane nuclear micro-nation that utilizes WMD as blackmail to extort the Capitalist Western style nations into providing the necessities of life for North Korea. This is ridiculous for we all know that it is not the North Korean people that enjoy the largesse of Kim Jong Il.
So here is America again with a decision that will bite her butt made by a Republican NeoConservative President of all people.
I have some good old fashion conspiracy thinking as to why President Bush has made such a horrendous deal: the North Korean deal is all about Machiavellian politics. Strike a deal to put off North Korea until another day, and then strike Iran.
This will free up a military already hindered by a cut-n-run Democratic Party controlled Congress.

Will Iran get the North Korea deal?
