G'day all,
Here are some of the changes GW considers important enough to do we can call it Stuff good old bush has also done:
1. cancelled plans for lowering allowable arsenic levels in drinking water, exposing potentially thousands to water poisoning.
2. curbed federal funding of stem cell research to only 60 cell lines.
3. chose candidates on the scientific advisory council by ideology (eg. opposition to abortion etc) instead of professional credentials.
4. Systematically ignored scientific advice when making decisions, when it goes against what they think.
5. expanded commercial logging, reduced protection of wetland nature sanctuaries, opened restricted areas to oil drilling.
6. border restrictions for foreign researchers, and encouraged censorship of scientific literature, and creation of "sensitive but unclassified" classification (incidentally, even the Reagan administration rejected this as impractical and damaging to science).
7. provided funding to fight against freedom of information cases.
8. removal of articles opposing the government's line on issues such as contraception and abortion from government linked websites.

Amp,
If you are really a seeker of truth, and before I have to spend the time to show you the real agenda of Bush behind those items that you’ve mentioned. Please investigate from various sources on what you have indicated, …and you’ll be getting closer to that truth you seek!!
:m:

Managed to increase both expendures in the budget and spark the rise of inflation.

Mangaged to do what Clinton could not. Institute a new branch of government.

- Was a cheerleader.
- Dodged Vietnam by joining the National Guard.
- Lost a few hundred million dollars in businesses before getting into politics.
- Scored lower than a gorilla on an IQ test.
- Boosted spending on intelligence, military, and bureaucracy.

When bush was first elected he did two things that really struck me.
1. proposed we tear up the arctic wildlife preserve for oil
2. lowered fuel efficiency standards for air conditioners to a point where in one year the excess fuel use would excede all the oil in the arctic wildlife oil reserve.

Did he really score lower than a gorilla on an IQ test?

what the hell are those . . democratic talking points? quit being such a god damned sheep.

No, I don't agree with all his policies, but marginalizing him is irresponsible and ignorant.

some of the environmental things mentioned above were quietly occuring while clinton was around (source is stupid white men, michael moore - source of source is in the book... :) ).

dont get me wrong bush is the biggest threat to a better world in a long long time... what is needed though is a full system upgrade.

this one keeps crashing until one day it just aint going to work.

G'day all
Many of those items were reported by the media, his agenda can be found in the statements and reports of a Project for a New American Century. here is the link: http://www.newamericancentury.org/index.html

Its a NWO (Illumnati) think tank founded by I think Cheney, Rumsfeld and some others who don't readily come to mind.

thank you amp. that is a great link. i will be passing that along to some of my friends.

Everyone mentions this...is this rumor true at all? Was he ever a coke fiend? Or an occassional user, what? Does anybody know?
