Some will claim I am as pessimistic as Jaguar. However the pessimism is focused only on those who fear to innovate - fear to think long term - fear to advance mankind - fear to trust the little people to do what is best for the little people. Who are these right wing religious extremists?

One recent example of a minority who would impose their morality on everyone else. They again stifle innovation, research, and long term planning - George Jr's stem cell interference - step one in a long term plan to advance right wing interference in all American life.

George Jr and his moralists are excellent at lying by half truths. After all, did George Jr not campaign as a pragmatist when in reality he only worships religous extremist intolerance? In a crowd of extremists, George Jr is a moderate. In the world, he is what all intolerant extremists are - liars.

He told us we could pay down the debt and still provide a tax rebate. Your $300 surplus is in the mail (he even wasted taxpayer money to report the classic line - the check's in the mail). It is small change - will not even pay 1 month rent. But then it has already changed the government back into Reaganomics - high debt spending. From the Economist of 14 Aug 2001, we have another example of what happens when extremists try to save us from ourselves:

""The reversal was startling. In the spring, the Treasury said that it expected to retire $57 billion of public debt between June and September making this the umpteenth quarter of debt repayment. Now, the Treasury says, it will have to borrow $51 billion, making this the largest quarter for Federal borrowing since the start of 1996. The $108 billion difference between the two numbers is one of the largest plunges in the governments fiscal position even recorded.
In truth, this is just one quarter of the year, and the budget for the year as a whole is still likely to be in surplus. The administration can point to three extenuating circumstances for the quarter's slide. ... What Mr Bush cannot do [although he still does] is continue to claim that America can have a tax cut, a budget surplus, and big new spending programs all together. The official figure will show a surplus of $160 billion; but if you remove the surpluses for Social Security and Medicare, which the administration is not suppose to touch, it will almost certainly be in deficit. Revealingly, officials now call the Medicare surplus an accounting phenomenon.""

Now lets remember that Bush still has not started his big spending plans for a military buildup, another plan for Star Wars Mark X while terminating ABM and other treaties that helped defuse and end the cold war. Bush is still limited in spending due to a frugal Clinton administration. But there is the expected recession that always follows 'Tax Cuts to stimulate the economy'. How will he deal with that predictable phenomenon.

This is what happens when extremists decide to save us from our rights, put guns in the hands of those right wing extremists who desire 150mm howisters, harm the society by saving us from drugs while taking brides and protecting drug pushers - cigarette companies, and calls something that looks and acts like mold as a human life to be worshipped rather than advanced and studied.

Previously, George Jr got some here to think that a tax cut was a good thing - the facts be damned then and the facts made obvious now. Did anyone see his interview with the lady ABC News reporter? His entire stem cell decision was made from a single page NIH summary which he understood none of it. In the telecast, he could not answer any questions on his decision and he kept referring to the NIH report - because he knew nothing about facts. He fears and remains ignorant of science that might challenge extremist right wing religious beliefs. No wonder he still has no science advisors on his staff and probably never will. But he did understand that extremists could get a little more of 'protecting us from ourselves'.

The man is a right wing extremist with no knowledge of facts while blindly worshipping the principals of right wing religious extremism. When will he call for the castration of all homosexuals to end the spread of Aids? That is logical if you are a right wing religious extremist? That can be expected from anyone who says, "A man who marries outside of his religious inherits the devil for a father-in-law."

Curious that even a promiscuious man permits and encourages innovation - protects the principals of libertarians - promotes tolerance - lets an economy propser and grow. No wonder George Jr so hates CA. They innovate. They are tolerant. They advance mankind at the expense of right wing fears.

Well so much for the surplus, because we have the man we wanted and have the tax cut that some were even duped into thinking is a good thing. What is more stupid than a tax cut? A missile defense from a threat that will not exist, but that can recreate a cold war - that will create how much more poverty - that will be created at the expense of how much American economic growth? That is the problem with those who would protect us from ourselves. One of their greatest achievements was the 30 years war - that killed more people than the Black Plague - or anything else most destructive.
