Believe me, I don't like everything Bush is doing either. He is too liberal for me in some areas. Especially domestic issues. He spends money like it is going out of style and has expanded the government too much. Dept. of Homeland Security is a big joke. He is also scared of the criticism from liberals. In a way he should be, they have all the major media pushing for them. He should hold his ground on more issues. He does not. He flips flops to avoid the criticism and I also wish he would start firing more of the dead wood. I hate the way he is afraid to fire anyone who fucks up. Most of the fuckups responsible for 9/11 due to incompetance have been promoted and that is ridiculous.

The PD is not where I got any ideals from. The streets of NY just confirmed my ideals.

I remember having political discussions as a kid. I was always a political conservative even as a child. I used to have a politician in my family. She was from my mother's side. That wing of the family was very "left wing" ...definitely socialists, and I hated all of them for the ridiculous notions they would throw around. I was the only kid out of the entire extended family that ever called them on their bullshit. They didn't like me very much. It's embarrassing when a kid bests you in a political argument and actually is aware of issues.

I too can say your ideas are fucked up. That's the funny thing about perception. You have grown up with socialism. You don't know any better. Your father remembers a different time and saw first hand how evil socialists can be.
