A lot of criticisms have been leveled against G.W. Bush, some fair, many not. But I have come to believe the view of a lot of folks, including scores here, that he has an agenda on Mexico that doesn’t exactly jibe with the views of we humble nationalists.
If you need a reminder, get a load of this:
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court stepped into a Texas death penalty case Monday that mixes Bush administration claims of executive power with the role of international law in state court proceedings.
Now this fellow was convicted and sentenced under the same Texas laws that apply to the behavior of everyone in the State. But our procedures weren’t enough for the International Court of Justice, which said that the proceedings against over 50 Mexicans violate international law. This Court, by the way, touts on its website:
Of the six principal organs of the United Nations, it is the only one not located in New York (United States of America).
Certainly comforting to all America haters.
The International Court held that the USA had violated the Vienna Convention by failing to provide the requirements of consular notice and access to the accused persons (there is no allegation or finding that the convicted were not guilty), and directed that the US “shall” take steps necessary to halt executions of certain of the convicted, and that the US “shall” report back to the International Court concerning measures taken to implement the Court’s order. (A summary of the opinion is here.)
And in this battle between a State of the USA and an international court (whose members include, in addition to westerners, judges from Madagascar, Jordan, China, Mexico and the Russian Federation), with whom do you think our President sided?
Unusual for a death penalty case, the administration is siding with Medellin in asserting that the president’s primacy in conducting foreign policy is being challenged.
President Bush ordered new state court hearings for the defendants based on the international court ruling. But a Texas appeals court said the president exceeded his authority by intruding into the affairs of the independent judiciary.
Imagine that: A President of the United States siding with a foreign goverment against one of the several states, and “ordering” new state court trials based on the ruling of some “judges” in The Hague!! Jimmy Carter? Yes. Bill Clinton? Surely. But “Republican” George Bush? (And when did GW become annointed Jurist in Chief?)
I wonder some days how his approval rating could possibly be as high as 29%.

Nothing like job insecurity for GWB. Oh, well, he will soon be living off his high-priced government pension on his ranch in Crawford, Texas. We still think he is a “nice” guy, too nice for being President. Nice guys usually finish last.
Something about Bushes and New World Orders.
Last night on the History Channel they had a special on the Antichrist and the end of the world. Many of the Antichrist qualities are abundant in GWB. See this.
The International Court has no jurisdiction over U.S.courts but they keep trying. Pres.Bush is sounding more and more like the enemy and is really starting to scare me now.

I’m not sure GW has the popularity to be the Antichrist. Of course, a lot can happen in a year and a half. (Remember when his Dad went from “can’t lose” to “it’s the economy, stupid”?)
A case similar to this happened when Bush was governor. President Clinton & Allbright tried to step in and stop an execution. Bush’s reply then was classic and right on. He said,”You dont come to Texas and kill Texans.” The killer was executed. Now he does this?!? I just joined “Conservatives to Impeach Bush.”
I would like all the jerks that throw the conspiracy stone at me with frequency to step forward.
Listen up mojos. You stuff your head up GWs arse and pretend he loves this country or you can pull it out long enough to see things the way it really is.
A reckoning is coming!
When Clinton and company were doing this we con..servatoids were up in arms. WELL?
I guess I was right. There is a new party that will reign hell upon this country. Coniberals.
DJ
Every time you sorta/kinda/maybe join the “911 was an inside job” crowd, this jerk still rolls around on the floor laughing.
You can laugh all you want. Your government has been taken over by coniberals. This story is one of many that should make it clear to you.
Hey shannon. Maybe you can go sort it out at the ballot box…bwahahahahaha
When it becomes clear that frothing at the mouth about how steel doesn’t melt gets results I’ll give up on the ballot box. Until then…
This is so disturbing on many levels. Is someone blackmailing GW so heavily that he cannot make decisions good for this country? I can’t find any reason to support him when it comes to immigration and relations with mexico.
Ineptidude
You are a good slave. Keep hoping for the ineptitude to end. GW like Perry et al are just inept. Thats all.
Thats why GW sided with the UN and Hague. Thats why our borders are wide open. Thats why our soldiers are being tried. Thats why millions of illegals are demanding rights on our soil.
Thats it! What an easy unthinking excuse!
Unacceptable.
Rah Rah go team go.
Oh I forgot Dude.
Thats also why they lie to us. Inpetitude makes them lie.
Okay, I’ve waited long enough. Doesn’t ANYONE see the link between the tanker blowing up on I-10 in Houston and the tanker blowing up in San Fran? It’s a conspiracy I tell you. Laugh at me all you want all you suckers that think heat melts steel. There will be a connection on WND to Bushco very soon proving it goes all the way to the top!

Poor soul, it took you long enough to come around. Of course, the plan was put together by GHW Bush, who, many decades ago, arranged for these specific spots on the Houston and San Francisco freeways to be built of paper mache (quality paper mache, no doubt, but still paper mache) to fail on cue. Voila!

As long as it’s not tomorrow. I have rallies to attend.
By the way, your keyboard is dyslexic or something.
My question to everyone is this. Bush didn’t develop these tendencies overnight. Everyone knew he was like this in his first term , yet he was voted in again. This just proves that people on both sides will vote for anyone as long as their office can stay in power.
I meant their party.
gad, no it just shows what losers the Dems put up against him. I would take a loser like GWB over a bigger loser in Kerry or Algore.
What we need is a choice. Not dumb and dumber.
Is it too early for C.O.W. nominations? I’m going with gregg’s #22.
Sorry, it was typed in the wrong language.
gadboy #20 nails it. And until we demand better we are gonna keep gettin what we got.
#25 - not really, because he thinks the Dems are the answer.
Gregg #22 really nails it:
jimb
No actually I made my point. Has absolutely nothing to do with whether gaddy is a dem or not.
We get choice by the way.
Squawk,
While you and I agree that we have a choice other than the two biggies, the vast majority of Americans seem to have overlooked that fact (or at least they had until recently). A rather prominent conservative wonders about the demise of the Republicans:
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MWZjMDBlZDg2MDlmMDM4MmE1MGFmNjlkOTE5OWVkOTc=
The point being that people will, for a time, choose the lesser of two evils. But they won’t necessarily do it forever.
Just give me someone to vote for! Someone with good moral character and conservative. Someone who is strong and confident. I don’t care if he belongs to the Bart Simpson party….. I’ll work for him and vote for him.

Fred Thompson
The Dude (Oh wise and Wonderful Oracle of the Malted Beverage)
And you are are perzactly correctomundo. I think the conservative block of the Republican party has said eneough is enough. Conservatives did not flock in droves to the Demoratic party. They refused to show up.
When the Republican Party and George Bush basically refused to endorse the Republican candidate opposing Lieberman that spoke volumes to me. The Republicans also backed the like of Arlen Spector, this does not go unnoticed by the electorate.
I think the “punish the Republicans” wave has just begun. 2008 will not be pretty especially when I hear the regular bunch of Rep complain about the media and the dems for their loss. That only goes so far and they really need to take a long hard look at their soul.
Bush’s compassionate conservative (read liberalism) was the worst thing in the world to happen to the Republicans as a party.

Fred Thompson
I hope this post doesnt pop up as a duplicate, but… William Buckley said today he isnt sure the republican party can recover from the effects of the war in Iraq. And yes, Fred for pres… only he isnt running yet. I hear the dems are busy digging up dirt on him.
I would vote for Fred Thompson (based on my knowledge of him at this point). I think he’s wise to not declare his candidacy hastily. Just my 2 cents.
Thompson/Hunter ticket on ‘08! Yeah, baby!
AM, Fred will run. He has the whole Reagan machine behind him pushing him to run. Expect an announcement during May. The GOP blogging poll listed him at 69%, followed by Guiliani. I’ll try to find that link.
Has anyone ever heard Captain Ahab Bush say anything on this issue that benefits the average American citizen? I haven’t heard it.
Instead we get “My pledge to you and your government, BUT MORE IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO, is I’ll work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform,”
The Dixie Chicks got chastised for insulting Ahab on foreign soil. Yet, when Ahab himself, on Mexican soil, promises he will work hard for the people of Mexico and not the people of the USA, nary a word is heard.
I have never once heard Delusional Captain Ahab Bush say:
I’m concerned about the billions of dollars taxpayers are being bilked because of the illegal alien problem.
I’m concerned about our overcrowded schools and the disappearance of our heritage and culture because of the illegal alien problem.
I’m concerned and saddened about the thousands of US citizens killed or maimed by illegal aliens.
I’m concerned about the ultra violent gangs, coming across our borders and preying on our citizens, via drugs and worse.
I’m concerned and saddened about the fine police officers who have been slain by illegal aliens.
I’m concerned about all the diseases coming in via illegal aliens. I’m concerned about our border patrol agents, being shot at or run down and when they try to defend themselves, they end up in prison.
No all I hear him say is:
“They do the Jobs Americans, won’t do”
“They all just come here to work”
“We need comprehensive immigration reform”
“You see every day the values of hard work, and family, and faith that immigrants bring”
What about the values of hard work, and family, and faith that Americans bring?
It is obvious he doesn’t care how many American citizens get steam rolled in the process. Ramos and Compeon are examples of that. They rot in prison while Ahab plays the bongos.
Make no mistake about it. If Ahab’s Shamnesty bill passes, this ship is sunk. It may flounder for a while, like the Titanic, but it will sink and there will not be enough life vests to go around.
