Presidents always leave a personal, handwritten note for their successor. Just wondering what the tone and substance of Bush's letter to Hillary might be.
Oh, Repubs who haven't taken their daily Ritalin dose need not respond.

Democrat candidates keep repeating all of the free stuff they will give to poor people if they become president. They don't care taxpayers have to pay for the handouts and handouts stifles innovation. (The U.S. economy is highly dependent on innovation.)

He told Cuban American leaders in Miami that he would veto legislation that would lift the embargo in Cuba. But, 2002, he wrote Bush urging him to lift the embargo.

More politics as usual...saying whatever you need to get elected. What do you think?

To those who grouse constantly about politicians, try it and see what it is like. I've been there. I won the election. It's no cup of tea. And it's not all about money and cronies once you get into office. This is reality.

I am a conservative. I believe that a person's foremost duty to society is to be self supporting. I believe in a strong militia. I believe in defending our freedoms from those who have vowed to take it away. I believe in God. I believe homosexuals are not immoral but are born the way they are.
I believe abortion for convenience is wrong. I believe the flag should not be burned. I believe that addicts (alcohol and drug) have a disease and can be rehabilitated if they want to. I believe that every person should be given a second chance. I believe that long term government handouts create welfare dependency.

This model posits a traditional nuclear family, with the father having primary responsibility for supporting and protecting the family as well as the authority to set overall policy, to set strict rules for the behavior of children, and to enforce the rules. The mother has the day-to-day responsibility for the care of the house, raising the children, and upholding the father's authority. Children must respect and obey their parents; by doing so they build character, that is, self-discipline and self-reliance. Love and nurturance are, of course, a vital part of family life but can never outweigh parental authority, which is itself an expression of love and nurturance—tough love. Self-discipline, self-reliance, and respect for legitimate authority are the crucial things that children must learn.

Once children are mature, they are on their own and must depend on their acquired self-discipline to survive. Their self-reliance gives them authority over their own destinies.

The democratic argument: The concentration of wealth in a small group allows for anti-democratic influence of social policy. The wealthy have the ability to create their own "think tanks" and astro-turf front organizations. These are then used to create the perception that the public is in support of their self-serving objectives. Recent studies have shown how these techniques were used in the repeal of the estate tax debate as well as in the rise of new factions opposing the liberal social policies of the Episcopal church. When such vast amounts of money are under the control of a tiny group the basic mechanisms of democracy are undermined.

Do Americans have "enough"?
Do Americans have "enough" whether it is money, power, oil, or anything other you can think of?

Would you be satisfied with just enough, or do many Americans not have enough, or do we have too much? What are the environmental, social, and global consequences of how much each of us has and consumes? Who is responsible for deciding what is enough?

I get the impression that a lot of Americans dislike Canadians because they assume most Canadians are liberal, but not all are. I live in a small town in southern Ontario and most people here think we should be allowed to own guns (a lot already own guns) and that homosexual marriage is wrong.

So not all Canadians are bad.
