We have seen nothing yet....he is setting the tone for his new administration. There will be a lot more on abortions...trust me. If he can overturn Wade vs Roe, he will. I doubt he will do much on this issue , but we'll see one way or the other. he second is separation of church and state. Pete seems to think its okay because it represents all religions. Separation of church and state means separation of church and state....any church and all churches. He's really working this one. This morning it turns out its his religion that guides him.....soon we will be required to go to church every Sunday. You quoted yourself and then replied to it rather then replying to my comment about the establishment clause and how this didn't violate it. IMO Bush is about as likely to try and require people to go to church every Sunday as Clinton was to require people to get BJs from interns. But some early demographics from the last election indicate that the turn out among Republican was much higher than among Democrats. That is normally true in every presidential election. If this proves to be true, then in reality he represents a minority of the voters. And I think that it is true. The votors are the people who voted. If other people with different opinions want to effect elections then they should vote. As I said, he wants to go backwards...and I for one ain't going. Political changes are not linear through time. Liberalism is not forward and conservative ideas are not backward. You could discribe what he wants to do as negative, but it is not going backwards. He is not picking some point in the past and trying to make all federal laws and programs just like that moment in the past. He has ideas for change that he wants to put in place some of which have not been implemented by the federal government before. You can say he is going in the wrong direction if you want, but forward and backward are pretty meaningless in the context of all of the president's plans. On some specific issues he might want to change them to a state that they were in the past but not everything that existed in the past was bad. Tim
