diversion of housing funds for church related activities No religious groups providing charity related activities with government money. It isn't unconstitutional, its not the establishment of religion. But I'm not 100% sure I am for it, but I am against it being miscategorized. I didn't say it was unConstitutional; I said it stinks.....using housing money to fund S. Baptist charity groups......its bs. subversion of environmental laws That is one of the cases that you stated that as you say "was opinion". Its not my opinion.....where he can, he's overturning law after law, and where he can't, he ignores provisions. For an example, in one the environmental laws passed in the 80's, I believe, there is a provision for penalties to increase as time goes on to account for cost of living increases etc. His people have chosen to ignore that provision and not increase the penalties as prescribed by law. Consequently, the amount of penalties levied are less than what is prescribed. Those monies are used for enforcement so you can understand why he's not eager to collect them......the less monies he has for enforcement, the less environmental laws get enforced. His deception is disgusting. and civil rts legislation Not subverting that at all. Supporting and restoring it. Tell it to C. Rice and C. Powell......even they don't agree with the brief submitted to the Sup. Ct. and alienation of our allies. Disagrements sure but I don't think it rises to alienation and it didn't start with Bush. I really think you underestimate what's going on in Europe and Canada. I can't be sure of the long term impact but for now, relations with are key allies are very frosty. Furthermore, the one ally who has been one us is the UK and if it weren't for T. Blair, they wouldn't be with us either. ted
