With only days until the mid-term elections, President George W. Bush has finally become proactive on two key Conservative issues, (a) Building a fence along the U.S. Mexican border, and (b) Gay Marriages.

In a ceremoney at the White House on Thursday, the President took pen in hand, and signed a bill that paves the way for the erection of a 700-mile fence along this country's southwestern border.

Then, the President "Shot Himself In The Foot." After signing the bill, Mr. Bush said that he still favored a major overhaul of this country's immigration laws. Bush was backed into a corner by Conservatives and forced to sign Thursday's bill. Polls also played a role in the President signing this new law.  Polls have repeatedly shown that the American public does not feel comfortable with the ease illegal aliens can slip across the border and into our country.

Nonetheless, Mr. Bush earlier this year supported "Amnesty" for the 10 to 20 million illegal aliens said to be currently living in the United States. His stance has not found favor with millions of Americans.

Bush could have avoided all of this nonsense.  He could have seized this issue from the Democrats, because liberal Democrats have been sitting on the sidelines, not bothering to touch this issue. The Democrats are political oppportunists. They see millions of new potential voters.

Apparently, new voters are more important to the Democratic Party than the safety of this country. So, they have been reticent on the issue of a fence with Mexico.

House Republicans were the smart ones.  They refused to go along with a Senate bill making illegals part of a guest-worker program; which would have lead to eventual citizenship, or to put it another way, "AMNESTY". The President supported the Senate bill. House Republicans called the bill by its correct name," Amnesty For Illegal Aliens."

Bush talked out of both sides of his mouth during yesterday's bill signing:

"I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION. OURS IS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. WE'RE ALSO A NATION OF LAW. UNFORTUNATELY, THE UNITED STATES HAS NOT BEEN IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF ITS BORDERS FOR DECADES, AND THEREFORE ILLLEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS BEEN ON THE RISE"

What occurred on Bill Clinton's watch, or George H.W. Bush's watch is not the issue in this election.  The issue is what did Bush do? Largely, the President did absolutely nothing.

The American people can thank the Republican lead house for the soon to be installed 700-mile long fence, not George W. Bush. What the hell was this man thinking about?

Bush was proactive in the debate over gay marriage in 2004. However, after being elected to another four year term, he forgot that this was an issue near and dear to the hearts of Conservatives. Again, he gave Conservatives the shaft.

Now that the liberal New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that gay couples are entitled to the same legal rights and financial benefits as heterosexual couples, Bush is on the campaign stump attempting to reawaken Conservatives. But, it is not Conservatives who need to wake up, it is George W. Bush.

Where has Mr. Bush been on this issue for the past two years? Does he agree with the New Jersey Supreme Court ruling, but is simply hiding his feelings? One has to ask that question given his lais sez faire attitude on this volatile issue.

Maybe the President sees the aformentioned issues as just politics as usual; but these issues are taken very seriously by Conservative Americans.

We want this President to protect us, by any and all means necessary. Of course the liberals love Bush's taciturn behavior on the issue of a fence with Mexico and the loss of his voice on gay marriages.

As activists courts make laws in this country instead of interpreting them, we need a President who is "Proactive And Not Reactive  On Salient Issues." We need a President who will use the White House as his bully pulpit. We need this President to "SAY WHAT HE MEANS, AND MEAN WHAT HE SAYS."

The traditional family as we know it is under threat from the homosexual community. Being legally married will not make these people happy. Their carnality will scream out for something else once activists courts across the land tell them its okay to trade vows with persons of the same sex. Gay people will always be viewed as an anathema by millions in this society. Opening this pandora's box to gay marriages across the country will spell the end of our civilization.

Larceny lies in the soul of every man and woman.  If gay marriages become the law of the land, can not polygamy be not far behind? And after polygamy, what would be the next battleground? Marrying one's sister? Far-fetched you say? Well, thirty years ago, if I had told you that gay marriage would be legal in the state of Massachusetts, you would have no doubt snickered at me.

Man is a carnal creature.  Man also has a short memory when it comes to his history. I see man as masochistic, because man apparently loves pain.
