Mr. Bush vs. Court Activism

Election Day is just around the corner and the rhetoric is getting worse on both sides of the aisle. Our president is the lead trash talker and fear monger and is out campaigning hard to help bring out the Republican base by bashing everyone in sight.

Just yesterday Mr. Bush was in South Georgia complaining about the New Jersey Supreme Court ruling calling for some form of same-sex marriage that would allow equal opportunity and rights for gay and lesbian couples. In order for him to try and revitalize the extreme right wing, evangelical, GOP base, he called for an end to what he calls “activist judges and courts,” in decisions such as this. The fact is that he calls any court decision not agreeing with his fanatical, religious opinions are “activist.”

What a two faced man is our president. He didn’t object to the U.S. Supreme Court being “activist” when it ruled on the election in Florida in 2000, and the court overstepped its bounds and put him into the office of president, so that he could personally cause and be responsible for the unwarranted deaths of over 2,800 American service people and over 20,000 wounded Americans in his Iraqi war that is leading nowhere. That “activism” was OK by him. Of course it has turned out to be bad for the families involved and has endangered all of America.
