President Bush: An Individual Thinker
When McCain, Warner and Graham protested the Presidents Commissions Act-2006 , I did not agree with them, for many reasons that I have discussed at length in some of my posts. I did however respect them for having their own opinion.
We do not see that in our politicians these days. It is almost a crime in their eyes to have an opinion that does not follow strict party line opinions.
Same with Joe Lieberman, he stands up on an issue that HE has a specific opinion on, and what happens? He now is running as an independent, because god forbid a member of the party doesn't act like a robot and spout the "party line". Democrats jumped ship, but kept their hands held out, just in case he wins, because they didn't want to burn all bridges.
The President of the United States of America, has shown he is an individual thinker. He has made decisions that haven't been completely popular, he made those decisions because "he believed they were right". Not many have the courage or the intelligence to do that anymore.
A person that will stand up for what they believe is right, despite what their party thinks, despite the fact that it may not "look" popular to those that do not have the same information in front of them, yet they stand firm in their decisions, that is an Individual Thinker.
I do not agree with everything the Republicans stand for. I have differences in opinion on many issues. I am not a robot, I am a person with the ability to THINK.
The ability to think is not common in today's politics and the politicians assume that because they do not choose to "think individually" that the American people will not either. This is not true. This is an assumption that has lost the Democrats the last three elections. Yet they still have not learned.
We do not want a "robot", we do not want our representatives to march in a line where they cannot even be distinguished from one another. The American people have proven election after election that they desire people who can think and take actions, not just spout out the party line.
We want an Individual Thinker.
I appreciate the Presidents stand on the War on Terror.
I applaud the Presidents actions to keep us safe.
I will do something I have not seen anyone do publicly. I THANK the President for keeping his word to us and fighting an unpopular war for no other reason that to keep the US, the American people, safe.
An Individual Thinker is not often popular, not often well liked until they hit the history books, they are quite often misunderstood, called stubborn, pigheaded and a slew of other names, simply because they choose the think for themselves.
An Individual Thinker is what our world needs right now, and I thank God we have him.

Post a CommentNice write. I equate the word, "popular" with the way and type of person who would claim they are a 'vetrinarian', because they do not eat meat. The strict liberal players remind me of the waiter or waitress in a restaurant looks at me funny when I say I do not want anything with pork products on it or in it...then they tell me they don't have that, only bacon and ham. They are often the person who waits on you and the soft-drink counter and you ask for a sugar free soft drink and then they tell you, "We only have diet. I don't think we have sugar free"...anyway, the mentality that you are whipping light into here is well done. America is becoming a dangerously confrontational place for anyone who is not thinking in the stream of the box. And, as I look and listen I see that the box is being largely defined by Hollywood...that-is-spooky.
