Everywhere I turn nowdays I hear or read about the erosion of America's freedoms. According to the far left the Bush administration is trying to take away our freedom of speech by trying to pass a law banning flag burning, they are trying to stop newspapers from publishing state secrets, they are fining telivision and radio shows for using too much or too many obscenities, they are harassing that poor Colorado University professor for calling the 9/11 victims little Eichmanns, they are trying to regulate the porn industry, they are trying to take kiddie porn off the internet, etc., etc..

The far left says that the Bush administration is trying to take away their privacy rights by trying to intercept telephone calls and e:mails sent from known terrorist groups to people in this country, by investigating bank accounts of suspected terrorist groups, by infiltrating suspected terrorist groups, etc., etc..

The far left says that the Bush administration is trying to tale away freedom of religion by advocating school prayer, support of faith based education, saying 'under god' in the pledge of allegiance, etc., etc..

In other words by trying to protect our country, our kids and our god, the President has incurred the wrath of the far left. They are so angry at him that when they talk about him they call him names, cuss him out and wish him dead. How dare he try to take away their rights to burn the flag, assist our enemies, expose our children to pornography, be obsceen on radio and television and to take god away from those that believe.

The 'Hollywood Elite' especially hate the President. How dare he remind Americans about morals, values and principles? How dare he tell Americans that some of the things that many of the 'Hollywood Elite' believe in, like drug use, adultery, divorce, obscenity, pornography, atheism, etc. may not be right and proper? How dare he be happily married, how dare he believe in god, how dare he be against recreational drug use, how dare he believe in the security of this nation and how dare he not kowtow to them and do what they want instead of what the people who elected him want? Doesn't he know that they are supposed to run the country, not him? Doesn't he know that they are all powerful and that the average citizen is only good for buying movie tickets, concert tickets, CDs, DVDs and what ever else it takes to support the 'Elites' lavish lifestyle? Doesn't he know that you are supposed to do what's fun and easy and not what is right? Doesn't he know that freedom and liberty are for them and not for the average citizen? How dare he rock the boat? How dare he threaten their lifestyle?

I'll tell you how he dares to do those things. He dares because he does have morals, principles and values. He dares because he cares about America and it's people more than he cares about himself.

I'm not saying that everything he does is right. In fact, there are many things that he does or advocates that I disagree with. He makes mistakes, however, I see him trying his best to create, help and protect, while all I see the far left and the 'Hollywood Elite' do is try to destroy, hinder and harm while they make money and enjoy their freedom to do as they wish without regard for the rest of us.
