Is Bush moving away from the right? After the 2000 election, many people felt President Bush unfairly got his job. "He was selected, not elected" was the chant. This time around, he was able to get what he did not four years ago; the popular vote. There was no court challenges, John Kerry accepted he was fairly defeated. So the question beckoned: should people who did not vote for the President, now stand behind him? I thought the question was an obvious slam dunk. America should get behind the new leader of the country. At least this is what I thought, until I heard the Michael Savage show today.
One week ago, Michael Savage supported the President, although he admits timidly so. He recommended all of his "ten million" listeners to get out and vote for Bush. One week later, Savage no longer supports the President.
He is mad as hell. He predicted Bush would swing to the left. This week, he seems to be right. First, Bush is looking to give amnesty to 20 million illegal immigrants. That really P.O.'d the Weiner, but todays announcement of Gonzalez to become the new Attorney General had Michael Savage bouncing off the walls in rage. Gonzalez supports affirmative action. Gonzalez voted against letting parents know their kids might seek an abortion.
So, if people who voted for Bush just a week ago don't support him now, then surely how can we expect those who voted against him to get behind him today? Then again, if Bush is swinging to the left, maybe liberals should give him the benefit of the doubt.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
