State of the Union is Good!

If you watched the run-up to the State of the Union address last night, one would think that George Bush hasn't a friend in the world - everyone in this country is unhappy with there lives because everything in this country is going bad. If it isn't the economy, it's health care or education or immigration or the war in Iraq.

But isn't it strange that the consumer confidence rating is higher in January of the this year than in the past 31/2 years. Unemployment is at an level not seen since the seventies,4.9%. Fuel prices don't seem to even register with a majority of people as anyone can witness by traveling on the interstate, they are packed. People that smoke are still buying cigarettes at over $3 a pack. The Bars are still over flowing and restaurants are being built faster than gas stations.

But ask most Democrats and they will tell you everything is going to hell as they close the door of their $600,000 mansion in your face. They deny the present and claim there is no future.

I believe the President gave a great speech. Forceful and to the point. There was a little drop-off near the end, but for the most part, it spoke to the majority of the American people.
What struck me, though, was the reaction of the liberal left in the chamber to all of the major points that the President made. Here are a few of the programs that the Democrats don't care about. They watched, for the most part, unsmiling and fearful.

Social Security; the Democrats gave the President a standing ovation when he said that his attempt to reform social security failed. The left in this country is glade that the system will collapse on our collective heads in another twenty years.

The Patriot Act; the Democrats sat on their hands when the President challenged the chamber to renew the act. Here the Democrats don't care about security of this country. It isn't in their best interests to vote for anything that will help the president or the country avoid another attack. They want it to happen because they can use it against the President.

The War on Terror; when the president mention the NSA intercepts and that he had congressional authority to protect this country, the Democrats sat on the their hands and defied the world to make them show any emotion for their county.

Tax Cuts made permanent; the Democrats sat on their hands and looked like they just lost future deposits in their Swiss bank accounts. They want your money more than you do!

In the end, the Democrats complete lack of commitment to this country and what it stands for will not be lost on the general public. The question that every one will have to ask themselves is "how is it possible that the liberals can hate everything the President does no matter how successful it may be. They have to hate Christians. They have to hate freedom and democracy. They have no choice then but to hate America.

What is their plan for the future? What is their plan for the present that is so much better than what President Bush is doing? Can the Democrats subsist completely on hate?
