Well, this week the site profiles the family of Supreme Court Nominee Samuel Alito, and as another blogger noted last week (can’t remember who), Alito’s family was posed under the portrait of a certain president who preceded Dubya and was born in Hope, Arkansas during the press conference announcing the Alito nomination. Of course, you would not know that from this photo, since the top of Bill Clinton’s head was effectively chopped off (a secret wish made real to a certain extent for Dubya, I suppose).
Also, the Presidential Prayer Team site this week discusses the faith of former President Lyndon Johnson. Of course, no mention is made that Dubya and his cohorts have done and will continue to do everything they possibly can to grind the reforms Johnson sponsored as part of his Great Society legislation on behalf of the poor, working people, elderly and minorities completely into dust.

Robert,
I'm not exactly sure how to address you, only to suggest that you read this column from Joe Conason to get an idea of the "cause and effect" at work here.

I think you're making "the rule out of the exception" with a little snide commentary also. That's OK, I engage in it myself also, though I probably shouldn't. I only get steamed when people start throwing around names and labels and assume that that's a legitimate argument. Also, I would be wrong if I said, for example, that all NRA members are gun-toting nuts. I think their leadership is crazy, which is true of most organizations regardless of affiliation, but I've had the privilege to live and work with NRA members who are people of character and practice gun safety.
There's a lot more I could say in response to your request for proof that Dubya is waging war on working men and women in this country - maybe you could give a look to my "Pearls for Swine" and "Dubya, The Working Man's Freind" posts, though I know they're about a week or so old by now.
I know you posted that column from the guy at the Chicago Tribune, and I'll try to give that a look later. Thanks for commenting - I don't pretend to know everything, and I appreciate you input.
