The truth is non-partisan

The Samuel Alito hearings confirm again that the liberals have taken over the conservative agenda and made it their own. Checks and balances were incorporated into the Constitution that limited the power of the executive. Since Roosevelt, the American president has become more and more powerful at the expense of the Congress. Many Conservatives feel this balance needs to be restored. Yet, it is the liberals on the Senate Judicial Committee that seem to be concerned about the increased powers of the Presidency. (See NYTimes article.)

Other areas where the liberals seem to be following a conservative agenda are in budget restraint and foreign affairs. Conservatives have traditionally been fiscally responsible, but not this president. Also, conservatives have tended to be more isolationist, following Washington's wisdom to avoid "foreign entanglements." But this president took us to war in Iraq. (The liberals want us out.) And this president also supports involvement in the WTO and free trade agreements. These initiatives support multi-national corporations and the military industrial complex and not the American people.
