COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM 200 Series
Bush administration's ~~lies, deception and misleading statements~~ moral clarity, honesty and integrity

In this series of courses you will learn about the abundant ~~lies, deception or intent to deceive~~ moral clarity, honesty and integrity displayed by President George W. Bush (the compassionate conservative¹) and by his compassionate administration (on his behalf). While Bush's compassion is fairly well documented here, instances of serial compassion on the same issues are not.

Now, of course, the usual suspects on the Right will point out how this is yet another of the "Bush-hating" sites. But, wait. This is not the site of a Bush-hater. It is the site of a "Bush-lover" if you will, but it all depends on the meaning of love - it is just the same kind of "love" that some on the Right have shown Bush.

Make sure you drop by again when the Election 04 (2004) campaign starts picking up steam, so that you can refresh your memory. If you would like to be notified when I post updates here, please send me a note at compassion-at-compassiongate-dot-com.

1. I sometimes prefer to truncate the words Compassionate Conservative to Compassion Con. There is no intent here to imply anything significant by this (at least anything more than is commonly understood). I reserve all moral clarity rights to the use of this term.

A. One credit is issued for each instance of a lie, misleading statement, or deception.
