Another Anti-Anti-Bush Article

Lately I've been noticing a marked increase in the number of anti-Bush bashing articles, like this one, that have been appearing in various places around the web and in the media.

I'm starting to think that the angle has been played out. Sure the articles are generally well written, well thought out and will almost always have some unique, insightful, or witty commentary. But come on. Do we really need three or four a week?

It's getting to the point where you can almost see the outline of the generic anti-Bush bashing article forming. Find a particular event (the event du jour is the State of the Union line), talk about how it has been over hyped. Then continue on to talk about how the point is being over hyped because the Democrats are losing relevance due to extreme leftism, September 11, whatever. Throw in a couple of comments about the War on Terror and a snide shot at Clinton and voila! You've got your article done.

Now I'm not a fan of the Bush bashing either, but this is getting ridiculous. It's like a cookie cutter. Show some creativity already.

Politics is a war of ideas. These "why do they bash Bush?" articles do nothing to further the conservative cause. There are no new ideas in them, only reaction to accusations of the liberals. Whoever breaks out of this cycle of accusation and rebuttal to come up with a real thought will have the advantage.

If the conservatives want to keep control, it's time to change the game.
