...Patriot Act, McCain-Feingold, new immigration acts, etc...

I won't debate the McCain-Feingold act because I happen to agree with you on that one.
Show me where the Patriot Act "takes away American Rights". The fact is, that not one abuse of power has occurred under the act, not one.

...Thinning of the national forests in the Southwest, approving a preliminary bill for exploratory drilling in the depths of Alaska and Antartica...

Is that all he did? How exactly does this "destroy" the arctic and national forests? His Healthy Forest initiative was based upon scientific research that shows that thinning the forests of undergrowth and dead wood will decrease the quantity and scope of future forest fires. It's also common sense.
Exploratory drilling in ANWR, which is what I'm assuming you're talking about, is all he has proposed. Every leftie I've ran across talks about our dependence on foreign oil, yet block every attempt for the US to find their own.

...big business...do I need to explain when the man raised more in campaign funds in one month than the seven democrats raised all of last year combined...the money came from somebody with cash, look at the list...
|
The "list" which you talk about shows a striking fact. The Republicans raise more money from individual donors than the Democrats. The majority of Democrat donations come from large organizations that do the Republicans. What does that tell you?

<sigh> Why is this so difficult to understand? After 9-11, our outlook on Global Terrorism had to change. We could no longer accept the system in which we wait until something happens than react to it after the fact. We must adopt a pro-active stance on terrorism and go after those who have shown a willingness to use terrorism as a means to an ends. Saddam Hussein was a threat to his citizens, a threat to his neighbors, a threat to the US armed forces in the region, and a threat to the United States. We could not afford to let him act on any of those threats.

Define False Correlation - "Assuming that because two things happened, the first one caused the second one. (Sequence is not causation.) For example, "Before women got the vote, there were no nuclear weapons." Or, "Every time my brother Bill accompanies me to Fenway Park, the Red Sox are sure to lose."
Essentially, these are arguments that the sun goes down because we've turned on the street lights."

I guess those flights cancelled out of France don't convince you that a threat was real...I'm convinced that we stopped something major.

...largest debt...well maybe with inflation, Reagan's was still larger...
|
Actually the largest debt shouldn't be looked at in terms of a percentage of GDP. In that case, the largest debt would fall upon Reagan's Administration, however, it's interesting to compare when we had Democratic control of Congress, who, as anyone with any knowledge of civics will tell you, is the only entity who can spend money. Luckily, I have a
Link for you.
