My Conversation with George W. Bush
In a complex and challenging time, the road of isolationism and protectionism may seem broad and inviting, yet it ends in danger and decline
You realize there are no members of congress who have said, "I support isolationism" or even remotely said something of that nature since the Nixon administration, and Nixon even went to China. And besides, any type of 'isolationism' or 'protectionism' is a product of your fundamentally unsound 'war on terror.'
And we are writing a new chapter in the story of self-government, with women lining up to vote in Afghanistan, and millions of Iraqis marking their liberty with purple ink, and men and women from Lebanon to Egypt debating the rights of individuals and the necessity of freedom.
I'm so glad we could be the authors of that book. Go America and McDonald's! I can't wait till they have a Starbucks in Baghdad.
No one can deny the success of freedom, but some men rage and fight against it.
No kidding. I baby sat this kid once, and she never wanted to be taken out of her play pen. She loved that thing. Hated freedom. Even scratch me in the eye for trying to pick her up.
But our enemies and our friends can be certain: The United States will not retreat from the world, and we will never surrender to evil.
Never. Dr. Evil is bad. Never surrender to him or The giant marshmallow. (How many politicians you know use the word 'evil' and sound intelligent?)
Yet there is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure. Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy. With so much in the balance, those of us in public office have a duty to speak with candor.
So you don't want to talk about Cindy Sheehan who's kid died in your war? Or how an audit committee found that $70,000 given to a contractor in Iraq was gambled away in a Thai whore house?
We show compassion abroad because Americans believe in the God- given dignity and worth of a villager with HIV/AIDS, or an infant with malaria, or a refugee fleeing genocide, or a young girl sold into slavery.
So we are fighting wars to help these people? And how come as a prosperous nation, we are showing little concern as a government to the suffering in Sudan.
It is said that prior to the attacks of September the 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed telephone calls to Al Qaida operatives overseas. But we did not know about their plans until it was too late.
Ah, yes. That decisive telephone call would have linked it all and not the fact that you had knowlegde about possible airline hi-jackers who were linked to a terrorist organization.
So to prevent another attack -- based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute -- I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected Al Qaida operatives and affiliates to and from America.
WAIT! "based on authority give to me by the Constitution and by statute" hmmm what statute was that? and the Constitution does not give anybody powers. It dictates their job and protects the people. It's not like the bible where you can twist its language and say, look - Egyptians had slaves in this story so God is giving us the power to rightfully own this family becuase their black..hey, Jordan, go mow my lawn."
So we're seeing some old temptations return. Protectionists want to escape competition, pretending that we can keep our high standard of living while walling off our economy
I think your confusing the protectionist with human rights activist who are concerned about the 12 year old girl in china who stitched the purse for your daughter today for 12 cents. And the blue collar Detroit worker is worried that he'll have to drive a KIA next year.
Others say that the government needs to take a larger role in directing the economy, centralizing more power in Washington and increasing taxes
You keep refering to these 'Others'. I saw that movie. Didn't expect that ending, but that' s the point of the title...'The Others'. Maybe if I wait till the end of the speech, I'll find out who the 'Others' is. And honestly, name one man besides Fidel Castro who thinks all those things.
We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy, even though this economy could not function without them.
Yes, and usually those claims are coming from the Republican party. I'm glad you got a Luis Don Cantar and Maria Maria Tenora coming three times a week to the white house to clean it.
We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips and stalks or switch grass.
Switch grasss? Is that like weed? What?...I later found out it's a type of fast growing grass that can be used to feed cattle among other things. Thanks Google.
Third, we need to encourage children to take more math and science, and to make sure those courses are rigorous enough to compete with other nations. We made a good start in the early grades with the No Child Left Behind Act, which is raising standards and lifting test scores across our country.
Applause!
Tonight I propose to train 70,000 high school teachers to lead advanced placement courses in math and science, bring 30,000 math and science professionals to teach in classrooms, and give early help to students who struggle with math so they have a better chance at good, high-wage jobs.
Applause!
Wise policies such as welfare reform, and drug education, and support for abstinence and adoption have made a difference in the character of our country.
HAHA! He said the A word...abstinence. And I'm sure you think your daughters are virgins too. Side rant: Pro choicers have to start admiting that abortions are morally wrong. It is. And then convince that pro lifers that abstinence is never going to work and then we all can get together and start hadning out condoms, provide easier access to birth control for low income areas and preach safer sex. But abortion has to be kept legal. The alternative is unsafe and scary. Government is not a moral diety, it is a system of rules, policies and laws that allow us all to live under one nation. I'm done.
Haha...Abstinence.
They are concerned about unethical conduct by public officials and discouraged by activist courts that try to redefine marriage.
Did you really put Gay Marriage in the same sentance as 'unethical conduct by public officials'. Are you calling Tommy DeLay gay? Ridiculous Bush. And what's your beef with two people who love each other getting married anyway?
.....creating animal-human hybirds
WHAT?!?!?
