Inauguration speech

[Karl]

Hmm, todays inauguration speech was pretty much a mission statement about more imperialist goals and more hints about future crusades. I find it disturbing that if you listen closely the feeling of fear is imposed on you several times. As if we are in danger and need a savior..... Your thoughts on this

[Wurkwurk]

It sounded like Dubya was planning another war. He often said "The course of spreading freedom will endure...with the brave faces of the US military" and he hinted often of the continuation of armed force.

There is little doubt he plans to secure more oil profits now, after all the man's said. That is, if he's a man at all :lol:

[Karl]

yeah, sounds like hes going to drive the deficit some more, and then let my generation and my kids generation struggle to bring it back up to palitable standards. Of course this will be a struggle because my generation wont realize the problem until its way past the point of no return, due to things like mtv and the conservative media....

I didn't see the speech but have read it online several places. Some comments I found funny:


Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.


This is the broader definition of liberty that motivated the Homestead Act, the Social Security Act, and the G.I. Bill of Rights.

He forgot to add that the Homestead Act gave out swamp lands and pine forests for land to farm on...it didn't work out.

Not to mentioned he mentioned the word freedom 27 times.

Despite a windchill factor in the single digits, the president joined thousands of his supporters for a "Celebration of Freedom" concert on the Ellipse, the grassy expanse between the White House and the Washington Monument. "No night is too cold to celebrate freedom," Bush told the crowd.

40 Million well spent if you ask me.

[Karl]

Yeah, i love how he preaches this "freedom" that we have, yes technically we are free and i appreciate the deaths of millions of veterans, however he sucks people into his crusade/party with all of these damn freedom and liberty speeches. Why dont we just start training my generation right now for war. send us to paris island is what he is advocating.


I wonder if he keeps a texas revolver with him incase of weapons of mass destruction sneaking up on him

haha

man, I can't even talk about Bush without just laughing my ass off. What a fucking imperalist bastard.

Bush:


"because no one is fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave. Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our Nation."
am i misssing something, or was our country founded on slavery?

[FatFreeMilk]

Did they happen to show the people "turning their backs on Bush" on TV? That's all I wanted to see but I've been at school/work all day.

[FatFreeMilk]

Haha, there was lots of protesting allright: LOL. (http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/politics/10694066.htm?1c)
Protest Warriors vs. anarchits! (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24488-2005Jan20.html)

Damn there was even a protest in Mexico City.

[existential1]

It's obvious that dubya's speech was nothing but vile drivel, with hot button words like freedom, liberty, justice and biblical references sprinkled throughout. This has become pretty much the standard speech for King George II and I can't see how his supporters can listen to such obvious bullshit without going to sleep or commiting suicide.

[bolshevik butcher]

It would make a lot more sense if you took out freedom and liberty, and repalced them with empire. It was just the usual bu$h speach anyway. He was just walking too a bunch of cowboys thought so what would you expect.

[Dark Exodus]

Nothing new here, the same royal bullshit, which he quite obviously didn't write

Clenched fist, you seem to have misspelled Bush, bu$h...
