Well, heck, those wacky Iraqis might vote for Islamic extremists - an

I think it is a bit offensive and even racist to believe that any human being
wouldn’t want to be free if truly given the chance.

Maybe, or maybe not. In terms of religion and faith, you yourself are far less
free than I am--wouldn’t you want to be free in the first place?
And in any case, why must the American Vision of Freedom be the universal
solution for everyone? For example, I don’t agree with Dubya’s Vision of
Freedom, so why should we expect a historically different culture to trust him?

Let’s face it, why should
Bush support the will of the people? If he did he wouldn’t be President.
:-) :-(

He supports the will of the people who wrote our Constitution the way they
did-- you don’t seriously have a problem with that, do you?
|
Are you kidding? He did an end-run around the Consitutional process for
declaring war, he’s bypassed legislative checks-and-balances to appoint
Exreme-Right activists to the judiciary, he’s worked very hard to institute
policy respecting the establishment of religion, he’s eliminated the openness
and transparency necessary (and desired by the founding fathers) fundamental to
maintaining democracy, and he’s lied to the American people and Congress. He has
not upheld the duty of his office, and he has utterly failed to “preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

But I have to
wonder: what is the record length of time for milking a joke? Surely the
teat is dry by now? :-)
|
Careful--talk like that will get you fined $275,000.00!
Honestly--if a Liberal-majority Supreme Court had appointed Gore to the
Presidency, and if, afterwards, Gore to Dubya’s lengths to damage domestic
economic health and foreign relations, would you be happy to sit back and
pretend Gore was a great president (as Dubya’s apologists like to pretend that
Dubya is)?
Dave!
