President Bush's speech...

Today's Fact Sheet for George Bush's speech

My general responses to various points therein:

GWB insists on championing the notion of democracy. Does he not know the difference between a democracy, which revolves around mob rule that violates individual rights on the whim of a majority, and a republic built upon the foundation of unalienable individual rights? Or does he admit that Americans are too stupid to know the difference?

GWB claims that human beings always choose liberty over slavery when given a choice. How can he say that when his policies of borrow and spend will enslave the next generation of Americans with debt they did not accumulate and for which they are not responsible? Does that mean that nobody would choose his policies if they had a choice?

GWB suggests that people dedicated to the destruction of America are fighting in Iraq, so we should go there to fight them. What about the people dedicated to our destruction already in America? Why aren't we fighting them?

GWB tells us that “spreading freedom” across the Middle East will lead to an increase in American homeland security. How did we “spread freedom” across the Middle East by encouraging the Jews to abandon Gaza?

GWB pretends that Americans have an interest in the futures of Iraqi children. Why am I supposed to be concerned with the next generation of Iraqi children when my children are facing a future of collapsed schools, hospitals, and social programs under the weight of the invasion by illegals from Mexico?

GWB thinks that Americans believe in self-determination. What happened to the private retirement savings accounts initiative? What about the failure of New Orleansians to take action to provide for themselves before Hurricane Katrina? Why were taxes stolen from working Americans to spend $60 billion on people who have spent a lifetime choosing not to secure their own well-being and that of their families?
