CLEAR talk is right. The stakes are too high to risk the confusion that evolves from
nuance (the very word conjures up the gallic shrug of "whatever"). The professional pols love nuance - it helps justify their existence - as in
only we understand the subtleties here - just go back to your bread and circuses and/or when situations start to go south the pols still have some wiggle room.
They don't understand the compliment GWB pays to the people he leads when he tells it like it is.

And a strange thing happened. A smiling Putin neither winced nor gulped. Holy smokes...do you mean the press hasn't been giving it to us straight? They're injecting their own thoughts into the story?
To: nicmarlo
Gee, imagine that. Someone who leads. And it would be a tad bit more accurate to say in just over one year......he's done all these things. And still when you ask a clintoon lover to name three things clintoon did in eight years they come up with nothing. Or even better they try the old "Welfare Reform!" cry. heehehe!
To: nicmarlo
Bush is able to do what he does because he is led by a Power and a Will higher than himself and toward goals which are unselfish. He has strength, character, and moral conviction. In a word, Bush is a leader.And to think; he's not even carrying a 10 pound Bible like his predecessor always did when in trouble.
This is a great article.

Thanks for this article! I emailed the writer and thanked him for what he wrote about President Bush. It was nice to see some honest words about our common-sense President! Yes, let's make his day! :-) Everybody email Zev!

Great idea! When writers speak the truth, we should all email them to express our support and gratitude. The other day, a Milwaukee BLACK representative changed his party affiliation from RAT to the GOP. I sent him an email immediately expressing my support for his decision. If we support people speaking the truth, perhaps it will embolden them. We must fight the liars at every turn - every turn.

And now he is insisting that the price of self-determination should be civilized behavior.
It isn't optional. Thuggery should not be given a blind eye.

Italy's Silvio Berlusconi is not known for excessive politesse, but he, too, signed on with Bush. "If I were Arafat," said the Italian premier, "I would make a grand gesture." Berlusconi did not specify whether the Palestinian leader should use cyanide or a pistol.

""If I were Arafat," said the Italian premier, "I would make a grand gesture." Berlusconi did not specify whether the Palestinian leader should use cyanide or a pistol."Hmmm, this sounds like a mission for Tom Lantos, he has experience suggesting to people (Craig Livingstone) that they commit su-ii-ciddde.

he's not even carrying a 10 pound Bible You don't need to if you know the Scriptures....and GW obviously knows them......Klintoon was all "show and tell." Yes, it's a very good article. I have already e-mailed the writer with my thoughts, earlier:
Dear Mr. Chafets, I enjoyed your article. It's refreshing to read things positive about the abilities of our current Commander-in-Chief, especially in the "mainstream" media.

Here's mine:
Dear Mr. Chafets,
My thanks for an article written with the truth. I'm so weary of the lies and obfuscation of "journalists" like Mr. Kristof.
I have sent it to many of my friends and have already received at least twenty grateful responses on your piece.
I will continue to look for more of your work.
My sincerest thanks,
Real name here.

Berlusconi did not specify whether the Palestinian leader should use cyanide or a pistol.
THE PISTOL!!! Definately the pistol.
To: Freedom'sWorthIt
A great article. To me, the biggest point is the use of 'seemingly unconventional' when describing the President. This is why the left hates him, and the far right loathe him- he is unpredictable and doesn't think inside the box of any political philosophy.

"In less than two years, Bush has savaged conventional wisdom by dropping the anti-ballistic missile treaty, green-lighting Star Wars, walking away from the Kyoto global warming pact, boycotting a United Nations conference on human rights and saying no to the new international criminal court in The Hague. He has taken the U.S. to war without the permission of a coalition, restored "good" and "evil" to the language of big-power diplomacy and introduced an American defense doctrine of unilateral preemption. And now he is insisting that the price of self-determination should be civilized behavior.
This is a foreign policy revolution unmatched even by President Ronald Reagan.
Bush knows that civilization requires America to run the world and that if it isn't run according to clear and simple principles, it can't be run at all."Good article Starwind.
Thanks

Bush's success is a great frustration to his worldly critics, and a great mystery. They do not understand how such a rube (the man never even spent a semester in Europe) keeps getting his way with foreigners. It's real simple .. You are either with us .. or you are with the enemy
Meaning .. either jump on the wagon or be left out .. and we WILL remember who our friends are ..
Thanks for the ping Freedom'sWorthIt

Bush knows that civilization requires America to run the world and that if it isn't run according to clear and simple principles, it can't be run at all. Clear and simple principles based on an understanding of eternal truths. This President lives his faith, and IMO, that's where this fearless strength and bold leadership come from.
Thanks for the great article BWB, and thanks for the pings, FWI and MM!
Presidential Leadership Ping to the rest of you!
