Why Bush is America's natural leader, stupid

Good read from across the pond

Yes, it is a good read. Don't misunderestimate George W.

I find the Bush story reassuring. It shows that Mr Bush is not the half-witted fanatic of the BBC's imagination. He is an absolutely mainstream figure in a country that has always gone very big on God and Mammon and does its best to see if the two can't achieve peaceful coexistence. It is a country that believes very deeply in freedom, but its idea of freedom is so strongly related to its sense of itself that, when it feels external threat, it reacts with unified fury.

Mr Bush has that uniquely American gift for reinventing yourself with perfect sincerity, whereas Mr Kerry's self-reinvention looks insincere.

I wonder if this guy's parentage includes an American soldier from World War I or World War II. Perhaps he's a Scott... He certainly can't be descended from the French. ;-)

Great piece from across the pond. Bookmarked.

He certainly can't be descended from the French.

Thank God!

what is clear is that he sets the agenda and the Democrats try to hurry along behind. John Kerry feels the need to say that he has "conservative values", which allowed George W Bush his best bits of raillery in the speech yesterday. All this astonishing dispute about what Mr Kerry did or did not do in the Vietnam war is the result of the fact he fears he may be thought unpatriotic. The Democrat candidate has to prove something to conservative America, whereas the Republican has to prove nothing to the liberals.

As My Hero Teddy Roosevelt would say: Bully!

USA,USA,USA,USA....It is a country that believes very deeply in freedom, but its idea of freedom is so strongly related to its sense of itself that, when it feels external threat, it reacts with unified fury...USA,USA,USA,USA!!!

Europe lost that belief a century ago. It was replaced by something called SOCIALISM. It saps the people of freedom, will, courage, values and turns them into...sheeple.
GOB BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS GEORGE W. BUSH

John Kerry's family "graduated" from Judaism to Christianity so they could social-climb.

[hershey]

Interesting and right on target, too.

[BurbankErnie]

Why is it the Brits see America in a better light then the Liberals in this country???

God Bless GWB, and God Bless America

Kerry also is dabbling in Buddhism.

I think its a brother inlaw that is a bigtime member of some korean sect

its idea of freedom is so strongly related to its sense of itself that, when it feels external threat, it reacts with unified fury.

Thank God for making me an American.

Quality analysis bump!

I liked it.

I've been thanking Him as well. We are so blessed to have been placed in this country in this time.

I don't believe I've seen it described as well in so few words..from a foreigner yet!

To separate an American from Freedom is to cut off their ability to breathe. It cannot be done. It can be stifled for awhile but eventually we get tired of existing on one lung and shove back hard.

God Bless our President.

Hey, that's just what I said in the thread about President Bush's speech here, that he was setting the agenda and making the 'rat candidate scurry like a rat to keep up,I feel vindicated:)
