But we should not let our voice waver in speaking out on the side of people who are seeking freedom. And we must never, ever indulge in the condescending voices who allege that some people in Africa or in the Middle East are just not interested in freedom, they're culturally just not ready for freedom or they just aren't ready for freedom's responsibilities.

We've heard that argument before, and we, more than any, as a people, should be ready to reject it. The view was wrong in 1963 in Birmingham, and it is wrong in 2003 in Baghdad and in the rest of the Middle East.

Think they'll "hear" her? Or will they close their ears, and follow their Democrat masters who've kept them imprisoned in housing complexes for the last 40 years?

Yes I do. Condi has a way of conveying herself. She is totally believable. I, and I suspect most Americans, believe that she means everything she says. It is her conviction, loyalty, intelligence, and passion for excellence that really makes her shine. There is no way not to "hear" Condi Rice.
