For a man the media and many of his enemies on both the right and left dismissed as being a poor communicator, President Bush has given the most important, and elequent, speeches in American history.

Yes, President Bush is an excellent communicator with anyone who is receptive to communication from him.

Just to put it into perspective, some people aren't receptive to the Son of God either. It isn't because of His lack of communication skills.

Wolfie ~~ Thank YOU so much for all the great memories and pictorial delights.

You're so very, very welcome, my friend.

[LucyJo]

The advance of human freedom — the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time — now depends on us. Our nation — this generation — will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage.

I've said from the beginning that the Left in this country, including the Dem leadership, has done all in their power to undermine those efforts. It is remarkable how successful President Bush has been despite their concerted efforts to thwart him, even to the point of being willing to destroy our country in order to destroy him.

[Wolfstar]

To know the background information on that picture is to know the courage and character of the man.

Beautifully stated, LucyJo. I'm reposting the photo here for newcomers to this thread.

President George W. Bush throwing a perfect strike from the mound in historic Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series about a month after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. He was wearing a heavy Secret Service bulletproof vest under his windbreaker. He went alone out to the mound in a stadium filled to overflowing. No protective detail around him. It was one of the most quintessentially American -- and the most brave thing -- I have ever witnessed.

Thank for your post ... ALL so true. How can any human being deny the desirability of personal freedom ... anywhere in the universe? Some seeds take longer to grow than others. We have been blessed.

[LucyJo]

Star, I hope there is a way to get a copy of this tribute thread to President and Mrs. Bush. I know we are only identified by our screen names here, but I think they would enjoy knowing the sentiments expressed on this thread.

The Elian Gonzalez betrayal was the perfect example of the difference between the Rat Party and we Republicans. Our outrage for sending an orphan boy whose mother literally gave her life for her son to breath freely was forced back to a brutal dictator by the Rats. The Dems threw everything at this boy including breaking the law and an American family’s door down at gunpoint to throw this helpless boy back to slavery. Conversely President George W Bush has risked everything while being called every name in the book to bring Freedom to 25 million enslaved human beings. One 10 year old boy sent back to Castro’s prison island vs 25 million saved from Saddamn’s torture is Democrat vs Republican.

The Dems say they are for Freedom from all dictators however their actions defy their words. Not one time in the past half billion freed slaves have they been on the right side of history. How difficult is it to wish Freedom for an enslaved people??? The truth is that they say they are for freedom, but they are only against dictators who are friends of America, while supporting every tyrant that hates America. This is what happens to you when you believe any means justifies your ends.

America and especially the Military has made one of the greatest accomplishment in history. They have freed a people who was tortured and brutalized under a madman to be given their freedom with no expectations. These people would be shot for marking ballots the way they did. The soldiers who freed these people and gave their lives for this cause did it for the most noble of causes. They went in to protect our Country and World from the greatest terrorist dictator on the face of the planet and to free the people while attempting to establish Democracy. They met and exceeded all of their goals. These soldiers are heroes for all times and deserve our deepest respect and congratulations. Their families must be busting with pride.

Any political party in a democracy that cannot accept the joy and value of millions of people voting freely for the first time in their lives has lost it’s perspective. The joy and happiness on the Iraqis’ faces should be evident enough, but the Rats have to turn it into an attack on Bush’s policy. How difficult would it be for this Party to say they may have been wrong about the election and the freeing of 25 million people was a great thing for our Troops whom, they “support.” The very least they could have done was to acknowledge that the terrorists are evil and our Troops are the Freedom Fighters.

The truth is that the CommucRats do not want freedom for other countries or even this Great Country. Their ideal utopian model is fashioned after Communist China, Cuba and Russia even though they knew they were evil, the ends justified the means. Like China they see it as a great equalizer if everyone is dirt poor as long as the Inner Circle (them) is taken care of. If you take a look at the clinton Inner Circle you could see the formation of their form of gummit. They wanted to eliminate private healthcare while raising taxes to redistribute income and sending the middle class to poverty. Meanwhile, their Inner Circle; those that survived, became multi-millionaires.

This Party does not want Freedom for anyone. They opposed the bringing down of the Wall, the Vote in Nicaragua, the Protection of Elian, the Overthrow of Saddamn and have been completely exposed by the vote in Iraq. What people have they ever stood up for who are oppressed?? This is a Party that is an establishment devoid of any values or ideas other than the blind obsession of power.

George W Bush and we Republicans were right about the people of Iraq also yearning to breath freely. We are the Party of optimism and willing to take on challenges bigger than ourselves. While the Dems continue to wallow in the quagmire of failed ideologies and broken programs, we are working to make the Greatest Country in the World even better. If a Political Party does not want Freedom for the oppressed of the World it does not want Freedom for America.

While we ride with the Angels in the Whirlwind they are mired in the tar pits of Vietnam. Thanks to the Rats, Elian Gonzales is a slave again under the murderous dictator Castro while under GW fifty million former brutalized and raped slaves are voting their own futures and feeling the cool breeze of freedom. Perhaps one day we will see the statue of Saddamn replaced by Lady Liberty Raising her Flame High for all the World to Dream.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighting Soldiers

What a moment, right out of Ronald Wilson Reagan. The young upstart President who supposedly can’t talk his way out of a cardboard box and has been corralled by Yaaawn’s machine and the Stone-age press, decides to go past their Filter and talk directly to the American people. That’s when he landed the haymaker and ended the Yaaaawn Global Test & Carry’s platform.

What a perfect metaphor for the Stone-age press’ distorting the truth for all the world to see. Just like last weeks debate where the moderator wanted to become the story and asking anti-Bush question after question. Starting Yaaawn with, “would you be a better President?” What’s he going to say no? Then Mr. (hate your guts) President, explain your failed Go It Alone War! Here in a Town hall debate, Charlie Glibson helps Yaawn clarify one question and then tries to corner President Bush with Charlie’s “follow-up” he had been laying in wait.

The proud Republican looked at the Ratherforged Danosaur holding the Gate with all of his weight, trying to pin the mustang in his coral, spewing those vile flames. The young strapping cowboy sized up the situation and decided if your are going to keep that Gate closed, I will turn my steed through the Internet Gate and talk to the American People directly. He has those rare instincts of a normal person to say, if you’re not going to let me get my message out; then I will go talk to my people my way. What a perfect reflection revealing the dying mediaCrats of the Old NY Times and ABDNCBS and W’s way of leading.

And what a message he gave! Not only did he defeat the media, he fileted Yaawn with the skill of a Champion Bass Fisherman. He turned to the people with arm extended and said, “Tell Tony Blair, “your going it alone”, tell Berlusconi, “your going it alone”, tell the President of Poland Kwasniewski, “your going it alone”..You Can’t Lead a coalition that way!” Game, set.....

That was a rhetorical moment for all times.

This debate will go down as one of the Great Debates of this country. President Bush not only defeated and exposed Yaaawn Tax & Carry for the Liberal he is but exposed the press to the American People. He was masterful in his delivery and his answers were complete and from the heart. This President has one of the most complex minds that has occupied that office since Lincoln. I would say Ronald Reagan, but Yaaawn seems to mention RR at least 10 times per debate trying to sound Conservative even though he hated Reagan.

From that moment on, you could see that Kerry was done. Searching for ideas and numerous times stumbling, bumbling, over words. His answers were disjointed syntax and not on topic add to that his turning away from the audience to lecture and dress down The President of The United States on his “failed policies”, going way over the top.

His worst answer of all, was his answer on abortion. The beautifully angelic young lady asked a question from her terrified heart about the need to end Partial Birth Abortion? Yaawn attempts to answer it by droning he was in Vietna....no wait, that he was a Catholic and an Alter Boy? What does being an alter boy have to do with abortion?? He fished for Dingbats work with Planned Abortionhood and then after W answered it so clearly and compassionately, Yaawn has to have a follow-up?? Why would anyone need to have a follow-up on abortion?? Abortion is not an issue that you debate with your mind but your soul. Either you believe it is a baby and death or you don’t.

What a night and what an answer to Prayers. GW showed the country and the world why we Bushbots love him like only one other President, his mentor; who must have that twinkling little eye with that rosy smile, President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Pray for W and Our Troops

More memories:
The overthrow and capture of Saddamn Insane was not only a good thing for the world it was an Historic event that will be reviewed through the annals of history. George W Bush is going to be considered one of the great leaders in historic proportions for the liberation of 25 million people. And just like the fall of the Berlin Wall the Democrat party is going to be judged on the wrong side of history. These people in 20 years looking back, are going to be looked at as cowards and supporters of a brutal sadistic regime. Right now the opposition party is divided between two camps, one would support the war if the entire world said it was OK or not go to war under any circumstances. That is going to be their byline in history!

The most likely outcome of the Iraqi war now will be that without Insane in power and soon to be exposed for the mass murderer that he is, the opposition forces will begin to fold. Since they can now see bullet evidence that they will never be in power again, they have no real reason to fight. There will continue to be terrorist attacks from outside forces, but the entrenched Iraqi Fejjehadin will dissolve as the support dissipates. This will allow for commerce to move forward and the long term outlook to begin to stabilize. After about 5 months this will begin to look more like a policing operation and will be moved to the Iraqi police God willing.

The American people understand the importance of this war in their hearts and minds. They realize that Insane represented a serious threat to the world. He was the most outspoken and unstable of all of the world despots. The eventual self governing of Iraq will only make the world a safer place with one less safe haven for terrorists. This sends a strong message to the worlds madmen that if you harbor terrorists you are considered a terrorist and will be treated like one.

Prime Minister Tony Blair and President George W Bush are men of historic proportions. These men carried this mission forward when their approval ratings were in the toilet and especially Blair. Unlike WWII when the world was being attacked by a tyrant in the open, in this case we are being attacked with shadowy terrorists. The Coalition of the Willing showed great courage for staying the course when there was not a lot of evidence that there was an end to Iraq. Especially with the French & Democrat Surrender Coalition attacking every miscue, whether true or invented. With the capture they have lost their main WMD (Weapon of Mad Dems) and their reasons for leaving are becoming threadbare.

Nakita Kruschev Dean is pulling the party to the free fall w/o a chute position of, we may of freed 25 million people from a murderous dictator, but I never would have done anything. We can suppose that he would have also lifted the sanctions that were starving all those children and propped up this killing field. The remainder of the non-presidential barren field have varying degrees of that stand but a couple would go to war only if it was ok with France and Cameroon. Another words if they were President, Sadamn would be thumbing his nose at the 45th UN resolution while Mr McGoo Blix was trying to find the toilet paper in the executive bathroom. In historic terms these midgets are going to move Nevil Chamberlin up the Historic World Coward Ladder.

When we look back at Iraq and the people are leading themselves there will be no doubt where this will stand in history. The WMD story will be completed and explained to most of the world’s satisfaction and history will begin to be written. The ash heap waits for those who are going to be on the wrong side of this wall. All of those Saddamn loyalists are hiding in a hole now, but the plastic cap is off and the flashlight of truth is beginning to shine. We can pray it will expose the evil that was hidden and put that evil and it’s allies on trial before the world court of history.

Pray for W and Our Troops
