GW Bush at Flight 93 Memorial: "Evil Is Real, So Is Courage"
The best speech W has ever given in MHO.
Watch here.
I hate the scumbag with a burning passion.
DITTO!
I think Obutthole has realized people don’t want him around for 9/11 memorials.
Most people have figured out he’s the enemy.
At the same time both of them Itemize to save paying additional Income Taxes while giving a minuscule amount to Charity. Vice President Biden gives even less to Charity.
President Bush consistently contributes a quarter of his income to Charity. Vice President Cheney contributes even more of his income to Charity.
Some people talk the talk while others walk the walk.
You said confisgate when in reality Svonavec came to an agreement with the government for the land on which he got a little bit more than fair market value. Big, big, big difference between confisgate and an agreement.
Thank you for the information, I can see he collision between absolute private property rights and patriotic duties, but here are some questions for you;
1. Do you think we should have a memorial for this heroic but tragic event?
2. If yes how would we have gone about getting it done?
3. While some people will feel strongly about their land and may not want to part with it at any price; if duty required taking over this land do you believe that those people were not adequately compensated?
I believe that humans are more important than property and it is a shame if we can not commemorate such a sacrifice.
If something like this were to happen today mac daddy would take command, as soon as he came back from his 152nd vacate, and he would issue and stern waring in bold letters via e-mail.
There that problem is solved, now onto more important matters of planning the next party.
That was a heartfelt and excellent speech, and I really liked how he incorporated some of Lincoln’s words from the Gettysburg Address at the end because those words were so fitting. There have been documentaries on 9/11 on various TV stations this past week, and one of the things that I thought when I watched them, thought as a young teen on 9/11, and still think today is that I thank God George Bush was our President.
Or whatever else TOTUS tells him to believe in.
As always there is one missing figure, the POTUS who, I sure had more important matters to attend to like a party or golfing or giving another speech filled with the \same words:
I ME I MYSELF I I LIE LIE LIE I ME LIE LIE.
Al Gore already made clear what he would do. After the Kenyan embassy bombing, he said, addressing the perpetrators wherever they were, “we’ll bring you to justice, no matter how much time it takes, or how much money we have to spend.”
The Elian Gonzalez matter saved the US, because in Florida PO’d Cubans managed by a thin margin to outvote all the dead people still on the rolls.
He received a well deserved standing ovation for that speech.
Whatever his faults as President, George W. Bush is a good and decent man.
I think Rudy is forever associated with Ground Zero and would participate there, rather than in Shanksville PA.
Excellent. At his best. Honoring our best. The leader inspires.
From W to Zero: How low we have fallen in ten years.
I try and be as fair as possible with these sort of things,
but you could just tell with Clintons speech, the emotion, the tone etc was so contrived.
Bush was humble and sincere, at least more naturally so.
Clintons speech wasn’t bad, but like I say, in my opinion it didn’t come across as ‘genuine’.
I say confiscate because PRESSURE was put to the land owners. They caved (”came to an agreement”) because they HAD TO. Not because they wanted to. The land owners were asked nicely for their land. And they said no. Thats when the families of the victims put the screws to the property owners by getting the government involved in order to help them pressure the land owners to give up their land. It isnt right. Eminent domain was abused.
I dont think that we should nor shouldnt. After the pentagon was attacked, they rebuilt the building to exactly as what it looked like before, and put up a tiny little plaque as a memorial to the people who were killed there that day. They didnt confiscate around 2200 acres of the surrounding area for this memorial. There are many, many different tragedies and heroes in this country that goes on all the time and we get on with our lives without erecting memorials to each and every incident. We cant go on confiscating land, enormous tracts of land at that, from people on whose land these tragedies and acts of heroism occur. The families of the victims of flight 93 didnt need to confiscate so much land from so many land owners for their memorial. If the answer was no, they should have left it at that.
2. If yes how would we have gone about getting it done?
Like they did at the pentagon. Put the land back as to what it was before and erect a simple plaque.
3. While some people will feel strongly about their land and may not want to part with it at any price; if duty required taking over this land do you believe that those people were not adequately compensated?
I do not know how much they were paid, but thats not the point. It was taken from the rightful owners using PRESSURE and abuse of eminent domain. One of the landowners was perfectly willing to donate 5 acres. But no, the families of the victims wanted thousands of acres. And on top of that, the parks department is now looking to expand that by seizing an additional 700 acres!:
The Park Service also hopes to buy an additional 700 acres to protect views of the park.
Why 700? Why not 7000 or 70000? Obviously once started, now the tyrants dont want to stop taking over other peoples land.
If might might paste a prior reply of mine from a few days ago:
George W. Bush was a greater president than many realize. Eventually, even many detractors will know the truth of what we conservatives already know.
To be sure, GWB made PLENTY of mistakes. He did spend too much. He did countenance the invasion of illegal aliens. TARP.
But in the final analysis, decades from now, George W. Bush will be judged primarily by one set of items that all pertain to the same thing. Summed up thus:
“I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”
And so they did hear us.
Like Washington, Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, Truman and Reagan, George W. Bush was the right man, in the right place, at the right time, to deal with a dire threat to the United States.
GWB was and is a humble man. But he was the right man. I suspect he will never really realize that he was the right man at the right time. But that’s the kind of leader he is.
Over the centuries, the United States has found that it’s not easy being God’s spear. Just ask Jesus.
Still, in times of need in the past, it was always true that “God sent us our Elizabeth.”
And why shouldn’t God help us? The USA is the greatest nation, the greatest force for good and liberty, that has ever existed in this world.
Once again we are in extreme danger. What will God allow this time?
-George
