Great insight from an escapee from communism.

Bush's stretegy of changing the tone has worked brilliantly in most cases. Just as Reagan kept his sense of humor about being slimed in the Press and by the Demrats, Bush knows that his elevated discourse makes them even more frothingly furious and he's letting them dig their own grave.

So you are saying that English is his second language? That makes me ashamed of my feeble skills.

It sounds like what Lincoln had to endure.

Bush's stretegy of changing the tone has worked brilliantly in most cases.

It has worked when he has defended himself, as he has done most vigorously lately. When the rabid criticism from the Democrats has been met with his silence, he a nd the nation have suffered.

Insults and vituperation are altogether unnecessary.

Ann Coulter could use a lesson here.

I didn't read the article, but liberals are incapable of learning....otherwise they (liberals) wouldn't make the same mistakes over and over and over and over......

Rush Limbaugh chalks up the bad beating that liberals have been taking in recent years to a lack of proficiency in the art of argumentation.

I believe Rush would disagree with this statement, as would I. Otherwise, it is a pretty good article.

Gallant. That's a good word to describe President Bush.

Part of W's strength comes from a recognition I have tried to give my kids. It is true of confident people, that if one doesn't has any respect for what a particular person thinks, one doesn't give a rat's a$$ what that person says.

This should help us see why so few liberals are either amiable or gracious or civil or good-natured. These virtues are for the most part alien to those who believe untruths and as a result cannot prevail by logic and argument. Their only hope lies in deception and personal attacks. They must lie about what they believe and demonize those who disagree. Over time this tends to make them vicious, bitter and hateful. One needs to look no further than Howard Dean, Teddy Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, Noam Chomsky, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Harry Reid and the aging Jimmy Carter for confirmation that this is indeed the case. And they are just a few among many
