Well at least you made me go hhhmmmm, indeed something to think about.
Yep, that is a very good summation. Liberty, should always be the guiding principle and yes we are the United States of America not just America.
Yes Karen Hughes is a potent speech writer. I noticed her orally reciting the speech, word for word right along with our President.

Interesting thesis. To qoute John Kerry, "Would that it were."
I hope you are right.
Excellent post! I agree with you -- the new term is going to see some SWEEPING changes.
I wish that really proved something.
This is hugh. Kerry is coming off as a Protectionist and GWB is a Global thinker!
There was Moses now there is George W Bush saying go this way, it is time to open our own eyes and see we are the light of the world, we have a devine duty to be the light of the world. A vote for Kerry would be like unscrewing the bulb!
XLNT Post, thank you
Because he used a theme of liberty in a speech, he's repealing the New Deal? I'm all for nice little pipe dreams, but yours is a bit far-fetched. GWB is the one who, instead of minimizing the Dept of Education, greatly raised its rate of budgetary growth. Then he followed up with an unprecendented entitlement program. The New Deal has little to fear from George W. Bush.
Here is the thing, George Bush thinks about the future. He know what we do now, effects the future. Kerry cares about the here and now. Kerry only see things that will effect the next day or what ever the polls maybe.
Contrary to our Clintonian/democrat indoctrination,
words HAVE meaning, but only when spoken by someone
who MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
Our President has told us repeatedly since 9-11 what we
face, and how we stand. Pundits and liberals, so used to
duplicitious misrepresentation , put no weight or reliance
on "mere words" but I believe you are correct, there is
no need to parse words with this man, it is called plain
speaking.
As Jesus said, for those who have ears, let him hear.
In principle I agree with that. Given free reign to make changes, I think Bush would undo the whole New Deal ideology. But we have to take it for what it is, a beginning down the right road.
The socialist changes that were implemented in this country won't be fixed overnight, and the odds are that we won't see much in the way of enhancing personal freedom during Bush's second term. Changing the way people think takes time. Personally, I hope we can stay this course for a few decades straight. People say we have to be bipartisan... not in my book. The other side has been railroading this country for longer than I've been alive, and as far as I'm concerned "turnabout is fair play" and "payback's a B!t(h.)
-sounds like Bush has been listening very well.
