First rate report !
who cares what the UN thinks?... it's a badge of honor that W was ignored and hated there...means he's doing the right thing
Who cares what the UN thinks? Bunch of phony politicians that think they actually have some power. I vote we lob a cruise missile into their general assembly. Killing terrorists you know. I mean what the hell, Clinton wasted one on an aspirin factory. At least this one would do some good.
Bush hits his fair share of home runs when he's in friendly territory...it's nice to see him jack one out of the park in an away game.
The UN always holds their applause until the end of a speech. Kofi and his crew were rude but Bush has supporters there as well. Lots of them don't understand english well enough to follow such a speech anyway.
When Bush spoke to the UN (foreigners who cannot vote in our election, and who frequently wish failure upon us) he got a typical, restrained reaction in accordance with UN custom. And the media tries to spin this as a big problem.
Old Media. So dead.
Kerry should be more concerned with the National Guard men and women who gave HIM a "cool reception" last week, before he worries about President Bush getting a "cool reception" from the UN.
The members of the National Guard are US VOTERS.
The members of the UN are not.
Well, to be honest, if Bush was received with handshakes, well-wishes and applause by the United Nations, then I would be seriously concerned.
The UN is like a bunch of Democrats--can't take care of themselves but want to tell everybody else what to do.
If Bush had delivered the same speech to a joint session of Congress his applause would still be resounding in the ears of millions of Americans.
It was a lecture to the world.
It was a phenomenal speech!!
Bush has elevated the discussion.
Bush is the TR of this new century.
A century from now his name will be spoken in the same breath as Lincoln, FDR and Reagan.
Bingo! That is the UN way. Appease, appease, appease and maybe the bad guys will just get bored and stop doing bad things!!
Hey Kerry and your UN appeaseniks, There is no P-E-A-C-E in A-P-P-E-A-S-E-M-E-N-T.
Spot on!
I REALLY Like this idea. The fact that we are kept "on par" with third world despots at the UN is appalling to me.
Though stated by others, even here on Free Republic, this is an idea whose time has come.
Perhaps in GWB's second term?
As was said, speeches given to that august body are not interrupted until the end and then only polite applause is given. The speech was well taken and for those who were watching Fox or reading on the Net, heard or read foreign leaders approve of the President's speech. The MSM of course did not report or show any of that. It was a wonderful speech for people who are willing to go the long road to rid the world of terrorists...sort of an "Appeasers Need Not Apply" speech and a thank you to those who are sincerely working to stop terrorism.
The MSM is on everyone’s radar now as being biased and untruthful reporting.
Fantastic speech by our President. The cool reception proved its effectiveness.
If the Libs think a cool reception from the U.N. is going to resonate as a negative with American voters, they prove they remain out of step with the majority of this country.
I would of have been concerned if he got a good reception.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is an Orwellian socialist document that should never be mentioned in the same breath as the American Declaration of Independence.
Check out Article 25 of the so-called Declaration of Human Rights:
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
Of course, in fairness, the UDOHR also includes a few actual rights, too. But even in those cases, check out the akarming paragraph 3 of Article 29:
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
That was MY President speaking to that bunch of dictators, terrorists and socialists. Among them were a few on the same page as the US but many are not. GWB should have gotten big headlines for such an important speech that should have been quoted for weeks if the MSM wasn't turned so far to the left. Good for Fox News Channel to show the speech and to comment appropriately. As ratings continue to grow, more Americans will get a more fair and balanced approach to the news.
