I'm convinced that the two great pillars of freedom are capitalism and democracy.
Freedom!

God bless President Bush! His wisdom and foresight have enabled a miraculous transformation of the world. His inaugural speech confirms his genius and inspiration.

I like it that Bush reached out across the isle by bitch slapping Slick and Jimmuh in his address. That was priceless.

The only part of freedom the left wants to wrap it's head around is bashing the right and turn us over to less than free humans.

I wonder what sort of DNC sock puppet material is being scripted for Juan Williams' next appearance with Fred on Brit Hume's "All Star" panel? Should be a gas!

I love Fred Barnes, but here he has it wrong.
"Security, of course, is the goal of the realists. They prefer democracies, but they're not adamant about it. If an autocratic country is friendly to the United States and opposes America's enemies, the realists are quite satisfied. Transforming such a country into a democracy would not be part of their foreign policy agenda. Think of Saudi Arabia in this regard, or Pakistan. Bush rejects this thinking."
Bush hasn't done jack about the Saudis or Pakistan. He's every bit a realist, no matter the speech. And no matter the speech, the American people are only going to be so swayed by idealism--there must be a significant degree of self-interest for the U.S. to invade another country.
Iran and Syria will fit that bill quite nicely, however.

History is going to remember George W. Bush as one of the most consequential presidents in United States history. Children all over the world will be taught that because of George W. Bush they now live in freedom.

Add to those two Faith in Christ -- Atheism and Humanism and Muslimism and communism are not freinds to freedom. There has been a lot of things happening on the atheism and humanist front in europe autralia and canada and the US over last decade.
Environmentalists, hate legislation with its focus of establishing gay rights, and the liberals handing national sovereignty to foreigners and foreign governments -- establishing these people with super rights over regular citizens.

"This would be merely an intellectual breakthrough if Bush were, say, a political science professor at Rutgers."But since it's from Bush, the President, the Left will simply call it arrogance.
