Is Poppy speaking for Jr. or for the Henry Kissinger/James Baker wing of the party?

Judging by some of the threads on this speech the admonition is warranted.

No, No, He was just saying, ...
Freedom, GOOD.. Tyranny, BAAADD.. ( BAD..)

Not Extrapolating, No, we're not..

Not extrapolating..
Just saying, Freedom, GOOD..

William Wallace to George Washington to George W. Bush==FREEDOM!!

Only progressives, dictators, thugs, tyrants, pimps and thieves would shudder at the mere mention of freedom. Freedom is from God. Not man.

"People want to read a lot into it -- that this means new aggression or newly asserted military forces," former President George H.W. Bush said. "That's not what that speech is about. It's about freedom."

Thanks, Pop. I cannot believe the way people -- left and right -- are reading so much into this speech. It was just a speech about tone or philosophy if you will. The President was emphasizing what our great nation is about. We commit to doing the hard thing when necessary, not taking the easy path.
