Frum Bump!
I was surfing the channels after the speech and was surprised to see Frum on Chris Matthew's "Spitball" LOL
Frum was verrrrrry congratulatory of W's speech! And Frum being an old speech writer himself, that is quite a compliment!

Frum, Richard Perle's protege, is one of my favorite thinkers and writers. I wonder whether he had a hand in crafting W's SOU speech.

I agree with it all, except the pulsar part.
Pulars are the collapsed, ultra-dense cores of dead stars which emit incredibly regular pulses of radiation as often as 30 or more times per second, hence "pulse"-ar.
Politicians should be required to take a physics class (or some sort of science) every so often, IMHO. :P

It was an excellent SOTU but if you want to read the lunatics version, click over to the du. The left loonies are in rant mood tonight. Going to be a lot of blue city suicides tonight. Even the young ones are against personal accounts, because Bush proposed them. If klintoon proposed them, they would be for them. These idiots don't have a logical thought and should be read in short bursts. I would hate to be a demonRAT {ever] tonight.

Bush seemed to be brimming with confidence and was really throwing heat at the Dems all night.
He has set them up to look really bad, and they seem to be cooperating.
He seemed to be saying, 'Me and the American people, we're going to solve some problems and free a bunch of people. I dare you clowns to stand in our way!

The DU'ers do not understand INDIVIDUALITY: They only understand a lemming (group/gang/clan) mentality. If their leader says no, all the group members say no.
Reading what you've written tells me that.... Just as Safia had written: The insurgents are terrified of democracy... Democrats are terrified of personal control over their own, individual, destinies. The parallel is quite stark to me, between insurgent response to democracy, and Democrat response to individual responsibility. Amazing.

He also set chrissy straight on many issues, like Iran is not a sovern country and did sign a treaty on nukes. Chris said who are we to stop them.

To Democrats, self-reliance is a sin...dependence is a virtue.

But wait!
What's really important is whether Peggy Noonan liked the speech, right?
Ummm, right?

I like what Frum says here, I am not sure why Krauthammer seemed less impressed, said it was pedestrian...

I thought it was a excellent speech and I think it was his best deliverence by far. I had a horrible PTSS moment when he started taking about keeping citizens safe at home I hallucinated it was Bill Clinton and the next words were going to be about a gun ban.
