Normal Service Resumed The George Bush the nation re-elected is back.
Friday, February 4, 2005 12:01 a.m. EST
George Bush finally began his second term on Wednesday night with an address that marked the return of the Bush of the stump, the Bush who was re-elected president three months ago and whom the nation knows well. His State of the Union address underscored that he meant what he said when he ran: Efforts to move against junk lawsuits, protect marriage and reform Social Security are all on the table. America continues as a friend of liberty throughout the world. The speech was marked by an air not of insistence but of persuasion. George Bush made it clear he does not intend to cooperate with the tradition whereby second terms are all anticlimax enlivened by scandal. He will not be at the mercy of history. He means to continue doing big things. This was the plainspoken Bush of old.

Peggy thinks that references to God are "messianic". She seems obsessed with the President's unabashed, unapologetic Christianity, and she's apparently got a real problem with it. Her "Too Much God" column about the President's Inaugural speech was eye-popping.
She thinks freedom for everyone on Earth is too big a goal. You have purple-fingered people on your page...how can you support her opinion????
Nobody with more than 3 working brains cells takes her or her columns seriously.
Give it a rest.
"You have purple-fingered people on your page...how can you support her opinion????"
I didn't. And I find this article to be a sleeper - a mere summation. But I'm a fan, and amused that the spite directed here against her seems to have very little to do with her articles.
What a great comment...what is "messianic" about all those beautiful purple fingers??
These people are deciding FOR THEMSELVES what they want their lives to be.
Hey, Howlin...are we on the same side, for once? ;)
Are we on different sides somewhere?
And like clockwork,her drooling sycophants show up to hurl personal attacks at those who don't worship at perky Peggy's feet (all the way up to her eyeballs) of clay.
I haven't clicked over to read this yet. It's 2:15 AM. Is this going to get me mad?
"Is this going to get me mad?"
Not really. Like I said, its a sleeper, so we're going to refight the last 4 threads re last weeks mess. Yawn
It will make you mad because it won't make you mad, if you get my drift.
Exactly. She was flat wrong on the inaugural, but people can have different opinions and still be on the same team.
Just a little bit.
But we'll find things to nitpick and grow outraged at /s
Yes,that's exactly what your preecious Peggy did in this article. How lovely of you to admit that. :-)
Yes, I did. What did I miss?
