George W. Bush will be forever remembered by these words

Inauguration Speech, 2005 | 3-1-05 | dfu

For those who were not alive at the time, you read it in your history book. John Kennedy: Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.

In more recent times, we heard Ronald Wilson Reagan: Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

And a little more than a month ago on a frigid day in Washington D.C., we heard the words of another man. Those words are destined to become among the most famous words in history. George W. Bush: Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world: All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.

I am pleased to be able to say that I was there to hear those words. I heard them live. People longing from freedom around the world have heard them on tape and seen them on the internet. Those words are having a profound effect around the world.

George W. Bush will be remembered for those words, just as Kennedy and Reagan are remembered for the above citations.

As an aside, for what will Bill Clinton be remembered? I did not have sex with that woman. . . . That man wasted the eight years that he was given. Absolutely wasted them. As the evil Hillary Clinton does an extreme makeover to fool America, I hope that people will never forget the lesson taught by her husband -- never again trust a Clinton with foreign policy and with the quest for freedom.

The smell of freedom is in the air. People everywhere know that George W. Bush will never waiver. The left can protest in the street all they want. He has told strangers around the world that this nation stands with them. He means it, and the whole world now knows that he means it. We are blessed that this man of character and vision is in the White House. We are watching the world change as we never could have imagined.

BUSH AND SPREADING DEMOCRACY

[over3Owithabrain]

Bill Clinton could deliver a stirring speech, but the words were empty

Can anyone remember any particular speech or phrase uttered by that man, save for "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?

The stirring words of JFK are ironic relative to today's DemocRATic Party. He would not recognize what happened to DemocRATS. Were he alive today, he would be in his 80s and announcing that he was leaving the DemocRATic Party.

From a children's primer on the history of the 21st Century:

President Bush threw a rock so hard,
It went into orbit,
And became a Lodestar for others.

I heard the same thing doug. Where are they now? In Iran?

[doug from upland]

Maybe in Syria?
