PING!
Ping...
Great article.
BUMP!
Yes....and isn't it sad that it has to be a writer from CANADA that sees this so clearly??
Our own media can't even see the truth through their hate of Pres. Bush..
LOL thanks for the ping, kiddo! I was JUST about to Ping YOU ;-)
I needed SO much to read an article like that today...after all of the crapola that has come out of our elected politicians the last week or so.
Notice that the source is the Amb. from the USA, out of South Carolina...that is a good man.
"Michael Costello: Left on the wrong side of history"
"How has it happened that the Left of politics across the world has ended up opposing a foreign policy philosophy of spreading democracy in favour of supporting the traditional conservative agenda of stability, sovereignty and the status quo? Because that is what the Left is doing in its hostile reaction to George W. Bush's second inaugural address.... Bush said in his second inaugural address: "The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." This is resonant of John F. Kennedy in his inaugural address in 1961, when he said: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." .... True, Bush and others are over-claiming progress and underestimating the dangers that lie ahead. We accept democracy as normal; it is not. Democracy is the most radical and revolutionary political idea in the world.... The key thing for those on the Left to understand is that intense dislike of Bush and echoes of Vietnam do not make a foreign policy. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Bolton - they too will pass. What will go on is the great human desire to be free, which should be at the core of our foreign policy. The great danger for the Left is that its Vietnam and Bush obsessions may mean that it will end up on the wrong side of history."
AMEN! I was in great need of some GOOD news today as well.
I hope Duncan Hunter "educates" Warner! (and several others)
Yep.
bttt
LOL...you are so right.
They will enjoy what the President and our Military have done for them...but, complaining is their main goal when they wake up in the morning...find something to complain about.
I want the next POTUS to point out the POSITIVE that has come out of what has been done the last 6 years..and, unlike what Hillary and others say.
I know it hasn't been just the USA...that England, and Poland, and Australia, and Canada, and Japan..and other countries have also fought the good fight.
Anyone looking for a speach writter? Here is one of the best.
