Dubya used the phrase "Fire In the Minds of Men" in a speech regarding spreading freedom across the Middle East and the rest of the world.

Now you're pretending to be offended by an inaugural address written by Michael Gerson? The transnational pirate speech that broke into your home over the airwaves? Cool.

>>Now you're pretending to be offended
 
I wasn't offended by it at all.  At that time, I hadn't read Billington's "Fire in the Minds of Men" - nor was I aware of Dostoyevsky's origination of the phrase in "The Possessed".
 
I believed in Dubya's expressed desire to spread freedom - and still do.  That's why I took and published this photo...
 
...back in 2003, and why I would take and publish it again.
 

Today, however I have a less naive understanding of that revolutionary "Fire" - as well as those who stoke and manipulate it and how they do so without Government Of the People, By the People, and For the People necessarily foremost in their Fabian Socialist apparatchik collectivist minds.
