***Democrats Are About To See Trap They set for GWB Close On Themselves***

that I do not know, but it is being prepared to be delivered in such a way as to generate a trememdous buzz....possible with a special announcement from the Oval Office.

Just announced on F&F that the trap springs within two weeks

bttt

Looks like their only solution to their problem with Bush is to move further from the truth. This country was founded on courage, hard work, God and Freedom and the Dems just don't seem to get it. I honestly don't care if Bush lies to protect this country(not that he did). Just who has been stabbing us in the back all these years. The UN with the help of the Dems?

I agree. Ann Coulter's book isn't new information, but it is timely. (I haven't yet read it, just read about it). I think this is a book that is going to have an impact (maybe like in their own way Uncle Tom's Cabin, or the books of Dickens or The Jungle etc. etc.) The curtain has been stripped away and the Dems and the Left have been revealed for the little, unprincipled, traitorous scum that they have been all along. I believe that Ann has changed the dialog, and it particularly sucks to be a RAT these days.

I just noticed that you posted this comment two days ago... but I'm going to reply anyway.

Whether the news media likes it or not, the "16 words" did express the truth, and exactly what President Bush meant to say. When I READ those words over MYSELF, rather than let some media flunkie interpret them for me, I immediately NOTICED the way the president made that statement. I'm a bear of somewhat little brain, but I KNEW that meant our US intel had probably not had as much confidence in that statement as the Brits did, but that nevertheless the President elected to include this in his speech because of the tremendous importance of possible concealment of a nuclear program by Hussein.

This tempest in a teapot has been dismissed by me from day one for this reason. He said what he meant, and meant what he said. Case closed.

It would be helpful if more people could learn to listen, to read and think about what they read, wouldn't it?

Yes. I think what is the most confusing about the made-up "scandal", is the administration's rather bumbling explanations. All the had to do was keep repeating the "16 words" and say that the CIA wasn't able to independently verify the information but British intel was sure enough of their source that the administration deemed it important enough to be included in a State of the Union address. Enough said. The explanations have, in a way, made it worse.

But your point is well taken - if people would read for themselves and analyze what they've read, the could reach their own conclusions without being led by the media. Of course, that assumes that the liberal filter is appropriate quoting adminsitration officials, something we both know happens quite rarely. The new DNC ad, for example, doesn't mention the words "British intelligence". It's all misleading for people who don't take the time to read carefully themselves.

Terrorism exists not only in the middle east.

The financial supporter of ME terrorism (Saddam) is out of the way.

The holistic head of the ME terorists is out of the way.

There remain many, many terrorists groups and leaders.

They are all organized and controlled by one faction.

The terrorists in the US have a name that hides their agenda. Their 'leaders' have had respectable jobs that hide their purposes.

Ann is trying to expose those leaders of the terrorists. It all boils down to the same things, in the end.

Power, money to have power, money that makes others bend to your power, The mafia, the Red mafia, organized crime, terrorism, thiefs, cutthroats, rapists, pirates,.....evil incarnate.

The war for Good vs. Evil has been ongoing for a long time, and it is only our recognition of it's true face that has had a short existence.

To think that Bill and Hill are terrorist leaders of an organization called the Democratic Party is called unspeakable, yet, as always, the truth is relegated to unspeakable by evil, so as not to interfere with it's progress.

I missed F&F, are there any details? And how do they know? Thanks.

It would be helpful if more people could learn to listen, to read and think about what they read, wouldn't it?

Why would we bother to do that when the humane liberal 'Rats and their lamestream media lap dogs are kind enough to tell us what was said and what to think about it?

well, there you go, get your news before it's news at FreeRepublic.com

Rather than relying on the mediot's filters, I get my news about what the administration said directly from www.whitehouse.gov - nothing magical about this - the majority of Americans can now do the same.

I just reposted my comment to you at the thread of on the J.Farah column about "the uranium flap" put on FR today.

I'm disappointed in Fox New Channel's reporting on this story. They have mis-quoted the president from his State of the Union address - just as the liberal press and DNC have misquoted him. I expect better from Fox.

FOXNEWS is really getting careless lately. The repeat rumors on many issues when simple research would reveal the truth.

I really hate it when one of the hosts opens a discussion thread with a guest with an erroneous supposition.

"I'm not sure it's time to spring the trap, yet...."

I would like to see it sprung during the dim convention right after they announce the capture or deaths of Saddam and Bin Laden.

I agree that the Democrats are hysterically trying to steal the limelight from the Bush trip to Africa. In light of this, here is the text of one of the Bush speeches which I found especially eloquent and moving, from the Wall Street Journal.

ON THE RECORD

'A Certain Kind of Fire'
How enslaved Africans helped awaken the conscience of America.

BY GEORGE W. BUSH
Monday, July 14, 2003 12:01 a.m. EDT

(Editor's note: President Bush delivered this speech last Tuesday on Goree Island, Senegal, site of a Dutch-built slave station through which as many as two million enslaved Africans passed.)

For hundreds of years on this island peoples of different continents met in fear and cruelty. Today we gather in respect and friendship, mindful of past wrongs and dedicated to the advance of human liberty.

At this place, liberty and life were stolen and sold. Human beings were delivered and sorted, and weighed, and branded with the marks of commercial enterprises, and loaded as cargo on a voyage without return. One of the largest migrations of history was also one of the greatest crimes of history.

Below the decks, the middle passage was a hot, narrow, sunless nightmare; weeks and months of confinement and abuse and confusion on a strange and lonely sea. Some refused to eat, preferring death to any future their captors might prepare for them. Some who were sick were thrown over the side. Some rose up in violent rebellion, delivering the closest thing to justice on a slave ship. Many acts of defiance and bravery are recorded. Countless others, we will never know.

Those who lived to see land again were displayed, examined and sold at auctions across nations in the Western Hemisphere. They entered societies indifferent to their anguish and made prosperous by their unpaid labor. There was a time in my country's history when one in every seven human beings was the property of another. In law, they were regarded only as articles of commerce, having no right to travel, or to marry, or to own possessions. Because families were often separated, many denied even the comfort of suffering together.

For 250 years the captives endured an assault on their culture and their dignity. The spirit of Africans in America did not break. Yet the spirit of their captors was corrupted. Small men took on the powers and airs of tyrants and masters. Years of unpunished brutality and bullying and rape produced a dullness and hardness of conscience. Christian men and women became blind to the clearest commands of their faith and added hypocrisy to injustice. A republic founded on equality for all became a prison for millions. And yet in the words of the African proverb, "No fist is big enough to hide the sky." All the generations of oppression under the laws of man could not crush the hope of freedom and defeat the purposes of God.
In America, enslaved Africans learned the story of the exodus from Egypt and set their own hearts on a promised land of freedom. Enslaved Africans discovered a suffering Savior and found he was more like themselves than their masters. Enslaved Africans heard the ringing promises of the Declaration of Independence and asked the self-evident question: Then why not me?

In the year of America's founding, a man named Olaudah Equiano was taken in bondage to the New World. He witnessed all of slavery's cruelties, the ruthless and the petty. He also saw beyond the slaveholding piety of the time to a higher standard of humanity. "God tells us," wrote Equiano, "that the oppressor and the oppressed are both in His hands. And if these are not the poor, the broken-hearted, the blind, the captive, the bruised which our Savior speaks of, who are they?"

Down through the years, African-Americans have upheld the ideals of America by exposing laws and habits contradicting those ideals. The rights of African-Americans were not the gift of those in authority. Those rights were granted by the Author of Life, and regained by the persistence and courage of African Americans, themselves.

Among those Americans was Phyllis Wheatley, who was dragged from her home here in West Africa in 1761, at the age of seven. In my country, she became a poet, and the first noted black author in our nation's history. Phyllis Wheatley said, "In every human breast, God has implanted a principle which we call love of freedom. It is impatient of oppression and pants for deliverance."

That deliverance was demanded by escaped slaves named Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, educators named Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, and ministers of the Gospel named Leon Sullivan and Martin Luther King Jr. At every turn, the struggle for equality was resisted by many of the powerful. And some have said we should not judge their failures by the standards of a later time. Yet in every time, there were men and women who clearly saw this sin and called it by name.

We can fairly judge the past by the standards of President John Adams, who called slavery "an evil of colossal magnitude." We can discern eternal standards in the deeds of William Wilberforce and John Quincy Adams, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Abraham Lincoln. These men and women, black and white, burned with a zeal for freedom, and they left behind a different and better nation. Their moral vision caused Americans to examine our hearts, to correct our Constitution, and to teach our children the dignity and equality of every person of every race. By a plan known only to Providence, the stolen sons and daughters of Africa helped to awaken the conscience of America. The very people traded into slavery helped to set America free.

My nation's journey toward justice has not been easy and it is not over. The racial bigotry fed by slavery did not end with slavery or with segregation. And many of the issues that still trouble America have roots in the bitter experience of other times. But however long the journey, our destination is set: liberty and justice for all.
In the struggle of the centuries, America learned that freedom is not the possession of one race. We know with equal certainty that freedom is not the possession of one nation. This belief in the natural rights of man, this conviction that justice should reach wherever the sun passes leads America into the world.

With the power and resources given to us, the United States seeks to bring peace where there is conflict, hope where there is suffering, and liberty where there is tyranny. And these commitments bring me and other distinguished leaders of my government across the Atlantic to Africa.

African peoples are now writing your own story of liberty. Africans have overcome the arrogance of colonial powers, overturned the cruelties of apartheid, and made it clear that dictatorship is not the future of any nation on this continent. In the process, Africa has produced heroes of liberation--leaders like Mandela, Senghor, Nkrumah, Kenyatta, Selassie and Sadat. And many visionary African leaders . . . have grasped the power of economic and political freedom to lift whole nations and put forth bold plans for Africa's development.

Because Africans and Americans share a belief in the values of liberty and dignity, we must share in the labor of advancing those values. In a time of growing commerce across the globe, we will ensure that the nations of Africa are full partners in the trade and prosperity of the world. Against the waste and violence of civil war, we will stand together for peace. Against the merciless terrorists who threaten every nation, we will wage an unrelenting campaign of justice. Confronted with desperate hunger, we will answer with human compassion and the tools of human technology. In the face of spreading disease, we will join with you in turning the tide against AIDS in Africa.

We know that these challenges can be overcome, because history moves in the direction of justice. The evils of slavery were accepted and unchanged for centuries. Yet eventually, the human heart would not abide them. There is a voice of conscience and hope in every man and woman that will not be silenced--what Martin Luther King called a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. That flame could not be extinguished at the Birmingham jail. It could not be stamped out at Robben Island Prison. It was seen in the darkness here at Goree Island, where no chain could bind the soul. This untamed fire of justice continues to burn in the affairs of man, and it lights the way before us.
