55th Inauguration And Day's Events - Live Thread

[Seattle Conservative]

Denise is great.
Didn't she sing at the WWII memorial opening??

I don't remember that, but she did sing at the event the night before the last inauguration and also at the church service at the Nat'l Cathedral after 9/11. I think she's wonderful!

Why do you jerks ALWAYS have to come and mess up these threads?

Aren't there enough "Hate Bush" threads out there on the forum to suit you?

Go away.

[k2blader]

I think we should focus most of our efforts on our own country.

paraphrase GWB acknowledges reinquist former pres's, congress and citizens (cheers)
on this day marked by ceremony
mindful of the consequential times in which we live
duties defined not by words
after the shipwreck of communism went quiet, days of repose and sabbatical, seen our weakness
as long as parts of the world simmer in resentment will be violence
only one force in history can
led by sense and common sense to conclusion that our liberty rests on liberty in other lands
our interests and deepest beliefs are now one, have always said everyone on earth has value, they are made in image of the maker
urgent requirement to seek and support the growth of democratic movements with the goal of ending tyranny in the world
freedom must be chosen and defended by citizens and rule of law
WE will not impose our style of govt on the unwilling
this is the concentrated work of generations
America's influence is considerable and we will use it.
Will protect America from attacks
we will clarify choice for every leader repression wrong

will not pretend dissidents enjoy chains make sure success in our relations means decent treatment of their people
rights a re secured by free dissent

no rights without liberty, some have questioned need for liberty, Americans should never be surprised by the power of our ideals
liberty will come to those who love it, all who live in tyranny will know the US will stand with you
democratic reformers will know America sees you for who you are, future leaders

leaders of govts need to know that to serve your people will need to trust them.
all the allies can know we rely on help

to fellow citizens have asked for patience in securing America, because we've acted in great liberating nature if the nation 10s of millions have achieved freedom
we have lit a fire in hearts of men one day it will reach the darkest corners of our world

many americans have answered this call we will always honour their names and sacrifice. Ask our youngest citizens, have seen soldiers, make the choice to serve a cause larger than your wants and you will add to the country

at home have unfinished work of american liberty.
economic indepence instead of labouring on the edge of subsistence
we will bring the highest standards to schools and build an ownership society mentions insurance pensions etc
we will make society more prosperous, just and equal
society depends on integrity and conscience, depends on governance of self, families
move forward by affirming truths of the past
in America's ideal of freedom, liberty from all does not mean Independence from one another.
even the unwanted have worth

our country must abandon racism, cannot carry message of freedom and baggage of bigotry at the same time

Americans of every party and background are bound by the cause of liberty. I will try and heal divisions
we can feel unity and pride when america acts for good.

we go forward with complete confidence, human choices move events God moves as He wills.
History has an ebb and flow of justice but has an inevitable flow of liberty, when liberty bell first rung said that it meant something, means something still
we are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of freedom.

Have this on two TV's. CBS has a delay for some reason. CSPAN has it where President Bush says a sentence, then CBS has him starting the same sentence after CSPAN's coverage.

[Salamander]

That works on a lot of levels....:)

[ohioWfan]

We didn't quote from Mao's Little Red Book when we were fighting communism, did we?

I certainly hope you can see the difference there, and are just saying that to get attention......

[ILBBACH]

What about the IRA?

Point taken, however, do you think the IRA would set off a nuke in an American or British city if they had the chance?

"Words of the Koran.....give me a break, why did he say that?"

A++ speech until that remark. Downhill thereafter. What "words" would they be, as if we should care?

[eureka!]

"Yes, he could have almost been preaching in a church. The lefty-God haters must be going Rumplestiltskin right about now. "

Agreed. He almost sounded like a Baptist minister at times. Now, God of our Fathers. Hehehehe....

[Rummyfan]

Merely a sop..... he understands who and what the enemy is.

[HankReardon]

Must have something pround on it such as "NO WAR". Do they want America to surrender?

[demlosers]

What? Someone got arrested?

More like she got escorted out of view.

[Michael81Dus]

I see it and I´m smiling right now. I can imagine so good how it feels to win, and I know how I will be partying next year in September, when I´m finished at university and the country gets back a leader who serves the nation first instead of dubious lobbyists (Greens, Peaceniks).

[retrokitten]

Do they want America to surrender?

Yes.

[MEG33]

Thank you for your good wishes today!
