Heel slamming and proclamations are what you pray for -- they accomplish nothing.

Kissing the U.N.'s tushie for being "resolved to keep the most basic commitment of civilization" is an out-and-out distortion...and will accomplish something that might not cause Americans who cherish our freedoms to give three big cheers in the future.

I want our President to have the guts to call things what they are. And how that can be a bad thing except for those who want the U.N.'s vision for America to be our own...I haven't a clue.

Bush-->Every civilized nation here today is resolved to keep the most basic commitment of civilization. We will defend ourselves and our future against terror and lawless violence.

*Bwaha* -- You chopped off the very important first part of Bush's sentence, totally misrepresenting what Bush said. That would be " every civilized nation" he was referring to -- not the U.N. Why must you do that to try and make a point? Being the intelligent person that you are, I know you -- not Twodees -- can do better than that.

This speech is as strong as you can go with the U.N. They have now been publicly chastised by Bush for "playing games" for putting a human rights abuser in a position of acceptance.

Watching Bush operate - he deals on the positive and encourages more positive action - which is a very effective managment tool. We have seen how he ignores the actions he finds despicable (all things Clinton) and, instead, turns the attention to positive actions.

This was very apparent this week while Clinton was out with a speech picturing America as also involved in terrorism and no better than the worst terrorists in other countries, Bush comes out with the speech to Americans on how wonderful this country is, how patriotic, how they have done wonderful things for others during this crisis, how our goal is to make this country safe from terrorism for our children and grandchildren. Bush gives us leadership to bring out the best in America. Bush takes us back to the years of strong American values, honor, dignity, love of country - not the trashiness of corruption, spin, manipulations of the truth for personal gain and the desire to cast America as the offender of all in the world.

Bush is the heartland and is like us. Clinton and those that honor and worship him feel they are the elitist intelligent, sophisticated in our midst. We identify with Bush and his values rather than those of the Clinton regime.
