[Jean S]

Starting now.

The pre-speech festivities

The Democrat Response Thread

[cajungirl]

Free People set the course of history,,,that is magnificent, should be on his tomb.

[meyer]

Did he just say "Hillarism"?

[twntaipan]

Free people will set the course of history. Awesome quote.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

He just cleaned up clinton's garbage- the Cole, the Embassy bombings, top AQ.

[optimistically_conservative]

Same with the SCOTUS Justices ... we don't pick political sides (in public).

TODAY THE GRAVEST DANGER IN THE
WAR ON TERROR, THE GRAVEST
DANGER FACING AMERICA AND THE
WORLD IS OUTLAW REGIMES THAT
SEEK AND POSSESS NUCLEAR,
CHEMICAL, AND BIOLOGICAL
WEAPONS.
THESE REGIMES COULD USE SUCH
WEAPONS FOR BLACKMAIL, TERROR,
AND MASS MURDER.
THEY COULD ALSO GIVE OR SELL
THOSE WEAPONS TO TERRORIST
ALLIES WHO WOULD USE THEM
WITHOUT THE LEAST HESITATION.
THIS THREAT IS NEW.
AMERICA'S DUTY IS FAMILIAR.
THROUGHOUT THE 20TH CENTURY
SMALL GROUPS OF MEN SEIZED
CONTROL OF GREAT NATIONS, BUILT
ARMIES AND ARSENALS, AND SET OUT TO DOMINATE THE WEAK AND
INTIMIDATE THE WORLD.
IN EACH CASE THEIR AMBITIONS OF
CRUELTY AND MURDER HAD NO LIMIT
.
IN EACH CASE, THE AMBITIONS OF
HITLERISM, MILITARISM, AND
COMMUNISM WERE DEFEATED BY THE
WILL OF FREE PEOPLES, BY THE
STRENGTH OF GREAT ALLIANCES,
AND BY THE MIGHT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.

if communism were only dead. ah, one can dream

[Mr. Mojo]

We are DEPLOYING STAR WARS! We are DEPLOYING STAR WARS!

Yep, did you see all the Rats sitting on their asses during the standing O? Those SOBs would rather us be vulnerable to ICBM attack than support a Reagan idea.

[azGOPgal]

".....by the might of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" (aplause)

[Wordsmith]

Ooohhh. Communism...defeated by the might of America...

[SamAdams76]

Greatest danger to U.S. are regimes that acquire nuclear or biological weapons. They will sell them to terrorists who will not hesitate to use them against us.

Hitlerism, Communism, Terrorism, all stopped by the might of the United States of America.

[Brytani]

He's writing the new Dem talking points to slam Bush with. They have to do something.

[Taffini]

old man clinton probably suffers from carpel tunnel

[CurlyBill]

I love this man ... but I wish that he would say "nuclear" instead of "nucular"!!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Pull your pants up McCain, you're on TV!

[William McKinley]

Good, he used Communism and Hitlerism in the same breath, on the same side (the side opposite the US)

[Bonaparte]

Another long standing O! "The might of the United States of America."

[Constitution Day]

If he's unhappy, I'm happy. And I know you are, too.

EXTREMELY so!
Hell, I fixed a stiff Maker's Mark on the rocks after seeing his pitiful grimace.

[Wait4Truth]

What is with the Military people in the front row not applauding or anything? Is that what they are supposed to do? Sit there?

I think that is normal for them. Even on Sept 20, 2001, they did not applaud very much.
