Bush quote on fundamental reality......
"Some who call themselves 'realists' question whether the spread of democracy in the Middle East should be any concern of ours," he told the Air Force Academy. "But the realists in this case have lost contact with a fundamental reality. America has always been less secure when freedom is in retreat. America is always more secure when freedom is on the march."

www.robertfisk.com (under latest news)article entitled "Powell will stay if neocons go"


Well - Americans - you must be feeling much more secure knowing that "freedom is on the march!" WTF IS that anyways???? Freedom on the march...Bush has lost contact with reality - real reality - real fundamental real reality.......

4. The only freedom that guy is interested in is everyone letting him have
the freedom to lie, steal, cheat, start wars, approve torture, etc., with absolutely no questions asked by ANYBODY. His definition of freedom extends only to the immediate BFEE and his donor buddies.

The rest of the world will be allowed the freedom to do what he says, or fact the 'wrath of bush*'.

6. IF he repeats the lie often enough...
people will believe it:

War is peace.
Criminal is law abiding.
Offense is defense.
Freedom is on the march.

7. How dare he* talk of "freedom"?
Freedom is the US constitution, the thing he happens to be eroding to the point of destruction.

His idea of "freedom" is giant corporations pissing on as many people as possible so they can make an extra buck.

8. Yep - you got it
We are starting to grant corporations the INDIVIDUAL rights guaranteed by the Constitution. When that happens, baby, LOOK OUT.

9. Let me guess.
Kerry, Clinton, Clark or Edwards is calling himself a "realist."

OR, Bush is just using his favorite straw man, the unnamed "some." I would like to see "some"'s statement questioning whether the spread of democracy in the Middle East should be any concern of ours.
