Bush: "I'm confident that this young century will be liberty's century."
"When it comes to the desire for liberty and justice there is no clash of civilizations. People everywhere are capable of freedom and worthy of freedom," Mr. Bush said. "I'm confident that this young century will be liberty's century," he added."

Excerpt from Bush's speech to the U.N.-


Liberty for All

By William Lloyd Garrison


THEY tell me, Liberty! that in thy name
I may not plead for all the human race;
That some are born to bondage and disgrace,
Some to a heritage of woe and shame,
And some to power supreme, and glorious fame:
With my whole soul I spurn the doctrine base,
And, as an equal brotherhood, embrace
All people, and for all fair freedom claim!
Know this, O man! whate’er thy earthly fate—
God never made a tyrant nor a slave:
Woe, then, to those who dare to desecrate
His glorious image!—for to all He gave
Eternal rights, which none may violate;
And, by a mighty hand, the oppressed He yet shall save!

3. PNAC
American foreign and defense policy is adrift. Conservatives have criticized the incoherent policies of the Clinton Administration. They have also resisted isolationist impulses from within their own ranks. But conservatives have not confidently advanced a strategic vision of America's role in the world. They have not set forth guiding principles for American foreign policy. They have allowed differences over tactics to obscure potential agreement on strategic objectives. And they have not fought for a defense budget that would maintain American security and advance American interests in the new century.

They don't want much, just to rule the world.

4. I'm pretty such that was the 18th century.
When the US and French overthrew their aristocratic masters. If Georgie and Pals get their way, the 21st century will be a return to slavery, with middle class america thrown back into serfdom.

10. As usual, they shit on words and ideas that have good connotations
My idea of liberty does not square with the Bush administration's ideas and policies.

11. That's a typical example of Bush's reverse world.
Everything he says is just the opposite of the truth.

"I'm going to do everything in my power to protect your liberty".

That means he's going to do everything in his power to take away your liberty and protect his own ass.

Take any Bush speech and apply this. It's easy because he speaks in reverse imagery.
