Today we face the greatest test of our generation, defending our nation from a depraved, malevolent force that opposes our every interest and hates every value we hold dear. There was no avoiding this war but we will survive. Our enemies must not.

In this challenging time, I am grateful for the leadership of President George W. Bush and his steadfast resolve in defending our nation. He has led this country with moral clarity about the stakes involved and the strength to achieve unconditional victory.

Our President has not wavered in his determination to make this world a better, safer, freer place. Our nation must not yield in this long, tough fight to vanquish international terrorism and with George W. Bush as our President, it will not.


To the work of many American generations who protected our interests and championed our values abroad must now be added the defense of our freedoms here at home from a clear and present danger. We are very fortunate that in these challenging days we have a President and Vice President that have demonstrated time and again the determined, clear thinking necessary to prevail in this global fight between good and evil.

For the love of G-d Whittier, give it a rest.

gee, now I think I will vote for Bush.

you must be republican.

Bush is an idiot. That is a good reason not to vote for him.

isn't it on e of the signs of an empire in decay, endless foreign wars, disregarding anything that happens outside you're own country?

An empire fighting endless foreign wars sounds more like an expanding empire than one in decay. The very fact that they are foreign wars is a good thing. Fighting a domestic war sounds like the empire's in a great deal of trouble. Nobody likes fighting in their own country.

Disregarding anything happening elsewhere is a sign of a strong empire, since it doesn't have to listen to everyone elses whineying.

puke, puke!
you sound like a perfect citizen who will belive anything that the government says

Agreed. I know you're good under freedom of speech, but that doesn't give you the right to incessantly post baseless opinions constantly. This could be seen as flamebait, as I know you've seen that these kind of posts just get plenty of people riled up.

Edit: Flamebait: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Not outright flame, but still liable to bring angry replies. It's in the same context of trolling but with flamebaiting it's just the one person.

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). Also is used to refer to making obviously silly topics that people nonetheless will reply to. (making a case for the proof that teletubbies exist for instance. There will always be someone who feels compelled to post 'No they don't.' Threads like this should just be ignored.)

as reported by Newsweek:

NEWSWEEK reports that George W. Bush, appearing before a
right-to-life rally in Tampa, Florida on June 17, stated: "We
must always remember that all human beings begin life as a feces.
A feces is a living being in the eyes of God, who has endowed
that feces with all of the rights and God-given blessings of any
other human being." Bush repeated his error at least a dozen
times, before realizing that he had used the word 'feces" when he
meant to say "fetus."

...Our President has not wavered in his determination to make this world a better, safer, freer place...


omfg, Whittier writes this stuff about Bush in character, right? fight between good and evil? my arse! sorry, i'm very new here, but shouldn't fantasy writing be kept to the RP boards?

if Bush was determined to make the world a better, safer, freer place he woudn't be dragging us into ridiculous and illegal foreign wars. the man has no concept of democracy. he's emasculated the UN by his actions, and has been a bigger recruiter to terrorism than bin laden ever was. grow up, and take off your blinkers.

puke, puke!

Hey, I read your book, commie manifest.
good reading.

afraid of opinions that are opposite yours?

I can only imagine he is talking about some other George Bush.

afraid of opinions that are opposite yours?

Hardly, I can accept people who try to explain why they think the way they do. In school I was friends with several extremely conservative people, mostly because they could explain their thought processes and I could see where they were coming from. Whittier just keeps on the same track, and I'm just tired of it. *shrug*, that's all. Tired of seeing the same ol', same ol' I guess.

I don't agree with Mr Bush on many issues, and I personally hate Mr Blair for following along on so many issues like a loyal lap dog. War is not the way to end terrorism, but that should be argued at length, so for brevity, I'll just say the following:

"If you give up freedom for security, you end up with neither" - A quote from one of theUSA's founding fathers, which one escapes me. It kinda puts all the new security measures in a new light.

Plus: What is it with 'freedom fries'?

We should get over 9/11. 3000 people died. Big deal. More people die of hunder in the sudan everyday, but i don't see the Bush administration having a 'war against poverty'. The war against terror is only happening because bush is repaying his coporation buddies who gave him money in the election ie defence, oil and construction. These corporations just happen to have a big intrest in Iraq.
Well I suppose thats what you get when you vote in a president and cabinet which are all company directros.

Why does whittier assume what is best for america is always best for the world. Surely the american invasions have mage al'qaeda (sorry for the spelling) more determined than ever. I still ask where are the weapons of mass destruction and why in 2001 did a certain C.Powell and a certain C.Rice say that there was hardly a threat from Iraq and the main threat was al'qaeda? I rest my case

I'd honestly like to know what exactly Bush has done while in office. He's gone to war with Afganistan, which in a way could be justified, but then went off on another war to get revenge on a personal vendetta. Domestically, he's not really done anything for the American people. If I'm not mistaken, he's also raised the deficit higher than Reagan ever had it..............what exactly is it that he's done as president?

As for the debate on whether or not a Democrat could deal with the issues Bush faced in the wake of 9/11, I must say, I don't believe he could have done any worse.

If anyone could post an intelligent reply regarding what Bush has done right as president, I'd like to see it because I'm at a loss right now.

What I'm mainly interested in is knowing what good he's done:

For Veterans
For relations with other countries
For the average Amercian
For the economy

Like to know as well, sounds to me kind of childish..
"...Mom, mom! The French doesn't want to play cowboys and indians with us anymore!...." ".. I am never going to use the word french anymore!!... MOM!"

By the way, the French doesn't call it French Fries anyway.... that would be Pomme Frites... that means Fried Potetoes, wich sounds more intelligent then French Fries...
