i dont think he can do a third of the crap he just said he would do.

[Deepblue]

Hes not done...

[Grimloq]

yup. his little War Of Terror really sucked up the funds. [sarcasm] can you believe hes FRUSTERATED?[/sarcasm]


what DID he just say he can do, anyway?

[.::Tin Can::.]

No, but since this board basically hates everything about Bush, they will most likely tear him up on his way there.

Ugh...
I am not even bothering to argue with u this time....
It will never make any difference to anyone....

[.::Tin Can::.]

Since Kazan is here he will destroy all opposition with his information from CNN and NBC. (and ABC)

However, neat fact. The deficit dropped a lot since last year.

(Paraphrasing)
Bush: We will support movements to establish democracies in other countries. We have no wish to impose our way of government on other countries. Our intent is to build Democratic nations.

[.::Tin Can::.]

Well technically we would be imposing democracy, but since our country is a democracy it's basically the same thing, right?

Wrong.

You can't classify democracy as the "American" thing, since it's just a system. We are just reknown for our democratic approach, and overall, general sucess over a rather short period in history.

Yeah Kazan, that's exactly where I get all my information, from WeeklyWorldNews, unlike you, who gets it from the hole in your ass. I prefer the paper and not the excriment you crap out all over the board, claiming to be the "absolute truth"

Also, do I just attack you and call you a jackass? No. I say you pull stuff out of your ass, but I respect you for your computer skills and making Ferrium. I'd like to keep a kind of mutual respect here.

[Ford Prefect]

Bah, my blood boils when he talks about stem cells.

Oh and, who else thinks Kazan needs to smoke a lot of weed?

No, technically, the USA isn't a democracy. We don't vote on issues so much as we vote on people to vote on issues for us.

However, if we assume Democracy is the system of government we use (Which I think Bush has either stated or strongly implied, because it's such a good-sounding word) then it is "our system" of government. No, we don't have any ownership on it, but it is the system of government and in common English usage, "our system".

And if we run around trying to make nations democratic (Hell, we went to war with Iraq) then we are imposing that system of government on others.

Quite honestly, what I saw of Bush's speech could basically be classified as "Four more years" (I started watching ~30 minutes after it started, though, less than halfway through - but I bet half the time I missed was just opening remarks and introductions). A short, general blurb on what's going to happen, all the Great Things about it, and then a feel-good section about how great the stuff we've done has been.

I didn't really hear anything new, I didn't hear a grand plan, more of a movie trailer of a speech about Bush's presidency.

[Liberator]

*readies cute animal cannons*

Kazan, shut it.  This is to talk about the speech itself, not how much of a dick you think Bush is.

On the whole I thought it was a decent speech and he touched on a lot of the issues that I feel strongly about.

[Jeryko]

I agree, it was an excellent speech.

And Kazan, shut it, as was said above.  Stop attacking people who like Bush, or who "you" think likes Bush.

[Nuclear1]

I completely agree with Lib.

Point 1: Kazan needs to shut the hell up.

Point 2: Bush did a good job as always of summarizing what he is going to (read: will[/i]) do in his next term.

Point 3: Ummm.... Kazan needs to shut the hell up.

[.::Tin Can::.]

The people rally...

[Ghost]

Hehehe.... Bush actually said "nuclear" right...
