Blogging the democratic revolution
Over at Powerline, they are reporting on the latest from the Washington debacle, in which up to 3,000 felons, dead people, and those not eligible voted. Even though the Republican candidate won two recounts, the Democratic won the last hand-recount. And honestly, not only do I find that fishy, but the fact that they are willing to ignore the fraud is worse. This is really irritating to me. It has been going on for awhile now, but like Powerline says, it is only just finally getting attention in the mainstream media. They can’t hide from it anymore. Ukraine got a…
John Hawkins at Right Wing News has his thoughts about the misinterpretations of the Bush speech. He has the right idea, as most pundits and newspapers I have seen don’t seem to. We aren’t going to start bombing the whole world. We’re going to take each opportunity case-by-case and see what we can do. For Ukraine, it was supporting a revote. For Iran, it may be bombing some infrastructure and assisting the people overthrow the government, whereas with Saudi Arabia it might just be simple political pressures to reform. The ultimate goal is to end tyranny, but that doesn’t mean…
Read the entire post. Bookmarked.
The Drudge Report is reporting (hence the name) that British newspapers are seizing on mocking President Bush’s promise to fight tyranny. The TELEGRAPH slapped: “DEFIANT BUSH DOESN’T MENTION THE WAR, President George W Bush began his second term in unapologetic style yesterday, pledging to maintain his muscular foreign policy and spread freedom “to the darkest corners of the world.” The TIMES rips: “HIS SECOND-TERM MISSION: TO END TYRANNY ON EARTH, Four years ago he was the Accidental President, scion of a ruling family propelled into the highest office more by genetics and duty than by political zeal and ideological mission.”…
I was at the school today, and regretfully missed President Bush’s 2nd inauguration speech, but it was everything that I predicted. If you haven’t already, read my longer-than-normal post called The new war for the new term, in which I predicted that America’s new struggle would be ending tyranny. WASHINGTON (AP) – President Bush sought in his second inaugural speech to define his new term as a fight for freedom in every nation with the “ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.” At home, he urged a divided nation to find the unity it had felt after the Sept.…
It will be three years come the end of January since President Bush made his first declaration of “The Axis of Evil,” the three regimes of Iran, North Korea, and Iraq who sponsored in many ways acts of terrorism commited by individuals against the free world. Since that day, the United States has been commited to capturing — and more appropriately, killing — these individuals, freezing their funds, and in more notable cases, toppling the governments that support them by force. So far the War on Terror, while a painful course, has been a successful one. The end of President…
INBB has an article posted about aid from the U.S. and development of democracy in those countries. Even though I could just link to the article itself, I’d rather plug him because he has many interesting articles posted — some even from differing opinions than my own — that I had never seen before. I will say that the man needs trackback though!
CNN has definitely been putting out some strange headlines. It must be the lack of things going on in the world, as obviously demonstrated on this website. Here is the first one about his reading list, and I think I’ll find myself at Barnes and Noble picking up a copy of “The Case for Democracy” now. My favorite article, however, was about how President Bush like to make up nicknames for people. It makes me wonder if he actually called Vladimir Putin as “Pootie-Poot” to his face. Then again, if I met “Pootie-Poot” face-to-face, I might just end up calling…
The list from the Heritage Foundation is here, and the story can be found here. The United States has dropped for the first time from the top 10 nations in an annual “index of economic freedom” issued jointly by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. I know I am talking about this rather late, but as I was pondering it a bit more, I figured if I had something to say, I better say it while it is at least semi-timely. I think the way this news was shaped is very sad. The story should not be “how…
