I am now officially afraid. Scared shitless, in fact. Witness:

[Deja Q]

1. The doorknob* talked of giving "freedom to all nations on Earth" without ONCE mentioning Iraq or Afghanistan. (I forgot the exact quote, those fuckers at cbsnews.com ALTERED THEIR ARTICLE (my main printout is at work, so ha ha ha to them) nor can I find the exact quote on the internet. But it downright scared me, the way it was worded. But you've got the gist of it, he's ready to control in the name of freedom.

2. He said it was "a calling from beyond the stars". (in other words, he's avoiding "God" or "Jesus" but it still can't hide the fact he truly needs to see a shrink or four...)

3. Don't forget. Every time he talks of liberty, mentally replacing "liberty" with "death" seems more apropos.

4. Iran has already chimed up saying that * would be stupid to attck. (cbsanews moved that article and my printout is at work. x( )

5. Again, he talks of liberty and freedom - but forcing it on others who are not ready will do no good. And he's ignoring the current examples of his bogus quest to spread freedom (iraq and Afghanistan).

6. This freedom and liberty shit IS bogus. He didn't even come up with it. SOme dipshit in Minnesota did with big lawn plates and the GOP (gop) readily hijacked that too.

* believes not in Jesus. Or Jebus. Or Satan.

He believes in armageddon.

1. You should be scared!

The freeper types in this country would be glad to send their kids off to war in the name of freedom for the world. They'd even suggest and support a draft in their hysteria.

We should all be scared. Bush appointed HIMself the Messiah of the world today. He will save the world. We should all be scared, indeed.

[Hollowkatt]

11. Messiah??????

Ya know, the original meaning of the word was not savior, but annointed king priest.
I think hes using it as the savior meaning, ala christianity, when his actios seem to be more along the lines of the earlier, more acurate deffinition. King priest.
Thats a bad thing.

[driver8]

17. I am scared too...

Regarding the freepers sending their kids to fight wars, that isn't going to happen. Fighting wars is for the minorities and poor kids that can't go to college. Those selfish fucking freepers are not going to lift a finger to fight a war.

[beam me up scottie]

2. Well of course, doesn't everyone spread liberty and freedom

via napalm?
How much more hypocritical can * get? All I can see are the freedoms he has taken away.

[patrice]

3. The whole thing is about rooting the military industrial complex

in the middle-class job base. All of this expansionist stuff about freedom we are exporting, these are the jobs that are supposed to replace our jobs that are being outsourced to other countries.

[Deja Q]

7. Bingo.

:-(

[patrice]

10. That's why it is so scary; It will work!

Fascism here we come.

[uppityperson]

4. Anytime I hear his pronouncements, I'm scared but this was bad.

As soon as he said he wanted to spread freedom to the dark corners of the world (or whatever the wording was) I felt sick. What I say = the opposite of what I'm going to do. He is the Anti-christ.

[grasswire]

5. Chris Matthews actually said...

...that any person who is not a Bush fan should be "petrified" by the speech today.

[Deja Q]

8. So should the * voters who feel that * is making the world safer.

There are many scenarios, but none of them seems particularly rosy...

And I hope they get drafted first.

[Arkana]

14. I am petrified--petrified that his idiotic policies spell doom for us.

So Tweety was half right, but still a disgusting suck-up.

[driver8]

19. "Petrified"? Is that another word for "scared shitless"?

What the hell is tweety trying to say? That we should be afraid of Shrubya and his global crusade? That is rather obvious, isn't it?

Matthews is an ass kissing piece of shit.

[neebob]

6. Lawn plates?

What are those? I thought the speech was scary, too, and I only read the first paragraph of one Yahoo! news story.

[Deja Q]

9. Lawn plates...

They all say "Liberate Iraq. Support Our Troops.

is an example of one such sign, though I kinda made an alteration to make it a little more accurate...

[neebob]

12. Oh, so they're yard signs.

Not common in the West. Can't say I've ever seen one that wasn't from a political campaign or a realtor.

[Deja Q]

22. ooops. sorry. slip of the mind, I meant 'yard signs'.

:silly: :crazy: on my part.

[seabeyond]

13. i am not afraid

nor should you. when being in aware, and we all are, we will be able to deal with things that come. who should be afraid are all those fools that blindly trusted him and is following him. they are going to be the ones to pee their pants. i have decided, all the people i see with a w04, i am going to say, a bush fan huh, arent you going to feel the fool not so far future.

[Edgewater_Joe]

15. When He Said He Was Anti-Tyrrany, Did He Offer To Resign?

If not, it's all one big, fat, m-f'n LIE!

[doodadem]

16. Greatest Mystery

You know, it has always been one of life's great mysteries to me: Why certain religions/political zealots, whatever, feel the need to assimilate other populations, other cultures. I am sure, that the people pushing Manifest Destiny, the Spanish Inquisition, and most missionaries, sound like Bush. We need to SAVE you (put your hand on the television, AMEN!)
I just don't get it. Who says your beliefs are better than mine? If I want to worship trees, or elect SpongeBob (and they have) as my leader, that should be my prerogative.
Like the navy veteran who posted his views in an earlier thread, I keep thinking about that little Iraqi girl, covered in blood, screaming because our troops just blew away her parents. Do you suppose she's thinking about George Bush's "freedom and liberty".

[MisterP]

18. calling from beyond the stars? he's going to go Lovecraft! duck!

[librechik]

20. Another admission that he's an alien!

what's that he took the oath of office with?

IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!

[poe]

21. one of his more telling comments was...

when he alluded to leaders of other countries now in exile who are lovers of freedom shall return to rule or some such tripe. perhaps someone has the exact quote. the ex-shah of Iran Reza Pevlahzi (sp?) has a son of the same name living in exile in England and there has been much talk in the British press of a return to a secular monarchy in Iran with Reza Jr. reclaiming his "rightful perch on the peacock throne.

By the way the war in Iran is underway with low intensity warfare ala central america.

[leesa]

23. He's an alien.

[Petrushka]

24. "3. Don't forget. Every time he talks of liberty, . . . ".

Today, when * said something to the effect that there can be "...no human rights without human liberty.", wonder if he meant "human" as opposed, perhaps, to "inhuman"?
