"GEORGE W. BUSH State of the Union Address, January 20th 2005
Hi Dad, hi Mum, hi everybody,
I kind of have a dream
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of your difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed : "We hold these truths to be self-evident : that all rich men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Iraq the sons of american CEOs and the sons of iraqi CEOs will be able to sit down together at the table of commerce. I have a dream that one day even Iraq, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of free trade and air-conditionned malls.
I have a dream that one day the state of France, whose government's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little american boys and girls will be able to join hands with little french boys and girls, and walk together, as brothers and sisters - no kidding. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every profit shall be exalted, every loss and tax shall be made low, the democrat places will be made republican, and the gay places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all shareholders shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to you. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of gold. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of... of whatever. With this faith we will be able to golf together, to prey together, to smuggle together, to avoid jail together, to stand up for liberalism together, knowing that our economy will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father didn't die yet, land of the pilgrim's ride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of Washington. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of Wall Street.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, Republican men, Protestants, straight guys, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old WASP spiritual : "Free at last ! Free at last ! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last !" Thank you ! Oh boy, that was close. I can't believe we made it again. But I'm there. Eh,eh. I'm there ! And the dream has just begun.

The other half of the country,the ones who didn't vote for Bush, will be protesting the Coronation of this Emperor with no brain.
I am sure the media will not report this.
Now I say good bye as I watch my freedoms erode and prepare to be arrested for attending a local protest, why you ask would I be arrested? I plan no violence only peaceful protest, but that my friend is enough to get me in trouble with the thought police.
RESIST!

Turn your back on Bush

I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the media’s lack of questions to the presidential candidates about global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be an issue.
Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?
Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do? No matter what your political affiliation is or who you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.
