Bush Invokes Jefferson on July 4

[jbwages]

"Unmeddling with the affairs of other nations, we presume not to prescribe or censure their course, happy could we be permitted to pursue our own in peace, and to employ all our means in improving the condition of our citizens."

"[We would be] guilty of great [error] in [our] conduct toward other nations [if we endeavored] to force liberty on [our] neighbors in [our] own form."

[y2knoproblem]

Jefferson didn't intend for us to invade other countries forcing our system of government down their throats with our military might.

[TGoodman]

Exactly the words I was going to entail!

Jefferson believed liberty a strong enough force that mankind will naturally embrace the ideas and liberate themselves. This is by no means an endorsement of military misadventures.

[zaurakdigis]

Bush is a Frat boy who has just woken up from a drunken stupor of power and realized he has something to do. He has accomplished nothing of importance and has left all his problems to the next guy. He is our worse president of all time. If anyone out there is tired of Bush bashing, brace yourself because we are just getting warmed up! He is the idiot we feared.

[jpbalkenende]

Now now Americans. YOU Bush Derangement Syndrome suffering hippies are not asking the right questions! What you need to ask yourself is: Who would I rather have a beer with. Old boy Georgie or that wig wearing latte sipping elitist Jefferson? Choose responsibly.

[44MONTEREY]

I like the part, "'All' men are endowed by our creator with inalienable rights . . ." Miranda rights for example, and the part, 'you have the right to remain silent'. "All" is not that hard of a word to understand.

[Fabadozy]

What he (they) are basically saying is: "Lets bomb them until they are like us".

[ladybroadoak]

WAR CRIMINAL is right.

You can take off the video, but you can't change the FACTS.

[patsagainstrats]

Barack Obama's spiritual advisor, Jeremiah Wright, has declared Thomas Jefferson a pedophile.

Obama donated nearly 30K to Wright's church last year.

[josueboyd]

"and on this fourth of July we _pray_ tribute to the brave men and women"

haha

[utubesucks2003]

Bush really shouldn't mention any of the founding fathers, like ever.

[bobeast3]

This is a Great Man. 2400 plus days without a terrorist blowing themself up, kiss the ground that he walks on you commie bastards!!!!!!!!!!!

[rossco00115]

arsehole

[bobeast3]

I think the better term for you is a "usefull idiot"

Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam.

[jpbalkenende]

Don't talk about freedom if you are the one supporting unlawful detention, illegal wire tapping and torture. The people who live in liberal democracies like me enjoy more freedom than you. I know I can take a shit without the government spying on me for example or smoke a joint if I were so inclined. Reflexive anti-Americanism huh? I guess that's an easy way of brushing aside the guilt you have for playing the part in making the USA more hated than it has ever been. Convenient for the conscience

[bobeast3]

Do you really think the "government" gives a rats ass about you smoking a joint in your mommies basement? You give yourself way too much credit. My God you are tedious and boring!Please don't reply any further I'm through wasting my time with the likes of you. You have robbed me of about 10 mins. of my life that could have been better used clipping my toe nails or couting my millions of dollars that I have earned in this GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!!!

[jpbalkenende]

Hahah the fact that idiots like yourself need to repeat that lats line so loudly to convince yourself peaks volumes of your insecurity. About your question regarding the joint.. Well apparently in America they DO care which was my point.

[jpbalkenende]

What the hell are you talking about. The terrorists are blowing themselves up every day killing Americans. 4000 Soldiers and counting are dead already you raging idiot!

[bobeast3]

The term BDS has been used in the political arena to describe a purported hatred by some American liberals of President George W. Bush and his policies.[1][2] This supposedly leads to reflexive opposition to any position advocated by Bush for no other reason than that Bush happens to be advocating it.[3]

[machalot]

It's far more widespread than we had feared... =P

But I believe it will go away in a few years, the same way people are realizing what a slimeball Bill Clinton really is after Obama's having to run against him, and after they no longer need to support him in order to oppose evil Republicans.

[jpbalkenende]

Wow the whole world including 70% of America seem to suffer from this 'disorder'. But only a small minority of raging lunatics we call 'rednecks' support the idiot. It must make you feel so good that you are on of the few who can see the light. I bet you have a shoebox downtown where you stand on and scream the truth to the people don't you?

[bobeast3]

I think there is a saying...."the masses are asses" And no to the shoebox thing. I don't know about you but any shoebox I've ever encounterd would pretty much be crushed when I would step upon it. Maybe you are such a light weight you would just float upon any flimsy little box you encounter.

[jpbalkenende]

I thought you cons hated physics and science in general. But yeah hope you are enjoying that stylish tinfoil hat when you're hanging with your small minority of truthers and visionaries who for some reason aren't appreciated in society.

There's another old saying in Tennessee BTW you might have good use for it:

Fool me once.. shame on... shame on you... a foolme can't get fooled again!

[intentionalsound]

We can't even make any LIBERATING changes to our laws in Canada without the GWB gang forcing us not to!!!

this guy talks about liberty at the same time as thinking "liberty for me to fart, on you, duh hu huh" seriously thats as far as his love for liberty goes.

[intentionalsound]

why is it that every time he opens his gap, I can't help but laugh? It's too hard to take this guy seriously. He just says the dumbest things continuously. Jefferson would be turning in his grave if he knew Bush was trying to leech off his good reputation!

freedom!? BAH! GWB takes AWAY our freedom! Evil b@st@rd!

[eastwood13]

Thomas Jefferson once shot a man on the white house lawn for treason...I wish Jefferson was still alive ;)

[NorCalCorsello]

Bush is both insincere, idiotic and a liar. January won't come soon enough. Did I mention dimwit? Bush doesn't even know what the internet is.

[ikekll]

TEST!!

[condonrichard]

There is more than a dash of hypocracy here. Jefferson believed in sovereignty; Bush sunscribes to undue influence in the affairs of other nations. Jefferson subscribed to limited government; Bush is hungry for power for his vested interests in a central government. Jefferson was a thinking man with integrity; Bush is not

[doubleaamazin]

It wasnt universal, in the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson reffered to the so called Native Amerikan Indians as "merciless indian savages" But barely any of you people know that cuz youve never read it.

They are all demons, always were

[remnantredeemed]

Isn't imposing democracy a contradiction in terms? Reagan didn't have to send bombs to blow down the Berlin Wall, the people of Berlin did it themselves.

*God Bless our Troops*

[jthomp3120]

yeah, he was too busy bombing central america
