Check out these quotes from Dubya's remarks at the UN's 60th Anniversary Bash (FYI, note the cut-and-paste error some Times "Fact-checker" made halfway down the page):
"After committing America to the idea of the U.N. in 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt declared, The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man or one party or one nation. Peace is the responsibility of every nation and every generation.
In each era of history, the human spirit has been challenged by the forces of darkness and chaos. Some challenges are the acts of nature. Others are the works of man.
This organization was convened to meet these challenges by harnessing the best instincts of humankind: the strength of the world united in common purpose.
With courage and conscience, we'll meet our responsibilities to protect the lives and rights of others. And when we do, we will help fulfill the promise of the United Nations and ensure that every human being enjoys the peace and the freedom and the dignity our creator intended for all."
There you have it, Jesus wants you to be a good little comrade and join the "new world order." The lunacy was systemic:
"We are committed to the Millennium Development goals. This is an ambitious agenda that includes cutting poverty and hunger in half, ensuring that every boy and girl in the world has access to primary education, and halting the spread of AIDS, all by 2015. We have a moral obligation to help others and a moral duty to make sure our actions are effective. In Monterrey in 2002, we agreed to a new vision for the way to fight poverty and curb corruption and provide aid in this new millennium. Developing countries agreed to take responsibility for their own economic progress through good governance and sound policies and the rule of law. Developed countries agreed to support those efforts, including increased aid to nations that undertake necessary reforms."
Imagine...a world where hunger and AIDS can be wished away with a signature or a speech before pompous, well-fed bureaucrats. And it rolls on:
"My own country has sought to implement the Monterrey consensus by establishing the new Millennium Challenge Account. This account is increasing U.S. aid for countries that govern justly, invest in their people and promote economic freedom."
My GOP soul, which intermittently channels the Gipper, wants to cheer and celebrate W's dig at the commies. Unfortunately, given this administration's cozy arrangement with China and the context of this remark, one if left to assume that Bush's "economic freedom" is a communist's/Democrat's "social justice." Makes one wonder.
The humdinger argument came, not from Bush's UN address, but from his address to "lay out a plan to rebuild New Orleans." Get a load of this:
It is now clear that a challenge on this scale requires greater federal authority and a broader role for the armed forces -- the institution of our government most capable of massive logistical operations on a moment's notice.
Oh, yeah. Your president said that. I wonder how much time we have before the finalization of the police state. At least we can all drop the charade that W is a conservative. He is a globalist socialist, as his words convey, and his aspirations are tainted with streaks of superstitious self-absorption and a desire for a police state. All this, coming to a nation near you.
