Now comes the onslaught: A sampling of some truly outrageous tactics and statements. First, this one: 

1) “The American President must be clear in his thinking and must be clear in his speaking in order to effectively lead.” (hahahahahahaha) Right after this, I believe he mispronounced both the word “bio-deisel” and the name of the Japanese Prime Minister.

2)    “I will never turn over America’s national security decisions to other countries.” Trust me. No other countries want anything to do with us any more, and most certainly they don’t want to be fighting our unnecessary wars. They have problems of their own, and the cost of ours has shown them that this is NOT the way.

3)    “Liberty can transform an enemy into an ally.” This is a Harry Truman quote. Some nerve. There is no real proof that liberty, alone, has made any country I am aware of our “ally.” France has liberty. They used to be our ally. I think the past tense is perhaps the important thing here. Insert your own support for this quote…if you can.

4)    “I want a chance for our children and grandchildren to grow up in a more peaceful world.” (Certainly why he bombed Iraq back to the Stone Age and is purportedly amassing troops now to move on Iran.) George W. Bush is many things. A pResident on the side of peace he is not. I just want a chance for my 17-year-old to grow up AT ALL, since we may have to re-institute the draft once “W” really gets rolling on his “Save the World Crusade.”

5)    “Freedom is powerful.” So is money. So is oil. So is the stench of bull—t.

6)    “I want to spread freedom to the world, not because it is America’s gift to the world, but because freedom is the Almighty God’s gift to the world.” Careful, George. Some people call him Allah. Some people don’t call him at all. Some people would like you to just NOT spread anything you touch in their direction, at this point, because it is all turning to (rhymes with twit).

7)    “We will continue to lead the world to make it free and more peaceful.” OK. I can’t help myself. One more “R-iiiiiiiight!”
