Bush's "Great Causes" Speech

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Here we have continued operation within our government of a welfare state, with affirmative action and lots of people calling for taxation and laws that favor their pressure group. On the Blog we had a recent article by Mr Veksler on this subject Could racist hiring policies be America's undoing? Having seen firsthand how racist policies undermind our military, I have my own concerns that such policies may lead to deaths.

So the President gets up on MLK Day and says "Great causes require Great Sacrifices", meaning everything and nothing. His words have just enough vaguary to justify a dictatorship, if you want to read that into it. His words could also be an insult to a minority with an ounce of self-esteem, because it signifies that minorities require sacrifices to help them succeed. That doesn't sound like equal opportunity. Bush is talking guaranteed success for racial minorities, at a heavy cost to us all.

How come Bush is capable of making "eloquent" speeches when he really should keep his mouth shut, but has nothing to say but childish phrases when Donald Rumsfeld is under attack by the media?
