Mr. Bush added that "a country that divides into factions and dwells on old grievances cannot move forward and risks sliding back into tyranny."

[liveoaktx]

1. Well, why doesn't he move to Old Soviet Russia then?

[shance]

2. However, supporting him risks sliding TOWARDS tyranny.

Enough of the threats by this Administration.

[ixion]

3. and a country that blindy follows Glorious Leader

is already in tyranny.

[jasmeel]

4. That guy's reasoning makes my head spin.

[BurtWorm]

5. The frightening thing is that it's not even HIS reasoning.

It's the official reasoners' reasoning.

[Maru Kitteh]

47. official reasoners reasoning

:rofl:

[1620rock]

12. ...yawn, more clap trap frpm fuckstick *. n/t

[Justice Is Comin]

6. Yeah and if the country was a

dictatorhip it would be easier, as long as he was the dictator. A quote from the toad fucker himself.

[bahrbearian]

21. Blowing up Frogs dosen't make Chimpy a Toad Fucker.

It makes him a Fucker of Frogs.

[chat_noir]

30. ...

[lpbk2713]

7. ..... back into tyranny???

Just where the hell are we now?

[Ksec]

8. I thought about that too

and we were in tyranny before the war?

[BurtWorm]

13. He's probably referring to those days of tyranny

when the people could count on their votes being counted and would elect Democrats to lead the Congress and Executive, when SC justices were independent of the Executive and Federal Society, when the press thought it was honorable to check the truth of what the government told the people. That tyranny.

[librechik]

9. we only risk "forcing him" to become a tryant, because we rebel

breathtaking reversal on the meaning of America.

[Hello_Kitty]

10. War is peace, 2 + 2 = 5, and freedom is slavery

Who's going to impose the tyranny on us, Georgie?

[Disturbed]

15. Amerika is rapidly moving towards being a

Corporatist Police State. The Neo Fascist Regime must be deposed.

[Delphinus]

11. How long ago was it that we were in tyranny?

Seriously, when was the last time this country was in tyranny?

I'm really lost with what he's trying to say or what point he's trying to get across. :shrug:

[StefanX]

14. "BACK" into tyrrany?

When was that? The eight years of prosperity under Clinton?

"BACK" into tyranny?

What the fuck is this retard talking about?

Oh, I forgot, it's the drug-addict-in-chief. The guy who insisted, at a meeting once, that SWEDEN (not Switzerland) is neutral. The guy who wondered "is our children learning" and said it's hard "putting food on your family".

Must be the old coke horrors talking, or the Halcyon or the Ambien or whatever psychotropic poison caused this guy's tardive dyskenisia and general discombobulation.

Put on the earmuffs and grab the chainsaw and go back to cutting brush, Georgie. It's so much easier than trying to speak English.

[Ksec]

16. Maybe george didnt know what tyranny meant

and just decided it sounded intelligent,so why not stick it in there.....

[catnhatnh]

17. If I recall our last foray through tyranny....

was Tailgunner Joe and a witch hunt for commies.It takes a bald face liar to take normal public discourse and to subvert it's purposes...My basic hope is that by telling the truth I may soon be indicted...

[Jacobin]

18. "Old Grievance?"

People are dying by the boatload as we speak and he's breaking the fucking budget.

Get over it Chimp. You screwed up BIG TIME and people are gonna say it.

[CJCRANE]

19. He always says the exact OPPOSITE of the truth

so he meant "sliding back into democracy".

[neuvocat]

20. Coming from him, that sounds like a threat.

Although its not like he could scare people anymore than they already have been by him.

[longship]

22. Projection!!

Why do these fascist rightwing assholes always project their bullshit on their political opponents?

Are we going to wait until the country descends into total tyranny before we take these assholes on?

I'm fucking fed up with this shit.

[fooj]

23. I've got news for Little Lord Pissypants...

HE IS NOT OUR KING!!!

peace.

[eShirl]

24. So now he's openly threatening the country?

nice (not)

[Lexingtonian]

25. It's okay.

He should remember what the Tree of Liberty needs the occasional watering with. It ain't going to wither anytime soon.

[Lorien]

26. Er, we're already experiencing tyranny; it started in 2001. n/t

[applegrove]

27. Who is doing all the wedging and tribalism? Projection!

[mcscajun]

28. Well that line was during his discussion of Iraq,

so presumably, those are the factions and old grievances under consideration.

We already Have our tyrant, to our great distress.

[Solomon]

46. That's what I was wondering. The quote sounds like he's really talking

about Iraq.

[lildreamer316]

29. Ouch.

Must. Stop. Brain. From. Hurting.

Sigh.At what point will reality intrude? (she asks for the TRILLIONTH time).
I swear I'm past even screaming.
Oh GHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDIIIIIIII......how long does it take for that process to work?

[Shine]

31. Newsflash: The man is an idiot.

So, what else is new?? :boring:

[Sydnie]

32. "He tried to kill my daddy"

guess he should have thought abuot that then, huh? Old grievances indeed.

[dogday]

33. Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

this is my signature line and this says it all.

[LSK]

34. im sure they are all united in their hatred of the Chimperor

[NightOwwl]

35. Gotta keep moving forward...

wouldn't want to actually see what's going on around us. Might be quite a shock to the system. Wouldn't be too beneficial to the chimp, either.

Get those blinders on people!

[Batgirl]

36. What does he mean by "old grievances"

Oh that's right, everything he's done to piss us all off for the past 5 years. We've only known about the illegal wiretapping for a few weeks, but I suppose that's also an old grievance. Positively ancient.

[BlueStateGirl]

37. What tyranny is he speaking of?

[Iris]

38. Yes. I'm wondering the same thing.

Is he suggesting we lived under tyranny when Clinton was president?

[BlueStateGirl]

39. Or ever in our History?

[Iris]

54. That's really what I was thinking.

I just through in the Clinton thing since it's about this admin's speed to suggest Clinton was a dictator.

[BurtWorm]

52. Maybe under his father?

Sick Oedipal motherfucker...

[Iris]

55. ha! ha! - I'll be that's what he really meant!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

40. Sorry, Herr Busch...you brought us the tyranny. What else you got?

[peekaloo]

41. Testy monkey. His handlers need to refresh the air in his bubble. nt

[linazelle]

42. When will the BS end?

Not anytime soon, I expect. But damn, I'm tired of it.

[Ksec]

43. When we get rid of the bullshitters.

Hopefully theyll go to the joint and be cellmates with "Bubba the Predator"

[AzDar]

44. How about providing our troops with the necessary armor to protect

themselves from IEDs, Georgie-Boy?? Instead he insists 'irresponsible'(wtf does that mean..anyone who dissents?)debate is putting their lives in danger. Jeebus wept. IMPEACH, IMPEACH IMPEACH!!!!!

[WinkyDink]

45. What does he mean, "back"? We never were a tyranny....

yeah, you know the rest.

[tlsmith1963]

48. He's Got It Backwards

Because supporting Bush means you support tyranny. How stupid do the neocons think we are, anyway?

Tammy

[Art_from_Ark]

59. They think we're as dumb as they are

Which means, they think we're pretty damn dumb

[Cleita]

49. We didn't have tyranny until he became President, so

how can we slide back into it.

[Glimmer of Hope]

50. He abuses his power to do whatever he wants.

Doesn't that make HIM a tyrant. Geez.

[Hotler]

51. George, go Cheney yourself. On second thought....

shut the hell up and get your ass in the kitchen and bake me a pie.

[FreedomAngel82]

53. Oh give me a break

I'm listening on Malloy now on him playing Bush's speech about how bad being a dictator is and I'm like "uh that's you!"

[ComerPerro]

56. Is he threatening us?

Is he saying that if people continue to question him, then he will become more of a tyrant to those who oppose him?

[HughBeaumont]

57. Republikkkan Rule Uber Alles!

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Is He Talking About Iraq or The U.S.?

If the latter, when were we in the grip of tyranny? You can't slide back into something you've never been in. You can only go there the first time if you haven't been there yet.

If he's talking about Iraq, then he has only himself to blame.
The Professor

[txindy]

60. He'd know about tyranny.

He wants to be a dictator. He's said how much easier it would be and we KNOW Junior takes the easy way out on everything. Besides Uncle Dick and Uncle KKKarl promised him he'd be one. That'll show Poppy who da man! :eyes:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

61. He sounds like the husband of a battered wife. "Forget the broken jaw.."

"That's all in the past. Look, I bought you some candy. Why do you keep bringing all that stuff up...it makes me mad."

And, just like too many battered spouses, a lot of Americans buy it.
