Whispering Death said:03USMC that was exactly what I was trying to say. You know what? Americans are quite tired of you outsiders attacking OUR president. Especially since this is a Texan who is running OUR country like any good Texan would.
Now I was asking why do they do it? I think it is because they are jellous that we Americans actually have a good strong leader and a good strong country. I think it's jellous petty people from weak nations trying to snipe at the strong nation. If they arn't willing to create a strong nation than they are going to try and bring anyone else down to their level.

Redneck said:Cool it.
what values, what morals....more importantly WHOSE morals and values.
I'm assuming you fellows want everyone to go along with your own values here, correct? It is sad that this is even a question today, and that morals and a strong sense of values are things to be mocked. Where I come from these virtues generate respect, and rightly so in my opinion, for the life of me I cannot understand why they seem to be so threatening to some of you. Personally I am very proud and grateful that moral values can still be a deciding factor in my country.

chewie_nz said:i would think that morals and values would be a personal thing. when the govt legislates it you start to have problems.
not everyone in the US has the same belief structure as Bush.
mainly i am talking about sex Ed in schools, abortions & same sex unions here.

I thought Bush's speech was a load of rubbish but then maybe I haven't got those special "values"! :lol:
I personally doubt you listened to the speach - maybe you saw a soundbite on the news.
What time was it on where you are?
What Bush spoke about was ending tyranny in the world as a goal
Maybe this isn't a value of yours
How practical it is is another matter of course, but as a general statement of values I would be surprised to find many people opposed to such a sentiment - or perhaps not - since there are enough people who simply hate President Bush with such a passion it really doesn't matter what he says or does
Tell me though - what do you think of President Kennedy's innuagural speach - you know "pay any price, bear any burdon, support any friend, oppose any foe"
Do you think that was a good speach - does that speak to your values?
