And, of course, C-SPAN is covering it like a big news event.I took the time to watch some of the coverage. I expected to find protestors marching for one cause and one cause only to get George W Bush out of the White House.What did I find instead? What I found was a mixture of people protesting topics from around the globe.
According to the “United for Peace website” (organization responsible for August 29, 2004 protests in New York City) their organization will “hold an impassioned, peaceful, and legal march past Madison Square Garden, the site of the Republican Convention. When the Republicans descend on New York City with their agenda of war, greed, hate and lies, they will be met by a massive, diverse, peaceful outpouring of dissent, as huge numbers of us join together in a spirit of nonviolence for a legal, permitted march on August 29 to say NO to their destructive and divisive policies.”What I want to do in this week’s column is examine this organizations claim that President Bush’s policies are based on War, Greed, hate and lies.Let’s begin with the claim that President Bush’s policies are solely based on “war.” Remember President Bush went to war with Afghanistan after Islamic terrorists attacked our country on September 11, 2001.At which time he said, “The global war on terror will be unlike any other war in our country’s history.” Some fronts of the global war on terror will be visible to the public and some won’t be.In response to the Iraq war President Bush challenged the global community through the United Nations to make Saddam Hussein disarm.
The United Nations responded with resolution number 1441. Resolution 1441 clearly stated Saddam must disarm or face serious consequences.
George Bush gave Saddam six months to cooperate. Saddam chose not to.
Therefore, after twelve years and dozens of resolutions Saddam faced the consequences. However, contrary to the popular myth that Saddam and Osama Bin Laden’s terrorist network were not related, they were.
On November 24, 2003, the Weekly Standard reported that “OSAMA BIN LADEN and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training in explosives and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist attacks, al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi financial support for al Qaeda-- perhaps even for Mohamed Atta--according to a top secret U.S. government memorandum.”On the issue of greed I believe the way many libertarians do.
Nobody knows how much I desire to make my life complete. Furthermore the notion that somebody else should decide this for me is pure socialism, or is that what these protestors really desire?Finally there is the issue of hate and lies.
Hate. I think not.
President Bush has done more in four years to help find a cure for aids and provide humanitarian aid to Africa than any president since the AIDS epidemic begun.Additionally President Bush is the only President to appoint to African Americans to his cabinet in the history of the United States. Now to address the lies issue.
Liberals and the liberal media have played this card since 9/11/01. First there was Howard Dean advancing the theory that George Bush knew about September 11, 2001.You have Ted Kennedy saying President Bush came up with the Iraq war in Texas for political gain.
Remember when the media had a frenzy with the sixteen words in President Bush’s state of the union speech. I believe this line sums it up “You can only tell a lie if you know the information you possess is not true.”These protestors are promoting a liberal agenda that is based on lies.
As the title of my article says Anybody but Bush is what liberals seek. Liberals would rather risk the national security of our country to regain power, than to unite with the president to protect our freedoms.
