 | Bush's Inaguaration Transcript http://www.grassfire.org/16026/Inauguration_speech.htm Vice President Cheney, Mr. Chief Justice, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, reverend clergy, distinguished guests, fellow citizens: On this day, prescribed by law and marked by ceremony, we celebrate the durable wisdom of our Constitution, and recall the deep commitments that unite our country. I am grateful for the honor of this hour, mindful of the consequential times in which we live, and determined to fulfill the oath that I have sworn and you have witnessed. At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I use, but by the history we have seen together. For a half century, America defended our own freedom by standing watch on distant borders. After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical - and then there came a day of fire. We have seen our vulnerability - and we have seen its deepest source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny - prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder - violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom. We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world. etc... etc..... the rest is in the link.

What sux about speeches is the fact that he or any other politicians (for the most part) don't write their own speeches. That to me is retarded.

I found the speech to be rather frightening. Although the idea of "spreading freedom" sounds great, it doesn't always work out too well, especially when our military gets involved. And given Bush's track record, when I hear him say we are going to "spread freedom," I have to assume it means that more than a few people are going to get their houses blown the hell up. This speech was definitely a declaration, though - that Bush is a true neo-conservative for the ages.
