Did George W. feel the same sentiments George Washington and his soldiers felt when they were accused by the unconvinced populace that a Revolution was madness? We have been led to believe that all the colonies recognized the merits of separation from Britain when, in fact, most of the people back then couldn’t even comprehend the philosophy of democracy.
What did the Founding Fathers feel when they were subjected to the deepest ignominies and the most profound skepticism for declaring independence? They included the First Amendment in the Constitution, among them, the right to the freedom of speech and expression.
Dissing George W. is your right. Just make sure you tell your kids and grandkids that he made certain it was protected.
We know for a fact that Bush, Cheney, et al could not have thought about starting a war on terror by themselves. We can read between the political lines and understand that some of the most brilliant minds in American history toiled behind desks, with no faces, races, recognition and identities, and planned one of the greatest feats of the American nation; a concerted effort of human ingenuity and philosophy to defend the interests of the United States of America and all those who stand behind us.
