God's chosen son speaks: "free people never choose their own enslavement"
http://www.dubyaspeak.com/freshdubya.shtml

1). As election day approaches, we can expect further violence from the terrorists. You see, the terrorists understand what is at stake. They know they have no future in a free Iraq, because free people never choose their own enslavement.
-- Dubya offers a grand, meaningless generalization to the assembled troops, Camp Pendleton, California, Dec. 7, 2004

2). In the war on terror, you have fought enemies' freedom -- freedom's enemies from the caves and mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts and cities of Iraq.
-- I know he corrected himself, but it's still funny, Camp Pendleton, California, Dec. 7, 2004

3). DUBYA: There's a lot of work to be done. We've made a lot of progress in protecting our country, and there's more work to be done. And this administration is committed to doing it.
REPORTER: Mr. President --
DUBYA: Do you want to call on somebody?
PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF: I know that -- I know that you're trying your best to address the issue of terrorism all over the world, and obviously, the most important part is to protect your own, the United States from terrorism.
DUBYA: Actually, I wasn't asking you necessarily to answer the question; I was asking you to call on somebody from the Pakistani press. I'm sorry. You don't have to answer every question they ask me. I would advise you not answering those questions.
-- Dubya ceding control and then seizing control right back again in a matter of seconds. In case you're keeping score at home, the only words President Musharraf got to utter after this exchange were a three-word rejoinder and "Thank you very much", White House, Dec. 4, 2004

4). I don't view relations as one that there's a score card that says, you know, well, if we all fight terror together, therefore, somebody owes somebody something.
-- Dubya's incoherent response to a question about the perceived inequity of Pakistani-American relations, White House, Dec. 4, 2004

1. free people never choose their own enslavement...the irony.
Oh yeah? Talk to the average Bush voter.

I'm reminded of Easy Rider...the quote goes something like..

"it's not you they are afraid of, it's your freedom.... They'll talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.....I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace...."
