Carlos at Jesus Politics points to this article in the NYT, and asks:
“Freedom or Hypocrisy?”. Uh, B.

This eleoquent and profound anaalysis of Bush’s “concept of freedom” from Orlando Miller in the NYT, also falls prey to what amounts to me as a false civility; for the sake of civility at the expense of what I consider to be the bald-faced truth: Bush’s political speechifying is all rhetoric; patriotic piety. This stands out in the last line of the following quote where the writer says: “The president speaks eloquently and no doubt sincerely of freedom both abroad and at home”. I’m not sure “eloquently” is the right word either. It doesn’t seem an appropriate term to use in any discussion about Bush’s speaking skills, and the “no doubt sincerely” is , even as this article puts forth, in grave doubt based on actions of the Bush administration that belie even the most basic understandings of those concepts.
