Lines that stood out to me...Originally Posted by Ophie
All I feel like doing after reading this is rolling my eyes.
"ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world."
As ER said, resign.
"Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our nation."
Then let's keep them in our nation, and not force them on other nations.
"Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way," he said.
Everyone has a voice... it is their responsibility to use it. It is not our duty to speak for them.
"Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies."
Freedom's Enemies...Hmmm... that's really nailing it down as to who our enemy is.
"Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth," he said. "And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time."
First... who is "Unwanted"? You mean like the Jews? Hmmm... we have to abandon racism... Then do away with Affirmative Action, Racial Profiling, etc...
This speech was basically to tell us that things are not going to change at all....
