Guest Article I like Ike By John Kaminski 21st January 2003 I remember making a sign that said that when I was in grade school, and when you read this speech, you'll know why (although of course I didn't know all this at the time). Dwight Eisenhower is probably the ranking Republican icon of the 20th century and this 1953 "Chance for Peace" shows America at a time when integrity was more than just an empty buzzword. Here's an excerpt: "The way chosen by the United States was plainly marked by a few clear precepts, which govern its conduct in world affairs. "First: No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice. "Second: No nation's security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow-nations. "Third: Any nation's right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing is inalienable. "Fourth: Any nation's attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible. "And fifth: A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations." Better yet, read the whole thing: http://www.eisenhower.utexas.edu/chance.htm From this you will clearly see that Bush is not only NOT a Republican or a conservative or even an honest American. From this you will see thatBush needs to be indicted for treason immediately, before he destroys our country and the world. And for those who can't open the attachment, here's the nub of it, inIke's own words, in 1953 aimed at the Soviet Union but in today's situation, aimed squarely at what's left of the United States: "There is, before all peoples, a precious chance to turn the black tide of events. If we failed to strive to seize this chance, the judgment of future ages would be harsh and just. "If we strive but fail and the world remains armed against itself, it at least need be divided no longer in its clear knowledge of who has condemned humankind to this fate." From this speech you can see how far we have fallen both as a nation and as honest human beings. |
