doesn't mean we have to support governments that get elected as a result of democracy," Bush said (of Hamas).

Hmmm. I feel the same way.. about **'s junta. (Not that it was democratically elected.)

2. Oh, that's the same kind of thinking that allows them to support
Christianity, but that doesn't mean they have to obey all of the commandments.

4. Does that mean...
democracies in democratically elected countries have NO say about what their country wants to project to the world?

We're 'spreading democracy worldwide' but if those democracies don't agree with * and Co, they are on our Shit List?

5. Clearly, he does not listen to what he's saying.
Or, he lacks a sense of irony or a sense of logic.

I hope we will some day be able to use these not very profound word against this moron.

7. Here on the DU we make one fatal mistake when we talk
about *ss and democracy. To him democracy means capitalism and nothing else. He does not know that democracy is the form of a government and that capitalism is a form of economics. South and Central America are moving toward humane forms of civil governments and away from rule by the rich. It is a total threat to the *ss and his rich cronies. An economic threat.

8. every word the man utters is a mirror
on his own actions. It's some sick form of projection.
