OK, time to guess the source of this fine quote:
Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared. In a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife. And dissent is not revolution. A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country.
Think, think, think…
Nope, not one of those radical pinko wackos that we’re all so worried about…
It’s … <drum roll> … Our President! That’s right, Our Fearless Leader uttered these fine words at Tsinghua University in Beijing in February of 2002. (Read the full text on WhiteHouse.gov.)
Wow.
A cynic could take this as further evidence that GWB is in fact a robot, but I’m not going there.
My current task in life is to acquire a shirt emblazoned with these excellent sentiments. Luckily American Apology will cater to that whim nicely (and it is through them that we discovered the quote). SorryEverybody also has some cool shirts that I covet. With a little luck I can get thrown out of an event by Our Fearless Leader’s thugs minions associates, who also presumably don’t understand the import of these words.
I’m also going to change my university home page to feature that quote instead of the info on John Peel’s passing. John was amazing and great and dearly missed, but it’s been five months and the time has come for something new.
