"Bush urges Americans to be proud of country"
Had to be a "liberal" who wrote this. No one has to urge Republicans.

"What KoolAid fails to note is that the Democrats propelled Humphrey in '64 as one of their standard-bearers. Meanwhile, the Republicans chose as their leader, Barry Goldwater, one of the Republican senators who stood shoulder to shoulder with the racist Strom Thurmond in opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act."
I believe Goldwater voted for similar Civil Rights Acts in 1957 and 1960. And that he had pushed for integration of our armed forces two years before Truman did so.
Goldwater is a little before my time but from what I have read the '64 act's Title VII ("equal employment opportunity") was the reason for his opposition. Goldwater believed, correctly and presciently, that if government "can forbid such discrimination, it is a real possibility that sometime in the future the same government can require people to discriminate in hiring on the basis of color or race or religion."
IOW - he saw clearly that gov't mandated "affirmative action" would come to pass.
I imagine he kept to himself what he knew Johnson's bogus, vote-buying 'War on Poverty' would do to black families and to our inner cities.

SInce it is probably the US and China who will again dominate in the medal count Bush is right. Wouldn't look cool for us to haul all that gold outta town without Dubya showin his grinning mug to the hundreds of millions of Chinese who have ditched European Marxism and aspire to enjoy the lifestyles South Koreans and Japanese have earned.

Yabits, you are inventing history. Look at the 1964 Civil Rights Act:
"In the Senate, Minority Leader Everett Dirksen had little trouble rounding up the votes of most Republicans, and former presidential candidate Richard Nixon also lobbied hard for the bill. Senate Majority Leader Michael Mansfield and Senator Hubert Humphrey led the Democrat drive for passage, while the chief opponents were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, of later Watergate fame, Albert Gore Sr., and Robert Byrd. Senator Byrd, a former Klansman whom Democrats still call "the conscience of the Senate", filibustered against the civil rights bill for fourteen straight hours before the final vote. The House of Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 126, a vote in which 79% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats voted yes. The Senate vote was 73 to 27, with 21 Democrats and only 6 Republicans voting no. President Johnson signed the new Civil Rights Act into law on July 2, 1964."

Pretty good get ups. But whoever is dressed up as whoever is Canada's PM doesn't have the obligatory maple leaf flag on his person.

More dispiriting news for the 'progressive' 'anti-war' crowd -
"From The Sunday Times July 6, 2008 Al-Qaeda is driven from Mosul bastion after bloody last stand The murder toll is dropping, the insurgents are on the run. "
[...]
' As for Mosul, the battle has been crucial to both sides and the Americans believe that it could have repercussions for Al-Qaeda beyond Iraq. “Al-Qaeda has its propaganda value from fighting the infidels and this is the central operating theatre for that battle,” said Brown. “If they are pushed out of Iraq that is a huge defeat for them.” '

"...not for belief in the campfire stories about what it was yesterday."
It is amazing how many of your posts end with very sly entreaties or commentary
designed to get the Americans you so often address here to doubt the essential validity of America and of its institutions or to join you in supercilious mockery of the country you claim to be from.

Great article.
' He said Saturday he did not misspeak in his comments earlier in the week and suggested the media and critics read unintended significance into the remarks.
“I was surprised by how finely calibrated every single word was measured,” Obama said. “I wasn’t saying anything that I hadn’t said before.” '
For some perspective just Google "Obama clarifies".
It's even better than "Annan deeply concerned".

"Vets for Freedom is spending $1.5 million on television ads that will begin running in July, praising the troop buildup, Pete Hegseth, the 25,000-member group’s chairman, said in a telephone interview Saturday."
Obama refused to meet thirteen Illinois veterans from this bipartisan group after they had traveled all the way to DC to meet their senator.
"If Barrack Obama won't listen to us, who will he listen to?"

"There are fewer than 200 days left in his term, and Bush’s dwindling presidency is a major factor hanging over the meetings involving leaders from Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada at a Group of Eight summit in Toyako."
Laugh at the MSM here. Except for England every country in this group is now under conservative leadership. Brown's days are numbered, and not in the same way Bush's are.

Obama said it couldn't be done.
"From The Sunday Times July 6, 2008 Iraqis lead final purge of Al-Qaeda Marie Colvin in Mosul American and Iraqi forces are driving Al-Qaeda in Iraq out of its last redoubt in the north of the country in the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror."

"Bush urging Americans to be proud of their nation is like Hitler urging Germans to be proud of the Third Reich."
Anyone can do the old "Bush is Hitler, America is Nazi Germany" bark at passing cars.
Let's have your Vichy analogy.
