“ Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity. ”
I never trust the words from anyone when they use the word "God" in a sentence, especially not when they are as arrogant as to insinuate that "Liberty" is even a gift, let alone an American gift - Liberty like many other things is a basic right that a great deal of people do not have, or even understand its true meaning because they have never seen it for themselves.
I would bet my life that they are a lot more intelligent than you are.

You must be suicidal to think that Bush jnr is at all clever, let alone any cleverer than me, he must have an IQ in the realm of an 7-12 year old AKA a MORON.
