"We're a great nation. We're a nation of resolve. We're a nation that can't be cowed by evildoers. I've never had more faith in America than I have right now." -- George W. Bush September 16, 2001 Vist BushCountry.org today! http://www.bushcountry.org ======================================================================== Bush Update Weekly Radio Address THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. We have entered a busy season here in Washington. Soon, Congress will be back in session. I will go to the Capitol to report on the state of our union and I will present a budget that sets the priorities of our government for fiscal year 2003. Our highest priorities are clear to all. We must give our military every tool and weapon it needs to prevail in the war against terror. We must strengthen our country's defenses against further attack, with a comprehensive program of homeland security. And we must get our country's economy growing and creating jobs once again.

Much depends on the kind of contribution average American citizens make to this effort. How can we help protect American liberty, and strengthen it in the process? Some history will help answer this question. After the Second World War, the governing concept of American military policy shifted from mobilization to readiness, on the assumption that we had to be ready for conflict, on a relatively large scale, at all times. The shift was reasonable, made necessary by the persistent military challenge from the Soviet Union and the need to protect friends and interests around the globe.

By Carol Devine-Molin Unfortunately, it appears that we are inexorably moving toward a National Identification Card system, an Orwellian nightmare that would permit easy tracking and surveillance of individuals on a level once considered unimaginable. It's not happening in a blatant power grab by government, but in small, incremental steps that nonetheless will have the same deleterious outcome. Our society is "slipping and sliding" toward "Big Brother" snoopery with plans for embedding crucial identification data into microchips on our drivers' licenses. And, clearly, widespread encroachment upon our privacy is being significantly abetted by advancing technologies. Understandably, civil libertarians are sounding the clarion call to alert the general public to the inherent dangers of a centralized identification system.

But before you speculate that this pacifist author is against the second amendment, consider the nature of the real issue. Guns are simply an instrument of function. The principle that is part of our heritage, is the inalienable ability for self defense. This natural right, does not exist because government has passed a law or grants some privilege. Protecting your own life and safety is intrinsic to your very existence. So why do so many people confuse gun ownership with self protection, when the former is only a means, while the later is an immutable right?

(The media's labeling of them as "fundamentalists" is quite ironic, because fundamentalism is adhering to the core of one's belief system, which would be an indictment of the Islam of the Qur'an as advocating terrorism.) America will never be destroyed from without, whether a few planes are taken down or not. The recent airport fiascos are a testimony to our hysteria rather than to the common sense alternative of arming the pilot and first officer with guns, and the flight attendants with stun guns. While all the airport boondoggles are wasting time and enormous amounts of money, the Islamic radicals could be out purchasing surface-to-air missiles to bring down any flight they wish to target, as some believe TWA Flight 800 was brought down.
