Nikita > Wonder what is liberal point of view? I can't tell you. Strange how in US politics everyone has to be squeezed into two boxes, (liberal, conservative) whether they fit or they don't. As for me, I'm a Democrat like Vladimir Zhirinovsky encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com

Re: Wonder what is liberal point of view? The Angry Liberal view is that Sleazza Rice is a lying two-buck whore who would be a prime candidate for the Minister of Propaganda in Orwell's dystopian "1984". Her ability with doublethink, disingenuousness and deviousness is the dishevelment of democracy. She's an autocratic monster who is all tarted up to lie with every breath. What astonishes me is the absolutely appalling cow-like reaction of the American herd. There should have been 10,000 protestors and 40 in the audience at Vanderbilt if we lived in a decent country. The willingness of the American public to acquiesce to being constantly manipulated and lied to is going to be the downfall of this nation as it is stolen by the conniving, cunning and clever criminals that are part of the Bush Crime Cabal. Ms. Rice's will be a black name forever in the real history of America's decline and fall.

Nikita, it seems you left Russia and found yourself back in the USSR --- in the US. themoscowtimes.com >>Bush Has Put the U.S. 'Back In the U.S.S.R.' Freedom is the buzzword in American newspeak. In Orwell's novel "1984," newspeak is a language that contains only words needed to express approved ideas. It has been calculated that in five speeches on Iraq last year, President George W. Bush used the words "liberty," "free" and "freedom" 131 times. In addition to freedom fries we have Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. The building that will replace the World Trade Center will be called -- what else -- Freedom Tower. This unhealthy obsession with freedom is reminiscent of the old Eastern Bloc, where words such as "People's" and "Democracy" were liberally sprinkled in the names of member countries such as the People's Republic of Bulgaria. This trend lives today in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. As civil liberties are increasingly curtailed in the wake of 9/11, "freedom" may soon ring almost as hollow in the United States as it did in the Soviet-era people's democracies.<<
