The Inaugural Speech
Hugh Hewitt pulls out a great quote from today's speech:
"From the perspective of a single day, including this day of dedication, the issues and questions before our country are many. From the viewpoint of centuries, the questions that come to us are narrowed and few. Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring credit to that cause?"
I was excited to launch this blog on the day of President Bush's second inauguration. The name of this blog and the heart of the speech are both Sharansky's book.
Did our character give credit to the cause? The transformative effects of freedom and democracy is at the heart of this blog and the second Bush term.
