"Another good speech."

The quotation marks above are facitious, as one would gester with one's fingers in an expression of skepticism, but it regards my comment.

THE SPEECH I refer to, has also been referenced here is from September 20th, 2001.

At the time I had "cherry-picked" what I chose to run on:

We are in a fight for our principles, and our first responsibility is to live by them.


But recently, portions of his speech have been rerun:

Freedom and fear are at war.


But this is more than just conflicting apples and oranges. Pitting freedom and fear against each other is like comparing elephants and peanuts.

"Freedom and fear are at war". This quote is from 9-20-01 but seems to have been rerun somewhere just recently.

Is my last line really a metaphor or almost raised to an analogy?
