If you criticize the President are you a liberal?

Answer 1

seems to be what the majority of conservatives think...

Answer 2

If you criticize just to criticize most likely. If on the other hand, you offer thought out solutions you are very creative & should speak up. There is limited posibilities the people in power will listen. The one caveat is if you are highly cridencialed, then you can be an idiot & get prased & receive press coverage.

Speaking from experience I've offered both sides of the aisle a solution to change the economics of Renewable Energy. The replies were either nonexistant, self-serving pats on the back for doing exactly what I wrote was inadequate & would only guarenty that our energy cost would increase. Fienstein is a good example of the last.

Answer 3

Speaking as a conservative who is outspoken in his criticism no you are not a liberal. I think if you look at the House of Represenatives who are outspoke in the criticism of the President on illegal immigration Im sure they wouldnt consider themselves liberals. Even Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter who no one would call liberal would disagree with the president of illegal immigration amnesty bill. Would that not make them liberal now for the criticism. This conservative will dare to say it Bill Clinton was a better president than George W Bush. Guess Im a liberal now.

Answer 4

No. Enough with the stereotyping! Seriously.

Just because I don't agree with a lot (basically everything) that Bush says/does, does not make me a liberal. It's impossible to be 100% conservative or 100% liberal, which is why we're supposedly be able to have our own opinions. But it's also hard whenever the country is trying to brainwash us.

Anyways! No, when you criticize the President, that's just you having your own opinion, which you're allowed to have.

Answer 5

Consider this. Back in high school, I took a class called Simulations in History. As part of an election simulation we all took a test to determine where we really fell in relation to Republican and Democratic ideals. 90% of the class fell within 2-points of a 12-point center.

Are we all really that different?

However, back to the point. Because I'm from Kansas and frequently voice my opposition to Bush, I'm afraid the Reds would classify me as a liberal. Too bad. Officially on my registration I'm listed as to never declaring a party.

If only the vast majority of people in this country took that same test, they'd come to the conclusion that too often we assimilate with the parties of our parents -- or -- the opposing party if we argued with them a lot at the dinner table.

I'm finding it more interesting that it's now the Republicans who don't want to be labeled as a religious conservative who seem to have the most problem with Bush....

Answer 6

I believe that when you call America the "enemy",
you are a traitor. I am quite tired of liberals calling
Bush a liar and worse names. We could all be
better citizens by stopping the name calling. Be
positive and come up with better ideas, better
programs, and better candidates to run this Country.
I never even let my own children call others a liar
and those other names I've heard liberals use. Let's
all be civil.

Answer 7

Nope. In fact, more and more conservatives are coming out against Bush because of Iraq, the budget defincit, the expansion of government, and the increasing intrusion of government into the private lives of Americans. He's even losing support among social conservatives because he has not pushed their agenda as hard as they believe he should have after the 2004 elections.

Answer 8

No, I criticize him like I would anyone in a position that does something that I believe is a wrong decision, Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever party affiliation. I guess I am an EOC, equal opportunity criticizer

Answer 9

No - not necessarily. Not everything the president does is approved by the non-liberals. I don't, for example, agree with his proposal for revamping our immigration laws.

There are many liberal who hate Bush - no matter what he says or does. They are pre-disposed to dislike anything anything and everything - He can;t do anything right.

Answer 10

No, but you are a patriot in the form of the Founding Fathers. NEOCONAZI's hate the fact the founders of the US were not conservative, but in their time, screaming liberals and patriots. Conservatives do what they are told and don't challenge prevailing authority by doing something radical like, making revolution. The Tories were the conservatives of their time and like their philosophical descendants today, supporters of tyranny, unquestioning followers of authority and class climbing exploiters of the powerless.

Answer 11

No if you criticize the President based on your own values and knowledge of what your complaint is you are participating in democracy. We all should be critical who those who are elected to serve us no matter what party we belong to.
