Answer 1

Only if you say something that would be considered life threatening! That doesn't mean they don't watch these sites, and Bush is the worst 1st Amendment Rights's violators that there are!

Many people have been arrested while wearing nothing but a T shirt that is anti Bush, or war, at a public speech. The government is currently being sued by those arrested as it clearly unconstitutional to arrest them!

Like Bush says about the Constitution: "It's only a piece of paper."

I don't see how anyone would have voted for bush except neocons and anti-abortion groups!

Answer 2

To put is simply the news. They are most of what is wrong with our country. They have more power then any lobby group. Also they get more power because everone can vote so you have some really dumb people voting that want things that just can’t be. Yet the news tells them they should be.

Look at Katrina. The news said the government should have done more but not once did you hear a realistic way for them to have done more or done it better. I mean the head of FEMA lost his job even though he really did nothing wrong. They gave the city 3 days notice. Free busses were running out of the city. They had close to like a thousand National Guard there before it hit and like 15 thousand more national guard there within a few days after it hit. Yet the news said they should have gotten there faster. The news said there was no excuse for them not getting supplies in for like a day or 2. They don’t have to mention that choppers could not fly without crashing due to weather till then.

Everyone who died in Katrina it was their own fault but everyone blames the president. The free busses where not full. Every time they showed people on a roof they also had a car in the drive. But it was his fault people refused to listen to the mandatory evacuation order and stayed. They issued a mandatory order so being in the city when the storm struck was in violation of the law. They provided free transit out of the city for people without cars or the poor, but the fact that people chose to stay and died was all his fault. None of it was even the mayor’s fault. I always thought a city evacuation play was the job of the city government. I guess I was wrong.

The news has to find ways to make everything into a scandal. They bend the truth as much as they can without acutely lying to get ratings. They also put a bad spin on everything and give more opinions then facts.

Watch the news count the stories were they give you the facts and the ones where they give you an opinion. You will find less then 1 in 10 with just the facts.

He also gets blamed for things that are not really his fault, one great example Iraq. He did not use executive power to go into Iraq congress voted and they made the decision not bush. The same congressmen who voted to go to war are the loudest ones saying it was wrong and the president did a bad job. You can't blame congress that is too big of a concept for most people. You need one man so it is the president’s fault.

He also got screwed with timing. I mean the war on terrorism is like the war on drugs. There is no way to win or even really measure progress. Sure you can kill some terrorists or get busts with a bunch of coke but does it bring you any closer to winning, nope because neither can be won. That is why everyone has forgotten the war on drugs. He happens to be in office during the time when people are starting to realize this.

After Sept 11 we had to go to war with someone so we attacked Afghanistan to take care of America’s bloodlust at the time. Then they could not back down without being cowards so the government got pushed into Iraq. The bad part is the blood lust wore off when people remembered that our side dies too in war. Now the same people who were loudest about attacking are the loudest ones saying we should never have done it. We are there he has to deal with it and does not get the luxury of blaming someone else.

Answer 3

Freedom of speech under Bush? You're kidding, right?

On Yahoo's front page there was a news article today about 2 teachers arrested for showing up at a park he visited, 1 wearing a Kerry for prez button, another carried a small sign. They, among many others are suing the Secret Service and police for violating First Amendment rights.
This prez has changed the Constitution to suit himself in all aspects, giving himself power the same as a dictator, literally bankrupt our country with this war he created, gives aide to foreign countries while denying aide to our own (think Katrina),
is in tight with the oil companies which regulates our fuel costs... oh, btw, before he was prez he was ceo of some company in Texas and mismanaged their funds, causing them to go bankrupt, got busted for DUI and is or was a coke head, not to mention being a blood thirsty warmonger at the expense of our nation and young people's lives. Hello! Then this crazy scheme of illegal immigration which will further raise the price of food... probably never met a Latino or desperate person in his life...
It sure must be something to live a sheltered life, have everything handed to you (he nearly failed college but didn't because of family), never step a foot outside the country so can't relate to other cultures, heck, can't relate to most diverse cultures here! And then entrusted to rule a nation. What a joke!!!

Yea, he's a great president. Proud of him, yup, yup.

Answer 4

I don't think it's against the law to do that -- at least not while there are enough people in this country to provide a good balance of opinion. That's why we have freedom in the first place. If Edna keeps reporting everybody for simply disagreeing with her, we could probably report her for harassment. Then again, Yahoo! might not be listening to people who report others for dumb crap like that when they already have to deal with predators, spammers and scam artists. When I report someone, it's usually for things like offensive content, inciting violence or hatred, or soliciting minors. But then, I have a life.

Answer 5

BUSH is a legend in his own mind(nothing more). i recently read an article that from 2000 to 2006 our country has borrowed 1.2 trillion from foreign govs. in contrast from 1789 to 2000 we only borrowed 1.1 trillion from foreign govs. so in 6 years the bush regime has done more to sell our country out than the previous 211 years. what does this tell you about the mans priorities and objectives??? furthermore recently Mr. bush was meeting with Russian president PUTIN. Mr Putin like most foreign govs have very little confidence or respect for our beloved president(being facetious) history will show just how much of buffoon he really is. the current middle east crisis is a clear indication that mr. bush is not a world leader, only a puppet to the persons that are really pulling the strings and reaping all of the spoils!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Bush has won extra criticism than the different president in historic past. He additionally has been extra attainable than the different president. With the internet and each and all the cable information channels the guy won't be in a position of take a drink of water with out the finished u . s . understanding what temperature the water is. George W. Bush ought to be remembered for conserving this u . s . shield after 9/11. very few presidents in the previous have had to bypass with the aid of what Bush has. average i think of historic past would be variety to Bush.

Answer 7

Well you do have people all over world using this , they may not have the freedom of speech like we do in the USA .But if you are in the USA I would think as long as you stated in my opinion or I think before what you say would pretty much cover anything ? You do have the right to our own thoughts?

Oh who is Edna I have seen many complain about her? Please email me or Pm me with who she is?

Answer 8

Because by and large, the people that like Bush and his administration aren't screwing around on yahoo answers. They are off making money and ruling the world. And don't flatter yourself that your opinion is so important that someone is gonna come get you for what you said..

Answer 9

hes not a great president. its not against the law to say that he is a worthless piece of ****. it is a problem if you make a threat. what we need to do is take a long look at our constitution, why this country has turned into a police state

Answer 10

No, you can say anything you want about President Bush, other than a physical threat against him. That said, I do like him. He is principled. You may not like his principles, but he is true to his principles.
