Why is one patriotic and the other unpatriotic?

Question

Why is it when conservatives use to bash Clinton it was ok and patriotic, BUT when Liberals bash Bush its unpatriotic? Kinda hipicritical dont you think?

Answer 1

Of course it is and America knows it. Clinton was our best President of this decade and that's just part of the Republican strategy they have been using for 14 years now..Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh all these people say it's OK, but consider the sources...America knows what Bush has done compared to Bill Clinton's Administration. You just can't cover up good...

Answer 2

We did not lose the war in Vietnam because of protestors. READ YOUR HISTORY. And I don't have to leave this country if I happen to disagree with this president or his administration. Nor do I have to agree with his interpretation of who is and who isn't a terrorist simply because he supports one over the other when both are behaving equally atrocious. Being led blindly is the most unpatriotic thing anyone can do (which is not to say that people who like Bush are blind). I have total respect though I may disagree with someone that likes Bush as long as he can present an articulate argument for their position but I have no tolerance for someone who sounds like a tape recorder from his most recent speech or conversation with the press. Think people. Read your history about what has and hasn't worked throughout the centuries. If you can find me one war, one conflict that was truly resolved because one country, group, whatever had the power to oppress another I'll eat my words but peace that is forced is not peace. It may temporarily silence a rebellion but the embers will still burn until the time presents itself to rear its ugly head. We stupidly assume that what is happening today between Isreal and Lebanon, or even in Iraq is because of the most recent tensions but listen to what THEY are saying - the contempt they feel for each other is centuries old and we think the US (which is still in its historical infancy) is going to resolve all this. Not only is that arrogant - its simply stupid.

Answer 3

I don't think it is unpatriotic to bash the president either way. Nor should you be surprised if people who like that particular President defend him, or even get mad. What is unpatriotic is bashing the soldiers that fight for us, or rooting for the terrorist's, or stating that your country sucks just because you dislike the present administration. If you don't like the Administration, that's your right to say so and why. If you hate our country get out and go where you do like it.

Answer 4

Yup. And Clinton attacked Bin Laden only to distract the American public from his domestic problems. Bush attacked Bin Laden because it was the right thing to do and talking about domestic problems demonstrates a lack of unity with the Commander-in-Chief.

Answer 5

It is hypocritical. But Bush has a better spin machine than Clinton.

Answer 6

heeeyyy, you're right ....everyone should be equally "bash"able.

Let’s take this Protest … to the streets. yyeeaaahhhhh, BASH BUSH, BASH CLINTON, BASH BUSH, BASH CLINTON


(oh,uh..that's for Hillary in 2008)

Answer 7

because clinton was not fighting the people that want to kill us but Bush is and your view allows the enemy to win because the libs bit-h so much that maybe we would pull out and then they will win like what happened in Vietnam

Answer 8

“a flesh presser will do something to maintain his interest - even become a patriot” ~ William Randolph "Patriot" is an empty observe meaning regardless of the speaker needs it to point. every time somebody makes use of the observe, you may desire to start thinking approximately what they are attempting to control you into doing.

Answer 9

Clinton likes bush. So why can't we all get along?

Answer 10

its just one of those power play things, neither party wants the other to be 'better' than them so they bash each other
