Why the overwhelming hatred for G.W. Bush?

Question

A lot of the questions on this forum are absolutely rediculous. They come from people who try and compare Bush to Hitler or BinLaden. What the hell ails these people? It's one thing to disagree with policy, but if they really believe that Bush and America is that perverted, why don't they move to another country? Everything is a conspirecy - Bush is a lier and a murderer - and on and on. How can they live in a country they believe is so dispicable? And, most importantly, if the war on terror is so misguided and screwed up, WHERE ARE THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS rather than just their bitchin' and moanin' ?????? I'd like some thoughtful replies and not more ignorant and hateful stupidity.

Answer 1

Thank you so much.
It has been disturbing to me as well that there is such mass ignorance, or perhaps it is immaturity. I would prefer the latter.
Remember, the average age of the users of this forum is pretty young. Being a school teacher I know it is popular to be negative and bash authority ( like we did ) - but there seems to be a general lack of understanding of the responsibilities that come with freedom, and that is of great concern to me as well.
I plan on teaching my students some more balanced higher level thinking this year. Beginning with appreciation of what they enjoy and take for granted, along with the history and ideals of the U.S.
And how it is incumbent on us, in, wisdom, and even with freedom of speech to support our President and leaders EVEN WHEN WE DO NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH THEM.
We each need to do the same - we have a responsibility to teach appreciation and common sense.
People also do not have that sense of history - so much of this is similar to Reagan era as well - that he was stupid, the world hates us etc. - because he was tough. But the results now speak for themselves.

Terrific question.

Answer 2

I suggest you look at the other side as well. Suggestions and Solutions from those who support bush are along the lines of "nuke Iraq" or "kill them all".

Both sides are a little nuts.

Also since when is Bush a country as you have directly implied in your question? It is Bush that is hated by Americans, not America. Replace him with someone less extreme and a lot more people would be happy.

Answer 3

to answer your question on what you said about "everything is a conspiracy" - this is a proven fact - 5% of the us population owns 75% of all the wealth in america and bill gates alone own 40% this is more than enought evidence to me that governments are conspiracies and dont care about helping people they just pretend do it - now i dont take sides whether i support bush or clinton if fact i dont support any. i believe that there is no governement but there is a secret society that control the govenment and tell them what to do and what president they want some people call them the illumanti - to find more on govt cover up and so on go to website and search on "declassified documents" especially operation northwoods recently declassified.

I take you are in favor of bush - to me when he invaded iraq he could easily have triggered world war 3 and this would most likely be a full scale nuclear war and billions would die in about an hour so i dont think its a UN weapons inspector issue but a issue not to start world war 3 and watch millions die - just my opinion.

Answer 4

well i agree that the bush/hitler comparisons are ridiculous. but i don't think that these people are criticizing america. many people make the false connection that to criticize the president means one must also hate america. it's because they love america and the freedom it provides that they are able to voice their disappointment with its leader.
i think there are many thoughtful suggestions offered to fix the war on terrorism, iraq, etc. but, as you've discovered, the ones who speak the loudest usually have the worst ideas. i've seen some very excellent questions on here posted by both sides of the political spectrum. but you're going to have to sift through a lot of ignorance and stupidity to find the few pieces of gold.

Answer 5

How can you blindly support a person who clearly is so wrong and destructive to this country.

The bad guys are stronger now than they have ever been, our civil liberties have been eroded. 200-500 soldiers a month are being injured and maimed for bush's lie.

Our economy is being dragged into the abyss by the highest oil prices ever. the national deficit is higher than it has ever been.

Where is the positive in all of this?

I offer you a solution. Impeach the loser and throw him in jail where he belongs.

Answer 6

It is not hatred. Bush promised this country, prior to his first term, to bring respect back to the presidency. He most definitely hasn't accomplished this, if anything the disrespect has multiplied ten fold. His policies, his support of covert actions, his lies, and his blind support of the big dollar companies that got him elected over anything else has created an overwhelming climate of disrespect, distrust, and contempt for him, the office he holds, and the party he is part of.

Answer 7

Whenever I think of Bush I recall a story of Little Lamb and Wolf. Shall I recall you? Once upon a time a little lamb was drinking water from a stream and a little away was the wolf who wanted to eat the little lamb so he said to lamb that he was superior and that stream belonged to him and lamb was spoiling his water. Lamb said “you are drink water from upper side of this stream how can I spoil this while drinking in lower side”. Wolf was mad at this answer he blamed lamb for calling him names a year ago, but lamb said he was only six. After that wolf jumped on him and ate him. Bush is doing exactly what that wolf did with innocent

Answer 8

He is not the same as Hitler or Stalin.
But he has been acting as a puppet, when he is in a position which could change the world for the better. has he?according to some republicans and even some democrats, he has.
to many americans and the overwhelming majority of the world, he hasnt.he, and his intelligence(?) gang have been responsible for several attacks on the basics of democracy and even equality national policies.
people are fired everyday for doing a bad job. Don't you think if those same criteria were applied to Mr. Bush, he would have been fired already?simply putting it, just the way he dealt with 9/11 would be enough to fire a normal individual and put him in court for professional misconduct. im sure you wont disagree.
no, i dont hate him. i dont hate anyone. but i feel the pain of people who are affected by others decisions and a 1 second superficial portray of what happens is shown in the media, in the middle of a hamburger meal.who cares anyway when it doesnt affect one person's own life.it's sad.
if there are no options, then criticise the party's recruitment policies. it's not by attacking the lack of ideas that we can defend bad ideas.

Answer 9

MEANT to go there, but made a slight error...

All ye God-loving people sure can forgive
a man for a small MISTAKE ?

Answer 10

I agree with you more than a hundred percent..if that were possible...I think most of them have to have a scapegoat for their own party's failure. They ignore important little questions such as, On whose watch did the 3rd world countries actually acquire nuclear technology? The important thing people in this country need to ask themselves in this day and age happens to be...Do I want a treehugging, but politically correct, babykiller defending my country from a society of people who will blow themselves and their own country up just to promote their radical agenda? It is a different day in history now, and political correctness is more of an achilles heel than an annoyance!!
