Bush's comments a threat to freedom of speech?

Question

America - free speech ? But if you don't buy the government line then you are a terrorist? Seems to me this is a threat - believe it happened the way I said it did or else -

Subcultures of conspiracy and misinformation. Terrorists recruit more effectively from populations whose information about the world is contaminated by falsehoods and corrupted by conspiracy theories. The distortions keep alive grievances and filter out facts that would challenge popular prejudices and self-serving propaganda.

The administration has come under criticism for its treatment of detainees. European Union legislators said the CIA was conducting clandestine flights in Europe to take terror suspects to countries where they could face torture

Simple maybe scary though very scary

Answer 1

Bush Jr's comments are a slur on the entire humanity. He is taking the world in his strides to appease his dictatorial designs. He speaks about fight against terrorism, when he himself is the man who prompts terror and terrorists. The present and the past breed of terrorists is nothing but creation of Bush and his predecessors. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right in a democracy and anyone tampering with should be contrued as a dictator. Views put in by some fellows, inviting sensible voting in Novemeber is a good sign and means that roots of democracy are deep and intact in the Americans.
Besides Mr Bush, his entire administration seems to be in the same boat. Seconding each and every step of his without a logical thought. So the entire parade of Mr Bush should be closely monitored while going for vote in November.

Answer 2

Certainly is. Remember the Alien & Sedition Acts during the time of the War of 1812. And even Abraham Lincoln went after Northern Democrats who spoke out against the war. Of course the Democrats were the conservatives back in them days. The Republicans were the Liberal boys with their spreading freedom stuff down south.

Answer 3

Here a great example of free speech!



George W. Bush is a moran. He should be impeached and executed for high treason of the United States of America.

Hes too stupid to think, he paid his way through elementry, middle, high school. and college, if not he would be stuck in the first grade!

He was never elected either time. He LOST the popular vote TWICE!

Answer 4

Listen, y'all know very well that this administration is all about empty rhetoric and nothing more! The very things that bush jr. condemns the nazis for are the exact crimes he is committing against his own people! He is an egotistical liar that will repeat whatever fat head rove tells him to say and so what if he stomps all over our constitution! He's already labeled us "appeasers of terrorist" cuz we disagree with his handling of the war in Iraq! Yet later he says they hate us for our freedom and he'll do whatever it takes to protect our freedoms! Go figure! Simple rhetoric and nothing more.

Answer 5

It's hard to believe that there is so much hatred expressed on this program. All of it is directed toward a person who is doing exactly what YOU have told him to do,..he is protecting YOUR country.

There is a Congress of 530 some odd people who sit in the national capitol and latelty have done nothing at all except b*t*ch and moan and cry instead of doing their jobs and LEGISLATE.

If you really want to find the culprits who have allowed all of your probelems to happen,...look at those folks who sit around and give themselves obscene pay raises, take world class tours and do nothing to earn any of it.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE WRONG OFFICE FOR YOUR COMPLAINTS. Call your congressman and ask him/her to do what you elected him to do. Listen to his answer and then you will really have something to complain about

Answer 6

In a small way you and I and others see it here...when Democrats are constantly told they are UN-American for not believing in this war,or the justification for it.I think we are on the verge of some kind of drastic change here in America and I am hoping that it will be positive ..please vote this November ..Never in Americas history has it ever became so clear... the importance of voting!

Answer 7

Pres. bush has made it clear from time to time "You're with us or against us". I dare say I would not wear a t-shirt to visit the white house that declared I was a Democrat.

Answer 8

Blah Blah Blah

Answer 9

Answer 10
