Why do conservatives defend Bush's involvment with Saudi Arabia if they love family values?

Question

]
I guess if you think beheading and shooting women and men for disputable crimes without any justice system organization or citizen representation, as the people, including small children are forced to look on is good family values...

Is this the kind of government you feel comfortable knowing your president's family is so kissy face and cozy with?
ANd why does Bush PHYSICALLY and metaphorically hold hands with the Saudi's?

Does Bush and the US sound like a government who gives two craps about the lives of innocent civilians or who would even care what an evil dicatator does to it's people, never mind try to use it as a cause to go to war?

They do horrific things to people in Saudi arabia, it's an evil country if there ever was one,
so why is the Bush family in bed with it's leaders?

Chase, stop being a baby, you need to get over the french, like our government has, it's NO skin off their backs. France has a VERY high Muslim population, so there you go.
ANd you might want to rethink the whole beheading thing, they do that regardless, just like they do to their citizens in Saudi , and they do it to us because we are THERE. Get it?
That's just what they do!
That's why we need to kick the oil habit and cut them off,
unfortunately, Bushies have NO intention! They are in bed with the enemy! WAKE UP.

Oil

Answer 2

Why does america remain so close with France or Germany. Saudi Arabia offers a stable ally in the middle east. Why ruin that. Do you think Bush started a relationship with the Saudi's, no he didnt. The Saudi's have been our Ally for a while. But back to France. why stay ally's with them. the only thing they're good for is surrendering and stabbing us in the back. Just bacuase Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship doesnt mean we cant be ally's. We dont even get a majority of our oil from Saudi Arabia. We get it from South America, so really we arent that close with the Saudi's. You must have watched Fahrenheit 9/11. Yeah, that's a real credible source, a movie that PROVES the 6 degree theory. Every one is related to someone else by 6 people. The Saudi's are an ally in the War on Terror, we could just lose their support like Jimmy Carter lost Iran's alliance with us in the 70's. But look what that caused.
Why are you against the war on terror, is it because you support beheading's on camera and innocent civilians dying. We must destroy terrorism and since alot of european countries are too p*ssy to fight, we need the Suadi Support.
So just shut the f*ck up, we'll do the fighting, too bad you cant do the dying.

Answer 3

Politics make strange bedfellows.
The question I have is why conservative Christians (the big supporters of family values) support the Republican Party, a party which traditionally has aligned itself with Big Business and the wealthy. The Bible says it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Further, the Religious Right preaches about the imporance of family values; yet the Republican Party has attempted to do away with overtime pay allowing for businesses to work people longer hours, keeping them away from their families, and also for cutting pay which will require more families to have both families working to make ends meet. Seems to me that the Religious Right is doing nothing more than playing politics, which seems to me to be dangerous if their own religion is right.

Answer 4

Saudi Arabia is slowly westernizing and is one of the more western of the Arab countries. The US had a long standing ally in the Shah of Iran who tried modernizing so quickly that the religious right deposed him giving us the Ayatollah Khomeini.

So while King Fahd slowly moves his country to a more western philosophy the US is not going to push him to make radical changes that could jeopardize his rule. Fahd is a monarch, not a dictator.

Answer 5

there is nothing more american than driving a huge gas guzzling suv to the store for a six pack of beer and some apple pie. At least that is what the oil companies and car manufactures tell us, and since they paid for bush to take office, that is what he listens to.

Answer 6

President Bush and his family are not kissy, kissy with the Saudi Royal Family.

Answer 7

I am always surprised at the lack of knowledge or on purpose not staing real facts.

The American Government ( which is only led by Bush at this time) has treaties and agreeemnts with nations of all sorts, communist, dictators and the such. It does not mean we agree or like thier form of government, but that we prefer peaceful means. also we beleieve in the lawful self rule of all nations.

So we had ties with them, though Carter and Clinton also.

Bush is only part of the entire system,

So get over your hate of Bush and grow up.

Answer 8

First you need to quit watching CNN.
If Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea (take your pick sweetie) is so awesome, with peace loving men, women and children WHY dont YOU take your rear end over there and get "cozy" with your "family values"....liberal moron.
I would PAY MONEY to behead Osama Bin Laden myself! Take out a mortgage on my home, bid for the right on EBAY!!!!
These countries are card carrying lunatics American hating, freedom hating, radical freaks that WANT TO KILL YOU!!!!!
Like I said, buy plane ticket, pack your bags and your latest copy of CNN's poll results on how much everyone (liberals) in America hates Bush and how the same people are ashamed of our Nation and our troops fighting to keep our spoiled a$$es safe from crazies AND get gone! America doesnt need you here!
CAN GEORGE BUSH GET ANY FLIPPING CREDIT HERE???
He has faced MORE disaster than ANY other US President and all he gets is critisim.
When and where exactly did he "physically" and "metaphorically" hold hands with the Saudi's?
What is odd that this offends you is that LIBERALS usually like that cheesy stuff, you know, peace talks with North Korea and all that horse poop.
AND whose side are you on?

Answer 9

There's no justification. The only explanation is that for moralistic conservatives, greed trumps all other values.

Answer 10

I actually think you have it wrong. I think most conservatives wish Bush would attack them too.
