will cons accept any responsibililty for the massive division in the US?

Question

bush said he was a uniter, and that was the first of many ....less than true statements..

im guessing the right is proud americans are at each others throats....at least they can claim that as an accomplishment

Answer 1

To answer this question requires a clarification of what you mean by "united". There are always political divisions within this country. We were hardly "united" on domestic issues under Clinton, but Republicans at least put America first, for the most part, when it came to foreign policy - generally giving Clinton a lot of leeway (though not without some opposition). George Bush was elected president twice. This gives him the authority under the US constitution to make foreign policy decisions. Unfortunately, today's far left Liberals seem to think that, regardless of the outcome of the last two elections, they should get their way. When they don't get their way, they call it "massive division".

While opposition parties have every right, and indeed obligation, to voice their opinion, Liberal opposition for the last 6 years has become vitriolic and bordering on hysterical. The question is why? I think there are two main reasons.

The first reason: the 2000 election.
During the Reagan administration there was plenty of Democrat opposition to his military build up and is tough stance with the Soviet Union. But he managed to get his foreign policy agenda accomplished with a Democrat controlled Congress (though he did have a Republican Senate, it was for two years). I think the current "massive division" has less to do with Bushes policies than with the outcome of the 2000 election, to wit: you still see Liberals today calling him "selected" rather than "elected". To be sure, even if Bush had a decisive victory in 2000 you would still see plenty of opposition - much as during the Reagan administration - but the more rational Liberals would be mollified somewhat I believe. Since the 2000 election, however, many Liberals FEEL as though Bush is an illegitimate president. This gives many of them, and especially the wing-nuts, cause and plenty of motivation to keep up a constant barrage of attacks - doing their best to undermine his legitimacy.

The second reason: the Internet.
While Internet usage climbed steeply between 1995 and 2000, it has never been more of a factor in politics than in the last 4 or 5 years. Although you occasionally see main stream Democrat politicians spouting derisive comments about Bush, most of their comments don’t stray outside normal politicking. Most of the perceived “massive division” I think comes from the blogisphere. That’s where much of the vitriol directed at Bush (Bush is Hitler, Bush is taking away ALL our rights, Bush was “selected”) emanates from. It’s nice for Liberal power brokers though. They don’t have to engage in those tactics themselves - they can let anonymous (for the most part) hacks push that kind of garbage on the internet but use their efforts to push the Liberal agenda as much as possible. In other words: to get what they want in spite of the last two elections. In short, the “massive division” is all about political power – who has it, and who doesn’t.

Answer 2

"mission control to space alien, come in propaganda alien." Uhm like the Politically "Correct" don't divide? Duh...


Wait one...yes Prez Bush does call Dems unpatriotic. That's wrong. Liberals who hate America are unpatriotic. But many Dems do care, they are just incompetent Politically Correct wussies.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++program may now continue...

Bush is a girly man clown with an iq of 2. Let's vote in Senator McClain. Politically Correct pukes are masters at confusing the population.

If we exterminate the Politically Correct, then we will have united. Why is it always those who cry "wolf" too many times that can't accept ANY responsibility?

I'm an independent & always hope the Dems & the Repubs get some balls. No not Hillary, she stole her nuts...

Is this what the top Dems & Repubs want-Civil War? Let's be real, no one from either party cares that gangs, drugs, violence & job outsourcing are increasing while double speak
& Orwellian ideas rule.

"calling General Trajan..." Oh Christmas Trees,
I mean Holiday Green trees...here comes martial law...?!@#

Answer 3

the answer for your question is basic yet complicated. the reason that we've such an incredible style of different denominations in Christianity is through the very undeniable truth that you've such an incredible style of human beings interprating the Bible many various recommendations. the different side to it truly is that when God well-knownshows Truths in his note, human beings create those doctrins and traditions. once this happens human beings get so stuck up contained in the only truth that they omit different Truths that were printed to others sometmes even calling them pretend doctrins. (i.e. the charismatic stream and the religion stream). the numerous project is to understand that the accepted truth is that the merely thanks to the daddy is via the Son. For there is one God, one Son, and one Spirit. the second one area of your question is the very undeniable truth that Christians are being persecuted throughout the time of the global, even contained in the reliable previous u . s . a .. once you've businesses like the ACLU, and the freedom From faith starting place who use scare strategies to get there way in a good number of different parts of global happenings, they make themselves look larger than what they are. although the answer's user-friendly. If the body of Christ can positioned away denominational diffences and stop judging one yet another and are available at the same time as one voice we may be able to have a significant inpact throughout the time of the u . s . a . and something of the global. This u . s . changed into in holding with Jewish-Christian ideas, as will be considered contained in the statement of Independence. all the founding fathers sought God first of their lives.

Answer 4

It's supposed to be an adversarial system. If everyone agreed on everything that would be fascism, not democracy. The only people who are at each ether's throats are the few politically aware people, the real majority is apathetic.

Answer 5

It is the right and the liberals that are dividing this country, that is all they can or ever will accomplish, All they do is undermine everything the President dose at every turn, and the Times proved that when the gave away secrets the bush administration asked them not to print the assholes, always undermining everything just because the hate the President, they won't even hold back to protect the own country F...ing liberals.

Answer 6

Call someone a bigot, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, and watch how well that person will get along with you. The right are not trying any harder to divide society than the left.

Answer 7

It is not possible to unite those who wish to obstruct. Bush cannot take blame for those who attack this nation in order to give him a black eye.

Tom Daschle was notorious for the kind of game to which you just referred. He would use his power to obstruct Republicans at every turn then complain that Republicans could not get anything done so a Democrat would have to be elected.

Sadly, a lot of people fall for that sort of trickery.

Answer 8

Cons ... accept responsibility? HAAAA Those two things will never be in the same sentence together.

Cons will never have the humility, courage or balls to take responsibility for anything.

Answer 9

if the liberals/democrats also accept their responsibility too....there is no one party or person responsible for all thats wrong with this country just as there is no one party or person responsible for all thats good....each individual...you and i included need to take some of that responsibility and blame too.

Answer 10

Not responsibility, but credit for the accomplishment once the get enough power to kill everyone with a brain. They are jealous of the Islamic terrorists because they can't get away with killing all of us. They are too cowardly to be suicide bombers or face prison for their convictions.

They talk-the-talk, but they don't walk-the-walk.

mr us of a baby -

For those of us in the reality-based world, the facts speak for themselves:

Only weeks after Clinton took office in 1993 (following 12 straight years of Republican presidents), terrorist scum tried to bring down the towers.

What did Clinton do?

- within a month, four people were arrested,
- they went on trial that September,
- the trial lasted 6 months, and
- they were all convicted

Are you aware that Clinton stopped eight 9/11-size attacks, despite a Republican Congress that tried to stop his every move?

Are you aware that the very first thing that Clinton did, as he was leaving the White House and Bush was moving in, was to tell Bush that the single greatest threat to the safety of the American people was Osama Bin-Laden. He had his staff stress to Bush’s staff that this was the most important thing Bush needed to know now that he was President.

Are you aware that on August 6, 2001, Bush received a PDBM (President's Daily Briefing Memo) warning that:

- OBL was planning an attack inside the United States, and
- that he might use airplanes, and
- that the targets would be politically important (DC) and major metropolitan centers (NYC)?


Are you aware that Bush, Rice, and the rest of the Bush administration ignored the memo?

Are you aware that the Bush administration abandoned the Israeli – Palestinian issue?

Are you aware that Bush abandoned the war on terror to invade Iraq which, according to your own Republican Congress’s report on pre-war intelligence:

- there were NO terrorists in Iraq before Bush invaded
- there was no connection between Iraq and OBL, AQ, or any terrorist organization
- Hussein did not provide training camps to terrorists
- Hussein hated AQ before we did
- Hussein did not hide al-Zargawi - he tried to have him arrested

Are you aware that the Taliban are stronger in Afghanistan now than they were before Bush invaded?

That opium production is Afghanistan is at record levels and the money from it fills terrorist’s pockets.

Are you aware that Bush is losing in Iraq?

Are you aware that Bush is losing the war on terror?

Are you aware that Bush has destroyed America’s dignity, honor, and reputation?

Of course you are aware of all this because, after all, you are no 4th-grader, right?

You know these things and yet you support Bush, because like all right-wing scum you are an idiot and, worse, a traitor to the United States who supports the spilling of American blood on the altar of Osama Bin-Laden.

Will your lust for American blood be satisfied when Republicans have killed more Americans than OBL and AQ?

The First Amendment does not say that stupid white-trash Christian Republican scum get to make the rules and run the country.
*********************************
Mark D -

The right isn't trying to divide America, they're trying to destroy it:

Conservatives and the religious right want to destroy the real America and replace it with a Theocratic government based on the evil morality of their rape-torture-kill Christian God (or, as John Adams said, they want to, “"whip and crop, and pillory and roast.")

America was founded as a secular democratic republic. By unanimous approval of the 1797 U.S. Congress:

“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion”

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/barbary/bar1796t.htm

This is hardly the first time Christians have tried to undermine the government and overthrow the country. In 1864, 1874, 1896 and 1911, they tried to pass amendments that would rewrite the Constitution to include references to God. Furthermore, there has never been a time in the history of Christianity when it had political power and did not use it for evil purposes.

And today’s Christian terrorists wish America harm as well. On 9/11 both Falwell And Robertson said that God had brought down the trade towers and killed 3,000 because he was angry with America and that we deserved it because we had brought it on ourselves. Of course, on 9/12 they began denying it when it became clear that most Americans were not in the mood for that kind of talk.

We will never know if Adams was right when he wrote,” This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it!”, because we likely we never find out.

But we do know that if the Christian religious-right gains control of America, then only terrorists will control the world. How can we deal with Islamic terrorists abroad when we have Christian terrorist traitors at home?.
