Why is it that if you're against President Bush and the way he is running the country your considered........

Question

Anti-American or you should be hung for treason?

Going through some of the post here on this website a lot of people feel that if you disagree your part of the problem.

So should we just go along with what we feel is wrong so that everyone else is pleased?? I love this country but I don't support Bush, and the way, I personally feel, our country seems to be heading right now. If you disagree I respect that. I just hate to see others disrespect people and acuse them of treason of all things because their opinions differ.

Answer 1

Everybody has been bashing Bush, some even compare him to Hitler. I'm not a Bush supporter, but I find more similarities between George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln.
While in office, Lincoln was an extremely unpopular president, much like Bush. Lincoln split the country and started a bloody war that was mostly supported by the religious right in the north. Yet, history looks back at Lincoln as one as this country's greatest presidents.
History may look back at Bush in an entirely different way than most of us see him today. Right now I don't care much about his policies. His statement after 9/11 where he said, your either with us or against us, is likely the driving force still today why people think you're a traitor if you don't agree with Bush.

Answer 2

little or no probability that Obama might have overwhelmed Bush. Liberals will by no skill comprehend the 2008 grow to be a as quickly as in a life-time undertaking for the liberals. This usa is a center good usa no be counted if the Liberals have confidence it or not. In 2008 the Democrats have been going to win huge no be counted who they ran, occasion Al Fran ken from Minnesota. If with the help of a few miracle Obama had gained, this usa may well be lots worse shape than it extremely is now. i'm sixty two and that i've got by no skill considered a President as undesirable as Obama. he's with the help of a strategies the worst President in American historic past and it is usually a miracle if this usa ever recovers from the wear he's doing.

Answer 3

For me, it all depends on the NATURE of the dissent. If people start talking about how they wish President Bush would die, or how they'd kill him if they had the chance, that IS anti-American, AND it's a federal offense.
When people protest the war by calling our brave military personnel "baby-killers" and "terrorists" and "murderers", that is TREASON, and they should be hung. They're giving encouragement to the enemy.

However, if a person politely disagrees with President Bush and his policies, and they are respectful, there is no reason why their opinion should be called anti-American.

By the way, thank you for referring to President Bush so politely. Many who disagree with him DON'T, and to disrespect a sitting president in such a way is reprehensible.

They should hold it until he's out of office. I just did start calling Clinton "Slick Willy."

By the way, most conservatives won't call a person an anti-American traitor IF the person is respectful about their opinion. I'm moderate, but I'm becoming more conservative just to separate myself from the crazy far-left...those people are the traitors! The likes of Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan should be hung.

Answer 4

O I like rosi l comment, read the things conservatives on here say and relook at your comment.

I think the answer to the question is that both sides find it easy to condemn one side or the other with smart a..es comments or nasty ones rather than make any kind of detailed intelligent response.

Both sides have good reasons for the way they are but most of them would fail to be able to articulate any kind of a reasoned response. To many seem to have been spending their time listening to Rush (I assume the left has someone like him) and copy the depth of thinking he shows.

So it's easier to just say hang the dissenters rather than discuss the issues because then you have to know something about it.

Answer 5

Who has made you feel that way? President Bush himself has said more than once that people have the right to disagree with him, so it's not coming from him. I know of no conservatives that think that way, I like President Bush and what he's doing with the country, but understand that there are people who disagree with me. What bothers me is that most can't just disagree, comments have to be filled with hatred for him and conservatives, which is unnecessary. I think you are probably hearing this from someone on the left.

Answer 6

I don't know; dissent always seems to be looked down upon. I think people sometimes confuse opposition with disrespect. But disagreement and argument are necessary to change, and are in my mind at least, rightful.

Answer 7

I have no problem with liberals being hung for treason, it's a nice thought!

Answer 8

For one his Administration has deemed anyone against the Patriot Act as being a "terrorist" themselves. For another the Bush Administration are really just short of Nazi's that use propaganda and block the media from reporting the truth and regularly withhold the truth to suit their policies. They doing away with the Bill of Rights and regularly break Federal Law without conscience. It's the way of the "New World Order".

Answer 9

This is a smoke screen put up by the neo-cons so people won't notice that everything they stand for is anti-American and treason.

Answer 10

It's not that one is against him, it is the way they phrase it. You are sensible in your phrasing. A lot of these questions are not. Especially at 3-5 am EST.
