3 we end up paying more with soliders lifes as well as americans dying did he care no

4 the reason they so anti american is that he was willing to give oil and money to certain countains so therefore 911 happen that is why they say that

Answer 2

Well, it all depends.
For example, if an American on here is threatening the life of the president, a member of his cabinet, or his family, THEN I'll call them "anti-American."
If they use lies with which to attack President Bush, I'll call them morons (though I won't say it outright, those people tend to be over-sensitive!).
If they start comparing Bush to Hitler, or calling him and/or his followers a Nazi, or calling him a terrorist, I'll agree that they're anti-American, because doing any of those proves what a MORON they are.
However, if a person uses FACTS to back up their opinions, I'm the same as most other people with differing opinions; I'll just leave them alone. I might debate them a little (or a lot, depending on what they're willing to do), but I won't call them anti-American.

Answer 3

Thats little radical's way of trying to intimidate you and avoid being called a big bunch of whiney cry babies> Hell i though you could be against Bush and still be suporative of our country, but maybe not the republicians must have changed that too.Mr Clinton was elected for 8 years and the republicans sure gave him hell the whole time now they forget about that.

Answer 4

Oh because they are sad creatures grasping at straws, who should be looked at with part horror, part sadness and lastly amusment.
They have nothing else so they actually believe the nonsense that if you question Bush you are anti american.

Answer 5

It is the cult of the President. It is the same crap as "My country right or wrong". Americans see the President as some sort of Pontifex Maximus, embodying the state. To criticise the President is to criticise the state. It is very immature.

Answer 6

This reminds me of the story where the king went around the kingdom naked and no one was allowed to say that he had no clothes.

If we cant criticize elected officials then democracy in America will be dead. If they cant stand the heat, then they should get out of the kitchen.

Answer 7

If you ever graduate from the 6th grade you'll see that only true Americans are anti- Bush. Someone with as low mentality as yours shouldn't be sniffin' coke either.

Answer 8

I wish there were a nicer way to say it, but because the majority of people are stupid, ignorant and simple as is evidenced by the fact that the majority voted him in in the first place ....and the second place.

Answer 9

Because 68% of Americans VOTED for him in 2004. To be anti-Bush is to be against majority of Americans and thus anti-American.
When you attack/insult Bush you are doing the same thing to average Americans. Think about that LIBS!

Answer 10

It's not many people saying this, it's mostly those on the left accusing conservatives of saying this. They have said it so much that people like you now beleive it.
