How is Bush right and anti-Bush propaganda wrong?

Question

I live in New York and am immersed in anti-Bush propaganda, and I feel great because I hate the ******** too.

I've ONLY heard anti-Bush (nothing solid that's pro-Bush), and it's come not only from my friends and internet blogs, but from the media as well. It looks like everyone in the country except a few fanatical bible-thumping war-mongerers opposes Bush.

This makes me suspicious. Why would he keep doing all these extremely unpopular things in the face of opposition from over half the country? Is it possible that Bush's policies are actually BEST for America and the rest of the world? Are the people who oppose him just small-minded and focused only on their own tax breaks and economic problems?

What's the side that supports Bush's actions that I'm NOT getting from the internet and press?

RELIABLE SOURCES *ONLY*, PLEASE! I am not interested in reading some blogger's opinions, I'm willing to take the time to work through hard facts.

Answer 1

If you want real reliable sources how about the BBC you can see the real story here.
http://www.reallynews.com/video/pon/powerofnightmares.htm that goes into the origins, and basic source of dishonor, of the Neocon rise. (and the real story of Islamists as well)

You can also see Thom Hartmann explain everything about the assault on the middle class here http://www.booktv.org/feature/index.asp?segid=7408&schedid=454

For a real story of what is happening in Iraq you can not get better than an American who looks like an Iraqi, and speaks the language you can see here http://www.bostonreview.net/BR31.6/rosen.html

John Dean is no Liberal and Barry Goldwater was the original definition of a conservative, but this is about the reality Dean found from major research http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jA0OVtvqjk

This is about what is happening with incomes, all data, and math
here http://www.lcurve.org/

All these are from genuine professionals, and in some cases Like the BBC instance there is stuff that they say that I would disagree with (like saying liberals failed, rather than were subverted), and have the actual players telling their own story.

Reality is not propaganda, the halfway point between Obvious and Oblivious, is not a Moderate position, or devoid of propaganda.

Answer 2

If you don't want to read opinions, then I can't help you. I'd say the same if you wanted anti-Bush materials.

Go to the Republican National Committee's website. there will be opinions, but these people will incorporate the facts into their arguments. Same with the Democratic National Committee.

And the White House will give you their side. They have press releases too. All these sources pick and choose the facts they emphasize, but they don't outright lie. It's too easy to get caught!

The only "unbiased" site I know of is:

http://www.factcheck.org/

They PURPORT to cut through all the nonsense and give you the truth. but they are only human beings like the rest of us. Plus, they only check individual facts and don't give a broad general picture of policy.

You have to read from many sources and make up your own mind. Each of us is the judge! Good luck. :)

Iraq warfare - It wasn't an significant conflict and expenses us an significant quantity of money, factors & lives. Iraq change into contained & they'd no skill to threaten the continental usa nor had they made a bypass to finish that previous Saddam operating his mouth. there change into also no protection stress intelligence that recommend Saddam change into heavily wondering about attacking the U.S. It also led to the most objective to shift from Al-Queda & Afghanistan, that were the real culprits of 9/11. Prescription Drug Plan - It fee heavily more suitable than the authorities suggested it would want to (a lifeless ringer for Obama's Healthcare restore will). Katrina - i'm not particular George Bush change into prepared for the full implications of what went down. It change into in all likelihood the fault of his advisors and FEMA not informing him how undesirable it would want to in all likelihood be or how the challenge change into, yet he change into the chief and as such takes the blame. merely the way it rolls. previous those challenge's, he might want to have performed "very well" with some minor issues. He delt with the accounting corruption scandal, dealt with the preliminary attack on 9/11 fairly nicely etc. If really he might want to have kept the interest on the ball (Al-Queda).

Answer 4

its not "PRO BUSH" its that there are people that understand what he is trying to do in the grand scheme of things. (well most. ofcourse there are some on both sides that are just party banner waiving) Any one that is worthy of answering this question will acknowledge there were mistakes. there is no right and wrong answer to the problems the world faces and there are also underlying goals and reason that are not available to the everyday person. but to answer your question you have to be more specific on what areas you are talking about. One place I will address is that most attackers use three arguments.

1. The people of Iraq are worse off now than before.

not true.. there is much good that is happening and can be seen and heard from men and women on the ground

2. Breaking the Geneva convention.

False: they look at one part of the rulings to make decisions however it takes a view of the entire thing to understand. Article 52 states very clearly that the people that are fighting against us are NOT soldiers and are not covered under the convention. Actually it states very clearly that they can be shot on the spot as a spy but we extend much more curtesy that they dont deserve.

3. its all about oil proven by the record profits of oil companies.

False in that profits are nationwide and actually the percentage compared to other business are less nationwide.

if their is any other area. Id be happy to show why its spin but this is off the top of my head.

Answer 5

Anti-Bush propoganda ISNT wrong. Now I like most things American compared to the British (apart from their chocolate and sense of humor) and feel Americans are more laid back than us "stiff upper lip" Brits BUT I think they could do more with a Royal family than him or any President for that matter. I dont believe in this "everyone's right to have a gun" and the way Bush overlooks problems in his own country to poke his nose in other countries' affairs (just like Blair has been getting now). Poverty in America is far worse than it is here because they dont get benefits and everything paid for like we do here and that is why they get all this gang warfare problems (Id love to work with the poor in America because theyre much worse off than us). Anyway like I say they should do away with Presidents and get a Royal Family like us - Rule Britannia I say!

Answer 6

First time round, .... he lost the vote. But they put that son of a Bush in the White House as president, not Al Gore who won the vote. Do you think that something might be wrong with this picture?
Why did America accept that?
Michal Moor didn't accept it, take a look at his web site. www.michaelmoor.com/

Answer 7

Considering his resounding fall in the polls since his election, you may have to wait a long time. I suppose you can only watch Fox as they have the sunniest view possible of Bushs actions, and the most alarmist over the switch in Congress. Listen to Rush if you can stomach him, and don't intend to check his claims to carefully. Its hard to get two sides to a story that doesn't have one.

Answer 8

The reason Bush is unpopular is because he is shoring up the mentalities and buisnesses that are contributing to the possible fate of the planet, oil, multinationals, corrupt third world governments etc. And if you live in New York why are you asking questions on a United Kingdom Q+A site, is it because your question is transparent ly bogus at home?

Answer 9

It has got so bad that YA now select certain accounts that they monitor constantly.

Any question that I ask re Bush is now not published and I get a violation with 10 points deducted... Free Speech? Don't make me laugh.

Answer 10

I don't for sure because of I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, but I think Fox News is pretty pro-Bush. Although personally I think the anti-Bush people have got it right.
Considering how bad the situation is in Iraq I think everybody has realised he is wrong.
