Why do most Americans think if you don't support Bush, you are unpatriotic?

Question

I am an American as well as christian and love my country. But I don't support Bush agenda he has led us into believing that all people of different faith other than christianity and Judaism are our enemies.

Answer 1

Most don't. Just a few very loud ones.

And they think that because it's easier than having to think about the issues, or to make pesky little distinctions like the difference between the office of the President and the current occupant.

Answer 2

No, that is not true. I support Bush but NOT IN ALL OF HIS DECISIONS. Anyone has the RIGHT to work against Bush. That is NOT where they are considered unpatriotic. You are considered unpatriotic when you publicly slander your nation and/or the president by calling names and making unproven accusations that are detrimental to your nation's name and reputation. Your claim that Bush has LED US INTO BELIEVING THAT ALL PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT FAITHS OTHER THAN CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM ARE OUR ENEMIES is either an out and out lie or you have had your head in the sand for 6 plus years.

Answer 3

no one really thinks that if you dont support bush you are unpatriotic, even the 25% of his hardcore suppoters who still believe there are wmd in iraq. Its just a political ploy, kind of like mentioning that the soldiers in iraq are gonna run out of money by april 15 if bush vetoes the bill the democrats are pushing to bring the soldiers home. Im sure that the date, which is also the date millions of americans send their hard earned money to the goverment for taxes, will make people feel very patriotic knowing that haliburton and co wont be running low on funds to embezzle and waste.

Answer 4

Mr. Bush has never said people of other faith are our enemies. If he believed that, he would pull all the troops out of Iraq and let the Muslim factions kill each other off. His agenda as I see it is to help the new democratic government establish itself. It will never happen of course, because each different Muslim faction thinks their people should be in power. It looks like the new congress will demand the pull out of troops soon and do it. Although I upheld his reasons for going into Iraq, I feel that the time has come to give up and let them take care of themselves. I understand a lot of good things have happened over there but we seldom hear about them since the media chooses to dwell on the bad things and let the good go unapplauded.

Answer 5

It's brainwashing. If you repeat the same lies enough times, people start believing it. And people really started to believe his bullcrap and all the lies he told to start another Vietnam.And that is what we are in now. Thank you Mr. Moron.And anyone who has bought into that lie has been brainwashed too We started a war with no plan for victory. JUST LIKE VIETNAM !!! Now the real enemies of 9/11 will never be brought to justice.But then , the Bin Laden family and the Bush family are friends.

Answer 6

Because he disobeys laws, treaties, the Constitution and gets us into wars for personal gain, oil, getting almost 3,500 of our troops killed. Bush says there are 23,000 wounded in Iraq, however the VA is treating 105,000 of them while Bush cuts their budget by $100 BILLION, giving tax cuts to those who earn more than a million a year!

I think the UNPATRIOTIC ONES are those that support Bush and have never been in the military, or Iraq! A yellow bumper sticker made in China doesn't cut it!

Answer 7

The reason is obvious.

The reason why Bush is keeping our soldiers in Iraq is to stop Al Qaeda from making Iraq into another safe haven for terrorists. He's said that that is the reason, many times. If we left Iraq tommorow without stopping the insurgency, the terrorists would use Iraq as a hideout to launch a second terrorist attack on America. They would crash a plane into a nuclear plant and kill 7'000'000 Americans, and the civil warfare would quickly kill all 6'000'000 residents of Baghdad.

Therefore, SUPPORT VICTORY IN IRAQ, NOT FAILURE.

Answer 8

When has he tried to convince anyone of that......I'm not religious by a long shot, I support the president, the war and served 18 months in Iraq. I think the war is the right thing, you don't and I respect that, its your right as an American. However don't tell me I'm a warmongering idiot "bushie" and I won't call you unpatriotic.

Answer 9

eh, i don't and i don't support bush. But i don't really think he has only promoted christianity and judaism and that all others are our enemies. i think that is something that most people assumed after 9-11 without him saying some thing

Answer 10

Most Americans dont thik you have to support bush to be patriotic, but when has he said that anyone other than christians and Jews are our enemies. he never even said Muslims are our enemies. Only those Muslims that flew planes into our buildings. and the Muslims that are terrorists.

Answer 11

I am a Christian conservative who supports the president.

I am also a person who believes that everyone is different with differing opinions depending on faith, nationality, etc. I have friends that I don't always agree with, but I enjoy debate. I think as long as you are respectful of the office he holds then you have the right as an American to voice your opinion.

The problem is that some elected officials have chosen to call our president names such as Nazi, racist, bigot, murderer, draft dodger, etc. you name it. When elected officials stoop to those kind of tactics it reflects badly on everyone who might have agreed with there original argument.
