Do you confuse anti-Bush with anti-Americanism?

Question

Simple fact, there is nothing to be proud of Bush for, whilst there is a lot to be proud about America. Agree

Answer 1

No.

Bush is a rich idiot son moron who is in WAY WAY WAY over his head as president This was well evident at his "My Pet Goat" moment on 9/11.

America is great despite him.

Answer 2

No, I do not confuse the two! Bush is an evil elitist puppet, who only does his puppet master's bidding, because he thinks that the globalist elite are the only people who count! And anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves, and will be in for a very rude awakening, when the New World Order is fully in place! This nightmare will make the holocaust look like Disneyland by comparison, because they now have technology to use against us, that they did not possess, then!

We can stop them, because we have the numbers, but only if enough of us wake up, and stand united to tell them NO we will not accept this! I hope that those who refuse to listen and see, will be able to forgive themselves when these things come about, and they finally wake up to the fact that they could have helped to nip it in the bud, instead of remaining asleep at the wheel and allowing this nightmare to be! *sm*

Answer 3

Honestly, It depends how you look at the term Americanism, Americanism will never in my opinion be a proud dream, unless you are seeking a higher dream, which i refer to the kingdom that lies after life. From there on everything is added to your life that is fulfilling which may fill like the American dream. Americanism can mean exactly what Bush projects too. For certainly in a personal view...America is still blessed in comparison to other countries....I agree

Answer 4

Only the simpleton logic of the run of the mill neoconservative would conflate being anti-Bush with being anti-American. Popular dissent against an American leader, especially when that leader is in flagrant violation of the foundational principles of this country, isn’t being unpatriotic, it is in fact the most patriotic thing one can do.

This country was founded on dissident against a ruler and his minions. The very embodiment of being a true American is to exercise ones right to dissident when one sees ones leaders depart from the core values of this country. I cannot say it any better than Teddy Roosevelt:

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."

Answer 5

the problem is that each and every time somebody calls you, the human beings, to job for extra worldwide defense force action by ability of your government maximum of you trot out, "you would be talking German yet for us" , sorry yet we had contained the Germans without your help for 4 years and your government in basic terms joined the warfare after Pearl harbour. We in uk think of that the Iraq debacle is merely that and that not something has been learnt from previous wars. additionally your government's persisted and unquestioning help for the state of Israel, which seems to be yet another terrorist usa and is probably contributing to the Arab terrorist stream, is yet another element. Your quote that we are additionally in Iraq isn't via fact the British human beings needed it yet via fact Blair theory that it became right into a powerful occupation flow, huge mistake, and now llike your governemnt having destablised tha area would have the two stay and desire to freshen up the mess or get out and watch via fact the entire center East disolves into chaos. i'm suprised that your previous errors in this sort a wager weren't taken under consideration in the previous invading. No the reaction which you come across in the boards is against your government and not persons, in spite of the very incontrovertible fact that there are some who look to perpetuate the sensation that the government thinks like the human beings. in case you want to construct bridges then get your selves a President who would not address a foreign places head of state "YO Blair".

Answer 6

No. They are almost the same. Bush isn't the evil rich guy you conspiracy theorists think he is. He wants to rid the country of crime and terrorism. If you are anti that, then you are anti American, because anyone that likes America would want to get rid of terrorism.
'
Of course there are things to not like about Bush, such as not getting vouchers for public school kids to move to better schools, building of more power plants, building of more nuclear power plants, not funding research for renewable energy, and not drilling for oil in Alaska.

Answer 7

Nope. Currently, I consider being anti-Bush a noble, smart and American act. This country wasn't founded by a bunch of pansies who "stand behind their leader no matter what." They stood behind freedom and dignity first -- titles and rituals were for little boys in treehouses.

Answer 8

Not me. I know the difference. Try explaining it to the cons.
I am proud of America but, I am embarrassed by Bush.

Answer 9

Nope, I was anti-Clinton and it's your right to be anti-Bush.

Selling this country down the tube IS anti-Americanism and there is a difference.

Answer 10

Bush is a plague that hit our great nation, but it too will pass
