I care deeply about the U.S. and disagree with Bush's government. Am I a traitor?

Answer 1

absolutely not but the bush administration will make you out to be unamerican and a traitor. bush has the highest dissapproval rating currently that anyone has ever had as a U.S. president. Americans and congress are speaking out against him and his administration who have been plagued by constant scandal and corruption. I disgree with the Bush administration on every level and can not wait to see new leadership fix what bush did not here in america such as social security, healthcare, decent wages in america, encouraging of a simplified tax structure that encourages economic growth and development in communities desperately seeking it. i overall believe domestic issues have been completely ignored by the president as he continues further with his middle eastern vendetta.

Answer 2

There is a difference between disagreeing and being a traitor. Just because you disagree, you do not have to tell the world you disagree if you don't think they need to know.

A traitor betrays. A traitor tells a secret or in some way gives the enemy power to win.

If you disagree on, let's say, Guantanamo, the thing to do is tell it to your political leaders. That's disagreeing - and making yourself heard. But telling it to al Qaida and helping them plan a raid, just because you don't agree with it, that's being a traitor.

Never side with America's enemy. If you don't like something, work within the laws of our land to change it. If you do things the right way, you make our country stronger.

Answer 3

Absolutely Not. Part and parcel to a healthy government is to have people who disagree who are not traitors, they are the loyal opposition. Being a traitor would be going to the enemies base and giving them moral support, and criticizing any prisoners they may possess. Actively damaging the US infrastructure to disable the government would be treason. Shooting, or recommending the killing of public officials would be considered treason, and they put you in jail for such things. Writing a scathing critique of the Govt, is not treason. It's just the thing, and sometimes sorely needed.

Answer 4

(I will say right now that I am not liberal and I am quite republican. I also believe that Bush is far from the worst president ever.)

I don't believe you are a traitor. In fact I believe you are a quite patriotic. Any person who isn't afraid to disagree is a patriot in my opinion. In fact diversity is what America was founded on.

Answer 5

No. Americans have a right to disagree with The President. I doubt he would call you a traitor unless you advocated overthrowing the government by force or did something to help terrorists.

Answer 6

No alot of people disagree with bush but they still love America just look at some of the artists in America like Green Day and Eminems song "mosh"

Answer 7

You are what is known as a PATRIOT. Be proud. Get familiar with the US Constitution. You can find it on the internet. You will see yourself written all over it. The true Patriots are open minded about the government and are willing to criticize. Bravo to YOU!

Answer 8

That is what made this country great. It is okay to disagree. I am a republican, and I have problems with allot of Bush's new choices and policies (immigration and war strategy in Iraq).

Answer 9

No way. Our founding fathers demanded us in the constitution to always question the government if corruption is evident... and boy is it evident!

Answer 10

Congress is controlled by the Democrats.
