If I’m terrorized by the way Bush is running the country, doesn’t that make Bush a terrorist?

Answer 1

You should be ashamed of yourself! How dare you compare your experiences to what the real victims of terrorists have experienced!

Answer 2

The case can be made that he is a terrorist, but not for the reason you mention. The word describes an objective phenomenon, and your terror , however well-founded, is purely subjective.

Here's the definition:


"Terrorism:
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons."

We have threatened to use, and subsequently used force on George Bush's orders and against international law, for political and ideological reasons. End of story.

On a different note, the trick is to not let the terrorists terrorize you. This involves altering your perception to avoid being subjectively terrorized, despite the objective fact of terrorist acts.

Answer 3

Please explain...How exactly is President Bush terrorizing you? Does the fact that you posted your question make you completely incompetent? Does it make you less intelligent? Here's the best part about living in the United States of America...if you don't like the way things are going you can vote for a change at the next election (I'm thinking total Republican sweep of the House, Senate, and Presidency). If that doesn't work for you, you could always emigrate to another (perhaps socialist) country. I'm sure you'd fit in quite nicely in France, or China...hey Delta's ready when you are.

Edit: But to answer your question, no it doesn't make Bush a terrorist, but it does make you a liberal tool.

Answer 4

Well, since terrorism is a tactic to terrify people into submission, I'd say the constant terror alerts, the water bottle scares, the "mushroom cloud" images, the neverening stories about this or that ridiculous "cell" they just broke up, and not to mention the national ID cards (coming to a fascist American police state near you in May 2008), makes your assertion not only justified but absolutely correct.

Does anyone remember America?

Answer 5

By Bush's own deliberately non-specific definition of the word it does. He has used that word in such a way that it almost has no particular meaning, and is identified with no specific "enemy." Therefore, anyone who wishes to scare you by the use of force is a terrorist according to his own non-definition. His first use of fear was his fascist statement that "you are either with us or you are against us." That meant that anyone who disagreed with his policies was on the side of the "enemy," even Americans! At first, when he received great support from Americans after 9/11, this did not make too many people uncomfortable here, but as his popularity has plummeted, and he and Cheney still use the same words, more and more Americans are on the receiving end of his violent language. If you don't support them you are a traitor to their "war on terror."
Now that it is clear he is bankrupting the nation, destroying Iraq for Exxon and Halliburton, has erased the border with Mexico for his North American Union ( cheap labor for business ) Treaty, etc., more and more Americans are scared of this President and his "Plundering Herd," to say nothing of how millions of Arabs, and people round the world view him. Many people in the world consider GWB the world's most dangerous man, and the world's biggest terrorist. You are definitely not alone in your feelings!

Answer 6

Of course Bush is a terrorist! He's based his entire presidency on terrorizing the American people - and reading the people above me on the list, I can see it's worked - they're even afraid to speak out against the monster. Or has he made that a crime, too?

Answer 7

I'm pretty sure you would disagree with the government no matter who was in office because you think it's cool too. Grow up, come down off the cross, use the wood to build a bridge, and get over it.

Answer 8

No. It just means you haven't mastered the skill of critical thinking and rely upon others to do your thinking for you.

Answer 9

That question is a good example of why our education system in the USA needs a lot of help. Illogical (no!).

Answer 10

The Bush Administration uses fear to control people; it is a terrorist organization.
