People are allowed and should question the President and the government and they ARE allowed to have their own opinion and disagree with the President, fight back and protest if they think this will better their country. Why are the Conservatives trying to stifle dissent against the government?

The only ones who do that are Republican Bush-bots. Independent conservatives openly disagree with George Bush on many issues. Why do you think the illegal immigration amnesty bill failed? It was because of conservatives that spoke out against Bush.
Michael Savage for example is an extremely conservative talk show host. He got the "Freedom of speech award" from Talkers magazine for speaking out against George Bush when no other "conservatives" in the media would. He has time and time again called Bush the worst commander in chief in history.

I don't know... I am a Conservative, and I disagree with a lot of the things President Bush does....In fact sometimes I really wonder if Pres. Bush really is a conservative. He does some really bone headed things. If I didn't know any better, I would think his loyalty is to the "New World Order" and tearing down American sovereignty...A true Conservative would be trying to stifle the Government itself, rather than dissident against it...
***Perhaps the answer to your question would be that they really are NOT conservative, either (Bush's cronies) They are probably more loyal to the New World Order, like Pres. Bush is..****

Conservatives aren't saying it is a terrible thing to disagree with Bush. Sometimes we disagree, too. What we do object to is the lying and exaggerations of the truth. President Bush is not guilty of making everything wrong with this Country. We all want the Country to operate better and to be the best place that it can be. We have a wonderful Country and many freedoms. We don't want the Dems to continue to make it difficult to get the equipment required to fight the war. We cannot just leave Iraq; it must be done in the proper manner. We are tired of hearing all the lies about nothing going well in Iraq when there are many successes. We are worried about our welfare when the Dems are willing to provide so called "free health care" for everyone including all the illegals. We don't want the illegals coming here and getting social security benefits, driving licenses and the ability to vote when they are breaking the law. They are receiving more in health care benefits than my own family gets while I am working 3 jobs. I don't want to give the government the ability to make the decisions in my life that I should be making for myself. Hillary wants to raise taxes everywhere so that everyone gets all the benefits she is planning on giving and that will put the USA in the poorhouse. It would be nice if the Dems and Libs would give the Conservatives a break now and then. All the lies and false press make it difficult to move in any direction. It used to be that the parties would work together for the best of the Country. That cannot be said anymore.

Republicans don't. Conservatives don't. Actually just last week there was a huge backlash against the president from some of the most notoriosly hated (by liberals) conservatives out there. I'm talking of course about the talk radio - led by none other than Rush Limbaugh.
The issue at hand was President Bush supported pulling a convicted illegal alien from death row on the grounds that the Vienna Treaty was violated by his not being given council of the mexican government. Rush and Co. (most of the usual conservative names, Savage, hannity, etc), were appauled by this. Point being, republicans fight amongst themselves all the time, even in the face of W.
Careful with generalizations.

I'm a conservative and have disagreed with him before.
Liberals only think that we make a terrible thing to disagree.
What is a terrible thing is the way you choose to voice your disagreements. Usually through hate filled rhetoric and name calling.
But again, simply because you disagree doesn't mean that everyone does, and just as you have a right to dissent, I have just as much right to voice my opinion of concurrence if I so choose to.
The problem occurs when liberals disagree with the President then get angry when someone disagrees with their position. Look above at the liberal answers, for the most part they are angry, condescending and full of immature name calling.
That's my opinion anyway. Your results may vary,

This is the tactic used by their idol and role model as quoted here:
Naturally the common people don't want war . . . but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along. . . . All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

this isnt descent, it isnt even common sense. its a mad race toward socialism that left decency out the window long ago.
in such a short time we now have
757gate
the jefferson bribery scandal
tne non taxpaying territorial vote grant
the ridiculous pelosi stunt in syria
the ridiculous harry reid all nighter
36000 unrelated carded pork spending requests authored and approved by pelosi without debate...peanut storage...cmon
hillary healthcaregate...two
its kinda obvious where this government is heading and why the 11 percent approval rating is there
and the truly sad part about it is now we are subject to a revisit of the clinton..."legacy". how much more do we need to endure.

I am an isolationist and close to what many would consider a conservative.
I don't agree with everything that Bush says and does mainly because I don't consider him a traditional conservative but, I don't go off the deep end of rationality and blame the guy for things like the weather or say that he hates Americans and wants to see them all die along with everyone who can be identified as a cilivilian in a war zone or that he is irrational or that he's dumb or racist or mean spirited or organized the 9-11 attacks or that he's listening to my phone conversations and reading my junk mail.
Questioning the man is one thing but, running around waving your hands in the air bouncing off the walls screaming he's a criminal worthy of execution is quite another.

I don't know of any conservative that wants to stifle debate we just don't want to give unfounded ammunition to our enemies. United we stand divided we fall. Even if you disagree with this war you should still support our troops and the commander in chief because we are there and can't leave yet. If we leave or lose this war your way of life is over.

They don't.
Conservatives have been critics of Bush's & the Democrats Spending.
It started with the Education Bill of Bush/Kennedy. A Kennedy Hoax that Bush fell for.
BUT ..... Conservatives defend Bush against the Democrats that Hate America.
And Democrats that Support the Terrorists.
And we don't like the Terrorists that Support the Democrats.
Get informed. Don't be just another GULLIBLE Democrat.
People laugh at you.
