| Bush has got to be the person people love to hate. I mean, if you hate the guy so much, why do you keep talking about him??? To fuel your hatred? To make yourself feel better?? that post about killing bush and others like it are just rediculous. I usually try and keep people I don't like out of my head, I don't constantly think about them, or how to kill them. |

Many from smaller countries around the world hate Bush/the USA because they're not at the top of the food chain like the USA is.
I experienced a similar attitude in East Seoul. The kids there were middle-class kids who felt they deserved to be counted among Seoul's elite. They were c_cky, arrogant, and had a superiority complex.
They were absolutely the worst kids to teach because they "knew it all."
But in reality, they were 2nd best, and many of them sucked. It wasn't their location that made them 2nd best, or the education they were getting -- it was their attitude.
Besides, I suppose if these anti-Bush/anti-US people started posting articles about Canadian politicians, for example, then few would care to read it. It would be boring. Why? Because nobody cares to read news that doesn't matter. It's always easier to hate someone else for anything/everything than it is to face your own problems. And one of the things that burns these anti-US/Bush-haters the most is the fact that their opinion is worth virtually squat on a global scale for the mere reason that they are where they are from.
Don't believe me? Ask how many of them wish they could have voted against Bush in the last election, however they couldn't because they weren't from the USA. All of them did. But they couldn't vote. Their opinion didn't matter because they weren't a part of the USA.
So what else is there to do? Bitch, moan, complain, whine, and wallow in your own self-pity, I guess.

Why did so many people hate Clinton? Why did they hate him so much to impeach him over lying about having oral sex with another woman?
Just part of the territory of being President. |

First of all, gotta hand it to you. You LOVE the guy, per your own post.
He has more power than virtually anyone in the world, he's about to try to overturn Roe v. Wade, and you're asking why people talk about him?
What exactly are you suggesting?
That we go to sleep until 2008 and enjoy the remains of the torch-job he's already done on the economy, civil liberties, and our international standing?
If you're so tired, why don't you stop talking about homosexuals?
They don't affect you.
Bush affects me.
If you're tired, then go to bed. |

I just looked and that thread you mention isn't here. Didn't get a chance to look at it, but from the title, it's just the kind of thing that would show up on the database peekers at the NSA.
The content was likely a lot of people telling the OP what a fricking idiotic kind of topic that is to post, the world being what it is right now. Titles are what shows up first on those kind of software, you know ... then again, I'm not sure how much people around here are aware of how much the US govt has invested in the internet and what tools are being used in the "War Against Terrorism."
I don't blame the mods if they deleted it. It was a really naive kind of thing to post. How anonymous to you guys think you are here? Come down to it, they were protecting you as well as the site ...
Anyway, I'd rather hate to love a guy - how I felt about Clinton - than love to hate a president who has done so much wrong to my country. To paraphrase Reagan's second-term slogan : Are we better off than we were at this start of this administration?
Duh. I don't hink so. |

You missed my point, no surprise there. You do reinforce the stereotype of conservatives being quite ignorant and biogetd though.
And before any other conservatives jump on me for that generalization, i did say STEREOTYPE (ie I don't really think conservatives have any special claim to those two traits). |

What can't I ask him? Don't you have any interest in his opinion? I was merely curious.
And since you brought up Sistani, on a religious scale comparing the Left and the Right of the Muslim party, would you draw a parallel between Sistani and Bush, or Bin Laden and Bush? Or Zarkawi (I forget how to spell his name) and Bush? Which of the above-mentioned names would you call conservative and which would you say were not within their own religious faiths?
Of those Muslims who are not considered conservative, what do you feel their viewpoints would be on such issues as: oral sex, education for women, a woman's right to vote?
You could at least compare apples to oranges, mith, and c'mon.... I'm throwing you a bone here -- giving you the opportunity to call Bush a radical over-conservative Bible-beater (or whatever words you'd like to call him). |

I don't like the term bible-beater. They pick and choose little snippets of the bible rather than beat it as a whole.
You also know well I hate the terms left and right.
I think I'm going to take a pass on the opportunity to compare an Ayatollah, the president of the US and two terrorists using terms I never use. |

The President is suppose to be someone of intelligence and charisma, a person who can think on his feet, has a way with words and makes decisions that are just and credible.
If the US President was just another polly, who had no more influence than Tony Blair or John Howard then it wouldn't be such a talking focal point, but unfortunalty this man is the leader of the free world and he makes decisions that affect every person on this planet.
I would much rather have a person who had to fight to get where he is today, learning every step along the way, rising to the top from the bottom of the ladder, (enough cliches for ya  ) than someone who was handed it to him because his father was the President and his brother is a Governor, and he's the biggest dumba$$ President the US has had so far. |
