My theory is that liberalism is the religion of envy.

Hell, the libs are ENVIOUS of GWB, because he's everything they wanted Clinton to be (moral, upright, strong, a role model).

Instead they had to create a President (Martin Sheen) so they could ignore the stink coming from the White House.

[q_an_a]

yes, that is a start.

What Makes the Bush Haters So Mad?

His Christianity.

Bingo, SkyPilot!

When I saw the question, that was the answer that immediately came to mind.

We are involved in great spiritual warfare, and George W. Bush represents to the Godless American left, the enemy.........righteousness, justice and most of all LIFE. That, IMO, is why they really hate him.

(I can't explain the freeper haters.......they make no sense at all......just mad at the world, I guess).

Marcus......are you from Ohio by any chance?

Thanks for the warning, but I lost all sense of fear years ago. Am well armed to boot.

Sure thing, Mr. Kaczynski.

Then, taking a look at other headlines this evening we see that yet another reason the "Bush haters" are so mad is because the Canadian government just betrayed Tokers Internationale with it's first pot sales.

Most FReepers think that our war on mrijuana is ridiculous. It's not just a liberal thing.

What makes the Bush haters so mad?

The R beside his name.

Analytical writers like this keep not mentioning that almost immediately after the swearing-in guys put away the Bible upon which Bush swore his oath of office, came the Chinese confrontation over our spy plane. IMO, that set the tone, showed what W was worth, and did much to prepare him and his team for the next Big Event, come that September.

Also, W went to Europe and fraternized with national leaders whose help we were going to need, making friends, using his charm and good will to develop these contacts, before we needed them. Coincidence? I think not. The man prays. He knows his God. He knows his mission. He has a charge to keep. And I thank God daily for him being in office. I pray for Four More Years.

"hate sessions"

lol. Hate Week and the daily Two Minutes Hate? I remember them fondly.

Those on the right side of the political aisle more often base their political views on ideas such as individual rights, limited government, and separation of powers. As a result, those on the right are more likely to view those on the left as mistaken or misguided than evil.

I don't know if I can agree with the above. Seems to me the leftists are trying to destroy everything that is pure and good and free about our country to replace it with some sort of nazi-communism amalgamation. I think they are true evil.

[johnb838]

of course he is going to crush any opponent

Note: He HAD no opponent for his re-election as Governor here in Texas.

Leftists are more inclined to utopianism and the notion of rule by an enlightened elite. The practical result is a dystopia in which individual rights are trampled. I think that most leftists genuinely believe that they can replace the traditional institutions they attack with something better. Their intentions are good, but they fail to see where a path so paved may lead. Once the institutions that provide checks and balances in society and government (and which provide an obstacle to the implementation of utopian schemes) are removed, it becomes easier for a demagogue to manipulate the emotions of the masses and satisfy his own lust for power.

I can tell you why they hate Bush. They worshipped Clinton and saw Gore as the best way to maintain the Clinton years without changing the Constitution. Bush put an end to that.

Its as simple as that.

[The Raven]

Hating Bush is a Ragin' Cagin' Carville tactic.....and it's working.

It's a script. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Petronski]

That's a very good analysis.

[lawdude]

The answer is just tooooooo easy.

The dems/socialist-communists are scared s**tless that the American public will come to put 2+2 together and come up with 4 (Plus interest).

They are afraid that the average 'murican will discover that the conservative program/agenda actually works.

Cutting taxes really does increase money into the coffers.
The NEA is really worthless.
Unions reduce productivity.
Communism doesn't work.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Rich people create jobs. No one ever got a job from a homeless man!
The only REAL function of the federal government is the Military.
A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT A SPENDING CUT.
The NOW does NOT represent any real women.
Squaw is NOT a demeaning word!
Sean Penn is a complete f'in idiot.
So is Barbra Streisand!

And so many, many more truths.

Eat a rock, Terry McAwful

[johnb838]

I will grant that many of them are genuinely duped.

[RedwM]

These people know in their hearts that clinton was a failure as a president. If GWB was to jaywalk we'd probably hear about it on the evening news. They would love to make GWB the 3rd impeached president. IMO.

His Christianity.


I agree. Remember when the ACLU bashed Bush at his inauguration because he had a Christian prayer?
