Whoa, nice personal attack I'll remember that one when I go back to middle school in the fall.
Actually, the additional 's' was intentional in your case. But, for someone so obsessed with labeling those that beg to differ as brainless dope smokers, you sure sound funny getting uptight over being called out on acting and writing like a child. Petulent sarcasm doesn't improve your standing either.
Wait, I don't even remember middle school ... those must have been a long 2 weeks that just passed. Also, you misspelled asinine. Do we need to go back to school and learn some more of that there spelling?
Mea culpa. Trying to type fast with large hands does result in the errant typo from time to time. Does this mean you want to know about your improper grammar in your initial third sentence?
What I don't get is how so many things can be blamed on one man
I agree that there are a lot of innane accusations thrown the president's way, but in regards to the actual topic of the thread, this can fairly be put in his lap. Whether you like it or not, the buck stops
there. If you want to piss and moan about the far left trying to peg global warming or other nonsense on Bush, then by all means create a thread about it.
You all give him far too much credit regarding what he can, and can't do as president.
Oh where to begin! First of all, the only people who seem to have the powers of the president exaggerrated in their minds is well, the president and neoconservative lapdogs like yourself who support him. For the actual powers of office, I'll defer to the Constitution and concept of 'checks and balances,' you can recite whatever party-line mantra is in vogue these days. You know, whatever makes you feel the most patriotic. I'm also less concerned with what he can't do, than I am with what he
shouldn't be doing. Elective wars which rely on deception to be sold (and make us less safe) count for quite
un-presidential behavior in my book. Your mileage may vary.
If we were going to follow the cause and effect idea (i.e. that Bush in one way or another inadvertently caused everything he is being blamed for), then every single one of us can be blamed to an equal extent! There is no country without us is there? No president without citizens? Oh yes, we are here to live and make money, like an old lady sitting in a nursing home complaining about how bad the food is.... Be thankful you have food!
No, that would be taking 'cause and effect' to an unrealistic, almost silly level as it would require every single one of us to have voted for Bush
and approve of
HIS decision to invade Iraq. You can't be
that confused as to think that, do you? As for the rest of your straw-woven babble, while I can kinda see what you're trying to imply, the analogy is piss poor at best and certainly irrelevent.
This might be what is happening in this country these days, though. Some people feel guilty for supporting this government in the past, and they don't want to admit they were wrong, so someone must be blamed. Lets blame someone high-profile! Oh yes, Bush works! We don't really like him anyways, and it is easy to connect him to everything since he is the president.
It is simply mind-boggling that you cannot correlate the situation in Iraq to criticism of how Iraq is being handled. The POTUS being high-profile is irrelevent, one more time
IT WAS HIS DECISION!
You apologists are too funny. If only this were all about a blow-job huh?
So, now we have millions of people jumping on this bandwagon, which was started by the far left, and joined by those above. (Please don't tell me you are so naive as to think people are not influenced by public opinion, and there is no such thing as the bandwagon effect.)
Oh look, another attempt to duhvert. *yawn* I believe historical facts and hard numbers ultimately sway more people than public opinion. That's as far as I'll indulge your pathetic sidetrack.
They think - "Well my neighbor doesn't like Bush, and most of my other friends don't, and the popular media sure doesn't, so why should I.... Well, I guess I can see their point (if I turn a blind eye to really thinking through the issues)." And on and on it goes. You have a few people who truly believe what they are saying, and others who just jump on the BBB (Bush Bashing Bandwagon).
Uh oh, I think maybe a craptastic approval rating has been interfering with someone's sleep schedule! A Bush supporter talking about another turning a blind eye! LOL, hoooooot!!!! For a laugh of that caliber, I forgive you for making me spill my beer. :thumbsup:
Welcome to the world in which we live today. Here, in America, we can disrespect anyone we want, anytime we want, any way we want!
No welcome necessary, I've been here (longer than you I'll wager) for awhile, and despite traveling and living abroad for many years, I'd rather be in the USA than anywhere else. You can try to wax eloquent all you want, but ultimately it's you who is putting party ahead of country as long as you dismiss all criticism of the POTUS as part of a left vs. right argument.
Long live freedom of speech. (No, seriously!)
Hey look, we agree on something. :thumbsup:
