Thanks for being one of the few voices of reason on this board, LV426. I had considered trying to respond to some of the unending attacks, but what's the use? It runs too deeply in their souls. As King Theoden says in the Two Towers, "What can men do against such reckless hate?" Apparently it means nothing to them that America has gone 2616 days without another terrorist attack within its borders. So safe has Bush made us from terrorists that they probably take that safety for granted by now. He inherited an Al Qaida organization that was at the peak of its power when he took office and now his successor inherits an Al Qaida that has been virtually dismantled. Today we struggle with trying to get the economy back on its feet. But the good news is, at least we still have an economy. If the terrorists had had their way, there wouldn't even be an America. Again, not to say that Bush hasn't made some mistakes, but thanks the the press, we all know about those already. |

Originally posted by LV426 Thank you for proving my point. NOT ONLY, do you spout outright falsehoods (if anyone lied, it's iether Saddam or the CIA, take your pick), but you have shown a complete UNWILLINGESS to show respect... and seem proud of such an attitude. I pray you are in the minority, but either way, your value shows through. Respect is earned, true... but it was earned by clearly making it into office (or do you want to downgrade Gore and Kerry in one fell swoop... after all, they failed to get in). And as such, I do believe Obama should ALSO get respect. But clearly you do not. If people treat him like crap, you have no right to complain.
So you're saying that if someone has a title....they deserve respect? Okay, so....since it takes quite a lot to become a priest and have the name "Father" or "Bishop," by your reasoning then, we should "respect" the priests that were caught molesting young boys in the church?? That sort of "reasoning" defies logic. Frankly....I think YOU are the one with issues here, not the people you're railing at for being "disrespectful." If you had any SELF-respect, you would realize that a TITLE does not earn one respect. I also agree with the poster that stated that lack of respect for someone and pure HATRED for them, are two entirely different things. But if you HEAR seething hostility from some Americans regarding Bush....there are myriads of reasons WHY they feel as they do. And yes....I think what you're hearing is a lack of respect....a very well EARNED lack of respect.

Respect for bush? -tries to stop laughing- phew...anyways, its not gonna happen, if you like him fine but most do not. Your wasting your time asking for respect for him, he has done nothing to deserve any type of respect ever, and he will go down in history as the worst president ever. I don't hate him, but he will never have my respect, not like he cares right? too busy rolling around in all the oil money. |
