Does bush deserve to have a shoe thrown at him?

Do you think Bush should be hit with a shoe.

  • Yes.

    Votes: 29 45.3%
  • No.

    Votes: 35 54.7%

  • Total voters
    64
...........Yes.

Doesn't mean the guy who threw it shouldn't have been carried out and beaten for his assault on our President. But this is the world we live in now. Half of America is full of citiziens who merely breath American air with no sense of respect towards office and another half too eager to refuse proper analyzation of a situation.

Most vets that do not agree with Bush and his war fear speaking out in public about it because they fear for their family about death threats and such. :(





:lol: really? prove this. I think someone is telling a lie.....
 
But this is JUST your opinion; would you be okay if someone made up lies and distortions about Obama?

No, it's not just MY opinion, it's the opinion of the majority of the planet. But thanks for playing anyhow.
 
Agree. I hope it does not appear as if I have no respect for life:3oops:

unfortunately, respect for life includes respect for president bush and an appreciation of his human dignity, regardless of your opinion of his character or his leadership. you have certainly given the impression that you possess neither.

All human beings possess intrinsic worthiness and deserve unconditional respect, regardless of age, sex, health status, social or ethnic origin, political ideas, religion, or criminal history. In other words, this respect is owed to every individual by the mere fact that he or she is a "member of the human family" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, Preamble). This intrinsic worthiness is widely recognized by international law as the source of all human rights.
 
What rights have you lost under President Bush?

Do not ask that question to anyone who has lost a son in daughter in Iraq !
If man continues in his greedy, hateful ways, more than rights will be lost..

Hate to generalize any more than has already been going on in this thread, but I bet most of them are proud of their child's sacrifice for their country.
 
Respect is something that should be earned not freely given.

I disagree. Respect for the Office of President of the United States should ALWAYS be given.

Presidents have done FAR WORSE than Bush... Far Worse.

Harding with lack of control over the Market leading to the Great Depression and Teapot Dome.
LBJ for escalating the Vietnam War too epic proportions, killing millions more than Bush will ever do.
Reagan for de-regulating the S&L's and Iran/Contra, bankrupting millions of people and thousands of S&L's.
Nixon for Watergate and illegal bombing of Cambodia and North Vietnam, again, killing millions and absolutely invading other nations illegally.
Grant and Crédit Mobilier & the Whiskey Ring.
Clinton and lying to Congress, Whitewater... a Federal Offense AND leaving Somalia like a coward, giving OBL the Green Light to target the cowardly Americans with no back bone starting all of this crap that Bush is trying to mop up. Blame Clinton, not Bush please...

Keep it in perspective please, if Bush should be out, then most presidents should be out.
Give Obama time... the stats indicate that he will break some laws and do some nasty **** of his own.

Wow, glad you beat me to that one. That was probably one of the most ridiculous things I've heard on this forum.

I agree and will let you and Hatuey speak for me on this one.

But what RIGHTS have been lost?

Sorry, but somebody that joins the military that fights in a war and dies is not a "Right".
I understand being angry, and wanting to blame somebody...
...but there is no blame to be had. The kid joined voluntarily. *shrugs*

Sorry, that is just how it is. now, about those lost rights?

One makes the best of a bad situation, of course; but I'd wager that all of them would rather have their children alive again, at any cost.

Yes and no. I want my kids to live far longer than me, but if they did die protecting/saving the lives of others and for a cause, then I would respect what they did and not want them alive over the lives of others or the just cause out of my own selfishness. That is just me.

I have personally saved the lives of two people and helped in saving many more.
My parents feel as I do when I told them about these instances and I have had other parents and friends agree.

I think it's hard to speculate about such things when your kids are little.
It's... theoretical.
It doesn't seem real.
Get back to me when you are actually faced with one of your children entering the military during wartime.

I guess that I am combining what I think now with what my parents and other parents have said. I seem to agree with them and I don't see how that would change.

I wouldn't want them to join the military, but if they did, I would strongly urge OCS or a Tech type, not a grunt.

Privacy is one. It's now noted that "normal" or "general" Americans have been spied on via phone tapping. Some think this is no big deal, but I certainly do.

Stats indicated that about a million have been spied upon internationally, and most of those were people NOT in the USA. Even those in the USA had potential terror ties and very few were "normal".

Can't argue with that.

Seriously? I've never heard this.
 
Fresh on the news stands this week:

The Whistleblower Who Exposed Warrantless Wiretaps | Newsweek National News | Newsweek.com

A synopsis from another website:

This weekend, Newsweek published the remarkable saga of Thomas M. Tamm, a former prosecutor in the Department of Justice who saw evidence of illegal domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens. When his questions to superiors went unanswered, Tamm decided to blow the whistle -- calling the New York Times from a pay phone. James Risen and Eric Lichtblau eventually won the Pulitzer Prize for their work in uncovering the scandal that touched the highest levels of our government.

The Risen and Lichtblau investigation sparked another important development: it showed former AT&T employee Mark Klein the context of the work he did in a secret room in San Francisco. Mr. Klein decided the time had come for him to blow the whistle himself. His evidence formed the backbone of our class-action lawsuit against AT&T.

But this whistleblowing does not come without risk. The Newsweek article includes a harrowing account of an FBI raid on Tamm's home. And he is still worried about facing legal charges for his actions. But without Tamm, America may have never learned about this massive illegal spying by the National Security Agency, and we all owe him our thanks.
