Why Do They Hate Us - Page 4

This has been very interesting communicating with a few of you in the last few days. I find it, not only an eye opener to the fact that liberals distort the truth for the most part, but also a little humorous.

It seems to me that this thread is going in circles and we just won't see eye to eye. What makes me sadder than anything is that I recognize the mindset. Instead of punishing bad behavior and rewarding good behavior, you feel that in order to not have a confrontation, we should reward bad behavior and punish good behavior. I'm sure you get my drift if you think about it. (Can't we all just get along?)

No, I didn't get paid for this, but thanks for the compliment. It's been fun, but I have better things to do. Maybe I'll catch you later if I'm bored.

Dito.

Straight out of Hannity's mouth. Does it ever occur or bother you that that is exactly what "liberals" (which these labels have got to go) say about "conservatives" or republicans or whatever.

Does it ever occur to you that perhaps both "sides" distort the truth? Hmmm?

Under your logic what does it mean when they say the same thing?

That that is obviously and absolute truth, or perhaps just the most important lie?

Rewarding bad behaivior??? It seems to me that it's "bad" behaivior to kill over 22850 iraqis, and it also seems like it's "bad" not to bother to count the number of iraqis we kill in the war that we started. Or maybe it's "bad" to take away over 2 million jobs in four years, or to tell the american public that they shouldn't discriminate against blacks or latinos but discrimination against gays, lesbians, and muslims is perfectly acceptable.

and I know that i'm not rewarding or supporting any of these practices.

All praise be to Mr. Bush who lied to congress and sent us to war.

If it were up to me, I think Bush should go to Iraq and don a helmet and be the real war president.

You don't understand my mindset, because I'm convinced that Mr. Bush should go to prison for life. Like someone recently taged on my blog - he is the Anti Christ for sure.

Agreed, but still he manages to convince slightly more than 50% of the US population that he is doing a phenominal job. ARE WE DENSE? Seriously though, what kind of person trusts FOX News over PBS, or the BBC?

i beleive i am quickly losing faith in the american people's ability to make intelligent and/or good judgments.

No - he's loosing

as of Jul 17, 2005

44% approve
48% dissaprove
8% unsure

But I'm under the impression that he doesn't care.

thank god, now if only the other 52% would change their minds, we could get him impeached.
