To announce that there must be No Criticism of  the president, \nOr that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, \nis not only unpatriotic and servile, \nbut is morally treasonable to the  American public.\n\n— Theodore   Roosevelt\n\n\nGo Ahead And Fire Me

Yes!! He is a moron and doesn't pay attention to the opinions of the majority of the American people (not including the opinions of people in other countries). \n\nWhen you search "hate george bush" on Google you get almost 13 MILLION results!!!\n\nJust look at the statistics and you'll know:

I think Bush should be banned from any more public appearances.  He just keeps making himself look worse and worse.  For a leader of a country he sure is dorky.  He has got us into such a mess.  Lets file federal charges, and see if we can get him banned.  He should be held accountable for interrupting our lives whenever he wants. If we interrupted his, you can bet he would file charges on us.

there are jobs that dont make it worthwhile for some americans to take.  People on welfare make more in welfare than they would it they work, the system here needs to be changed.  Unions make it hard to hire employees who might do these jobs; prisoners, kids, etc.  companies that have to pay health care, insurance, etc for legal workers.  I think what bush means is that its bad for the companies profits not to be able to hire illegals, pay them low wages, give them no benefits, and tell them to get lost when the work is done.

There was a similar conversation going on within yahoo 360. I, being an American, can do nothing more than agree with you on most points. I don't know that I would go as far as to say that as a whole we are worse than Hitler, but I have mentioned to several that I work with that I feel, our President Bush is modern days version of Hitler. \n\nI think, unfortunately, that most (not all) foreigners don't realize that most (not all) Americans don't like the man either! His approval rating as of yesterday was 33%. That's pretty bad. We don't like that he seems to be a bully to others and don't like that we are as a whole viewed as believing the way he does. The argument can be made that "we" re-elected the man. I understand that, although I did not. I didn't vote for him either time. I think the general thought at the time, was that he started something we better let him finish it, since (in theory) he should know what he's doing. Ha!\n\nAs far as history is concerned. I can't argue that either. But again, like every other country that is judged, and they all are, the country as a whole does not necessarily believe the same as their leaders do. I think in the beginning they put on a good "show" and are then elected into leadership. Whom ever puts on the best show wins the "prize". It sucks.\n\nMy response in the discussion to the blog was similar to what is here. I also said that I really hope that someday people just learn to accept others for what they are and what they believe. There is no right or wrong way. There is only what people believe is best for them. That includes democracy! It might be OK for us, but not for others. Our way is not necessarily the "best" way. I just wish everyone could leave everyone else alone.

absolutely yes. Think of it. a person burns an inanimate piece of colored cloth, and half the population goes ballistic; basically because of their insecurities. You want to burn a piece of cloth - what the hell do I care. to react any differently is to give you control over me, and I ain't about to do that. But most of you knee-jerk americans can be controlled in this way, because you do not have the gift of independent thought.

off-course its illegal,you cant fire someone because off there politic opinions.if they took a day of work to attend then you can take disciplinary action as normal for lack of attendance,however you can only fire them if they have received previous verbal and written warnings.

Make like Donald Trump and say "You're Fired!"

Probably in US you can be fired for breathing. In New Zealand large numbers of workers belong to unions to protect their rights. You can't get fired immediately for that.

I agree. He should be fired. Hello, you teach geography. If you can't keep you radical left wing politics to yourself in geography class, good bye. Political debate should have some place in a high school student's teachings, but it should be open minded and done in a Government class.\n\nAdditionally, using Hitler as a comparison is so weak minded. Hitler almost has no equal in evil. The planned extermination of a whole population of people, which he was able to kill around 6 million of them, is beyond compare. This doesn't include the "undesireables" he killed, such as the old, the lame, the mentally retarded, the drug addicts, and the insane. \n\nYou can hate Bush all you want and disagree with everything he has to stand for, but using Hitler is a fool's comparison. It shows just how out of whack someone's thinking is saying they are comparable.

Oh, here is an original question.\n\nDo you honestly think that the President of the United States is an idiot?  He may not be the brightest person on the planet, but he is a damn site better than either of his opponents were/are.\n\nIt seems to me that the people who are so critical of the job he is doing should do something.  Offer a suggestion, talk to their elected representatives or better yet, run for office and see how well they do.\n\nI would venture a guess that the job isn't as easy as you think it is.  There are far more important issues at stake than what is on the surface.\n\nAnd calling the president an idot is the same as calling everyone who voted for him an idot. . . do you really want to go there?  It shows a lack of smarts on your part to suggest something like this.\n\nEurope and the rest of the world should stay out of US politics and concentrate on their own problems (and don't try to tell me that there aren't any.  I only need to point to France, Germany and a few others).

By all means yes you do. And i also think if a person gets fired u also have the right to know why. My friend got fired today, and the only thing she got was. We are letting you go. It's best for the company.

I feel very angry about what Bush has done to our reputation around the world.  It is something that really concerns me.  But, and this is a big but, I believe you are wrong about the American people and our government.  The American people ARE the government, in a very real sense.  We elect and we reject.  We are free to speak out and criticize our government and our President if we feel they are screwing up, and thankfully can effect change fairly easily compared to most governments.  You can see from our polls (yes, polls are notorious but when they all agree it's good to pay attention to them) that the majority of the American people do not approve of the job that Bush is doing.  We can support our troops and still be unhappy about the reasons they are there.  \n\nWe will change the tide by voting, it is our most precious freedom, IMO.  Apathy keeps many Americans at home during the mid-term elections, but I feel this time around we will see a big surge at the polls in the Democratic favor.  I have to say, as unhappy as I am with the Bush Administration, I bristled when I read your opening statement.  It just isn't true, we are the sum of all of our parts in this democratic republic.  We will continue to respond harshly to terrorists and their threats, whether our government is headed by a Republican or a Democrat.  Guantanomo Bay?  It's unfortunate and there's house cleaning to be done, but we have a right to detain those who are a threat to our national security.  We learned on 9/11 what it means to remain complacent and have a false sense of security.  We won't make that mistake again.

Hey, let him drive you, and also get the chance to win the pot.  He won't know who you vote for, and most likely all of the intelligent workers will vote against the guy in question.  The dumber ones will think they have to vote for the guy.  But that;s lfe, and why we have Bush.

There is a law against threatening the president but condoning it is another thing. The United States has freedom of speech and I don't think it is illegal to say that he deserved it  because everyone has different feelings and opinions about the president. If you are right then we do not have any freedom of speech rights in the US.
