Dissent is the cornerstone of a free republic. If the administration is screwing up royally, then we have full right and duty to call them on it and hold them accountable. They are OUR employees, we elect them to represent US.

It isn't about President Bush, anymore than it was about Former President Clinton when he was in office.\n\nWe have people in the U.S.A. and outside the country who have confused name-calling, rumor-spreading, and undermining the country in the eyes of the World community\n\nfor\n\ndissent, disagreement, and protest.\n\nThey do not know the difference and are being seditious.\n\nWhat is worse, most of us have been silent about it, or even voted for the ones who do it.\n\nI'm a Democrat.  I strongly urge all U.S.A. citizens to stand together against this kind of behavior.  Disagree!  But be U.S.A. citizens, first.\n\nSee those who wish to destroy our constitution, attack capitalism, attack democracy, attack religion, attack our elected officials (even the ones who act criminally) as the real enemies of our country.  Take action.  Respect their free speech, but ANSWER THEM every time.  When politicians do these seditious things, don't vote for them.  When they act criminally, wait until they are CONVICTED, then never vote for them.  Stop condemning the elected officials and never let anyone convince our children (as some are trying) that our government is bad, "big brother", or whatever.  WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT!\n\nIF you stand up against them, they won't be able to hate our Presidents with impunity.  They will be alone, and know it.\n\nThere's a lot more of us, than them.  Join us.  Don't call them names.  Don't join them, but call them on their behavior everytime.

Those people are stuck in the same situation that we americans are,they are being fed propaganda,and fear!Unfortunatly they have alot to fear as they should know by now,that our president is unstable,not very bright,drunk on his own power,and liable to do just about anything,makes no matter how many people he kills or how much money he wastes,how stupid his explainations are,or if anyone believes him at all,he is going to do,what he is going to do, and nobody,not even his momma, can tell him, or make him do otherwise..we ina sad shape,Maynard!!

You make a very good point. It is NOT American to hate America, however certain people think it's in vogue now. The PC, Bush is Hitler, 9/11 was inside job crowd. How can a person really believe these things and continue to live here? Why is it that everyone else on the planet can be proud of their "homeland" but us?

I do not agree with the war in iraq! I think we should get out of that country. George Bush has not been a good representation of us as a country! I do not think he should have ever been president. I know what u mean about our rights in this country being violated with the surveillence fo the average u.s. citizen. It is wrong for the government to be in our lives. They can harrass us and follow us and do what they want to us and misuse the information and then it is illegal but how do we stop it? We get conned into beleiving that its ok to have cameras at every intersection on our roads but what if u were having an affair or maybe u wanted to have a relationship with someone and they didnt agree and seen u can they make trouble? That's just an example but that concerns me too. I know that that information can be use illegally and NO ONE does anything about it. WHY? Because we were talked into giving up our rights in this country by politicians under the idea that we would be more protected. Crime still goes on and people are still getting hurt and it doesn't help. It just gives them another way to spy on us.

I myself do not feel anyone should leave America for their free speech, but when they bash America so much and so hard it seems they don't want to be here. It all just hurts so much!!

Grow up and get a clue. Impeaching him would not get our troops home. I have friends there and they are glad they are. I get pictures weekly of all of the great things we are accomplishing there. You know the media only has bad things to say you don't hear or see all of the great things that are taking place there because we have a president that has the guts to take care of what needs to be taken care of.

I do not. I am an American and DO NOT like him, whatsoever.

He's my president, I might not like everything he and his administration are doing, but we have to put up a united front so that we won't appear weak to other countries. We don't want other countries laughing at us now. Do we?

I agree with you. But since you live in America, you also must know that we are never happy. We need to b*tch about something all the time. This President makes it so easy for us to do it.  No matter what people say, this country is a great place to live. Due to the greatness of this country, we also have the privillege of saying whatever things we like about our "great" leader. \n\nOne side note: It does not matter who the president is. America will alwasy b*tch about him or her.

Unfortunately, the general populace's lack of interest in politics, its complete apathy, failure to vote, to find out what is really going on in this country, has lead to the intolerable situation we find ourselves in right now.\n\nI'm sure that not every public official is a bad person; the law of probability alone does not allow it.  However, the average American citizen does not know much about his/her local and national officials, the pressing issues of the day, laws, etc.\n\nTherefore, we now take what we are told at face value, do not question anything for fear of bashing/retribution, and accept what the press and politicians tells us - the webs of lies craftly spun to keep us ignorant, in the name of "National Security".  The abuse of power is blatant and appalling.\n\nNot only are we at war, but foreign countries have bought much of our important domestic assets, our privacy is basically non-existant, we are denounced as traitors if we dare question laws such as the Patriot Act, our phones are being tapped, our e-mail messages and regular mail read, etc.\n\nIt is terrible, scary, and indecent.  Our country was founded precisely because our forefathers decried the intrusion of their mother country into their personal affairs.  How ironic then, that those who now try to preserve those Unalienable Rights, the same ones safeguarded and preserved with the blood of countless men, women, and children throughout our history, we are denounced as anti-American and told that if we don't like it, we should leave.\n\nThe signers of the Declaration of Independence must be rolling over in their graves.  What a tragedy.  It makes me very sad.

You have rattled allot of folks in here.My hat off to you.If I had a choice to report the abuse yes I would choose to do so.I know many people are divided in what they choose to believe or not believe,but look at all the horrible things that have happened over the past 6 years.I believe it speaks for itself.When will we as Americans be free of the follies of the government and the Presidents who do not care about their own people.I am not just saying Bush is to blame I am stating he has become one of the many problems we face now.

there are many reasons that people hate america. imagine you were say a 10 year old in afghanistan. you just are living your life, you have done absolutely NOTHING wrong, and then the U.S. starts bombing your country. why do they do this... only because the u.s. are extremely oil dependant and greedy!! now i am not talking about al-quaida or anything, but the sentiment in the middle east and many other areas in the world is at a gigantic low since president bush was elected. the u.s. is not what it used to be, a country that helped out others in time of need, but they governed by power crazy men.

It's SUPPOSED to be a democracy, and we're fighting to get back to some semblance of a free country.  You're supposed to voice your opinion when you don't like how things are going, that's how it works.

There will be a lot of flaming going on once there are several answers, but people in America have the absolute right to say whatever they want - that's protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Therefore, we can criticize the president as much as we please. As far as his policies are concerned, I disagree with 95% of them, so I won't get into that...
