Is Bush loyal to America?

bush is not loyal to america, he is only loyal to all the oil rich countries, tony blair, and anyone else in this world that lines his pockets and practices the same deceitful acts as he does. bush is a disgrace to the United States of America he should be exiled from our fair country because he is not honorable enough to call himself an american.

I take it that you Americans do not like your president.  What is there not to like about Bush?  He has kept his pants on and he has kept from being shot.  I am from canada and I like Mr. Bush.  So what, he went to war a few times.  Canada has not followed him all the time.  We only have a small army so we have to be careful where we put our very small army in this world.  There are people here in canada who want a even smaller army.  Imagine that!

I support President Bush.  I respect his office, I believe in his character, I believe he is one of our great presidents.

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.

I for one, don't dislike Americans. As a matter of fact, I have no reason to, since I know only a few and those I do know, I count among my best friends. So, for me, Americans have a very good track record! \n\nI am not very happy with Bush and the way things are going (or not) with foreign policy. But that is quite a different matter and I believe, anyway, that over half of American people are just as uneasy about the Bush administration as I am.\n\nNo doubt we shall have to wait and see what happens at the next election

The vehemence with which the "loyal" opposition has opposed George Bush from the moment he won the nomination to the very present is not in any way normal behavior for a group or class of people. It seems to me there is a link-step mentality at play whereby no righteous democrat can admit the right of President Bush to his office. This is a dangerous thing. This hatred has tainted the entire country aided by the media and the talking heads of the left as they spread the notion that Bush is not  legitimate. People who do not analyze the source or content of the news they receive take it at face value and their perception is skewed against Bush, the War in Iraq, and just about anything else the democrats in their angry rant to regain power broadcast against the President. These same individuals then are not just cry babies-- twice defeated by what they consider unfair elections-- they're a dangerous element in an open society where dissent is meant to have some purpose or reason other than vindication and self-aggrandizement. Should the democrats regain power in the next election, you can be sure the same people who did not fairly consider what they saw or read will rue the day. I believe that, for all of this hate, which must affect him, President Bush has been a "President of all the people," one who does not kowtow to pundits or polls, but knows in his own mind what to do for the people who he truly serves.

I think Condi Rice is very loyal to support Bush, no matter what he does. I would vote for her for President, but otherwise I will never vote Republican again.

Huh, Americans answering a question about why Americans are hated...that’s not biased at all. I am not an American, nor do I hate Americans, but I can understand why some do. First and foremost I wish to say that the opinion I express is meant as general, stereotypical comments about America as a whole, not individual citizens, who are often caring and kind.\n\n1.) America, due to leadership (especially the incompetent Bush Jr.) and polls of the populace’s opinions, seems arrogant and war-mongering. \n\n2.) Currently, Bush appears as a terrorist himself and should be held for crimes of war \n\n3.) America is currently occupying a country that does not desire his “assistance”. \n\n4.) Throughout the years a few American soldiers seem to screw up very badly and act completely amoral towards their follow man in every war or conflict, which makes everyone look bad. \n\n5.) Bush appears so pro-America, he is anti-everyone else and cares little for the advice, assistance, and opinion of other nations...occasionally even his own people (see recent natural disasters and his reactions and lack of willing-ness to accept free assistance from other nations or even his own public disregard for the lives of America soldiers)\n\nThese are a couple reasons. Again, I wish to express I AM NOT anti-American and consider Americans to be our neighbors and generally kind-hearted people. I am anti-Bush however and I feel he makes the entire country look bad. I could go into greater detail, but I hate to ramble. Hope this gave you a little insight.\n\n(Oh and for those arrogant Americans, futher proving my point, who are indicating it is just people from countries with a lot of issues giving any answer but "they are just jealous", I am from Canada...the PEACEKEEPERS with very little domestic strife)

Sorry, I'm an American, but I thought I'd better answer, anyway.  You need to know that we really aren't all like Bush.  I never voted for him, and I've never liked him.  And I get sick of Americans who brag about us being a melting pot, but want to build walls to keep everyone else out.  We need to realize that there are 6 billion people in the world, which makes us a very small minority, and we'd better get along.

no, but:\n\nBush is a puppet for the wolfowitz doctrine and other high profile secret societies. He is not for the people, he is for corporations, and making money for him and his cronies. Not helping any of use americans. Bush is a good puppet.

Having such hopeless loyalty to a person of authority, even in the event of proven corruption (Bush or not) is just ASKING to be found as a complete idiot.\nThe president, and ANYONE ELSE in an authority type position must EARN their respect. It isn't AUTOMATIC. If someone thinks it is, then how about the respect for tyrants like Saddam? Of course people make excuses why it's different so they can justify their position of needless loyalty.\nWith that logic of supporting the powerholder in any event, we aren't freeing anybody from any tyrants. IF a people are willing to hopelessly 'respect' and not complain about their harmful power-holders, then they don't have a tyrant do they?\nThat would be people's fault. And Bush and Co is loving every minute of the fake-patriots who lay down and submit just because he's in a position. It gives him and his cronies less of a reason to be found as bad as they are, since the public lets them do it.\npathetic!\n\n"The Limits of Tyrants are Proscribed By the Endurance of Those They Oppress"\n-Fredrick Douglas\n\nI'd like to clarify to those who think I might be comparing Bush to Saddam. They are only similar in the way that they are the ones with power of their country, and deserve criticism each respectively.\n\n"All Men Having Power Ought to be Mistrusted" \n- James Madison\n\nI am only trying to point out the fact of BLIND OBEDIENCE is the absolute ENEMY of freedom. People who think they're being patriotic are being anything but patriotic when they say criticism to the president weakens the country. The President (and the administration) is doing that on their own accord. Criticizing and doing something about it is the only choice. It is an act of responsible citizenship. If you love your country, then you love it enough to fight what corrupts it (including the government) no? \n\n\n"That We are to Stand By the President, Right or Wrong, is not Only Unpatriotic and Servile, but is Morally Treasonable to the American Public"\n- Theodore Roosevelt

Bush is a person who has the guts to follow what he feels is correct. few people in the world are as gutsy as he is. his war against islamic terror speaks volumes of his guts although he made a mistake by invading iraq

Actually we hold job as president too important in my opinion. The president works for us, not the other way around. Bush has been telling the American people what to do and how to think about certain situations and i find this to be completly wrong. Like I mentioned above, the President works for us and he should do what we want. My loyalties belong to this country, not its president.

Clinton was a far better president in a CEO sense, I have always said he was set up, or why would Monika blab to somebody that she knew didn't like him and why would she keep the dress. \n  To answer your question, yes republicans are loyal to Bush, regardless of his short comings they defend him like he was the flag. However if they were capable of looking at the facts and forming their own answer they would find Bush as incompetant as we do. He has cost to many American lives to be anything other then a criminal.

George W Bush is arguably the most hostile president in the history of the USA.\n\nHis foreign policy hostilities have alienated the USA from several European countries.  At least his father was wise enough to actually build a multilateral force against Saddam Hussein when Iraq tried to take over Sudan.\n\nHis poorly planned, self serving war on Saddam Hussien (disguised as a war on terror) has painted a target on the backs of all Americans, Canadians and Australians (as well as their soldiers).\n\nHe doesn't know how to come up with a well-conceived plan.  His "no child left behind" plan was a great idea in theory.  It would be awesome to have our schools do whatever is possible to make sure that all children of all ethniticities and socio-economical backgrounds have a good change at going to school and doing well.  The only problem is that George W decided that all the states should pay for his plan - at the expense of essential jobs such as police and firemen.  George's law says that sending students to school is significantly more important than having enough policemen and firemen protecting the public.   His poorly conceived plan did not include federal funding - not HIS problem.\n\nHe lies so often that he has no credibility.  After the first election where the Florida Hanging Chads (who were not 21 years old and not registered to vote) placed him in office, he promised to reach out to the Democrats.  If American held their breaths waiting for that promise to be delivered - we would all be dead.\n\nHe is unable to separate Church and State siding with the Religious Right more often than he sides with the American public he swore to serve.\n\nThe unfortunate thing is that  years down the road, some people may hail him for freeing Iraq and setting up a democracy there.   They will ignore all the harm he has done and how poorly he has run his administrations.\n\nI have the utmost respect for the office of The President of the United States of America.  I have absolutely no respect for the cold, callous, insensitive person who is abusing that office right now.  Fortunately, due to our well conceived constitution, this too shall pass.
