Why is it liberals often talk down upon bush being in the national guard, and?

The libs are right - he avoided the draft.  They just neglect to mention that he avoided the draft by joining the military voluntarily.  This also explains their disdain for our current troops - they are the same kind of draft dodgers.

He hasn't insulted the military. He said that Bush is uneducated over several sentences. If you would stop taking the one line out of context that he was talking about Bush when he said that, you would understand.\n\nIn truth you should be mad at the republicans for displaying a huge amount of idiocy if not lying on the subject.

The word "liberal" is being turned into a dirty word by right-wing republican wacko's such as Shawn Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Regan.  According to them, if someone breaks the law by jaywalking, they are a liberal.\nIf you appear unpatriotic, you are a liberal.\nIf you question the war, they say you are a liberal.\nIf you dissagree with the "republican" president, you are a liberal.\nThose listed above have gone as far as saying that if you as so much question the reasons for invading Iraq, you're not supporting the troops and you should be tried for treason.\nYes, I find it disturbing and so do a lot of other even minded people in America. \nIn spite of their good ratings on radio, Rush Limbaugh, Mitch Albom, Michael Regan and those like them, do not express the majority opinions of Americans.\nRemember, the Jerry Springer Show gets good ratings too.

Look at the responses to your question. Liberals hate bush to the point of stupidity. He can do no good no matter what. Clinton sends troops to Bosnia and they accept that without ANY protest (they are still there even though Clinton promised they would return in one year), our troops are dragged through the streets of Somalia (that's ok because a liberal sent them there). As much as liberals like to think of themselves as open minded and non-judgmental they are neither. If you know a liberal this is a great joke to play. Read the paper in the morning and look for a quote from any liberal (i.e. Hillary, Teddy, Nancy P. etc.) attribute it to Bush and the liberal will spew hatred at the comment and say, "what an idiot", when you correct the source they will get upset and leave. If you do the same to a conservative they will usually say something like, "well that is stupid" and still disagree. Conservatives are better on the ideological which hurts us politically but it's better than being a liberal.

The retired generals who are speaking out against Rumsfeld are hardly liberals. Yet they are convinced that Rumsfeld has been a primary reason for the failed war effort in Iraq.\nIt's pretty compelling when so many retired generals, knowing they will be attacked for their views, still have the courage to speak out. \nWe already know that the planning for winning the peace was minimal. We know that Rumsfeld decided to have many fewer troops in the field than recommended by numerous experts, including the generals. We know that Rumsfeld disbanded the Iraqi military, a decision that many believe has made it so difficult to train a new security force.\nWhy continue to support someone who has made so many mistakes, and who doesn't seem to learn from them? Or is it just a case that firing Rumsfeld would acknowledge that Bush thinks everything is not going well? \nI guess when reality confronts fantasy, fantasy wins in this administration.

Good question! At the last election Bush went on about 'Massachusetts liberals' (forgetting that he is president of Massachusetts as well as the other 49 states)  even though it pays its own way in the Union, contributing more than it takes out.

The problem with alot of liberals is they are fast at placing blame and making sure when the conservatives mess up they make a heck of a noise. When its them making mistakes they stay pretty quiet. They know that the policies are working, but they won't talk about that all they can talk about is what isn't working over there and in truth that just brings down the American moral and makes the public think its a failure. Its just liberal propaganda

A true liberal isn't consistent.  Rosie O'Donnell rode hard on Tom Selleck about his support of the NRA, but turns around to hire an armed body guard.\n\nNow if a true liberal was consistent they would have to

For the liberals it has more to do with who is in charge.  They didn't seem to have any problems when our military was placed in harms way under Clinton.  They didn't seem to mind that Clinton sent troops under UN direction and were left to die in Mogadishu and Kosovo.

They just don't like what President Bush is doing right now with the War on Iraq,   They know that everything is going great with the economy, and that just drives them crazy.  Liberals seem to think more than act.

I suppose so. President Bush joined the Texas National Air Guard in order to escape being drafted to Vietnam. He likes war, but is afraid of it, and has no idea how to manage it as president.

President Bush is the Liberal with his illegal immigration and spending programs. Since the Amish are what a true Conservative is, there is no apparent connection to the present Republican party nowadays. So using the term Liberal really is talking about everybody that isn't Amish to a degree. I am not Amish, I like the toys and the boys. Most Republicans do too. That is just language coming from Rush Limbaugh who too is a Liberal with all of his millions, it doesn't mean anything to anybody.

lol@ the idiots who assume when you refer to anyone as liberal you are instantly a bush fan, a fox news watcher, a rush limbaugh listener etc etc.. \n\nThe funny thing is, they'd probably call YOU closed minded.. When in fact it's they who paint the world with a broad, blind brush. \n\nLiberals are interested in the rights and comforts of prisoners because most prisoners are liberals.. & I mean the vast, vast majority..  Fact.

Because they hate Bush. Most liberals are Bush haters.

The reason President Bush has not been impeached is that he has not committed an impeachable offense. The liberals’ constant rant that he lied is in fact a lie. He acted on the same information that congress did when they authorized the war in Iraq. He did not lie under oath as Clinton did. In fact, his biggest fault is that he has been brutally honest and the liberals don’t agree with what he has to say. That doesn’t make it a lie. I wish the liberals would come up with a meaningful rant, but I don’t think they’re capable of it.

Are you kidding me? As a Yankee liberal living in a Southern Red state I can relate to what your saying. My only saving grace is that I work in a field where there is an abundance of liberals. When I'm with my liberal brethren, the air is sweeter, the sun is brighter, food is tastier...you get the idea. Some criminal republicans can be a downer at times trying to make you (liberals) feel as if we're some sort of subversive counter-culture when the opposite is the truth. Just tell your favorite repug. to put the tin-foil back on their head as FoxNews and newsmax. com is calling their name.

First of all it's "reel off" not "real off" \n\nThe reason liberals go off subject or resort to name calling is because they cannot win an argument with facts. Also most liberals are seething with hatred and have lost the ability to debate altogether.\n\nAs you can see, the responses above are excellent examples of my point.
