"Think Different"

I hate what he has done with many things. I hate that he has sent off many of our young men and women to war, I hate that he is not doing more about global warming, I hate that he used "weapons of mass destruction" as an excuse to go to war and kill hundreds of thousands of people, I hate that he has put this country in so much debt, I hate that he has people spying on my phone calls... the list goes on the guy should be impeached. Do you know that since the patriot act the government could arrest me just for suspicion of being a terrorist?

You say this as if no other president has sent our troops off to war over some ficticious crap before, or attempted to.  The "weapons of mass destruction" were lol when Clinton used them to further attack Iraq in 1998 and when he used them to promote US sponsored terrorist groups within Iraq.

If you think that the Patriot Act is/was bad, then you should look into Project Carnivore and realise that most of what was in the Patriot Act is fairly old news.

Now add in his reaction to 9/11. The entire world was with us after 9/11, and in a matter of months he turned the world almost entirely against us. Our international standing has never been lower. He went after a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and caused tens of thousands of deaths, both of innocent Iraqis and American servicemen and women -- what a waste!

You don't think any of this has played a role in the dollar's massive slide?

There are plenty of writers who have made this point more eloquently than I can -- check out the Rolling Stone story from, I think, last year.

He is the worst president we've ever had, primarily because the other candidates ruled at a time when their incompetence could have only so much impact on the world. The war, the moves to create a religious government, torture, loss of rights, the environment, the divisive politics that have torn apart a nation that he promised to unify, the Nixonian use of the presidency as a political position rather than one for leadership/governance, the fact that he's on the wrong side of nearly every issue, the theft of the 2000 election - all of this makes him the worst of the modern presidents and one of the three or four worst of all-time.

So do you think Andrew Jackson was a stand-up chap?

I despise its cultural exports (if you could even flatter them that much) of MTV, Desperate Housewives, etc., as well as its legal exports such as the draconian Violence Against Women Act (don't be fooled by the name, guys, the Nazi's would hardly come up with a more totalitarian, unjust law as the VAWA).

In terms of Bush's involvement in Iraq, I'm totally opposed to it; and not for the pacifist anti-war reason that most others seem to subscribe to.  I simply think that America has no right to interfere with Middle Eastern culture.

Oh and you have 2 million men in jail, something like a 200% increase in the last 30 years.  That's 1% of your total male population incarcerated.  What the freaking hell is that about?

It's been touted that if you get rid of Bush then you will get rid of anti-Americanism.  Indeed Hillary speaks in these sort of terms (as if her 1990s co-Presidency was all that great which it wasn't).  Well, it won't be the case for me and I'm sure for alot of others.

Whoever takes to the White House, Republican, Democrat; I will continue to despise the American Establishment.

I admire the moral/social conservative, pro-gun, pro-first amendment movement in the US, which is far stronger than it is here, but frankly what have they achieved?  It's a very liberal/lefty place. The liberal/lefty culture and laws they export worldwide is not welcomed by everyone as a "gift".

Anyway, those are just SOME of the reasons to hate the USA (mine above are from a conservative-rightist point of view).  I've digressed somewhat and the brief answer is, I hate Bush but that doesn't capture the half of it.

That my dear readers is why I have more respect for Britney spears than I do for our current president Bush.
