Our media keeps pointing to "anti-American" protests, but the overwhelming majority seem to be anti-BUSH! Where is Karen Hughes??? Shouldn't she be down in Argentina on her Rainbow Tour to "improve our image"?

3. I was saying the same thing earlier...they are anti-bush, not anti-america
There is a huge difference.

5. If most Americans oppose Bush, then being anti-Bush is Pro-American
Republicans must understand that dissenting from the majority is un-patriotic!

6. Or as Bush would say, "Just a focus group"
So he can feel comfortable pretending to ignore them.

8. guess you didn't see the flag burning
An earlier thread talking about bush sweating had people surrounded by a flag on fire on the ground. . .

Now I'm not critisizing flag burning--but that is certainly an AMERICAN symbol, not a BUSH one.

9. That is why I said majority....
The flag burnings are indeed anti-US. But I have seen far more anti-Bush posters.

12. You're correct I didn't see it.
I hate to see our flag being burned but love to live in a country where it can be burned. That's a good enough reason NOT to burn it.

10. Bush is just the symptom of Imperialism and Globalization
Edited on Fri Nov-04-05 01:42 PM by Armstead
Unfortunatly, Bush is just a symptom and current symbol of something much deeper that is also an oppressive force within the US too.

But the resentment being expressed there goes much deeper than the current administration. Alas it also includes the misguided support for the same brand of Corporate Colonialism that was also embraced by Clinton.
