A question I would pose to right-wingers
Does it make you wonder why there are so many people thru-out the world that protest Bush* and American policy? This trip to England (our major ally and friend) is causing major havoc because hundreds of thousands of people have come to protest America and it's leader. Why do they feel that way about Bush* and didn't feel that way about President Clinton? Are you so convinced that you are right and the entire rest of the world is wrong. It must give you a very superior attitude. Do you ever question? Is there any independent thought that goes on? Do you ever wonder at the extreme hatred that is being expressed thru-out the world against Bush*? I realize that is how the Right-wingers felt about President Clinton but they were not joined in their beliefs by any one other than idealists of the far right. Does it ever cause you any doubts at all or are you so convinced of your rightousness that everyone else in the world is wrong except you and the far right in America? Just asking because I do ask questions. I just wonder if you do.

1. You need to understand cult thinking
it's them against the world. They are the only ones with the truth. Sort of like they are the only ones "saved".

4. RWers have twisted logic: a number have said that it's "popular"
to bash this pResident.

Popular means that a large number of people like it, say, maybe the MAJORITY? Soooooo, if the majority are against Bush, doesn't that make him unpopular? Not according to them, most of the people in this country (according to them) like him, and he's a popular president.

If they actually ever listened to themselves and tried to sort out their logic, their heads would explode like the transmogrifier thingie on Red Dwarf.

5. Hundreds of thousands?
Hasn't materalized yet. All of 200 protested so far. But from what I understand the big protest is planned for tomorrow. We shall see what happens.

7. You have no memory
I wasn't just referring to today and this particular trip to England. Hell I should have said millions of people, not hundreds of thousands. Bush* has been protested by millions in England and most of Europe. I doubt they have changed their minds about him since last March.

9. According to a recent post in freeperland,
the rest of the world hates us because of the decline of our morals, namely, gay marriage.(as seen on Salon.com today).

10. Hmmm, does that include Neil Bush and his sorrid little affairs?
Talk about a decline in morals, he slept with Asian prostitutes while on business trips overseas, and then had an affair with his wife's best friend which broke up their marriage. But you never hear the Reich-Wing talk about that.

13. There's a bit more than that...
"...he slept with Asian prostitutes while on business trips overseas, and then had an affair with his wife's best friend which broke up their marriage"

Since the prime age of prostitutes in Asia is between 12 and 16, you can surmise that, not only did he have sex with prostitutes; he most likely had sex with children.

Neil did not have an affair with his wife's best friend. He had the affair with his mother's private secretary! (This is the same "mother" when asked on national TV what she thought of the democratic candidates said, "Not much." If she doesn’t think much of the likes of Clark, Kerry, and Dean; what the hell does she think of her own dysfunctional family?) The secretary, Maria Andrews, also happened to be married at the time of the affair.

To make it a true family value, Sharon was offered a pittance for alimony and faced with her and children being forced to the streets. Neil's mom and dad, the elder George Bush and his wife, Barbara, have agreed to buy a more modest house for her and their grandchildren, Ashley, 13 and Pierce, 16. But, when Ashley turns 18, grandpa and grandma will throw them out on their own.

Another comment from Sharon: "Sharon's former in-laws George and Barbara have agreed to put her children through college and buy her a temporary house. But once, "I called my mother-in-law for help," Sharon says. "She told me, 'Neilsie will talk to me. You talk to your own mother.'"

Christian. Family. Values.

11. Those are great questions for the bush buttkissers.
They probably wouldn't be able to answer you because when that realization (the truth) hits them, they won't know what to say.

Kudos to you!
