The insanity of Bush hatred
An insightful political analysis from the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page:
Quote:
"Bush hatred is distinguished by the pride intellectuals have taken in their hatred, openly endorsing it as a virtue and enthusiastically proclaiming that their hatred is not only a rational response to the president and his administration but a mark of good moral hygiene . . .
In short, Bush hatred is not a rational response to actual Bush perfidy. Rather, Bush hatred compels its progressive victims--who pride themselves on their sophistication and sensitivity to nuance--to reduce complicated events and multilayered issues to simple matters of good and evil. Like all hatred in politics, Bush hatred blinds to the other sides of the argument, and constrains the hater to see a monster instead of a political opponent."

Nice to meet you Talkhard. It would be nice if you would post in other threads that you cant just post a pro Bush article to try to prove your point. Im looking forward to reading more of your posts.

What's worse. Those who refuse to see the Emperor's new clothes and tell him (and others) he looks great..or those who continually point out that he's naked and hung like a flea?

Glad to see you still post in an ignorant manner. I see that I was right when I expected that you just glazed over anytime I explained why I was not a fan of Bush, and that you think Canada is backward since we have our own oil and dont need to invade for it.
Thanks, that was some real hard talkin'.
Seeing as you refuse to step foot into the national debt thread, Ill ask you on here. What is your view on the national debt?

Isn't it more logical for you to comment on the article posted in this thread than to ask me to comment on an article posted in another thread?

What is there to comment on? Its garbage. We have given you countless reasons as to why we dont like Bush. Just because you plead ignorance and say we just hate him because we want to doesnt change the facts.
Also, why am I not suprised you refuse to answer my question on the national debt? There you go, national debt. Theres another reason why Im not a fan of Bush. Feel free to glaze over it though.

You obviously didn't read the article. It's not about "disliking" Bush; it's about the pathological hatred that the Left has for him and the way that hatred blinds them to the facts and any kind of rational discussion.

I've had rational discusions with you on Bush. Im glad the Iraq front is going better. And if Im to blame him when things are going bad there, I will give him the credit when things go well. Im starting to think some good things can come out of this war, although I still wish it didnt happen, and dont think it will ever be looked upon as a good decision.
Let me know though, when is the last time someone posted something anti bush and you had a rational discusion with them.
Also, what are your thoughts on the current debt situation in America Talkhard?

Re: The insanity of Bush hatred
Bush spent 1.6 billion in tax payer dollars on "public relations". Glad to see he's getting our money's worth.

You can surely understand the feeling perfectly, though, since it is exactly the same effect as the hatred that the right had for Bill Clinton eight years ago.
But, of course, that hatred was justified. He got a blowjob. Maybe more than one.
