Perhaps I can't tell the difference between your version of respect and worship because you seem to equate respect with unconditional support.

Not even close. I have never, ever, ever said that one must 'unconditionally support' President Bush.

My question to you is, why do you insist on saying things that aren't true at all? Don't you have a sense of right and wrong......a moral compass......so that you feel you can just invent things, and post them?

You said you aren't a Christian, but you don't even seem to have a conscience. Please stop fabricating things, OK?

Alright, here are your own words from this thread to just draw a little picture of your mentality:

Those who are crying "Betrayed!" are the betrayers... Any post about President Bush needs to be attacked by US early on....Now I'm asking you to keep quiet because I'm embarrassed for you... Since that is the state of mind of many a basher on this forum, it seems a perfect way to silence them... even some who cloak it in caring about the Constitution, are thinly disguising their desire to get their own way about everything all the time, and their expectation that the President should do everything they want, or they throw tantrums.

That last bit particularly freaks me out. If someone has to choose between what the President wants and the intentions of the framers of the Constitution... you characterize those who choose the latter as "throwing tantrums?" When the President does something that may be Christian but sure as hell isn't conservative, whose side are you on? Bush over Constitution, Christianity over conservatism.

Hey. That's your call. But don't call yourself "the REAL base" or the "REAL conservatives." If Bush trumps the Constitution for you, you aren't a conservative; you're just a Bush fan.

And if you look back at my posts, I've never ridiculed him or disprespected him. It's YOU I can't stand, woman. Not him. I just disagree with him. You, however, make me shudder from head to toe.

You may choose to interpret my words however you want........adding a little personal distortion, if you will.

In all those words I was talking about those who have hijacked this forum and turned it into an anti-Bush temper tantrum. They yell and scream and curse, and call the President names that no decent person should be called.

I am not now, nor ever have been talking about reasonable dissent, nor disagreement with policy.

If you choose to ignore the truth, so be it. There's nothing I can do for you.

I'm a Constitutional conservative, and any other opinion about me is based on conjecture and distortion on your part.

But since you seem to enjoy making things up for your own pleasure, whether they are true or not, I doubt that my telling you the truth now will ever stop you.

Carry on in your made up little world. But don't expect me to respond again. I choose to discuss things only with people who can distinguish right from wrong............and you can't do that.

(btw, I never mind it when liars 'can't stand' me. If you DID like me, I would be worried).

I haven't abandoned him and I don't expect to. I am frankly appalled at the amount of mean spirited posters on FR who have joined with the enemy trashing this man. They have obvious forgotten what the rats are really like when they are in charge. He is a leader, and how he has kept from just walking away from this thankless job is beyond me.

That is such a damn cop out it is pathetic...

Just because folks do not go along with the immigration deals, just because folks do not go along with foreign investment, just because folks don't agree with every single thing Bush has done, they a filled with hate?? Get real man. Just like the balance of power of the three branches of government, I am content with the fact we have three ways of thinking out here in no-man's land... Those who follow blind and have total faith in the leaders and are comfortable in non-thought...

Those who watch and take issue with things when they do not agree with them, and those who don't trust ANYTHING government has their hands into... This is a good balance Chief. It is neccessary.

Whether you want to be honest with yerself is up to you. But don't call people full of hate because they do not trust things....that's BS in a big way. Christ, you're Ex-Military!! You shine the old man's belt buckle on every decision he made?? Or, did you show a little spine from time to time and state an "as a matter of fact" when asked your opinion??

Because folks don't tag along with you, cheering for Bush on everything that comes down the pike, they are hateful??... WACOS!

(what a crock of s^%t!)

LOL! Balance? No balance would not involve the rabid lies and ugly terms repeatedly used on these threads.

Have you noticed the same line emerging from all these guys, CWO?

If you challenge them on the rabid, ugly insults of the President, they cry foul because they're only 'disagreeing' with him, and we're trying to deny them free speech, and squelching dissent.

It's getting comical.

I've never seen so many lame posts in one single thread as I've seen on this one. I'm ready to bring in some crutches. :)

Disagreement is fine, the ugliness we've seen day in and day out on FR is not disagreement. When you have the same people jumping on any and every issue (real, fabricated or imagined) and using that as an avenue to attack the President they aren't interested in the issues.

Honest disagreement doesn't include "Jorge Bush", those stupid Peso graphics, accusations against the first lady, etc...that's just pure hatred.

It is hatred, but they continue to deny it.

It would almost be better if they just came out and said that they hate President Bush.

At least it would be honest.

You have an advantage. You can show him embracing a victim. I can't show him embracing $1000s of trillions in debt he bequeathed to our kids.

"Hate" is a checkmate word...there is no where to go with it, it is the max you can label someone with. You can't defend against it. It is an easy win. I admire your technique. Takes a lot of intelligence to use one word to win your argument.

Kudos boys!! You win a gold star!
