Go over to DU or daily Kos...they will LOVE you!

Oh yes, if you don't agree with Bush, or apologize or make excuses for this utter disaster he's left behind, you must be liberal...

Gezzz

I don’t think anyone who admires President Bush owes ANY of his critics any accommodation on interpretation. I think we should interpret Bush critics the way they interpreted President Bush.

What this would mean is that if we have any ideal in mind which your criticism does not fulfill 100% we should act like absolute jerks and attack you in a visceral direct manner that implicates you as a moral void. If there is anything that we personally desire and your comments do not immediately satiate or quench that desire then we can accuse you of any manner of moral desertion. I think we have learned a lot these past six years about criticism.

Does that sound like a fair arrangement dragnet?

Dragnet2, what people with your mindset simply cannot (or will not) get is that disagreement with President Bush (or any president) is perfectly fine. What folks like you lack is any sense of balance and fairness. Every presidency is a mix of strengths and weaknesses. Presidents are human beings too. They make mistakes. Even the absolute greatest leader in American history, in my opinion, George Washington, made his share. And yet we would not be a nation today if he had not persevered.

A fair, reasonable, adult is capable of acknowledging and crediting the good despite having areas of strong disagreement.

George W. Bush's presidency is filled with great and good achievements, mixed with things that could have been done better, and with outright mistakes. When you grow up, perhaps you'll discover that strong-weak, good-bad, high-low, hit-miss is all part of the human condition.
