Bush is hated by the political/lifestyle left because he has displaced the Clinton-type figures who flaunted and superficially validated that life style.

What makes Dems mad? What doesn't? Dems are mad because they believe/are told that family, church, hard work, comittment are all bad things and should be avoided. This leaves their lives filled with nothing but crap, leaving them angry, bitter, depressed and confused.

didnt they hate Newt Gingrich with the same fervor?
didnt they hate Ronald Reagan with the same fervor?
Krauthammer hits on one point that is essential: The Left hates bush for his boldness, confidence and *consequence*.
Any Conservative of *consequence* becomes a target.

I think that the main reason that the leftist hate President Bush so much is because they
KNOW that they're so much smarter than him... But he keeps outsmarting them! And since it can't be that they're really not quite as smart as they think they are, it must be something else... Either a "vaster" right wing conspiracy... Nahhh, the conservatives are too dumb for that... Or just blind luck... But that luck has to run out sometime...
I just hope that they keep on "misunderestimating" President Bush. I don't agree with a lot of the things he's done, but he's a lot better than the alternatives.

"..a contempt and disdain giving way to a hatred that is near pathological."
Remember the "hate sessions" in George Orwell's 1984? I'm starting to wonder what the atmosphere's like when Libs and leftists get together. I don't suppose we have any infiltrators... :^)

Oh, don't forget... he staffs his cabinets with blacks (whom liberals do not consider "really Black") and appoints federal judgeships to Hispanics (whom liberals don't consider "really Hispanic")... frickin' liberal racist.

The President's unilateral assertion of U.S. power has redefined America's role in the world. Here was Bush breaking every liberal idol: the ABM Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, deference to the U.N., subservience to the "international community." It was an astonishing performance that left the world reeling and the Democrats seething. The pretender had not just seized the throne. He was acting like a king. Nay, an emperor.During the eight years of Clinton, liberals slept easy knowing that their president would maintain their fictions, such as the US being on board with the international BS like Kyoto and ICC. They thought that the mandateless W would be obligated to continue those fictions, i.e. "long-established doctrine."
But it had required amazingly disciplined cowardice on the part of Clinton, in the face of terrorist attacks during his tenure, to completely avoid betraying the liberals trust. So that was a bit of a house of cards.
That the country as a whole approved of Clinton job performance further lulled the liberals to blissful sleep. The American people had been pleased that things seemed to be going so well, but they never bought the lying doctrine. With Rush, Drudge, 9/11 fallout, FoxNews, FR on their side, and the bully pulpit, W and Rove were able to have the political cover to jettison all that BS effectively.
The liberals are very angry to be jarred out of such a pleasant sleep.

In my experience, intellectual leftists hate those who disagree with them because they view those on the right as evil. Disagreement with their political doctrine brings
moral condemnation, because their political views stem from notions of "fairness" and "social justice" which only the morally enlightened are able to discern.
Those on the right side of the political aisle more often base their political views on ideas such as individual rights, limited government, and separation of powers. As a result, those on the right are more likely to view those on the left as mistaken or misguided than evil.
A person on the right can generally live with those on the left without feeling the need to shout them down or convert them to their cause, as the conflict from his perspective is one of competing ideas and ideologies. A genuine leftist feels he must convert or destroy the other side as part of a great moral struggle.

In their hatred the Democrats attack Bush at his strengths. They're too corrupt and intellectually bankrupt to understand or exploit his weaknesses. At this point, Bush should, and will, win re-election on the basis of his foreign policy alone. Deservingly so.

You got it. The left is "Christaphobic". The current rabid atmosphere is not new. Throughout history, demons shriek and curse in the presence of the truth. It is their only response. Just watch the swine now as they head for the cliff.
To: RLK
And .. he's not moral relativist .. he knows there is good and evil, he voices that truth repeatedly (much to their chagrin) contrary to the DemonKrats, who like the picture a little muddier .. no clear lines between the two.

Dude, he was an unknown quantity and won against a near incumbent and now that he is a known quantity, everyone loves him, of course he is going to crush any opponent, not even Hillabitch will run against him... Bush is the man, he like Galahad.

Worse. I think he's a neocon. Nope. Can't have those hated neocons. No siree.
Be sure to check for neocons under your bed before you go to sleep. You never know. I mean, one just may be hiding under there.
You just never know. So be afraid. Be very afraid.

I don't suppose we have any infiltrators... :^)I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year. There will be 11 raving liberals (my spouse, my sibs and their spouses, their spawn and their spouses) here with just 2 sane people (my mother and myself). I am readying the hidden tape recorders. I will post to you what they say when they are on their own... :)
