Safer? You bet!

Now, let's go get the Iranian and North Korean dictators....
Yippe, lets go!!!!!!! lets get more of the loonies out of leadership!!!!! ( personally I think being a loon should disqualify you from being able to hold office!!! No Bush bashing aloud.)

Nyhrnut relax bud, it's a laid back website..lol
Your right, my mistake, that was a poor example. The Bill Clinton example I used was way off on my part. My point was mentioning the constant problem of Americans making broad, baseless generalizations. The user has said "doesn't care what Americans want"...How does she know what Americans want? How does she know what the administration is thinking? How can she gage the Administrations ability to know what Americans want? This perception was a radical statement. Personal Experience: I knew a young black man who I used to work with, he told George Bush didn't like black people. I said "really!" I was still respectful of his total generalization and lack of claims. I said did you know he spent twice as much money on blacks as Clinton did? He was speechless. Then I asked why George Bush didn't like black people? The only thing he could come up with was the disrespect Mr. Bush showed by fishing in Louisiana at the time of Katrina. I laughed so hard, he made a generalization and then he realized by his black stare his former thoughts were completely intertwined by a bias generalization. Like I say, America has a problem with generalizations, stereotypes, and racism.

I love differing opinions, but the ruthless, untolerable Bush Bashing has been out of control in the past few years

...untolerable Bush Bashing
______________________

did you mean intolerable and people have a right to disagree. Many do NOT like him. Not just a party thing. In fact, until 2004 I was a registered republican.

Nope! I don't feel any safer or less safe, and I certainly don't think it was worth all those lives. Can't say I'm not glad the guy is dead, though...

But it's all justified... if the guy wasn't such a moron & horrible leader, we wouldn't have a reason to complain. And I hear plenty of Republicans "Bush-bashing", so like sunnyhelena said, it's not just a party thing!
