Why I hate George W. Bush

Alright, you asked for it. I’ll try to keep my wits about me, though the emotional base upon which this argument is built is quite tumultuous.

Why would I say that I “hate” George W. Bush? Isn’t that a little strong? Isn’t he just your average politician? Isn’t this just some natural extension of your overall left-leaning political views?

No, not really.

…the final mark of disrespect… the gut-level intuition that leads me to label him an EVIL man, rather than a merely despicable one is his casual contempt for human life. There aren’t words to describe the horror I feel when I see Bush look into the nation’s television cameras with that sadistic little smirk and tell us euphemistically, as if half-choking on a stifled snort that our enemies… “let’s put it this way: they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies.”

When I look at George W. Bush, I don’t see a patriot. I see a lying, psychopathic narcissist. And it pains me, it grieves me, it WOUNDS me to realize that this puts me not only in the minority… but in the “whacko fringe.”

  1. Bush is,without any doubt, the worst president that this country has ever had and possibly will ever have. He has single-handedly bankrupted this country. We have gone from being the most admired country in the world to being the most villified. We are embroiled in a war which is costing us billions of dollars a week and, worse yet over four thousand lives so far. (And this is our most valuable national resource of all, the lives of our young people.) Gas is at $4 dollars a gallon and on its way up and the stock market is in the toilet. Usually the stock market and our economy thrive during a war. That has not been the case. I do not believe that assassination can be justified no matter what the rationalization, but I do feel that George W. Bush should be “bitch-slapped by every man, woman and child in our country, possibly the world. What an asshole!

  2. I hate the SOB because he just came through Atlanta and SCREWED up all our traffic even more than it usually is. I don’t know why they think the need to close the roads when he comes through. It’s not like anyone cares to shoot his sorry ass now! He’s on his way out!!
    Thank God for that, no more BUSHY!

  4. There’s lots of hatred here on this board. It’s very sad actually. I don’t really understand why so many people hate President Bush. These people really hate him. It is mind boggling! What has he done that would make anybody actually hate him? Tell it truthfully and not with left-wing sound bites, hate is personal, so tell it personally. What has he done to any of you personally to make you hate him? Probably nothing. I’m sure all of you hated Reagan too. History will likely give us a better account of the Bush presidency than we currently get, I’m sure. Use your energy for good and not for hatred to make changes if you think they are needed.

  5. Christopher is right on! No one here is saying why they hate President Bush. Yes, he did have his flaws, but so did every single other president. So for all of you left-winged, cool aid drinking, watching too much CNN, here you go:
    The List of President George W. Bushes accomplishments:
    1. Signed the Teacher Protection Act
    2. Signed two income tax cut bills, (which I am pretty sure why most of you in here get more money back on your income taxes. If you don’t and are in a higher tax bracket, thank Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi)
    3. Required states to do background checks before adopting a child
    4. Raised Education IRA’s from $500 to $2,000
    5. Created jobs and technologies that help the disabled.
    6. Stopped President Clinton’s OSHA rules that would have collapsed every home business
    7. Eliminated the death tax….yes, the government would tax you when you died
    8. Helped reduce taxes on capital gains….if their were no capital gains, the job market would be worse of then it is now.
    9. Spent millions of dollars to help people with disabilities to work from home.
    10. Spent billions to help AIDS research. President Clinton gave 4 dollars to every person who had AIDS to help research, President Bush gave hundreds to each person.
    11. Banned partial birth abortions
    12. Upheld the 2nd amendment
    These are just the tip of the ice burg of his achievements. There are hundreds more that he has done. I’m sure people will say things like, he bankrupt the SSA, no, that was the two village idiots Pelosi and Reid. The US putting American Japanese into concentration camps in WWII, Waco and Ruby Ridge (Clinton Admin. which Janet Reno authorized); it seems that history has been forgotten. But, I will guarantee, President George W. Bush will be one of the greatest presidents that has ever lived. Some of you people please put down the cool aid and stop listening to CNN and MSNBC and CBS, and all the rhetoric you hear. I’m going to go out on a limb and say a good percentage of this forum has no secondary or high school education. That’s why this country is getting worse, is because of people not seeing past the rhetoric, the people are just getting dumber….and I think you’re all just a little scared that President Bush is smarter than you.

  6. You have issues, you need to shut your mouth because you have no idea what your talking about, he is not a murderer like some other people have said, he’s just an idiot, he is definetely not a bad man

    I just want to ask that if we dont fight back who will? Would you rather have them come over to america and kill you for no good reason? Would you rather have nuclear bombs sitting in your backyard? Those young men and women have choosen to do the job they do to protect you and all u can say is i would rather be dead?

    think about it

    and dont be such an inconsideret jerk

  8. “Our Brave New World” is a new book about George Bush. To a conservative, this book is kryptonite. But, for liberals who love to hate George W. Bush, Our Brave New World is addicting. Rants, which originally appeared on the internet concurrent with his Presidency, will take you back to the inanity and malfeasance of Bush and his cronies – Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, Ashcroft, “Brownie,” Gonzales and Abramoff. Relive such unforgettable moments as Bush proclaiming “mission accomplished,” the search for the weapons of mass destruction, the revelations at Abu Ghraib, the paranoia of Plamegate, the horror of Hurricane Katrina, and the helplessness of financial meltdown. With sardonic wit, and allusions and quotations from anti-utopian literature, popular culture, and the works of authors like T.S. Elliot and Joseph Conrad, Our Brave New World chronicles a nightmare era in American history.

  9. I have and always will hate George W. Bush. His smirk and his obvious ignorance appall me. He was nothing more than a puppet for the Republican party. The method in which he was named President in 2000 was shocking. The fear mongering that led to his reelection was equally shocking. How many U.S. citizens were fooled into believing that W. Bush was keeping the U.S. safe? Safe from what? Sept. 11, 2001 appears to be a set up. All of the buildings that collapsed looked like a planned demolition. Many wealthy Republican backers became more wealthy due to 9/11. The defense contractors reaped enormous profits. All W. Bush did, was help lead the U.S. to ruin. Yet there are still some who believe that he was a good president. To sum up the W. Bush elections, I will use the adage, “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me”. Or as W. would say “fool me once, you can’t fool me again”.
