President Bush Booed At Baseball Game

[fdrx7man]

So your saying we shouldnt show some respect to the President whether they be Rep, Dem, or Ind?

Like I said, I wouldnt have booed Clinton either.

I heart your av!!

[Peducho0113]

Poor President Bush everytime I hear the State of Union Speech I LMAO!!!

[tadpoleboyy]

roidattack, do you listen to his speeches? Do they not make you feel embarrased, knowing that that man represents you? Not only you, but a whole nation? The things he says... ugh

[Oki-Des]

They did that because he chose not to pitch to someone on the aas list. If he would have pitched to him, the Democrats would have attacked him. He was going to be bashed for it no matter what he did, and he chose to pick the lesser of the two evils in his own mind.
Its part of politics nowadays.

[Prada]

In the spirit of being booed. He gets no respect either.

It boggles my mind how liberals can function with so much hate and anomosity. Do you guys wake up angry everyday? Do you feel it necessary to spread your hate in everything you say and do. I am sure glad I don't waste my life being so angry, cheer up it will do you wonders!

Huh . . . you've never been to a Republican Party convention, have you?
The hatred toward Bill Clinton here in Texas in the 1992 and 1996 elections was impressive . . . Lots of his campaign signs were torn down or defaced with the words "Draft Dodger." Bush's campaign signs did not suffer the same problem -- at least, not here in Texas.

^^how does that have to do with being liberal or conservative?

[RA]

Well in general liberals have no respect for any kind of tradition, like the couple things I mentioned, and he has a point-every lib I know is terribly unhappy and usually full of hate.

a lot of 'traditions' are out dated and irrelevant in modern times.

i'm a pretty happy liberal, then again, I live in Canada

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that whether you think the president deserves respect or not is subjective not absolute and obviously those people in the stands didn't think that he deserved it. If people want to voice their dissent for whatever reason they should and they're not idiots because of it. In fact, they're most likely doing because of their love for the country first and foremost and they feel that the president they think he should. I, personally, have a much greater respect for my country than I do for the politicians who run it.

Like I said, if it was Clinton I would have booed. Especially if it was Hillary. How can you respect someone that wants to do what's she has planned to this country?

If she was elected president theres no way I would boo her..but I was talking about Bill

#1 Typical lib response. Is there anything a liberal will show respect to? Other than the sierra club..

#2 Ill have to take your word for it..since I only know you on here..

[BgMc31]

There is plenty that liberals show respect to. And there are many traditions libs hold dear in this country. Its the perception of those traditions that we differ on. Libs hold the separation of Church and State dear. Libs hold the freedom of religion dear (not just freedom for Christians like conservatives). Freedom of speech (even if its hate filled or Anti-American). The list goes on and on. So don't try to paint with such a broad stroke.

Liberal party of Canada or just a happy liberal?

[Amorphic]

Liberal party of Canada or just a happy liberal?

the liberal party is in shambles, Dion's leadership is laughable.

i cant really say i support any political parties in Canada, if it was up to me i would abolish the whole parliament system.

why the hell should my tax dollars pay for a government that is useless in a minority setting? why should these "traditional" parliamentary roles such as 'speaker of the house' etc even exist?

to me the wastefulness and uselessness of a parlimentary system is absolutely nausiating.

canada may be a progressive society (in tolerance, racial relations etc) but we are in the stone ages when it comes to having a government that can actually DO SOMETHING.

and conservatives always generalize and bunch things together to make it easier to understand things in their own conservative world of illusion. Hate to me is war and greed that involves ruining other peoples lives, that i think is the outrage. you can only push someone so far b4 they push back

[BgMc31]

Oh and if I recall correctly there are n awfully large number of conservatives, republicans, and independents who aren't happy with Bush either. I guarantee it wasn't just liberal and Democrats booing him.

That's correct.

[tadpoleboyy]

i think Bush and his awful speeches are very insulting to anyone who is educated to some degree. I dont think it matters if you are lib. or conservative. He is the president, and he should, at very least, know how to compose and present a intelligent speech. Ok- other people write most of them, which is probably why he falters when it comes to answering questions. The things he says are insulting to any intelligent person that he represents. Theres are a lot of people besides liberals that hate him, namely, the rest of the world. Should we show respect to Fidel Castro just because he is(was) in control of Cuba?

[RA]

Im not sure if anyone told you but Castro wasnt democratically elected...at least in the sense that you and I know it.

The United states is not a democracy, it is a form of republic. Our president is not actually voted into office democratically either, as the electoral college shows. The majority of the population could vote for a candidate and still not have him elected if the electoral college chooses to vote the other way. Remember that next time someone says that every vote counts.

booooo boooo boooooo

the guys an idiot, please nobody stand up for the dumbest man EVER in office.
have you heard his speeches? the guy has no clue, what other president has books published called "bushisms" with allm the made up words he says.

[tadpoleboyy]

i dont associate with any party, but i think think Bush is a poor choice to represent this country. Im happy people voiced their displeasure. People follow politicians too much, and eat up what they say. You all should be very suspicious of anything they say, especially any facts, data and statistics is easily manipulated. Even though Bush sucks, its dumb to really say this and that about him sucking, because there is a lot more than one man pulling the strings, and usually it boils down to money and power (oil). He is from a wealthy powerful family. I would love to see a president in todays world get elected that has come all the way from poverty (or even simple middle class). Of course that will never happen.

[BITTAPART2]

listen to a republican debate and then a democratic one....how many more issues were talked about in the democratic one? seriously check youtube out and watcht the debates, i have. Dems talk about soo many more issues that are relevant to americans than republicans do. not just iraq this and no taxes that. its things we are missing that we used tom have like education and health care reform and poverty and feeding our children etc.

and as far as the conservatives owning the air waves....why is it then when I tell people I saw this or that on the news and it happens to be negative things about conservatives or peoples actions within their party, do you say that the media is leberal? whatever suits you at the time I guess. make the rules up as we go along.

Feeding our children?

we need to stop feeding our children, have you seen those fat pigs

Thats the funny thing, you listen to the democrats and they'll have you believe that our children are actually starving and we need more government to feed them, pathetic that people are gullible enough to believe that stuff

[RA]

Yes, and every time a Democrat talks my wallet cries. Ever lib candidate has the santa claus syndrome. Guess what bro, we have to pay for all that shit! In Mass they have healthcare for everyone and guess what? It takes over a year if you want to just get a physical. Its been proven that more money isnt the solution for education its the unions but you wont have any democrat touch the teachers unions. You want me to keep going? They give good lip service to issues but the only change they would make is from good to bad.


Im not sure what your second paragraph is trying to say. We were talking specifically about radio. You want to discuss tv?

My little brother lives in Mass, and he doesn't have to wait a year to get a physical.

Plus, he tells me that Mitt Romney pushed for and signed the "healthcare for everyone" law. He's not much of a liberal . . . or is he?

[SECdominance]

dont see how allowing prayer could hurt?. not tryin to push my religion on others but let's get real..Wouldnt this nation be a much safer and morally correct place if more people had Christian priniciples? not sayin they would have to be a Christian ..but if they behaved like one should...All of this gang-related violence and thugs takin innocent lives...Apparently ITS COOL to be like Scarface...Sorry for the hijack in advance....but saw the prayer comment and threw in my 2 cents

[Tock]

Prayer is allowed. Kids can pray pretty much anytime they want. Before meals, before tests, in study hall, on the play ground. They can even form Bible clubs (like Chess Clubs) to meet after school.
What more do they want? Government-paid preachers to lead 'em in prayer?

Wouldnt this nation be a much safer and morally correct place if more people had Christian priniciples?

Not really.
Christians base their principles on the Bible. And the Bible requires that Witches and gays and adulterers and blasphemers be executed. (No kidding)

not sayin they would have to be a Christian ..but if they behaved like one should...All of this gang-related violence and thugs takin innocent lives...Apparently ITS COOL to be like Scarface...

Ya, that's no good either.
Seems to me that the best solution would be for the parents to grow up and make the kids behave. I doubt that will happen, though. So, maybe the practical thing to do would be to take all the problem kids and roast them, and serve them to homeless people for Thanksgiving.

It's only allowed if it's done in complete silence(for now) soon the government will try to block you from silent prayer too.

That's just an out right lie to help you demonize the Bible.
