Do Mac users support GW Bush?

[fryke]

Yeah, irony is difficult. But if it's put this obviously, it's quite clear, I think.

When I said "support" I meant do you agree with his policies and how he runs our country (and the world?).
This question is for non-Americans seeing how what his administration has done (and is doing) affects the World.
Rush L. is an avid Mac user? It must be due to what he swallows.
Okay, this is not really a "poll." I'm sorry. I'm just chucking this out. You can say whatever you like....or not reply. There is no "yes," "no" "maybe" criterion.
I hope there will be more. Many thanks.
No, not the new "GWB" model. Just the new "GW" version.

Thanks Mobius Rex, you gave me two good laughs in one day.

Of course, when those outside the US criticize George W. Bush, it should not be taken as a personal attack on the American people, nor should it be seen as "anti-Americanism." There is a strong distinction between individuals and the leaders of any nation. Also, importantly, those who criticize the Bush administration from within the US should not be portrayed as non-patriots/subversives.


Some interesting quotes:

"In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other."
-Benjamin Franklin


"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-Benjamin Franklin


"The people never give up their freedom, except under some delusion."
-James Madison


And some conservatives might be surprised to read what a former Republican president once said:

"No, I'm not sure that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

-George Bush (Senior)

Most of you outside the US have really no idea that Bush Jr. has lost his support of the Conservative element of his Republican political party.

I can't speak for everyone outside of the US, obviously, but in the UK we do hear of George W. Bush's ratings being at a low and of rumblings within the Republican party about him. At the same time, though, he does still receive some sort of support, whether in his role as the president or as a conservative leader for now. Equally, I think many within the US have little idea of just how unpopular Bush is in the rest of the world, and how international relations have been affected during his time in office. In slightly more general terms, I think that outside of the US there is a perception, whether rightly or wrongly, that dissent is seen as unpatriotic (almost treason) by many Americans in the current climate, and I think this can alarm outsiders.
