Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them "haters" or "bashers" or "whiners". It means they have a difference of opinion and when it comes to "Dubya", there are a lot of folks that really don't like his leadership.
But I can say "Happy Birthday" to the man. He is still a human being and an American and deserves courtesy regardless of his politics.

Really i don't mind at all. It doesn't bother me much. Whats worse is the other stuff SBF said about all my posts which goes deeper than this one post he disagreed with. Whatever.

But the thing is, i hate it when democratic ideas get labeled as 'hater' and 'whiner' ideas, like you said. What is worse when the words "national pride" come into the picture, as skinsfan said. Just because someone disagrees with the way the country is being run doesn't make them any less american than those that blindly follow it. They are more american for that. This is the same thing as when people disagree with the war and they are labeled as not "supporting the troops". Please.

Also i don't know what SBF thinks some people would do if they met the president. Its not like I would spit in bush's face. There is no doubt in my mind that i would shake his hand. There is the republican idea that democrats hate this country and have no respect for its ideals and values. Again, I say those that have the courage to say what is wrong are not doing so in hate, its in love of this country.

No offense to Skinsfan either, i'm just giving an example from the thread.
