Question

Why do Americans think, President republican- Bush kidnapped our democracy and freedoms?

Answer 1

Because saying this sort of thing is easier than studying the issues.

Answer 2

Voting irregularities in the election.

The PATRIOT act

Mass surveillance of American communications

etc.

Answer 3

because in every discussion about politics, you have those in favor and those opposed.  people said the same about clinton (second amendment) bush I (no new taxes) Reagan (peace through strength) and every other president.  Your thoughts on it boil down to which side of the political spectrum you fall.  You have your left and right zelots fighting over those in the middle.  Both sides should remember that brash accusations and name calling, which both are guilty of, only alienate the undecided, they don't win support.

Answer 4

I think you have to preface your question in a different manner. " Why do Stupid  Liberal Americans think" Now you can add the balance of your sentence.

Answer 5

I don't believe I've ever heard it phrased that way.  Cool.  Well, obviously not everyone thinks that but that's not your question.  As pertaining to your question, the ones who think that do so for a variety of reasons such as:

-The P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act

-carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq

-providing false and deceptive rationales for war

-refusing legislative oversight of executive functions

-HSPD 20/NSPD 51

-various other executive orders and presidential directives

-some are angry about the Katrina situation

-ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, charge, and opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant"

-violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law

-instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States

-lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N.

-some people just never plain liked him to begin with

and I'm sure I've missed a few but that's pretty much the general idea.  I don't have more detailed information at the moment but can recommend looking up an impeachment site if you're interested in more explanation as to why they feel as they do.

Answer 6

When u send young men and women to a war based upon a lie, you have abused your power and pretty much committed murder.  People have lost lives based on his false reports and lies. These young people are trained to protect us and do an excellent job.  Our president took advantage of their loyalty and love for America .

Answer 7

Richard Nixon started it. Bush is his shadow.
