November 10, 2006I Like Bush
I Like Bush… I am a Republican, I like George Bush; I believe in what we are doing in Iraq, and like your column very much. I find in most social circles I am in, I am chastised if I say anything of the sort (except liking your column/newsletter). It is almost assumed that everyone hates Bush and is against the war and I feel if I say anything to the contrary, I am isolating myself, and somehow a very bad person and an “idiot” since that is what people share with me before they even know my view.
There are many smart, non-idiot, incredible people that believe in our President and what we are doing in the world. How do I respond to people that react so negatively and disgusted when I tell them I don’t hate Bush as they do? I need some Power Phrases…
Meryl’s Response
I like your words.
- There are many smart, non-idiot, incredible people that believe in our President and what we are doing in the world. I am one of them.
- I understand it’s not popular around here to support the President, but I do, and I’d appreciate your respect of that.
- If you’d ever like to have a discussion with an intelligent person whose views of the President are differernt from yours, I’m available.
Personally I welcome reasoned criticism of political figures but I don’t like ugly words on either side. You can say,
- I’m open to your opinions but I don’t enjoy hearing you disparage the President because I respect him.
