I wonder what the board 'haters' would think of this Gallup survey?



In the top 5 are THE MILITARY, THE POLICE and THE PRESIDENCY!
My guess is that the board 'haters' would put those three in the BOTTOM 5...
Kind of shows ya how 'out of touch' the RP Libertarians actually are.


The "CONGRESS",Senator Paul's group, is rated the LEAST TRUSTWORTHY.   (No surprise)


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

was this poll taken before of after the leaks broke?

The only who should brag here are the Military, small business and the police...

The rest of the entities on this list should be ashamed of the pathetic percentages.

Only 3 have a favorable opinion and I would bet that would drop to 2 if people weren't concerned about what others might think of them, to me people need to earn my trust or support and not many on that list earned or deserve it.

Bush’s ratings beat Obama’s

By Jennifer Rubin, Published: June 12, 2013 at 11:00 amE-mail the writer

Well, some of us knew it would have eventually, but the speed with which it has it rather remarkable.

President Bush speaks to rescue workers, firefighters and police officers from Ground Zero on Sept. 14, 2001 (Getty Images)

Gallup yesterday found:

    Americans’ views of former president George W. Bush have improved, with 49% now viewing him favorably and 46% unfavorably. That is the first time since 2005 that opinions of him have been more positive than negative.

    George W. Bush’s favorable rating is more positive now among all party groups than it was in March 2009, when it dipped to 35% overall. Currently, 84% of Republicans, 46% of independents, and 24% of Democrats have a favorable view of Bush, each up more than 10 points since 2009. However, the more recent improvement in his ratings, a five-point overall uptick since November 2010, has been more apparent among Democrats, whose rating has increased by 10 points since then.

Banks are up 5% after stealing hundreds of billions from the American people, and it was authorized by the congress that gets the lowest rating.  Yup, in general, Americans are STUPID.

BoxofCrap like most left-wing nuts underscores his/her extremism and immaturity by referring to people that happen to have a different opinion as "haters."

Democratic Voice Of Rabid:
Oh there is little doubt about the HATE.  Just read Henry's post when a police officer was shot several
times while stopping a speeder who was driving over 100MPH.

Henry referred to the officers "squealing like a pig" from his wounds before the gunman finally
killed the policeman with a shot to the head.

I doubt some on the board would deny their hate for the US Military or the police.

You broadly paint anyone who disagrees with you or your extremist left-wing nuts colleagues as "haters."    Then try to justify your irrationality by citing one extreme post from one person.   That is the typical way that left-wing nuts try to push their hollow, value-less extremist agenda.

Wrong gain DVO Rabid.

I welcome a diverse opinion on this board.  There is little to be gained or learned if we all have the
same opinion.  Hearing an opposing view, or just a different reason for a similar view is always helpful
and informative.
You seem to be one of those Black and White people who see everything one way or the other with
no room for a gray area in between.

I wouldn't classify most posters on this board as 'HATERS'... even though most disagree with my opinions.
The few that are 'haters' don't hide the fact.

The bigots who refer to Muslims as Muzzies...
The haters who promote distrust of all police because of the actions of a few...
The promoters of greed at the expense of the truly needy...
The 'haters'!

Your comments are laughable.

I have always sought out a wide diversity of sources for news and opinions -- and unlike a lot of other people who are registered Democrats, I am not afraid to support positions that are different and perhaps more left of center.   I am also not afraid to call out members of my party who I believe are either not the best candidates for an office or who when in office have taken a wrong position, done something wrong or are ill-suited to retain that office.

Was I lying about that part or were you just sickened by the truth, you still never commented on the 1st video that was posted showing close to a dozen unarmed citizens being gunned down. What was it that you said... oh yeah "it was just a couple bad apples", tell that to the victims families who will never see their loved ones again because of those "bad apples". I said the same thing there as I said here, trust or support needs to be earned, being part of a group doesn't earn you trust, your actions do.

And you think that you are somehow above others because of your belief???
I and many on this board don't follow the 'party line' on issues... but you single yourself out as some
sort of purist, while your words prove you to be just the opposite.

Do you think that I support Police Brutality??? The few bad apples who commit these crimes give a
bad name to all police.  Their crime is worse than murder because they wear the badge of a govt
representative.
IMO, one convicted of murder, they then should be sentenced to more time for abusing their power as
representatives of our govt.

Saying all cops are bad... is just not true and you know it.  But your view treats them all the same... where
I would prefer we all honor the good and condemn the bad.

Yes I treat them all the same until they actually weed out the bad ones, cops know who the bad ones are, their silence makes them just as guilty.

I don't single myself out as a purist or better than anyone else.  The fact that YOU seem to think I am better than others is flattering .. but I just consider myself an average American citizen who just happens to be well-informed --- who is confident enough and unafraid to voice my opinion.  

I am NOT going to apologize for having different opinions nor am I going to apologize for voicing them confidently and loudly.   If it bothers you or others --- too bad.
