Bush supporters... give me your opinions
Okay this is directed to Republicans/those who support President Bush (Don't take this as my attempt to bash anybody or any political group, I'm merely curious...also dont take this as me generalizing, I'm not saying EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN believes all these)
1. Do you honestly, truly believe that in the short term the Iraq War's main purpose is to liberate Iraquis, or to preserve a stable oil supply from the Middle East?
2. How can you say that it is completely and utterly unethical to allow a woman to have control over her body and have an abortion, while at the same time supporting that the state does away with prisoners with the Death Penalty?
3. Do you think homosexuals were born inferior to heterosexuals and do not deserve the same rights as them simply because of whom they choose to love?
4. Why do you believe that responding to terrorism by reducing the freedom of Americans is anything other than giving the terrorists exactly what they want?
5. Why are antiwar protesters deemed unpatriotic, but pro-war people praised?
Again, my goal is not to offend anybody. I just want honest opinions.

Maybe give some free advice about: Activism?
Why do you assume all Bush supporters feel that way? You are being told what to think. Think for yourself - then ask a question.

To address your inquiries:
1. How could anyone be so silly as to even *suggest* that is Bush's reason for being in Iraq? I certainly do not believe that is the reason he started the war.
2. An unborn child is innocent, completely innocent. A women has control over her body, yes, but the baby is not *her* body. That baby is an innocent soul that feels pain and is very much alive. I am unsure about the death penalty; however, those who are on death row have been put there because they've committed crimes "worthy" of that punishment.
3. I certainly do NOT believe this. Homosexuals are on the absolute same level as heterosexuals and should be treated as such, and given most, if not all, of the same rights.
4. What do you mean by reducing the freedom of Americans? What freedoms have been reduced?
5. I am not pro-war, though I do support our troops and I hope to have them all safely home soon. I am against anti-war protesters because they dishonor those who are fighting and have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. What a shame it is for a soldier to give his life selflessly to protect the freedoms of others to have his honor stripped from him because he died for an "unjust cause." Honor those who are fighting and those who have given their lives by supporting them while they're over there.
Those are my opinions. I know many people on this site may not be particularly fond of them, but there you have it. =)
EDIT: So, because you don't like my opinion you give me a four? That's not very nice. =)

I'm not a republican so I can't answer this, BUT. That person's point below:
A brother and a sister are part of the same family. Two men marrying each other aren't from the same family. It's 100% different.
"A man is in love with a gorilla" HELLO. That is an ANIMAL! Gay people are not animals. They are human beings and I wish people would see that. People jump straight to the whole "Well should I be allowed to marry a sheep, then?" It's a completely ignorant answer. Gay people are human beings.
Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents about that.

1. I believe that it was for both things.
2. When you are put to death from the death penalty, you have murdered somebody. Taken someone elses life. Taxes are paying to keep the prisoner alive. Why keep alive someone who murdered people? With abortion, you are killing a fetus who has done nothing. Thusforth...you are the murderer. I'm not sure I understand the question. If you had the sex...then, really, the baby was your fault. Even with birth control, you always know there is a chance. I dont know if that even answers your question...I'm not quite sure I understood it *sheepish grin* lol
3. No...I dont think you are born gay. Alright, think of it this way: A brother and sister are in love. Shouldnt they be allowed to marry? A daughter loves her father? Them? A man is in love with a gorilla. Shouldnt they? Marriage is a union between two people of the same sex...its sacred...and if we let gays marry, shouldnt we let two examples above marry also. I have nothing against the homosexuals whatsoever! It really is none of my business what their preference is.
4. After 9/11 the Americans wanted to feel safe. We are simply giving them what they want and trying to keep everything safe.
5. Antiwar protestors are unpatriotic because they are being extremely rude about the war. Protesting the war is fine, but sometimes they go so rude as to blatantly say awful things about Bush and our country and stuff. My question is if they hate it so much why dont they just move from the country! Lol.
Those were very good questions. I dont know if my answers were that great, but I hope it answers it a bit at least. Hmm.

I'm going to answer your questions as best as I can, though I don't understand a few of them.
1) I believe that the purpose of the Iraq War war was to liberate Iraquis AND to preserve a stable oil supply AND to make an example of the terrorists in Iraq. So, yes and no, I guess.
2) I don't think that abortion laws can be equated with the death penalty. I think that if abortion is legal, then your can't give someone two murder charges for killing a pregnant woman. My view is that if you charge someone with an extra murder charge for the death of the fetus, you are then valuing the fetus as life, which means that abortion laws saying that a fetus does not have a life are invalid. I'm not yet sure how I feel either way about it, but I do know that you cannot logically have both pro-abortion laws along with murder charges for the death of a fetus. Then every mother who had an abortion would, by law, be guilty of murder. Do you see what I'm saying?
3. I don't entirely understand the wording of this one...I don't think that homosexuals were "born" infereior, because I don't think someone is born hetero- or homosexual. I don't know how to answer the rest of the question.
4. I also don't understand this one. Examples would help some.
5. And for this one I just don't have an opinion.
So, I hope that you appreciate that I took the time to try to answer, and that my answers don't offend you, because that was not my goal.
4.
