I ask this question because it seems most people have no idea of our freedoms lost throught the Patriot act and how much of the details inside this Patriot act were not made as public as they should be.

I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am concerned in Illinois!

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer,Rosie,Dan Rather

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you're running from them..

I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it's good..... and I'm proud that "God" is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

And what is going on with gas prices... again?

I believe "illegal" is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.

We want our country back!

Like, what are the chances of dying from passive smoking? of getting HIV? of dying in a terrorist attack? of dying in a car accident? etc. Is the money spent on combating these proportionate? Or do some issues get inflated by media hype, the popular imagination, and so on?

just wondering how much promise our #1 leader does but "really" doesn't do later on in his campaign as president....i think government today is a corporation that just sucks up tax money like a hoover and spends it on things that are useful but mostly (like over 90% so) on things that are useless

It was brand new, unopened and not expired. I had eaten half of it not even looking at it, and for some reason before I took that next bite something dark caught my eye and there was a large winged bug baked right into the middle of the filling. Needless to say I didn't take it well. And the whole experience gave me an anxiety attack.

My friend says I should save the pie, contact a lawyer and sue. I personally think that finding a WHOLE BUG in the middle of a pie is just ridiculous. Hostess should have standards that prevent things like that from happening. I mean that's a brand anyone would trust. WTF? Why do these things happen to me?!?! Goodness knows I can never eat another Hostess pie again.

Check out my earlier question from a few minutes ago about restored voting rights. Many people say "yes", citing the debt paid to society. It'll be interesting to see if that logic applies to gun rights.

What are caucuses, primary elections, and national conventions? How do people select delegates for electoral college? I still do not understand how they work even after searching for them on the internet. Would you make me distingush caucuses from primaries especially with simple words?

Do you think that people who use illegal drugs (marijuana, cocaine, heroin etc...)should be punished/imprisoned? Or should we help them get rehabilitated?
I would really like to hear your complete thoughts on this subject :)

I am a Westerner myself and why is that "most' others like myself have a tendency to disrespect older folks, impatient, have sex before marriage, more selfish, less loyal and patriotic to ones country?

Remember back in the 50's and 60's when respect and honor is paramount? When young men were gentlemens to young ladies and these ladies dressed and acted in modesty. Now we have young girls dressing up like hookers and young men acting like thugs, especially in the Western culture. Whats even worse is that most of us idolize Westerners like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Jenna Jameson, and Snoop Dogg. The young generations in other countries are also looking up to these icons.

We all know these people live superficial lives and we may deny the fact that we are superficial ourselves, however, the reality is that most of us who lives like this are living empty lives that lack significance. The end result will be depression.

Between 100,000 and 300,000 barrels a day of Iraq’s declared oil production over the past four years is unaccounted for and could have been siphoned off through corruption or smuggling, according to a draft American government report.

My reason for them staying is that when we leave there will be allot of blood shed and we leave we WILL HAVE LOST THE WAR!!!!! And then other countries will think of America as a weak nation- I never wanted America to go to war with them but now that they are there they NEED TO STAY THERE!!!!! --- WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT SO MANY LIVES AND MONEY FOR THIS WAR OVER THERE AND TO BRING THEM HOME WOULD MAKE IT ALL FOR NOTHING- WASTED MONEY AND LIVES---- THE REAL TARGET THAT WE SHOULD HAVE WENT TO WAR WITH IS AFGANISTAN, because THEY are the ones who attacked us—NOT IRAQ!!!!!!!!
OK i have told you why we should stay, and how i thought we shouldnt have gone over there in the first place, and how if we leave so many people will die, and about if we leave that all our lives that have been lost will be all for nothing, so again tell me why we should come home and if this is your first time answering then go ahead and speak your opinion.
