And I hate this country? Bush is the most corrupt politician we've had in office. And I don't believe his and the rest of the government's version of how everything has unfolded since 9/11. I thought I was allowed to express the way I felt, even if other people don't agree with me, but I guess that a misuderstanding on my part.

I truly sympathise with you. I share your frustration. It may very well be that the people accusing you are the unpatriotic ones. You may very well be the true patriot. I do not know you or know
your background, but I do know this. It takes real courage to speak your mind in America today. Many people just don't want the truth today. The truth makes people very uncomfortable. The truth can take people out of their comfort zone. To maintain our country we need truth seekers. There are very few people in America today that have the ambition or courage to research the truth to the degree necessary to gain an understanding of what is happening and why. These people however will not hesitate to insult the people who do have the ambition and courage. The truth is not always pleasant, but it is always the truth. More harm will result from denying the truth than from facing the truth. The true patriot is the person that is brave enough to spaek the truth. In doing so he is trying to protect and maintain his country rather than letting in slide down the slippery slope to hoplessness. Do nate hate your country because there are some good people in it yet that have the courage and honor to speak what they feel is the truth.

Informed debate is a great thing. The key word here is informed. Get real and don't be such a wimp. You can say whatever you like, but don't go into the fetal position if you are challenged.
Are you for real, Bush is the most corrupt? You are much more naive than you think.

All government's lie. It is a fact of life. Here in England, it is a democratic right to criticise the government. Personally, I think that Tony Blair is a slimeball who should never have reached where he has. Blair and Bush are like two peas in a pod.
It is okay to hate those who run the country but you should never hate your country. Have a nice day.

you can disagree with your government and be a patriot,,, in fact you have an obligation to make informed decisions about government, before you go to the polls to vote for the candidate that you believe will serve the people best,, that is what makes America free,, also vulnerable,, to corruption,, even in our government,, to terrorists,, to the over zealous publishing and broadcasting news media,, be your own journalist,, ask the questions,,, find the answers,,, if your not certain of the answer,,, keep searching for the truth,,,, be a leader,,, we have way too many followers.

Hold On! Because you have a brain to realize these things, & to
express your concern, you are the real patriot.
You are not alone, those people who disagree are just slowing
progress for a stronger, healthier, smarter America.
