This is America love it or leave it. Who agrees?

Answer 1

I agree with you all the way. That's what I will never get with these Mexicans that come over here. They literally die in the sand and when some of them do make it over here, they have only insults for our country and our people.

AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT

Answer 2

Agreed

Answer 3

America is founded on people who have problems and disagreements with the way things work. Our entire system is (supposed to be) based upon dissent.

So if you're saying that we should all be blind eyed followers who condemn anything negative anybody has to say about the US, then no, I don't agree.

If you're saying that you should love this country enough to disagree when somethings going wrong, a person who thinks for themselves, a person who tries to fix the obvious problem even if the masses are content to watch Everybody Love Raymond while condemning anybody who goes against the status quo, then yes, I agree.

Answer 4

I think it depends on what we WANT America to BE...-An all (fill in the blank) version; a fat & happy version; a Disnified version; a politically correct version...- choose your poison. The reality IS- America has always been a complicated & ever changing blend of peoples, cultures & dreams- Which must be a pretty good thing seeing as how so many people want to move here from somewhere ELSE! I don't think we're perfect...-Like every place, we have "issues". But we are so great- because we ARE this way...-and if ANYONE doesn't like the way it's "going"- I'm sure there's SOMEPLACE in the world that'll take you in. -"La-La Land" is just on the other side of our imagination... :)

Answer 5

I love this country more than anything but I also have the right to speak up when we do something wrong. Just because some don't agree with what someone has to say doesn't mean they have to leave the country. I also feel it is the most stupid statement I have ever heard.

Answer 6

Totally Agree!!

Answer 7

It is our right to feel however we want about our country. I bet that most people (myself included) will tell you that they love our country, they just hate the government, or the heartless people living here. You should respect the country if you are living here temporarily, even if you don't love it. Realize that America has done alot for you, and try to do what you can to help it. That does not mean that you have to love America more than your country of origin.

Answer 8

I agree. Our country has flaws , but compared to the rest of the world this is as good as it gets.
As americans we take our freedom for granted. We feel very intitled. Also we think we are unlikely to have any war or terroist on our land. 911 proved that wrong. Even now we don't have any fear, but we sure are quick with complaining about things.

Our militory is constantanly stopping things like 911 happening and people protest anyone in the services.

Answer 9

We'll there are things that people wont like in america (thats the upside and the downside to democracy, nuts w/ fringe ideas wont matter in the whole but the whole will plow through good ideas if they arnt popular) but i think if you dont like democracy and capitalism you might as well get ur **** 'a movin out

Answer 10

Only fascists confuse nationalism with patriotism.

"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from the government."
- Thomas Paine


"A President is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the Constitution".
-- President James Madison

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither."
- Ben Franklin

"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
- Samuel Adams

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
- Edmund Burke

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
- President Abraham Lincoln

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
- 'Mark Twain'

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President."
- President Theodore Roosevelt

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
- President Theodore Roosevelt, 1912

"I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually."
- James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

"So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy."
- Roger Baldwin

"Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion."
- Oscar Wilde

"Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it."
- George Bernard Shaw

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
- Dr. Martin Luther King

"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph."
- Haile Selassie

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
- Reverend Martin Luther King Jr
