Have any of these people that are calling America faccist and evil actualy lived outside of this country and in a third world country wher their life would have very little meaning, where there right for speech was actualy banned, and because simply because they where westerners the where targeted for anihilation. Wher have you lived, for how long did yo live in that country, and what did they do. It couldnt have been a vacation, and it couldnt have been a holiday, youre interaction between you and the loals had to have been more then just roomservice or local shopping

Funny how NO ONE answered your question, the ones that tried more tapped danced around it...as is typical with liberal belly achers...They instead focus on things irrelevant such as your spelling, or say they don't have to prove anything to you which is because they CAN'T!
Great question and I wouldn't put it past you that the spelling errors were on purpose to prove a point. That they can't focus on anything, that they are easily sidetracked and as usual...have no response!
Too funny!!! LOL!

Okay illiterate fascist conservative your on. For a starter we don't call America fascist we call republicans fascist there is a big difference. I lived 2 years in the Persian gulf specifically Bahrain my ship was stationed there . I had great times there because I took the time to learn how they live day to day and was treated with respect as I treated them with respect. Being high handed and a holier than thou attitude will only make them dig in there heels and dismiss you as a rude fool. This is shown only too plainly in the Arab reactions of this president and his policies a little respect in the beginning would have paid huge dividends now. Unfortunately bush never caught on and now the Arab position on everything he does has hardened against him. The next president will have an opportunity to correct this problem I hope that person takes it and uses it wisely.

I have lived for Turkey at two separate points in my life for durations of 1 month to 4 months.
Turkey is a Muslim country, but if I said their leader sucked, it might fuel an argument, but I would not be imprisoned or thrown out. The Turkish people are very passionate, but also very tolerant of other people's personal choices and beliefs, and it's reflected in their history, during the Ottoman Empire Jews were encouraged to move to Turkey as a safe-haven from persecution in European powers.
Honestly, I would go farther and say that the Turkish people treat their women, and fellow human beings, whether a visitor or not, much better than people are treated in the US. Sure, phone service and mail service in Turkey are not as good as the US, but I would prefer to live there.
And if you doubt my interactions with the locals, I worked closely with one on various archaeological sites, I dated a guy, and I hung out with mostly Turkish university students while I was there.
My experiences in Turkey have taught me that Muslims and Turks are peaceful, loving people. And funny thing is, many of them said they felt sorry for the US and how our president keeps restricting our freedoms and they hope things will get better for us when he's gone.
Oh yeah and I'm a liberal and believe in democratic socialism....but I've never heard of a "liberal social commie" it's quite redundant and doesn't make much sense.

I reject the premises of your question.
First of all, I've heard very few of any stripe in this country calling American "fascist" (the correct spelling) or "evil." Opposing the president's policies isn't the same thing as "hating America."
Second, the measure of this country isn't simply whether or not things are better here than in some Third World dictatorship.
We set a higher standard for ourselves. It's called the Constitution of the United States. Some of us actually want our government to live by it. Conservatives demand that we weep for the young people who have died in Mr. Bush's war, to honor their sacrifice, because they died for our freedom. But apparently, we're not supposed to actually USE that freedom, to think for ourselves and speak our minds when we think that the country we love (and we DO love it) is headed down a bad road.
(Was OUR freedom ever really at stake? Osama and Saddam together--and they were never together--couldn't make a dent in our social paradigm)
Obedience and patriotism are not the same thing.

Let me ask you a question. Do you really want to live in a country where there is no discussion of ideas? A single party country where only one perspective is tolerated and those with different opinions are considered unacceptable and branded with labels (like liberal commies)?
If so you may be in luck. If we keep going in the current direction that government you described will be us.

spell checker please. It's not too difficult.
I've been around the world. America isn't fascist and completely evil yet. We as Americans, however, have the DUTY to make sure this doesn't happen to America.
So perhaps us Liberal Social Commies are playing the devil's advocate to some extent. Perhaps we are correct in thinking there are serious honesty and moral problems going on in our country. The fact that there is so much division in our country today attests to it.
Some one has to protect us from corruption on the inside.

Just because one is liberal does not mean he hates America. I love my country because I have the right to dissent. I can say what I want. The corporate people currently running the country want to change that. They want people to spend money and make the fat cats richer. They don't care about the poor, the enviroment, or the rest of the "Liberal social commie" (note the spelling correction) issues.

Of course not, but it is true that America is becoming the closest to a dictatorship than it has ever been. Did you know that in a dictatorship, the legislative and executive branches are one single branch? Well guess what, George W. Bush apparently feels he can disregard any laws ( the Constitution or international laws) to "get the job done". HE THINKS HE IS the legislative branch. And, being head of the executive branch, this is why many Democrats are fearing for the separation of powers.

why should i have to prove anything to you?
the thing that makes america great, is that it claims to value the individual and their rights, regardless of their experience and status in the world.
therefore, i need offer no proof to you. all i need to know is that i value freedom, and this country is compromising it for a little, unsure security. it is not a good trade we are making, i do not need to demonstrate that i have been oppressed to recognize such a simple truth.
we should be living up to our own standards, not simply making sure we're not as bad as the others.
