That love our country, and who are patriotic? Why must you bash the war? Disrespect our men and women protecting your freedom of speech? Or does that matter to you? Do you just take the American way of life as a right, and not a priveledge, would you defend America?

I agree, I recently watched Band of Brothers all the way through and after watching that I really can't stand all of the recent hatred for America by it's own citizens, no less.
It makes you wonder if people even have any idea what the military has done for this country, but with the deterioration of the school system and the institutionalized liberalism which is bound and determined to dis-mantle the military it's no wonder why so many of the ******* have no clue.
icetender- You sound like you may have a brain so why is it so hard for you to understand that our enemies own televisions and read newspapers. The biggest problem is not you going out and talking at dinner voicing your opinion, it's when there is such distention in our supposed leaders that makes our country look fragmented and emboldens our enemies to think they are effecting our policy and have allies in our own government because they speak so harshly against their own government.

Bush bashing has turned from a minor annoyance into a serious obsession for some people. I mean there are people who spend their whole day bashing Bush to the point where nothing else matters and it's pretty pathetic.
Bush bashing has actually had a negative effect on the DNC. When Joe Sixpack sees a band of socialists and anarchists marching in NYC saying "down with Bush vote Kerry" it doesn't exactly sit comfortable with them plus the "Bush supporters are just a bunch of dumb rednecks." comments are sure to win over the southern voters.
The interesting thing is Bush has about 2 years left (Hugo Chavez take note Bush will leave office at the end of his term and won't force a constitutional change to keep him in office after his term ends unlike some hypocrtical Venezuelan dictators i could name) so what will happen when he's gone? What will the Bush haters have to obsess over?

I don't hate Bush. I think he should be fairly tried on multiple counts of treason and executed, but I don't hate him. I love our country. I love all countries along with the planet they sit on. Humans, however, can be so stupid. I, of course, include myself in that assessment. I "bash" the war because it made absolutely no sense from the start, and BTW it's not a war anymore it's an occupation. None of the stated reasons for our going over has held any water and one (at least this one) is left wondering if we'll ever know why our troops are there. I have the greatest respect for our troops and am saddened beyond words to see them used as pawns for Haliburton or big oil or evangelicals or whoever is really calling the shots. I dearly wish I could defend America. I would start by putting our government in the hands of people with bigger hearts and smaller wallets.

Please read one book.
Fiasco, by Thomas Ricks.
He interviewed hundreds of people, including a great number of US military who served in Iraq. It is a highly factual, well-researched work of writing. The way the Dept of Defense (Bush's responsiblity) went in with no Plan IV - how to secure the peace. How the Coaltion Provisional Authority (Paul Bremer) totally screwed up the post-war reconstruction and administration.
By and large, my problem is with the leadership of the Defense Dept, and some, but not all of the unit leaders in the Army. Many generals were good, but several should have been fired.
You will come away wondering why we ever went there in the first place. The Bush administration never had, and still does not have, a strategy for Iraq. They cannot admit that huge mistakes were made, so they just keep bungling along, at the cost of 2,600 US soldiers lives. And more to come, in the name of "honoring the dead." How many more have to die, to honor those before them, is way beyond me.
If you don't read seriously about the war in Iraq, then your support for Bush is naiive. If you do read a lot about the war, and reach a different conclusion, well then, we agree to disagree.

Calling us hypocrites because we won't let a rouge nation like Iran and N. Korea have nuclear weapons. Fukc all you haters, love this country or leave!!

It's hard to be comited to a country that is perfidious to itself! Why are zealots running this country? Our freedom of speech? What about the Patriot Act? Sure it may have busted a couple of terrorist cells but at the same time it takes away our freedom, now he could listen to our phone conversation? Could somebody say friendly-totalitarian state?

I am a U.S. Army Vetran, post 9/11, my husband is still serving in Iraq (2nd go round) and I support all branches of the Military, and soilders, but I don't support this administration and this war in Iraq.
I feel that it is a persons patriotic duty to stustain our freedoms and right that make America so diverse and free, with this administration they are taking away more and more rights. It is any U.S. Citizines' right to voice their opinion on this administration, president and Iraq! Many more brave men and wemon have died to give us that gift.
I don't support the war in Iraq, because its wrong! There were no terrorist ties, no WMD, no reason for us to occupy this country and if anything by our efforts in Iraq, we have opened a vast portol for terrorism to take root. I don't support the Iraqi war, because what are our soldiers dying for? Who are they dying for?
Many people like to say that we liberated a country from a horrible dictator, but tell me why we haven't helped out other countries in Western Europe, N. Korea, Africa, and South America from their evil dictators, who oppress, starve, tourture, and murder their own people. I'm not saying that Sadam is a saint by any means, but people need to shut up when they try to push it was all humanitarian to remove an evil dictartor, when there are a ton more, who have been commiting worse atrocites longer than Sadam Hussien.
I'm enraged that so many brave men and wemon are dying and risking their lives overseas in hopes of preserving our freedom, but back home our freedoms are being shattered and jeporidized before our very eyes.
I have defened America, I have served my country, I have given the Army 4 years of my life, I feel for having put my life on the line for my country I own the right to maintain my opinon of this conflict in Iraq, this administration and this president.

I've NEVER insulted the military! And if you think Bush=Military you're wrong!
I dislike George W. Bush but I love America and am willing to fight for it. I am, I'm considering joining up. But I swear to God that I will spend every day doing my duty to criticize or compliment the administration. Be it liberal or conservative. That's hwo we grow. No one grows from ignoring criticism. Communist Russia didn't allow criticism, once they did they became a fairly democratic country. I support freeodom speech and I swear I'm going to use it and you're not going to tell me it's unpatriotic. People are dieing right now so I can say what I have to say and feel however I want.
DEAL WITH IT!
God bless America and the people who understand what Freedom of Speech means! (Not to mention our troops)

Hating Bush doesn't make one not an American. We have the right in this country to disagree with our government and also have the right to express this displeasure.
Arguments such as yours which attempt to take away basic American rights is truly the "non-American" thing.
