isn't this being unpatrotic?
haven't these people read the "Declaration of Independence", by Thomas Jefferson?

Let them, the more ridiculous they get, the more brainless
they look & the better for us.
Besides, you know, they have no issues to ask about,
because they're obviously, too frustrated with their sex lives.

All Republicans do not say anything every time. I have read the Declaration Of Independence, but I think you missed the "BIG"
words, like the ones that say we do not have to agree with you.
I do not think it is that you do not like being called Anti American but more that we do not agree with you.
What will you do after President Bush leaves office? I quit looking after 50 questions but 48 out of 50 were direct attacks on President Bush or Republicans. Get some other interest - we Republicans have other interest other than you.

I think it was just a gradual political swing toward the illusion that Republicans stand for Patriotism and Christianity. In reality, Democrats are also spiritual and patriotic.
The political machine is trying to put us in "all or nothing" corners, which is totally misleading. Where do the moderates fit in, and it is rare that one person can completely agree with the formats of either party.

Boy do u have it backwards.
Its not anti-american to disagree.
What it is, is that its anti-american to call another american a 'hitler' or nazi, just because you (democrats) disagree with republicans.
Thats what democrats tend to do, they properly ***** and moan about the oppostition which is ok (thats a right we all have), but when you cross the line and call someone a hitler or a stormtropper and litterally compare policies or person to HITLER thats not even close to being american.

If treason isn't free speech then Bush needs to shut up. Also it's called a guilt trip tactic. They try to guilt trip you into conforming to their beliefs, if you don't they play the "you hate America" card. EXAMPLE BELOW
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
SOUND FAMILIAR?

It's all a propaganda tactic to control the message and discourage dissent. The ultra-right wing nutjobs who've hijacked the GOP are most likely to play this card. As Clinton has pointed out, these wackjobs have divided America, and it's up to all concerned Democrats, moderates, and Republicans who want to restore the GOP to its early glory to vote these interests out of office.
Dissent should never be confused with disloyalty, despite what O'Reilly, Coulter and Friends may say.

Even in Jefferson's time people tried not to say things that gave comfort to the enemy.There are better ways to express your disagreement in a Representative Democracy w/o announcing to the world how divided we are. Please be honest & admit your political motivation , even if you only admit it to yourself, and don't let your fear short circuit your duty to help protect your friends & neighbors from people who want to kill us for not taking up their religion.

No it's not! Now you know the we always have the constitutional right to agree with Bush on his policies! Every time he comes up with some stupid policy from his mind, people take the chance to criticize it! Is this un-American? Or is it unpatriotic? I have to say no on both counts. You know our government leaders have to be accountable to the voters who put them in office. If the politicians do anything that's deemed questionable or inappropriate, then they will have an earful from the electorate. There's nothing wrong with that! Understand me now? I hope this would answer your question in great detail.

Because we can't hear when their heels click?
And please folks, some of us in the Republican party are just as upset as anybody about the way it has been hijacked for the last four administrations by fascist abominations wrapping themselves in the flag and trying to make a campaign worker out of the Christ. So don't lump us all with those other lumps of...

I agree. I think it's become some sort of religion and it's getting kind of strange. Maybe the job of playing on their fears is working. They will be sorry when it's too late.

Probably for the same reason as you do, towards all who happen to not agree with your views, or happen to lean towards the "right"!
