I personally saw two people (one a 75 year old White American) who were carted away by police in my gym for making anti-bush statements. One an immigrant from eastern europe mistakenly assumed to be an arab - who felt going to war in Iraq had more to do with oil then democracy and expressed outrage during the bombing of lebanon. Geez - it may be a great country - but minds of many have gotten awfully small.
A few points-
1. 100.000 people showed up in NYC to protest during the republican convention- coverage ZERO
2. It is apparently illegal for a mother of a child who is serving in IRAQ TO WEAR A T SHIRT in an open session of congress.
And I do agree - with the other person- freedom of speech while a vanishing quality in the western world is not uniquely american.

You better not ha ha too much since 9/11 you have been losing freedoms on a daily basis. Check out the White house web site and look under executive orders. Bush has signed more then all other presidents combined! None of them are for the good of the public in general almost all show practically contempt for individual freedoms. These apply to ordinary born in America Americans.
This administration is obsessively secret. All the more reason to keep them under scrutiny...Please I am very concerned about this.

Yes, as well as in Europe, Australia, Canada, India and some countries in Asia, South America, and Africa.
It's great not being even remotely unique!

Public figures ought to comprehend they are going to be criticized and ridiculed with the help of a few. the first change is a priceless good. the absolutely limits must be (i will use the classic examples) adversarial to doing such issues as yelling "hearth" in a crowded theatre at the same time as there is not any hearth, and outright threats adversarial to people. gazing our leaders, i assume mendacity is mostly ok.

We don't make fun of them.
Until you can come up with an answer on a piece of question with those "Three little words" on "Who are you" left behind by our creator for each and every living human kind to come up with an answer vital for the survival and advancement of living human kind in planet of apes.
So we don't simply kick them on their butts in planet of apes.

Yes, freedom of speech is priceless. I think it would be way cooler to have a leader that wasn't such an easy mark.

Why do wish to mock my great Leaders?
What had they done to you?
They were elected to office by the people and they are trying their best to help "ALL" Americans?
Most congressmen are Christian Americans who will never sin.
Bush is pretty much, almost the return of, Jesus to me.
