To those of you who feel that the USA has given you an unfair deal! Why not leave?
Find another country that has everything you want! One that will listens to every little bit of BS you have to say!
You claim that you believe in majority rule! However, when a decision has been made that is contrary to your views, you cry, and pout!
So why not go where you’ll be happy!
Because to stay here in the USA means as long as there is ONE AMERICAN solider fighting and dying overseas, we need solidarity, not your sarcasm.

Nick F, let me understand this! I exercise my right of free speech, and merely ask a question of you bleeding heart liberals, that if you are so unsatisfied with this nation, leave!
But I guess the freedom of choice and expression is reserved on for your type!

because it 's a stupid concept
essentially you are saying the government can do whatever they want and if you object, too bad why don't you leave the country
it's idiotic, imagine telling the people at the Boston Tea Party: "America Love it, or Leave it"

... because that's a fundamentally un-American idea...
and, odds are, it would lead to the downfall of the country...
of course you probably don't understand "why" or you wouldn't have asked this question...
well... the whole idea of America is based on everyone sharing their ideas and the best ideas (and those with the best ideas) winning elections and passing laws...
if everyone merely ignores the things that are wrong in America (as they would have to in your 'love it or leave it' idea)... then nothing would ever get fixed... and things will always go wrong as things change...
and if nothing ever got fixed that was wrong... then the country wouldn't last very long...
AND also... why do conservatives get to cry about welfare, public schools, taxes, immigration and much more?
IT'S AMERICA... stop crying or leave by your theory...
oh that's right... I forgot... you're a hypocrite...

Wouldn't that have been kind of like saying, "The British Colonies of North America--love them or leave them!" to those who protested against acts of the British Parliament in the years leading up to the American Revolution?
It is the RESPONSIBILITY of American citizens to question their government, and the actions taken by that government. They work for US...or have you forgotten that? Your question and comments express the mindset that allows Fascism to grow and take over a country.
And it is the right of the minority to peacably become the majority. Do you realize how many times the minority has successfully argued for the overturning of some rule passed by the majority? It is called DEMOCRACY in action.
Or is it your belief that the minority of the people in this country who want abortion to be outlawed should be quiet, too?

You know, I'm getting pretty sick of self-righteous types who define the loyalty and patriotism of other Americans by how much they kiss up to the President or main party leaders. I wish they would read Luke 6, particularly that part about not pointing out specks in the eyes of others while having logs in their own eyes.

Unless it became a dictatorship along the way......

Ya love it or leave it as long as it is your way....cause you know everything, and of course you are right. Ever here of diversity, did you know diversity makes you stronger. Last time I remember someone wanting the country to be all one way was in Germany. Why don't you go there....

Simply put.... the same Constitution that gives you the right to ask them to leave, gives them the right to stay and voice their opinion. Debate is essential in a democracy. Frankly, I would bet your "Love it or Leave it" stance would not be within the majority whose rule you are so in favor of!!!!

Because it's a tired cliche that implies that the user of the phrase's definition of "America" is the only valid one and that people can't have different opinions about what is right for "America" or try to change things that they don't agree with.

The slogan "love it or leave it" ignores one important option that Americans have, the option to change it.

The saying should probably read "America - love it, work to improve it, or feel free to leave."
