I believe the people who say such things are really the ones that do not love America because they do not believe in what it stands for. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness does not mean that everybody must tow the same line. Those of us that are willing to be critical of the powers that be are expressing those ideals not the ones that say "love it or leave it" . Goodbye to all you radical right wingers.

When it comes to being patriotic Americans seem to have a united front and stand together as one against the world. Nothing touches my heart more than seeing Veterans who fought for our freedom. I always thank them even if they are strangers. I am the type who calls each one I know on Veterans Day for a heartfelt THANK YOU with tears in my eyes. But of course I am from the South where we fly our flags proudly. We suck it up and dont complain about things instead we write letters and try to change the things we do not like with our best effort. I love America and I am proud to be an American.

I love my country too you know, but I sometimes disagree with where it is taking us. If there is something which I consider is radically wrong, I am at liberty to express my disapproval. Contrast this to China and Zimbabwe. I am grateful for the freedom - but it can only be achieved through a democratic process.

I, on the other hand, am NOT proud to be an American. This administrations actions have made me ashamed to be American.

TIE, have you expressed this to your elected officials? It does not help unless you express your opinions. Also, you must get out and work to have the people you want elected to office to get things changed. It does not help to sit back and complain with no action. Also as Briscot states "through a democratic process" Posted: May 8, 08 6:36amWhen it comes to being patriotic Americans seem to have a united front and stand together as one against the world. Not... Again, Pam, thanks. I believe that the 'democratic process' is nothing but an ideal without the 'court of public opinion'. To truly change anything, I believe the best opportunity is through that court. Posted: May 8, 08 6:53amSupport the troops. Stand behind the flag. God bless America. Disagree? Get out! This is the message that TheIn... Disagreement is fine, it is the American Way. In fact, intelligent, informed, disagreement should be required - it shows taking an active, qualified, interest and making the effort to steer things back on (what you believe to be) the right course. However, "I am NOT proud to be an American," "I do not love this country," and "I hate America" are borderline and the last one may cross the line. At the very least, they suggest the people making those statements should go live in other parts of the world for a while to see how we compare to, for example, Russia, Cuba, North Korea, China, most of Africa, and nearly the entire middle east. |  ADVERTISEMENT  |
