Nothing more pro-American than voting out a hatemonger through the democratic process!

God willing, every person in her district that cares about truth will
show up on election day to re-elect her, fuck Chris Matthews.

hopefully, Dodd, Frank, Pelosi and Murtha will all be voted out and
replaced by people with enough integrity to vote for America and
not for themselves.

When did politics get so bad?

Oh wait. Probably when we put in a two party system. I think we should dig up the grave of whoever's idea that was and smack em.

Does that mean Ben Franklin came up with the idea? If so, god damnit. I swear sometimes Ben Franklin should have just shut up....

It doesn't help my image of him when he was a womanizer and an alcoholic. Oh well.

What are you talking about? I'm frankly confused....is not being a 100% fan of Ben Franklin un-American? I guess it is....

To say Obama can't even acquire the lowest level clearance, a public trust, is laughable. Obama already has some kind of clearance to be able to serve in some of the committees he has. Let's take a look:

Committees:
Foreign Relations, Member
Health, Education, Labor & Pensions, Member
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Member
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Member
Subcommittee on African Affairs, Member
Subcommittee on Children and Families, Member
Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Member
Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety, Member
Subcommittee on European Affairs, Chair
Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security , Member
Subcommittee on International Development and Foreign Assistance, Economic Affairs and International Environmental Protection, Member
Subcommittee on State, Local, and Private Sector Preparedness and Integration, Member
Veterans' Affairs, Member

How ironic!

I love the idea of anti-American , it's something I have been called on a number of ocassions and still find it hilarious.
If I don't like what your goverment is doing I am called Anti -American.
Therefore my hatred of American pot laws (I find the penalties far too harsh) would also make me Anti-American as they are something American. :D

Do you see the insanity of the very use of anti just because someone wishes to change something about America , the person in question may be happy with 99.9% of what America does and is, but because they express a dislike for 0.01% they are branded with the stupidest of titles.

It all sounds very 50's and reds under the bed. :wtf:

Tit for tat rep is kinda childish don't you think :S2:

I live in the country that drew up the document that your bill of rights is based on except our version has been around since June 15, 1215 CE.
I like my country but I know it could be run better and I also know that corruption is rife.
If someone were to criticise the British goverment there would be a good chance I would agree with them , I certainly wouldn't think of calling them anti-British as I would consider the fact that they have the freedom to criticise to be totally British.
Although in all honesty the concept of democracy is neither American or British.. it is in fact Greek. :D
