United under God.  Do you think that might be their problem?

My political persuasion is my own.\n\nI am an affiliate of NO political party.\n\n\nWhy? Because they are full of s h i t.

Your premise is flawed. Criticism & dissent (not hate, silly) are essential to keeping a democracy honest.

It's all rederick and useful propoganda to use against one another during election time (especially) but it's all screwed up right now because the Republicans are getting most of the heat because of the War, and all the problems that have arisen from that alone are huge, and a big deal to the overall majority of Americans so it's great ammo to use if your a democrat and a politician trying to run a successful campaign to Win a seat in office....dont you think? (even though we know it's all the same BS from both sides ) If your a Republican your going to use the fact that Liberals support immigration and some sort of work program as a sign of being whimpy and not protecting our borders ....its all BS. What have the Republicans done to protect our border? what have either party done thus far?? Nothing in my mind. I think it is up to the American people to stand up and say " Enough Already!" Demand real answers, a real plan, real priorities they have set aside, when it becomes a blame glame match it is up to us to be the mediator and to stop it. We really need to overall demand more from the people we elect in office so these kinds of blame games dont happen as much or as often, and they stick to the issue or topic at hand! Period!

Are you a member of the National Front or similar organization - your question and past questions would suggest that indeed you are.  Are you trying to stir up hatred against immigrants........just wondering..........

Well, isn't asking questions like you ask a way of looking for debate? I happen to agree with your viewpoint, but when I see a question like "Why can't we all be good Americans & just support our great President Bush?", I get pretty hot under the collar myself. People like to argue, and hope to somehow "convince" you that you are wrong. Human nature. Keep asking questions, not just here, but everywhere.

Neddie...have you checked the ratings you're getting for these Q's lately?  Your followers have deserted you and been replaced by a pretty rowdy bunch here!\n\nIf your positions represent the majority of Americans, why isn't that reflected in this forum?  By the way, do you agree with the platforms of the (mostly conservative) Democratic saviors who just got elected?  \n\nA simple yes or no doesn't work, does it.  Why?...it's because life, politics and even Yahoo Answers is complicated.  Don't be afraid of nuance.  It sure beats trying to to fit every odd-shaped peg into one size hole.\n\nI'm getting worried about you.  Maybe you need a little vacation, or perhaps some Yoga and deep breathing execises.  Relax...it's just politics!

No.  In a nation founded on the principles of democratic participation, it is blind allegience is, in fact, actively unpatriotic.  In arguing for the unconditional, unciritical support of government policies one undermines the philosophy of individuality and civic participation on which a democracy is founded.  Last I checked, undermining the founding principles of your country was not an act of patriotism.\n\nAlso, I think that thompj64us has a point that supporting policies that will lead to the destruction of your country is distincly unpatriotic, even when those policies are written by government officials.\n\n_______________\nTo answer Andy's question (which by the way are actually irrelevant):\nNote that the "more or less" does not make sense as there is no point of compairison, and I will ignore it.  Also note that his compulsive use of "Democrats" is idiotic and irrational, as it implies that these acts are acceptable unless the person performing the action is a Democrat.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to oppose the war?\n\nIt is patriotic to oppose a war that is hurting our country.  What is unpatriotic is supporting a war that will devastate international relations, cost the nation billions of dollars, and cost countless American and Iraqi lives.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to bash their country \n>>>on foreign soil?\n\nIn a country that values free speech, it is unpatriotic to sensor the speech of others.  It is not, however, unpatriotic to speak in opposition to policies or practices with which one does not agree.  In a democracy, dissent is never unpatriotic.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to have the same \n>>>talking points as the number 2 Al Queada operative?\n\nWTF?  I have no idea what you're talking about.  However, it is not inherent unpatriotic to have something in common with Al Queada or any other organization or nation.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to hope that \n>>>America loses the war on terror so they can score political points?\n\nI don't think anyone is hoping we will lose the war.  However, I do believe that the harm done by the current administration can and will vastly exceed the cost of the war, and in that regard it may be in our best intrest as a nation to lose the war and elect someone competent.\n\n>>>Want to lose a war? Let a Democrat run it (aka Black HAwk Down)\n\nWant to invade a soveign nation on false pretexts, start a war that costs billions of dollars and countless lives, and find yourself stuck in that war with no exit plan in sight?  Let Bush run the country.  Leaders on both sides have made bad wartime decisions.  The current war in Iraq is certainly among the worst military fiascos our nation has seen, and the travesty is expounded by the fact that the evidence on which the war was started has since been demonstrated to have been deliberately and meticulously forged.\n\n__________\n>>>If the questions are so irrelevant then why take the time to \n>>>answer them? \n\nThey're irrelevant to the question of the patriotism blind allegience, but they're still insulting, and (as per my answers), the implications are incorrect.\n\n>>>The truth hurts doesn't it?\n\nIt might if you believe what you do and actually looked around, but apparently ignoring the turth helps or you'd be writhing in pain.\n\n______________\nAndy, perhaps you should brush up on your political philosophy.  You clearly have no concept of what patriotism even is.  Nor democracy for that matter.\n\nThe exchange of political ideas is a fundimental principle of democracy.  This includes the idea that our government might be making a mess of things.  To oppose this exchange is to oppose democracy. America is a democracy, and thus an enemy of democracy is an enemy of America.  To speak out against tho

i aggree with Phil when he says "Democracy is a very over-used and incorrectly used term\n\nWhat happens in many Western countries and the USA is called an OLIGARCHY and a PLUTOCRACY.\n\nThese are not true democracies - until 'we' can have a real democracy, we cannot export anything but a lie. "\n\nultimatly, help is for those that want it, not those that need it.....

I will vote because I always do, however, I am hoping that the next presidential election actually has some worthy selections.  I have been voting AGAINST people and not for people for the last 6 years.  And the only reason the Republicans keep winning is because the Democrats can't decide where they stand on everything.  Which is why we need more than two parties in this country!!

Perhaps it’s because this is the way you seem to present yourself in most of your comments and questions.\n\nOK, you asked for it so here it is…\n\nIn all fairness I went back and read over some of your questions and answers.  There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground to most of your Q&A’s.  On the surface they appear to swing very far to the right and you always pick answers which lean to right contributed by extreme conservatives, never giving liberals any credit for their points of view.\n\nI remember one of the first questions I read of yours was about supporting the troops and not the war.  Like most extreme right wingers, you expressed mistrust for the media and used euphemisms like “fail their mission” and “before their job is done.”   Unlike most Americans, many retired generals and returning Iraqi war veterans, you appear to support issues which only extreme right wingers still support.\n\nI also remember another question about you being called a bigot because of your views on immigration reform.  The Republican idea of criminalizing feeding or offering shelter to immigrants is an extreme right wing view and not upheld by bi-partisan politicians.\n\nQuestions like, “Would anyone object to a white history month?” and “What the F..is this?” don’t encourage an argument for you being too moderate.  Answers like, “You must have a lot of points to throw away to ask a stupid question like this,” and “you’re kidding, right” doesn’t go much toward your favor of being too enlightened.\n\nI’m not going to analyze each of your Q&A’s, but if you don’t have an answer, why do you post responses like the ones above?\n\nUnfortunately, and I’m guilty of this as well, this forum doesn’t have many middle of the road or undecided objective contributors.  We all seem to lean extremely one way or another and we all passionately defend our positions.\n\nModerates (on either side) don’t appear to hang around here too much (maybe they have more a life than we do).\n\nWhen I post questions and answers which indicate I’m a flaming liberal, which I do, I don’t mind being called a flaming liberal.  When you post questions and answers which appear to paint you as an extreme right wing conservative, you shouldn’t be offended when people assume you’re an extreme right wing conservative.\n\nAs long as no one attacks you personally, which I hope I’ve never done, and speak only to your opinions, you should just brush the comments off as being just another person’s opinion.  Many years ago when I was in college, a professor told me, “Opinions are merely a reflection of one’s beliefs and don’t hold water in a world based on reality.”  I’ve kept those words as a guide to how I respond to people’s opinions and I don’t even take my own opinions too seriously because I know my opinion matters not in the whole great scheme of things.\n\nI’m a firm believer that no controversy has a clear decisive correct answer; if it did, it wouldn’t be controversial.   If you want to know the truth, I believe in bi-partisanship and would love to see a President McCain with a Vice President Clinton (Hillary that is.)\n\nEven if I hadn’t been familiar with your posts or not taken the time to read some of your other posts, you could have taken the “perhaps” in the first sentence of my response just as it was meant, conjecture.  Like if you had asked, “Why won’t my car start?”  Without knowing a thing about your car I might have said, “Perhaps it’s your fuel pump,” which would have just been an uneducated guess, but you took the response personally by asking for examples.\n\nThe key to enjoying and using this forum here is to enjoy yourself and don’t take anything too seriously.\n\nPS:\nI’ve been called a moron and an a..hole for posting my beliefs.  When people call me names, I assume they have nothing intelligent to say and consider my opinion correct.

Most Democrats are liberals, they want open borders and they want also to flood our country with cheap labor and more votes, because most Mexicans vote Democrat. And Democratic liberals are working for a country like he European Nations all one country. and it's not working over their. They don't want a sovereign Nation.

democrats are not the democrats they once were when the WW2 generation grew up. they now stand for nothing (collectively). they operate on a spur of the moment "oppose whatever the president does and says". it is a joke (sorry democrats..i never said some of you weren't nice).\n\nanyways...the far left has taken over the democratic party. they don't even realize that some of the things they despise and protest were favored and exercised by many older democrats.\n\never hearthe phrase..i didn't leave the democratic party. the democratic party left me." ???

Another closed-minded lemming not willing to recognize that open debate and free-thinking form the foundation of our republic...\n\nDisagreeing with the government and expressing the ideas of the opposition is the highest form of respect one can show for your country...being a blind follower of the regime is where the disgrace lies...\n\nAnd notice that this statement is non-partisan...I don't care who has control...QUESTION WHAT THEY'RE DOING...and if it doesn't seem right, fight it...

With all due respect, you're a little off in your perspective.  The GOP may be guilty of many things, but hating America is definitely not one of them.  You would be closer to the mark if you said they love America with an almost fanatical air.  It's usually the Dems who are saying things along the lines of how embarrassed they are with the country, or how they don't like our system.  Rethink your perspective, read just about all of the posts on this site, and you'll see that I'm right.
