"Republicans"  on here have discussed changes to the constitution, yet they call others un-American?

right on, q! \n\nthat's the one similar thing i've seen with the flaming republicans on the site. freedom, toleration, and the right to live a good life is for everyone, and not just for the people who are in the same mind frame as they are.\n\nif they put a little compassion or toleration into their ideas, it would make them look LESS ridiculous!

What in the world are you talking about?????? The only changes allowed to the Constitution are through amendemnts. Look them up!

While not a flag burner or waver I feel that to many have died to change the law and not allow it. Repuglicans stepping on the constitution is another matter, I think burning them ought to be the law.

Are you even American?\n\nWhat part of American freedom of speech is a non-American entitled to?\n\nYour mentality is poison to a democratic republic.

I have said it 100 times on here it seems like and I will continue to until these questions stop. There are people on here who are on the left who call Bush and Republicans names on a daily basis and they get up in arms when some one on the right acts like they do. \n\nShe says some absolutely outrageous things, but so does Al Franken, Bill Mahrer, Howard Dean, and Al Gore. Don't be a hypocrite.

Please excuse that I am quoting myself from a previously answered question, but what I'm including is relevant and I think it's great that some people are being brave enough to ask the hard questions...\n\n\n"We as a country turn the other way, figure there's nothing we can do, and if Big Brother is checking on us freely (as it's now come to light that he is...) well what's to stop him. One untruth after another and it's like we're a paralyzed society."\n\nThere are a great many of perfectly rational people who are being frightened into "falling in step" because otherwise they are accused of being "terrorist sympathizers" (which of course is false) and accused of not supporting the troops, and of being unpatriotic. FEAR will drive the herd as all cowboys are aware (nothing against true cowboys, just against ones that have never tended or ranched a thing in their life but still put on a belt buckle and wear a Stetson as if they had). \n\nWe have to stop being intimidated into not speaking up. The people who want to bring our troops home and are questioning the current adminstration's agenda ARE ACTUALLY THE MAJORITY!! But whenever anyone speaks up they are immediately accused of being a FAR-leftist or worse, which gets the attention of the more moderates, who decide to make it clear they aren't with the person who spoke up. \n\nTo be honest, I'm mentally preparing myself for the worst. I've actually contemplated what I would do when all the liberties this country was founded on are thrown out the door. And I've decided that if I survive the inital Fallout, I'll be in line to sign up with the rebel forces. \nIt'd be nice if we could get back to a country of the people, by the people, for the people.\n\nThat's my vote, (free of electoral constraints mind you).

While you're at it, you can tear up the Constitution and punish people for having original thoughts... \n\nThere are so many worse things to be offended by...

Repunklicans think their sh*t doesn't stink and that the world (not just the US) revolves around them.... They need to get off of this Stolen Land and form their own land free of people who actually give a damn about people other than themselves.

I am a U.S citizen by birth and know exactly what you mean. The U.S at one time was the "land of the free" but no more.\nWhen I point out the U.S. isn't so free anymore, more likely than not I am met with knee jerk hostility and hear some programmed phrase like, "the U.S. is the best country in the world, we have every freedom here, etc." Americans are so stupid. And their lack of THEIR own history not to mention the history of the world is sickening.

As you can see by the replies, Republicans are happy to deny a very provable fact that Lott is indeed racist and shouldn't be leader of anything or anybody.  For some reason, they think it begins and ends with the birthday comment but, alas, it does not.

None it's all rhetoric.Even Bush said and i quote"Democrats will defend America,of course they will,just like Republicans"\nThe second responder deserves a reply\nAgainst the Patriot Act,patriot act is unconstitutional\nWant Geneva convention protection for terrorists,the US signed and was a co founder of that convention\nCan't listen to their phone calls,so protecting the constitutional rights is hating America now?Sounds weird to me\nCan't intercept their money transfers\n"We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts--not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."\nAbraham Lincoln \n"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."\nBenjamin Franklin

I don't know what you were reading but i've never seen anything like this. I don't mind American people, but it is slightly annoying when American users ask questions on the British Answers, concerning stuff going on in the US.

you are absolutely right Gina, it is appalling the conservative legislation. I talked to my phillosophy professor who is from Massachusetts, a self-described flaming liberal. lol And I said I don't know why i'm so angry about this that i can't get over that the amendment was passed. \nshe said, is it because this is a free country and people are supposed to have the right to do virtually anything that doesnt hurt anyone else without being descriminated against? I'm like yeah thats basically it. \nshe siad well i'm with ya. solidarity! lol.\nSOLIDARITY!!!!!

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.

Hathaway, I am disappointed.  When was dissent un American? \nIf this administration was more ethical, do you think there would be this great a degree of resentment?  I am guessing if the Republicans were ethical, they probably would not have been " elected " . \n\nI think what you are confusing here is how I and some others like me support the Constitution and the Republic.  We just don't associate these things with the Bush administration. \n\nThis administration has more in common with Julius Caeser's power grab than being our elected representatives.\nThis is what comes of a culture that values winning above all else - or thinks that the ends justify the means. \n\nBesides, the Taliban take too long to get back to you after you send in a resume and cover letter.  I never liked the benefits or the commute and Al Quada is mostly about outsourcing and defending weak products.

Americans are gullible, they are fed a constant barrage from the right wing that it is a good thing that they wire tap your phone or monitor your e-mails and then threaten them with the T word. So repuglicans being mentally diminished say I have nothing to hide and pass it off. Never mind that the constitution was written to provide safety to our civil liberties and is and has been eroded over the years. Soon they will mount cameras in you bed room so that they can monitor to see that you do not get to much of a kink on. But that will be alright as it will prevent terrorism. Some will believe that.

Americans. A dangerous precedent has been set by the recent criminal republicans that question any form of dissent and if you are brave enough to disagree with their ideology, you are labeled as anti-American, or subversive. This hysterical reaction starts with Bush and his Goons and trickles down to the local levels of government. Of course this is more pervasive in certain areas of the country, i.e. bible belt. Their will be a lot of healing needed with our next president as this one has caused our country serious damage with his flawed ideology. The deprogramming of America begins in 2008.
