The Phelps family are a bunch of obese, insane, publicity hounds that go to funerals and make asses of themselves for a living. They live in an armed compound and all of them who had law licenses have been disbarred. They're sick, always have been and are one of the few examples of abuse of freedom of religion and expression. The 1st Amendment does not protect idiots like the Phelps'.\n\nThey did the same thing at Governor Carnahan's funeral in Missouri in 2000. The man died in a plane crash just before the election and they demonstrated in front of his grieving family and a grieving state claiming he went to hell because he did not oppose gay rights legislation.\n\nI'll dance at Fred Phelps's funeral!\n\nThey're so brave they don't even put their address on their website. Hmmm. Tell them how you feel: 3701 SW 12th St, Topeka, KS 66604

Can some people be so blind to the flaws of this country. How can you believe we are so innocent. It's almost despicable to see the ignorance spewing out of some of these peoples mouths, how can they call themselves Americans when they just blindly support whatever leadership is thrown their way and every decision without any question. It almost makes me sick.

It just goes to prove what absolute rubbish you can actually PAY to read!\n\nIt is true that an increasingly worrying proportion of Americans are overweight but the article was being exceptionally facetious!

There was on online article about just this!\n\nI think it is just journalists trying to make up fluff.

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

8:00 pm east coast, history channel. Maybe some people can learn a bit of truth about this holiday. Native Americans have gotten the crappy end of the stick more than any other race of people in America. If more people really knew their history, not the crap they teach about feel good history, they wouldn't write the kind of responses I have read. I guess it applies to all forums on here. Some people wouldn't believe the truth even if it was smacking them in the face. Demonize it, then kill it or pass a law to control it. Worked then, works now.

Thank you for this beautiful montage.  I can't imagine anyone not being impressed, American or not, with the images shown. The music was nice, too. \n\nI almost didn't open it, because I don't want you defining who a patriot is, especially since their definition is almost always at odds with mine. \n\nRemember, donate responsibly.

I have seen this here during the last hour. This guy posting questions and rants saying he hates the USA and would root for our enemies if WW3 broke out. I absolutely despised Bill Clinton but I never transferred my disgust for him into a hatred for my country. Not once.

Sources:  Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Keith Obermann, Jerry Springer.  This came out today and I also heard that the UN was p'ssed off at USA also for having this crap on the "internets" At the insistence of bush and Hoekstra and some other congressman on the hill  Negroponte was forced to set up the procedure to get this stuff put out there for all of us and any interested terrorist to see and study up on.  Thank God bush isn't all that good using "the Google" or what else would he compromise in our "best interests".  The New York Times should be commended for getting this issue out into the open.

Well said on behalf of Andy D - I dont get why he has been banned and reported to police for expressing his opinions !!! This just shows how bad this country has got - call the police because you've been mugged and we're lucky if they arrive.  Dare to voice an opinion and they're round in minutes - disgusting  !!!!!!

Yet again the press, in the link, have got it wrong. The man in Aberdeen was not wearing an England shirt he was in a car which had a six inch English flag on it. He was waiting for a friends child after school. The guy who attacked his just picked up his shopping & walked off after the attack.\nIt makes me ashamed to be an Aberdonian.\nHigh time all the anti-english crap stopped.

Well first of all, surely you can find better sources of inspiration than Arianna Huffington.  She's a self-promoting entertainer who gained her notoriety on Comedy Central (kind of like Rush Limbaugh... get it?)\n\nNow to your original rant.  Nobody has said that what the NYT did was illegal, although it may be.  The key point (supported this past weekend by Republicans AND Democrats) was that after the NYT was asked to not reveal how wire transfers of money were being tracked to find terrorists' off-shore sources of financial support, they went ahead and revealed it anyway.\n\nTheir expressed rationale?... the information was in the public interest.  Well, what, pray tell is NOT in the "public interest"?  If someone leaked to the NYT that we were about to capture Osama bin Laden tomorrow, would they reveal that?  Surely the public would be interested!\n\nOur government has a right (in fact an OBLIGATION) to not reveal publicly all of the things it does to protect and defend American citizens.  It cannot break the law (Note: this activity was revealed and approved in advance by congressional oversight committees).  \n\nFor God's sake... every day the editors of the NYT choose NOT to report hundreds of stories.  Editors exercise their personal judgement on these decisions.  So don't act as if there's some "obligation" to publish.  65 years ago this kind of anti-administration driven pseudo-journalism would not have happened.  Not from the left, not from the right and not even from the radical fringe.\n\nTo all of you liberal knee jerk Bush-haters I'd say this: learn to think for yourselves.  Stop parroting the radical left unless you want to be marginalized and ridiculed as a member of the wacko fringe.

Bad, very bad.  First of all, the impediments mentioned in the editorial are real and persuasive.  Secondly, but more powerfully, the current administration has squandered any good will we received after 9/11 and ruined our reputation world-wide and don't give a rat's ass about that.  And thirdly, the current administration has been hostile to the UN and made many difficulties there, so it is very unlikely that any American would for some time be even mentioned for the job.  And further, such an idea from the LA Times is only a desperate grasp at repair of the current damage and it is foolish to think that Clinton, or anybody "so well respected" could use his personal reputation to mend the ruins we are left with by this administration.

This sort of thing is unconscionable.\nI certainly hope they get this one straitened out.  \nIt's a shame that it takes a major news network to bring this sort of injustice to our own governments attention.  This sort of thing has happened before and still happens all too often.  Our boys need more and better advocates to represent them in such cases.  Past and present wars are a testament to the horrible ways in which we have treated our returning men in uniform.  Vietnam Veterans suffer to this day........Why do we not take better care of our own?  This does not foster patriotism.\nMaybe we need another section in the newspapers, highlighting these very unsettling atrocities.  We could purchase subscriptions for key politicians and plenty for the Pentagon.  Of course it would be a waste of time to get one for the president, because he pays no attention to the news.  \nAs newspapers are not selling very well these days, we should pitch this idea to them.  If the papers would print it they could could sell it, and provide a very much needed service. After all, freedom of speech is one of the many important freedoms our brave men in uniform fight for, lets not waste it.\nThanks for posting this, more people need to become enlightened about this type of government inaction.

I watch it and I was shock to see many of the findings. Especially that they have way to mimic peoples voices and just lie and place the blame where it doesn't belong. This day I am sad to for both the victims of WTC and the citizens of both Iraq and Afghanistan and we all need to wake up our freedom is at stake here. Please be careful Andaria. People are gonna try to make all sorts of excuses but the fact remains where is the proof??

I am a Bush supporter, but I think this is terrible thing to say or even think. I know they hurt our feelings in here daily, but I'm not going to sink that low. Shame on you.
