Anti American sentiment

Ah, but you are entitled to complain if you vote, for the loser.

And you are exempt of criticism, if, you vote for the loser.

1 person 1 vote.

Also, i do believe the issue was generalization.

You stated that 57 some odd million voted against Bush. That means that the whole country does not offer him their support. And it is rediculous to lay claim that each american is lustful for world domination.

There are a number of us who realize that world domination by america only serves to fill the coiffers of a select few.

But if it did translate into benefit to all americans, sure why not, i'd go along.

And don't give me none of that, "see, i told you so" act. I already tossed my support to egoism and self interrest, and anyperson would feel the same way.

I have a different view of global domination than acting as the worlds police. Or dominating through military might.

Its called ingenuity and invention, with a dash of hard work and manufacturing.

I still support Bush. I doubt he'll ever be remebered as one of the greats, but he's not the evil ret*d he gets portrayed as either. This would be one helluva long thread if I broke it all down plicy-by-policy. As for the foreign complaints about Bush, unless you have US bombs falling on your head, stop bitching and get a life!

Sean,

i would love to enjoy a civil debate with you regarding Bush.

In particular;
his across the board stance against labor
his no child left behing flop
and his pursuit of all things special interrest in support of the already well fed rich elite.


Also, i believe firmly that history will not be kind to this farce of a man.

I would like to express that it doesn't matter which country a person is from. I respect all people and I see what's inside of all Human Beings. I have relatives in the States and I love them as much as the ones up in Canada. I've even said, "God Bless America" after 911, because the Americans are my Neighbours. I love all People. I hope I wasn't the one that made you feel unwelcome. I apologise, if I did.

yeah, it's pretty bad here

give it about 5 more years and people will see the benefit in having a constitutional republic in Iraq and intervention in a part of the world where certain governments chant 'death to america', paint 'death to israel' on their ballistic missiles and happen to be acquiring nuclear weapons while stating that are 100% ok sacrificing themselves in a nuclear exchange so they can go to heaven!

Sometimes the European way is wrong - we will not repeat the mistakes of Chamberlain with Hitler. not again. We will fight every step of the way so genocide does not occur again.

check your own history before you criticize us. People forget the bloodshed of their grandparents, parents, and family too easily.

If you are refering to British colonialism, we gave that up over 50 years ago. You still seem to have your own special branch of colonialism.

We should have been in Africa helping them instead of in Iraq if the Bush administration wishes to talk about "fighting for human rights".

I'm more sickened by the deceit than anything else.

"We're going into Iraq to capture Saddam to keep him from feeding weapons into Palestine because Israel is our ally. We're also going in there to get us some more oil."

I could have respected that more than the lies they're feeding now.

So let me get this straight....an AMERICAN founded this website, and yet there is American Bashing going on here?????Sounds like we have some hypocrits here. Why come on here when an American runs this sight. Do you actually hate Alex????? Where would alot of you be if it wasn't for him? I'm speaking expecally to those of you who hate Americans....I don't get it. This website has been a Godsend to many people, and you know it. Think about what you are saying, and no I am not just referring to you RobertN, you weren't involved in the chat, although I really don't get you,but then again bigotry has never made sense to me.

Why do we always label people from a country with their leader?

I would like to offer this;

In no way, as an American, do i hate my country. I believe in the basic foundation, and i believe in the people.

All throughout the history of our nation has the citizenry questioned its leaders. And that is a right afforded to us in the bill of rights. And has been paracticed in many forms. My personal opinion (which is just that) is that our current president has done NOTHING to make the lives of the average citizen (or majority) better. I think that every single position he has held has been in support of those Americans who really don't need as much as the rest. By need i mean basic human dignities; livable wages, health care (god forbid you need it) and security.
Security being--- we not only had the worst attack on american soil during his term(s) in office, but he continues to put good, healthy, young american's lives at risk in his pursuits on behalf of special interrests.
Livable wages being--- every single piece of legislation which was offered for approval during his term(s) in office, which were pro labor, has been rejected or accepted only after compromise. every other , that applies to labor, has been accepted and forced through congress has his agenda of pursuing the needs of special interrest. 1 in 8 americans now live beneath the poverty line. Fewer people own more of this nations wealth. there is a defined erosion of the middle class going on.
Healthcare being---Clinton made a big deal about healthcare in 1992 and throughout his term(s) in office, i admit that the solutions were a joke, but he tried and to no avail. There has been little mention under bush and each year, during his term(s) the average joe has a higher co-pay or loses their insurance altogether. And it has been 13 years since the american public stated that was a high priority for them. Bush has completely ignored healthcare, because it is not sound economically for his special interrest buddies.

Bottom line is that he is a major player in the circle of the rich elite. The people who continue to get richer and richer off of the rest of our hard work.

I hold optimism for the future of this Nation. But i fear that as long as people do not excercise their right, given to them by law, we will begin this slippery slope of regression and realize it after its too late.

I would do anything for America, including, pulling my head out of the sand, looking around, assessing the situation and screaming the injustices i see from the highest mountain.
God Bless America and the freedom of speech.
