    "If you don't like america so much, why don't you move to Russia!" I think that still applies.

    Why move to Russia when they're bringing Russia to us?

    If they don't like the way things work in our government, then they can leave? I think it's pretty self explanatory?

    I understand the quote, I just think it's an incredibly stupid one.

    It kind of defeats the whole idea of freedom, you know?

    I just wanted to post in the single dumbest thread in the history of this website. I feel honored to have been a part of it.

    I think the lefties love Maya Angelou, even she said something to the effect of "if you don't like something, change it"

    This idea of this thread reminds me of a little kid getting mad and taking his ball and going home.

    yeah, it was a sarcastic point. Trying to highlight the attitude differences between when Bush was going to war in iraq, and when obama is trying to pass health care. "It's unamerican to speak out against the war in iraq! these are terrorists!" "This health care is socialism! I want MY america back!"

    Bush never said it was un-American to protest. He said the opposite, didn't he? Pelosi, on the other hand, says it is un-American to have your voice heard.

    Nope, hoping we can make it through the rest of his one term without too much more damage. If this hasn't proven to people how stupid we were to let Bush and the Republicans spend us into debt, nothing will.

    Why the fuck can't we just buy everyone a mansion and enough food for life and run the debt up to 900 trillion or 9 million trillion?

    Actually, a lot of people on Fox said that the protesters (while they were nutty) were unpatriotic, Pelosi actually never said it was un-American to have your voice heard.

    that is a bunch of BS, she clearly said it is unamerican to shout and yell at town hall meetings just to disrupt. that is not speaking your voice, that is making noise. I never said BUSH said it. Although they say stuff like "We don't the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" and "the one choice we don't have is to do nothing" "doing nothing is no longer an option" that sounds like a lot of open discourse right?

    Something to the effect of "either you are with us or against us." Taken literally it would be apt to assume he was calling these dissenters enemies of the state which could be interpretively defined as un-American..
