Sad State of America
This is a direct quote from U.S. SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY: I have never seen a time when our Constitution and fundamental rights as Americans were more threatened by their own government.
Says it all. I feel something that is as close to hatred as I’ve ever felt. Betrayed by our own government. Misled by our president. A corrupt, dispisable administration that will almost certainly be vilified by future generations has destroyed - no, better yet, intentionally pissed on - almost everything that makes America great. Suspending core American principles. Holding people without trials. Torturing criminals. Spying on Americans. Attacking a non-threat because they went after his dad.
George Bush is a pathetic leader and his central staff mostly consists of people who have done a miserable job at supporting America and dammit! I want my rights back!

Yes, it must suck as a True American(tm) in America right now.
What especially bothers ME is that critiqueing the current gov. is seen as ‘unpatriotic’, while in fact, being able to criticise your gov. is the very core of democracy (and therefore, of America).
I agree with your comment, but we are not a democracy. Never have been. No where in the founding papers of the United States, is the word ever used. We are a representative republic. Although you may feel hatred (never understood using that word) toward President Bush, you have representatives that have given him the power. Your anger, comments, and concerns should be directed towards them.
