HOW Un-AMERICAN CAN WE BE ?

It amazes me when I hear people so intolerant of others in the U.S.

Critics of the President are called names and told they aren't Americans. Critics of the War are called names and told they aren't Americans. Critics of anything are called names and told they aren't Americans.

What an irony. Many of our founding fathers came here to avoid religious and political persecution. Our Bill of Rights seeks to guarantee freedom of speech and thought.

While I may not ever agree with your opinion - I will ALWAYS agree with your right to state it.

The recent emphasis on democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan is the allowance of people to speak about and vote for their ideas.

Seems to me like it is time for Americans to BE Americans and let citizens speak up for their own ideas.

Whether it be Bikini Bars in East Hillsborough County, HARTLINE, The Art Museum, The Iraq War, - sift through the bombardment of messages reaching you every moment and think about and speak up about what is important to you !
