He's Not My President

by Peter Maiden (pmaiden [at] pacbell.net)
Protesters waited for the Presidential motorcade to pass through downtown Sacramento October 17.

by I voted for him
If you hate this country so much, why don't you leave? You are free to leave at any time. You could even take your sign with you to your new country. Have a nice trip.
by is dissent bad?
you know, I don't believe he's the real president either. doesn't mean i don't have a connection to the land and some of the people here in the usa. thus why should i leave. the five folks who appointed bush as president should be impeached. how can the consititution and the system set up become so warped? for you who voted for him. great, so what. doesn't mean that other peoples intepretations should be any less valuable. have to ask the question these days, why people hated the usa so much that they would do such a horrific thing. think for yourself. question your reality.
by Your Deciple.
I questioned my reality and I now agree with you. Thank you. Al Gore is the legitimate president. I await further instuction...

Your thoughts are without merit.

First of all, California didn't ask to be added to your white-supremacist empire-it was conquered and occupied ILLEGALY!!!

So why don't you wealthy, white-Anglo fascists take your ugly mugs back to your thirteen colonies!?!?!?! we didn't want your filthy country in the first place!!!!
by Milosz Reterski (rmilosz [at] hotmail.com)
But you still enjoy all the freedoms of "Fascist AmeriKKKa", don't you? Are you against the Constitution? It's funny how little you know of the world, and the struggle of most of the planet's down-trodden people, like myself, to get to these shores. Why does "AmeriKKKa" have such a vibrant Cuban population? They came here for freedom. Why do we have such a vibrant Chinese population? They came here for freedom. Why do we have such a vibrant Polish population? Freedom.
Get a life dude, look around you, and realize that most of the people in this land, of all cultures and colors and creeds, are here because this is the one nation where freedom reigns.

Think about it.

by Reese
It was taken illegally from the Mexicans who took it illegally from the Indians who used to kick each other's asses regurlarly; Don't give me any of that shit about how peacefull all the fucking Indians were. You know what, we should give California back to the Mexicans so they can all get drunk and leave beer bottles in the fields and have knife and bullfights every day. That would be great.

plural nouns don't need apostrophes!!!

heathen's: something belonging to a heathen
heathens: many heathens

I get so frustrated seeing sentiments like this being expressed. I love my country but have some problems with the current state of things. Is it not "patriotic" to work toward change to make things better? Telling people to leave the country because they do not support a "president" that took office under dubious circumstances and then proceeded to engage the country in a global conflict with an endless scope just comes across as ignorant.

Grammar Police Brutality!
You Pig! How dare you tell everyone how to spell words! Grammar and Spelling are Racist! Start a riot in protest of Proper Spelling! Mispellers are Victims of White Corporate AmeriKKKa! Down with Phonics!
And let's put a stop to the Greed of Plate Tectonics too!
by sick of flags
worried about how to spell these words? maybe you should worry about this country... scratch that, this country is beyond needing to be worried about. don't tell someone to get out of the country because they don't agree with it... i think america needs to get their own shit together, before trying to set up other governments.. and figure everything out for everyone else. but hey.. we don't have enough corruption to evenly distribute amongst the whole world!
by RS
Why don't you work to make this a better more responsible government?
Funny, how we have to write our email, phone, web adress, and address before writting anything.... I was just visiting your site, and i just so happen to be stoned. So i guess now that we have all that cleared up.... i just wanted to mention that having something on here for us to vent about...

I can't desribe the double whammy of grief that has been forced upon us on 09/11 and then again on 10/07. The greatest of fools must know that the Afgan cities, already in rubble from the Soviet destruction, could not sustain 12 twelve days of bombing, without many thousands of innocent deaths as direct and indirect results. Here in America we held a day of prayer for the 6000 we lost in the WTC attacks. I did not hear one word of prayer for the 1/2 million children of Iraq who have died as a result of American sanction on that country. We expect military men to die on both sides. That is the job and the glory of soldiers. But when the killing goes to babies (children) as a foregone conclusion, those who order such destruction are clearly the enemies of Almighty God the Creator. In 1996, Madeleine Albright [Albright? What an ironic name.], then the US secretary of state, was asked on national television what she felt about the fact that 500,000 Iraqi children had died as a result of US economic sanctions. She replied that it was "a very hard choice", but that, all things considered, "we think the price is worth it".
We have somehow allowed the criminally insane to govern.

'Love it or leave it'.I hear that comment alot coming from the patrotic, nationalistic crowd. Many of these people think that they are protecting freedom when they invest these types of attitudes, but really they are just doing the opposite. When they take the 'if you don't like America, then get out!' stance, then they are in oppostion to the freedom of the first ammendment that they say they are defending with their patrotism. They are hypocrites. If they are truly concerned with freedom and democratic priciples then they would respect others right to voice their opinions.
by vagrant
actually to the dude that posted that people come here for freedom that is true but we as america are not the most free nation in the world. take the neitherlands more freedom less crime less polution even as a %. i really believe all of you need to grow up and face the music we are losing our freedoms and all you can do about it is sit on your asses arguing about petty details of life the american dream is wonderful and that is why i stay is to one day see that dream become a reality once again. but the way all of you dont pay attention to what your government does and allows them to walk all over you hoping its for the best. my dream will become a nightmare. as ben franklen once said "those who would give up essential liberty to purchase temperary safety deserves neither liberty or freedom" may be you dont really want to be free i guess you would rather bicker among yourselves untill your all placed in concentration camps. well it is my hope that you come to your senses and over come this petty behavior.

*claps* Good comment Gabe!

To all the people correcting the eroneous spelling and grammar: perhaps a career as an english teacher?

Hello Dear Americans,

What a tragedy!!!!!!!! The most corrupt and dictator o all
time has been assigned as a president.
Now he wants to send you to a war !!!
For big corporate's interest. Well have a nice day and enjoy the ride. For a few decades this society has been suffering from all kinds of negative consequenses caused by Vietnam war. The truth is that BUSH the neo-nazist
can not tell the facts to the people. He has lied from the day he was stopped by police for DWI.
I don'r talk about his daughter or relatives with a magnificent drug biography. This is the man who wanted brig dignity to white house. You know what BUSH? Kiss my ass and get the fuck out of the white house!! blood sucker.

Who said they didn't respect your right to disagree? Who said they had to? Don't they have the right to call you unpatriotic? Don't they have the right to tell you if you don't like America then get out? Don't you have the right to tell them they should leave?

The first ammendment covers a lot of bases, pal.
why are we Bad spellers. Well look at our dear presient Bush he does not care he cant spell why should you care if anybody else does. We have to unite in order to make a difference you fouls, that's what we been doing for year (fighting among each other) when we have to look at the biger picture. does it maker if i cant spell NO. Does it matter if the person that is running this country and soon will be sending us to war can spell? that is the question.
