That's not an operational definition either. Provide some clear evidence that says "This is what it means to be American." (FYI: There isn't any.)

Maybe it's my only being fourteen, but how do you guys know so much about politics and everything? I'm not criticizing, it's just that I'd kind of like to start getting to know what's going on in our country, even if it doesn't concern me at this moment.

Al Gore was referring to the fact that he helped out with legislation and other government operations that helped the internet. Out of context ftw.

Bush is a great president because he's a nice guy. He could nuke canada tomorrow, but as long as he still has that drawl in his speech and that sparkle in his smile, he's a good president to me.

Thomas Jefferson would like a word with you.
As for "*** bush", I'd like to see 10 things he did wrong, and 10 foolproof things you would have done instead. Exactly, there aren't 10 foolproof things, therefore your logic is severely flawed. Until you've got some real statements to make, I could care less what you say.

Will everyone stop Expressing there love and/or Malice for the Presidents(past, present, or future) it's oh so annoying, and no one cares, and no I don't care that you have the constitutional right to express your feelings for the president (past, present, or future), just don't talk about it, Because this topic happens to pretain to the Resignation of US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. NOT your idea's of the president. Mkay Playas?

Lincoln was awesome.

But seriously, is there anyone who is even upset that he's resigning? I assume most people don't even care.

I didn't say that my definition of American would be the same as yours, maybe I define American for myself multiple ways and chose to use American that way. I just believe that pissing on the bill of rights and whatnot isn't in his job description.

I'm simply pointing out your logical fallacy. You say it's Unamerican, but you can't provide details on what "American" is.

I can't see how you can tell that not doing anything in Iraq would have helped. No one knows how things would have turned out if we hadn't.

As for Katrina, I'm sure bush had his hands full... I'm not trying to support him (i'm anti-bush, to tell the truth) but there had to be something he was doing during that time. Now, I don't remember what his excuse was, but if he was smoking weed at his Texas Ranch at the time and ignored phone calls, then I take back everything I said.

As for Alberto Gonzalez, he is the one you've been hearing about for things like those 8 US attorneys that got sacked. Ever heard of John Ashcroft? He came before Gonzalez.

Please, PLEASE do not confuse pre-war Iraq or Hussein with 9/11 or Al Qaeda.

Also, absolutely nothing to do with this guy. I'm going to make a fresh Iraq topic and hope Tural doesn't lock it and point to the old one.

9/11 wasn't the reason we went into Iraq, if that's what you're implying. The reason we are staying is because terrorists have followed us there. That and sectarian violence.
