Why is it that if someone doesn't agree with a decision made by the government is automaticly anti-American? The basis of being American is having the right to free speech. Why bash someone who thinks differently than the government?

Because we have free speech too.

Kevin answered your second question perfectly.

As for your first question, here is a break-down of your argument. First, two facts:

1. The cartoon said Michael Moore is anti-American.
2. Michael Moore doesn't agree with a given policy of Bush's.

Second, your conclusion:
The cartoon said that EVERYONE who disagrees with ANYTHING Bush proposes is anti-American.

And now I shall exercise my First Amendment rights and an American and call you a twit. Thanks for playing. Now please whine elsewhere.

Why is it that 1 out of every 3 comments these days makes me incredibly grateful for the Right to Bear Arms?

I find it very unfortunate that people think challenging your governemnt is un-American, when in fact, if you look at history, our country was founded on a government by the people, for the people - and the people are encouraged to keep the governement in check. It is safe to say that a governement that not only puts a "president" in the White House who was NOT DEMOCRATICALLY VOTED IN, but then ignores an entire country's request (not to mention the rest of the world) to not go to war, deserves to be critisized (by the people, for the people?). And we wonder why the rest of the world hates us - we should be thanking Michael Moore for showing other countries watching the Oscars that not EVERY American is a crazy, war-mongering asshole like Bush.

Why can't Michael Moore fans spell? That's what I'd like to know.

Why can't people actualy participate in general discussion instead of resorting to unrelated and rude comments? That's what I'd like to know

You people, the lot of you, are a bunch of self-righteous, holier-than-thou, name callers (he said righteously anonymous).

Support our troops - they're the ones who end up without legs and panhandling... These guys are the one's who suffer.
Support America - it's still the best game in town.
Question Authority - especially if their is a buck to be made.

I think Michael Moore had a valid point - And I'm not anti-american, nor even anti-republican. but with dumb-ass stuff like "freedom fries"... Remember the French? The guys without whom the American Revolution would have been lost? Whatever happened to the idea of good foreign relations?

Our current set of leaders are flat out lying - come on, just do a little homework. I'll still listen to your snarky comments, but do the math.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Do your part.

"Whatever happened to the idea of good foreign relations?"

I dunno. Ask Monsieur Chirac.

I love the way our "you criticizing our dissent is un-American" friends are so obsessed with "freedom fries." It almost makes me want to jump on that bandwagon just to tie them up in even bigger knots.

"Our current set of leaders are flat out lying"
