Democrats have started this debate and I wish to finish the debate. Democrats want to label anyone who is dissenting as un-American. Basically put anyone who dares to exercise they first amendment right is un-American. The problem is the first amendment does not give you the right to protest, you already had that right. The first prevent the federal government from stopping you from protesting. So for Democrats across the board to call citizens un-American they are actually labeling themselves as un-American. If you do not believe it what America stands for you are in fact an un-American. Anyone that would try stop stop ones right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is un-American. So does that sound like anyone you might know?

Who is un-American? Everyone who is not inhabiting both the North and South American continents.

LOL, I think they'd technically be "non-Americans" though.

You're welcome, it's good and healthy to lighten things up once in a while around here.

I consider anyone who thinks and acts as if they are above the law and who disregard the rights and protections granted to the American people under the Constitution to be un-American. I consider anyone who tries to silence dissent through intimidation, defamation and open ridicule to be un-American. I consider elitist snobs to who hold most of the American populace in low regard to be un-American. I don't CARE what their ideology is or which side they are on, if their intent is to stifle opposing views from being expressed freely, they are un-American.

This is exactly right, if you oppose the Constitution you are un-American, simple.

Well I say both dems and reps are un american, and are doing all they can to keep the people under the rule of Rome standards. The whole government is unamerican as they are changing all our rights, and making new rights for themselves to get rich and powerful.

Yep... it sounds like those who want to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine... or use regulations to accomplish b the same thing. It sounds like those who want to label dissent as hate mongering, and that want to label anyone that disagrees with the libturd socialist agenda as low level domestic terrorists. In short, it sounds like anyone who favors the Fascist Usurper in Chief and the rest of the democrats. Anyone who does not like the principles that this country was founded upon, and anyone who thinks the Constitution is flawed or a living document falls into this category.

Nancy Pelosi said when surrounded by anti-war protestors that she liked "disruptors". Of course, at that time the dissenting speech she upheld wasn't directed at her. Now that the dissenters are disagreeing with Nancy, she's sure they are all un-American. The truth is that free speech sometimes means people will say things we don't agree with and things we don't like. Those who can't agree that she is wrong to uphold the right to free speech for those who agree with her and would deny it to those who disagree aren't really interested in equal rights for all. They figure there are only so many civil liberties to go around so they will make sure they go to all the right people, that is, those that support their views. Dissent is essential to democracy. Disagreeing with that is un-American.

Gew, I have never called anyone UN-AMERICAN from disagreeing with anything. BUT, I was called UN-AMERICAN by MANY republicans when I didn't support the Patriot Act, when I pointed out that the Bush administration was using the phoney terrorist threats during the 2004 election, and when Bush wanted to start another war so he could be reelected. Oh how republicans forget how their right wing hate radio talking heads called desenting voices to theirs UN-AMREICAN. Maybe you should do some research on this one GEW, unless you want to remember the Bush years.

It must make responding to discussions so much easier when the answer is always "Bush did it first" or "right-wingers did it too".

It's unamerican not to have another party, it should be called the civilian party, and should be any civilian from any states who have their own hero's who show pure promise for Americans and human values.

okay so you label democrats as calling every un american, and I suppose you republicans are so darned perfect, then why are you calling all us democrats as labeling you republicans? arent we americans just like you,we pay taxes,we raise our families, we help to make our country what it is, I know I am just wasting my breathas Republicans usually blame anything that goes wrong on people who uphold the democratic party. I have known rotten republican and rotten democrats too, and liberals and green party. first we are all people. I thought America stood for democrats and republicans for people of all colors, all political persuaions, all sexes,we are free for all of us. how dare you label anyone like that.that is just hatred,it doesnt belong in my lot at all.

Well only turning the table on them. Interesting I have yet to read one discussion from you denouncing Democrat lawmakers when they label their bosses, the American people as un-American. It does not belong on MyLot, so freedom of speech should not belong in the Constitution either? Kind of proves my point about being un-American, just pro-Democrat party.
