I don't mind you ripping my government apart what so ever I hate my government. I'm saying the people who come here to trash us as a people. You can't deny it happens A LOT here.
You are a democracy, which means the government represents the people. Some of us don't care about what fantastic explanations you invent to claim your government is not representative of the people. Fewer and fewer by that BS anymore.
Republicanism is not the same as democracy, for republicanism asserts that people have unalienable rights that cannot be voted away by a majority of voters.[5]

That's quite a statement.....thank goodness you don't represent the masses. It's NOT b.s....you are very wrong, Most of us are very aware that we are sheep and our "freedom" is an illusion. You know nothing if you are not a long time citizen of the U.S.

I'm not sure when it became "American" to bully other countries and then declare war on them when they are disgruntled, declaring that "We" are spreading democracy as We set up puppet governments...
Up until WWII, We were all for leaving the rest of the world alone (mostly).
So... Yeah, I guess "protecting" Ourselves from the enemies We made is "American."

I am not an American and don't represent anybody but myself. I am not talking about your "freedoms" or the lack there of. You vote your governments in and are responsible for their actions, especially when you keep reelecting the exact same kind of people. Your government represents you precisely because you choose them. It may not represent each individual, but certainly represents the collective. If you are sheep, that is your problem. Sure there is "blame" on sheep, but sheep shouldn't claim to be respected like human beings either.

Count on it! But "getting" you will involve a devastation on a scale unseen or unheard of before. Every other possibility to contain/reform the USA has to be exhausted before that. But people like you are sure helping us feel that is the only option left. The numbers of those who are convinced that is the only option and little time left are gorwing by the day. One day soon, it will reach the critical numbers needed for action and then your wish will be fulfilled.
After the Last Glacial Maximum some 15,000 to 17,000 years ago, one group entered North America from Beringia following the ice-free Pacific coastline, while another traversed an open land corridor between two ice sheets to arrive directly into the region east of the Rocky Mountains. (Beringia is the landmass that connected northeast Siberia to Alaska during the last ice age.) Those first Americans later gave rise to almost all modern Native American groups of North, Central, and South America, with the
