34. Why would you think I mean my criticisms to apply to ALL Americans?
Edited on Fri May-11-07 11:45 PM by Time for change
These are the specific criticisms that I include in the section of my post titled

"But the ideals that define Americans are lost to many of us"

Unfortunately, too many Americans today have either forgotten our ideals...

Yet too many Republicans felt and expressed nothing but contempt for Carter’s emphasis on human rights...

These abominations against human rights are conducted in the name of our country under policies promulgated by the George W. Bush administration...

Yet only a minority of Americans appears to be outraged about these gross and repeated abuses of human rights, and many appear to approve of it.

As with our Declaration, the Republican Party has virtually told us that our Constitution is expendable...


I just don't get it. Do you consider anything here to represent a universal criticism of all 300 million Americans, as opposed to a criticism of selected Americans?
