I can't fully understand how many Americans believe in their government so blindly. If Americans were send to prison camps for torture would they still love their government? What's the big deal and why do they love their government so much? Have they forgotten what their government has done for the last 50 years or so?

I'm American myself, I am just using the word "American" to refer to the other Americans (I didn't mean to confuse people into thinking I am foreign from the country). I know that people despise Bush. However, many of the Americans I meet in this country other than me don't know what they are talking about when they talk about politics, they don't know who Barak Obama is, and they think that Hillary Clinton should be our first woman President and I get the feeling that a lot of them think that Barak Obama is inexperienced so he shouldn't be President.
My problem with this country is that they are so blinded by ideals that they forget that Bush has practically abolished the Constitution with Bills like the Patriot Act that have been passed into law. The Government can track our library records, they can monitor our internet activity and they are starting to develop the technology in which they can track our every move without telling us.
Many other Americans wouldn't dare to question the government because they like the country enough so they won't complain. I like the country but I still complain because it is my constitutional right. Other Americans should do the same.
