Politics & Government

Are Americans passive cowards?

Europeans kidnapped company executives after they announced layoffs. They are refusing to allow bailouts. They are marching on their capitols. We're pissy, but we're not stopping the bailouts. Does that make us wimps?


It seems that we can easily go into another country and bomb it to pieces, but when it comes to sticking up for our own rights on our own soil, we bend over and take it.


Say what you will about the Weathermen and Panthers of the 1960's, but they were not wimps.


What do you think?



We're not necessarily cowards, but we are definitely passive. We all want the bailouts and all these "big" "solutions" to work, but the reality is that we should have become active long ago.


We cannot wait until the whole of government is in shambles to begin to try to fix it.


We become active locally! You become involved. You volunteer in local elections, you go to your representatives hearings. I've been to local hearings in Tucson where our City Reps are looking for ideas, and there will be 30 people there. 30!! And they'll advertise these meetings. I've volunteered in local elections, we'd be voting for city ordinances in a town of 800,000 (depending on the time of year) and we would have 500 people show up.


Very sad, very passive.




The liberals have made it so we can't stand up for anything. We would be protested for protesting bailouts.




Cities are like fear factories IMO.


Only when people unite and love one another can we overcome this issue.

Yes, we are kinda wimpy. We're always worried about hurting someone's feelings (political correctness) and we're too chickenshit to take back our govt.




we are waiting for a hero to step up---someone to gather the people together




where are the weathermen and panthers now ?.....Mmmm... oh yeah some have gotten out of prison.....some are still there.....and what changes did they get passed ?.....aside from life in prison ?




Only in the blue states
