Do you agree with this?

I am not american. Your quote sound like Henry David Thoreau. As about the right to dissagree with administration, I strongly belive is sure a right and - if you really want to be usefull - is quite a duty. No matter american, british, indian or from wherever ..

I do agree with the statement and it won't matter a bit who said it. Even if it was someone who I didn't like...I have to agree that is a true statement. Was it Bush? just sounds like something he'd say.

All should have the right and indeed the duty to speak out against the administration. However, contained within that right and duty is the requirement to veracity; if you criticise the administration be sure that you have understood the matter to the best of your ability and checked your sources thoroughly. all the best urban

Yeah, it does make a difference, Kitty, lol, because this came out of Hillary's pie hole. But I do think people have a right to disagree with any administaton, Democrat or Republican.

I have no idea who originally said this but I completely agree. What is the point in living in a free country if you are not going to excercise that freedom with healthy debate and voicing your opinion, even if it is not in agreement with whom ever may be in office. I think it is unpatriotic to refuse to use your brain and just go with the flow.

I agree that anyone should be able to speak out there views in a diplomatic mannor. America as a country claims to be the land of the free, this should apply to all aspects of live including the freedom to express themselves. I come from the UK and I am interested in whether people do really have the arena and right in which to express themselves as freely as they would like?

Hillary Clinton said it while doing her impression of Howard Dean. I do love the part about any administration. Maybe she should have said any administration except a Democrat administration.

I did not know who said it but I absolutely agree BTW I still think Hillary would have made a much better president than Ibn Barack Hussein Obama.

That's why there's freedom of speech, my friend. I believe we can effectively agree to disagree and we can discuss what we disagree about. No, it shouldn't only be with some and not with others. We should be able to disagree or should be able to discuss policies in USA. I don't think it matters who said it because that person is right. It could be almost anyone that I think of. Cheers!

I cheated a bit and looked the quote up and found it was Hilary Clinton that said this--found it via Youtube that has a rather non-flattering slideshow of photos of her..LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxmpTMGhU0 This idea is nothing new really...people have been looked down upon if they disagree with an administration or even dare to openly protest....this goes back to the Vietnam era when "hippies" protested against the war...and were considered anti-American--I know... I was "one" of those hippies

[b]Some intolerant, mealymouthed, hypocritical, lying lib--oh wait, that's redundant--said it. In fact, several did. I say speak when you want to about anything you want to, no matter who doesn't like it. Confrontational? Moi? Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

Jon Stewart? I'm not really all that knowledgeable about America/n/'s famous people, but the quote sounded like him so I opted to guess (haven't read the other posts either :p) As for whether I agree or not, that's not even a question. There has never been an administration from any country that has run their course perfectly. And being given minds with which to perceive the world and come to our own ideas, I can't see why someone shouldn't voice dissent regarding actions that they disagree with. Being rulers don't exempt anyone from transparency and doing their responsibilities, after all. It's just the opposite, actually: there is a need to be more transparent and accountable.

Nobody will say that they think the right to disagree should be selective. What they will say is that when someone disagrees with their preferred administration, that person is out of bounds. There are limits. Dissension is not sedition. And sedition is not right, no matter who is advocating for it. But, everyone in the United States has the right to speak their mind (within some limits) without fear of governmental reprisal. It is our duty to voice our beliefs regardless of where they fall and not villify those who do not concur. I know who said it. I also know why she said it. Does it matter? No. The words stand on their own. However, it would be nice if people would start actually meaning them as opposed to doing lip service.

I can't believe this is happening. some one who got off the wrong foot here. and for what's more, it choses me. well, i am a bit pissed but i don't think it's in my position to be that angry. sometimes answering to a provoke discussion can even lead you to harder consequences.leave him be. feed the troll ( i think ) it will get strong, leave it hungry and it will die. Have a great day

angrykitty yes I do and we do have that right and its not unpatriotic at all. but w hat if we do not disagree with'this a dmininstration and some mylotters flame me for saying I am' for obama, have I a right to my opinion and to state it if a dozen or more mylotters think otherwise? I mean I respect all of' us and our opinions as I know we will not all agree on any one 'thing but do the disagreers have the right to say vile things to me on mylot? I dont know who said that but I m glad he did say it.

different position speak different topic. i think everyone have right to explain opinion what they think in mind.i don't care who speak it.

i have no idea who said it but i do agree with it. we must speak out when we don't agree with any thing any administration is doing. if we don't the government will do what ever they want and we will lose even more rights.
