Why do liberals support protests and rebellion in other countries but not in America?

Geez.... what a silly analogy.

While we are now a democrazy, that’s not what we’re supposed to be. As set down by our forefathers and outlined in The Constitution, we’re a free constitutional republic. Democrazies are nothing but mob rule, and people’s rights are trampled because mobs rule with emotion over intellect. That’s why it’s supposed to be a free constitutional republic. It’s supposed to keep mobs whipped into an emotional frenzy from passing ridiculous laws.

What gives? If revolution by pro-Democracy forces is good in the Middle East, then why not in the USA? Is it because the "pro-Democracy" rebels in the Middle East are actually Islamists actively working towards the implementation of Sharia Law in the countries mentioned above? Or is it because liberals hate freedom so much they can't stand the idea of dissent from their God-King Obama? Discuss.

This thread should have been aborted. Obama regime? God-King Obama? Disagreeing with the Tea Partiers is not the same as shooting them in the street. Get back to me when there are actually tens of millions protesting in the middle of downtown in various cities bringing about a halt to daily activities and business. Get back to me when "Dictator" Obama is using the military to shoot and mow down said protesters in the street. Your analogy sucks to the high heaven. In this country, we are allowed freedom of speech or did you forget? You can basically mouth off and b*tch and moan like you usually do on a site like this, and guess what? It doesn't get shut down. Unlike in Libya for example which shut its internet down due to protests. Unlike those other countries we have elections. Yes, thats right real elections. lol. I mean that's how Tea Party supported Republican congressmen got elected to their positions. Lol. That's how President Obama got elected. So I'm still trying to figure out what your malfunction is.

Just another right-winger venting in public.

I do support the right of the Tea-Party to believe as they believe.

However, supporting their right to have their beliefs doesn't mean I'm not allowed to disagree vocally with them.

As while they have their beliefs, I think they're rather idiotic and too far-right.
