OK, here:  The elected and un-elected leadership of the United States practice terrorism and illegal manipulation of other countries in the world, and the US' own citizens, for the purpose of maintaining and increasing control over markets and natural resources.  They have no real interest in the freedom of their citizens or of other peoples.  Further, the government works primarily for the benefit of moneyed interests and has been thus since the founding of the republic.<p>These are statements that I think you would agree "undermine the [US'] leaders."  But we have the right to say them, and it is something we are very proud of.  Almost all countries claim to offer this right to their citizens, but the US actually does grant it and protect it.
