Do you value American values or foreign values?
Ameican values - freedom, liberty, opportunity, equality, democracy.
Foreign values - not known, but it could mean supporting values that support terrorists. You never know....
So what's your choice? I hope it's the first one
It's easy: you're either with us or against us. Pick one.

Those are qualities that most of the world have had and some like the Greeks had some 2,000 years before the US was known about,,they are also the foundation stones of the French Republic ,The US did not invent those ,they did however invent the KKK
And as for terrorism,the US supported the IRA riight through the 1960s to the 1990s,you really do need to learn more,,

Sorry, I think you're suggesting something like if you don't agree with American values you must be against us.
I'll be sure to tell that to my mates in Afghanistan and Iraq who thought we were actually on the same side.
Foreign values; something you need not concern your little head with, as obviously you've found the ones that suit you. Clearly you cannot comprehend the fact that the world outside the US has many, many different values. Some of them even match yours.
American values - freedom (unless we don't like you) Liberty (see freedom) Opportunity (if you've got enough money) Equality (if you've got enough money; or little enough) democracy (if you've got enough money)
Yes, I'm highly cynical; but that's what you get when you set yourself up as a target like you just have.
Ptyiur... he's arrogant and up himself, so he must be a British troll.... really? You don't have arrogant tossers in the US?
Pull the other one, mate. There are @rseholes in every country. Being the USA does not exempt your nation from that.

Values are values they dont have a nationality.
Many many many people around the world have the very same values as the so called "American" values you have stated.
And if you watch carefully,those "values" are only applied to those with the right color and ethnicity. As Americans we have come a long way from Jim Crow but we still have ways to go and not appear hypocritical.
BTW Bush is finally out of office, like him this stupid slogan is outdated and obtuse.

You're a close minded fool. It COULD mean supporting values that support terrorists?! RIDICULOUS. Terrorists support terrorists, not foreign values. Get your head out of your *** and travel. You'll realize that most foreign countries value family, tradition, honor and freedom WAY more than America.

Freedom, liberty, opportunity, equality, and democracy. They appear to be foreign to Americans these days, but they used to be American values once.
Today, I'm not sure if the sheeple understand that they are losing all of these values, one by one and one and all.

American values seem so screwed up right now that I'm not sure I can go for either one.
If you were to say do you value the TRADITIONAL American values of freedom, liberty, opportunity, equality, democracy then yes, I do value those. Too bad our last couple of governmental adminstrations do not seem to value those things in the least.

American values of course. The rest of the world is so messed up. Although, I have to said I applaud France's president for speaking out about Berkas being a Symbol of servitude toward women.
