Just browsed through the first 18 posts in the genre. I found 2 or 3 that are clearly anti-Bush, but definitely not anti-American. The others are far more general in nature, some were decrying abuse or stalking, others were about pollution. Issues that are important everywhere in the world, statements that apply to America as well as to every other country.

The United States are the biggest player in the world. The most influential. So it's not surprising that its actions and policies are the most critiqued. I'm from a much smaller country, and whatever our government does, it just doesn't have the same impact, the same visibility. As long as the US are the leading power in the world (and I hope that will be a LONG time to come - though I do not agree with many of the current administration's politics, I shudder at the thought of some other countries becoming the world leaders!) it will bear the brunt of the critiques. A fact of life.

As xonocostle said, the fact that the posts you don't agree with are allowed to stand means that Renderosity does its part in upholding one of the pillars of democracy, the right of free speech.

So I invite you, wizardtim, to counter with your own art and statements. I will probably not agree with many of your views, but that doesn't matter in this context. USE the freedom that you have.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
