And what exactly "flies in face of the good freedoms upon which the government was founded?" The fact that I can state what views I can't stand on the message board?? Or the fact that I'm saying if this is country is so terrible that people should move instead of staying in this so-called terrible place??

You can state almost anything you want on a message board.
I don't know you and have no feelings one way or the other about you personally, but, as I said, the "Love it or leave it" attitude is basically telling someone else they they don't have the right to state their views.
Where would the Civil Rights movement have gotten if all of it's champions had simply left without stating their views? How about women's rights? Gay rights? You know, some of those folks said some not very flattering things about the way things were/are in this country. Some were right and some were wrong, but a lot of good came from their dissention.
In my opinion, it can't go both ways.
I believe that the framers of our Republic wouldn't have said, "Love it or Leave It," but rather, if you don't like it, work for change. That's what dissenting views are about.
