English term or phrase: ...are burning us
el articulo es una crítica a la política de Bush y en esta parte se está criticando la idea de eliminar la palabra 'french fries' y reemplazarla por 'freedom fries' por el hecho de que Francia no los apoya en la guerra de Irak. ¿como traducirían?

those 'feedom fries' are burning us.

Gracias a todos

Nos dan colera, nos dan furia, nos arden, nos enojan, non enchilan


Explanation:
El significado de "something is burning me," es que da colera o enojo. Lo dificil es el juego de palabras con burning de quemar. Si fuera para Mexico yo diria me enchilan.

Nos tienen fritos


Explanation:
Creo que es la expresión castellana que mejor se adecúa, además remite a las patatas fritas.
Por cierto, falta la R en "freedom"
