can someone just bluntly say...

[acroyear]

...that not liking things the government of the united states has done, and being willing to say so, is not in any way "hating America".

just once?

please?

I just want this bullshit talking point that the GOP has been shoving down our faces for the last 8 years to just go away once and for all.

Joe, we've all been saying it for the past eight years. No one is afraid to say it. But neocons know they can gain votes by continuing to parrot this ridiculous notion.

How about a quote from Theodore Roosevelt:

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. (1918)

I love my country.

I hate my government.

They are not the same thing and anyone who says different is a fucking partisan moron.
