You can love your country without approving of its government. This is the hardest part for some people to understand.
Bill Clinton once told us, you can't love your country and hate your government.
You most certainly can.
Many perfectly patriotic Americans found Clinton himself loathsome, disgusting, and shameful. It was because they loved their country that they hated having him symbolize it to the world.
Some people feel the same way about President Bush.

The parties differ not in kind, but only in degree, and a slim degree at that. We have two parties in name, but one ideology: the ideology of power.
As Howard Phillips once said, the Democrat train heads for the cliff at 90 mph, the GOP train at 70. Either way, you're going off the cliff.
We need a different train heading in the opposite direction.

On the plane of morality, there exist no fundamental differences between the personnel of the Saddam regime and the Bush administration.
The latter operates in every sphere with unashamed lawlessness and violence. If there is a difference in the degree of brutality against its own citizens, the "restraint" exercised by the Bush forces is a matter of circumstance rather than moral superiority over the killers and torturers of the ousted Iraqi regime.

To put blind faith in government is as stupid as putting blind faith in what a used-car salesman tells you. It is also un-American. In our great country, sovereignty rests with the people, and the proper attitude of a citizen toward government at all levels is courteous skepticism. Elected officials and bureaucrats are your servants, not your masters.

I attack only leftists, of which Dubya and his buffoon advisors are ones. Apparently he thinks if someone calls himself a conservative, then he is a conservative. If I call myself rich and handsome, that doesn't make me Sean Connery, does it?

War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
--Thomas Jefferson
As for Iraq's alleged stockpile of weapons of mass destruction, we have witnessed the biggest failure in intelligence in modern history; or been misled with the biggest lies foisted on Western democracy. Or both. It's now clear that only one man was honest about WMDs in the run-up to the war. Not Bush. Not Blair. Not Howard. It was, of course, Saddam Hussein, who denied having them.
-- Phillip Adams
When we talk of terrorism in America, we're dealing almost exclusively with cases inspired by some grievance. Timothy McVeigh had a grievance against federal government run amok. Osama bin Laden and his crew have a grievance against our federal government, too. They hate the way it has interfered in Middle Eastern affairs, and the specific harms they believe it has visited upon Arabs. Without resentment over these grievances there simply would never have been any Islamist terrorism on American soil.
And if we could prevent our government from creating such grievances practically everywhere it turns, we could end terrorism in America.

Dear HotRodSixString - With which mass murderer have I aligned myself? John McCain was doing whoopie w/Cindy while married to his 1st wife. He approved of the 10-year blockade of Iraq which killed 500,000 innocent Iraqi children. He approved of GW Bush's unconstitutional, amoral war against Iraq which has killed & maimed countless innocent Iraqis & American soldiers & bankrupted the USA. I suggest you do a little investigating. Thanks for watching the video!

Obama has already passed Bush in terms of 'SUCK-FACTOR'.
