<Do you think that the Bush Administration and/or Republicans ARE this nation, and that not liking Republican policies means one does not love their country

Were you watching the election at all?

Perhaps the results were different in Bowserworld -- that, or you're just some crybaby sitting in the corner mumbling "Not in my name -- oh, please, not in my name...", just because you suddenly don't like the rules of the game you've been playing all your freakin’ life.

Welcome to the American Process.

Because that seems to be the implication. That someone who doesn't endorse the Republican agenda is unpatriotic, treasonous.

Of course not. It just makes you an insufferable whiner, and a legal target for ridicule. You ask for it, you get it.

You can go ahead and twist that all up in your fetid little mind too, but reality merely shoots you the following request:

"Suck up, buck up, and just grow up."

So, now that we're finally past my first little paragraph, what about the rest of it? What is your solution for international terrorism? I'd really like to know. And none of this, “Everything is fine, I just want them to be more careful about who they kill and how they go about it”-crap. If everything’s fine, you have no complaint, because the folks running the war ARE being careful. If they were not, carpet bombs would be the rule of thumb. You just can’t seem to handle the fact that war = death, pain, and suffering, and it always will -- just not as much as it used to be (i.e., we're more careful today). Well, we were invited to the game, B, but we happen to be playing for keeps.

So far, all I've seen from you amounts to "Life under Bush sucks big-time!", or some other whiny response. Not much of a game-plan, is it?
