Re: It's all about "and"
Saw it thirty-five years ago, seeing it again: opposition to a specific American president's policies and actions becomes equated with opposition to, if not hatred of, the United States itself.
L'etat c'est moi (pardon the likely misspelling) is antithetical to the America established by its Revolution. It should still be anathema to those granted, however tenuously, the task of representationally governing the Republic in the name of its people.
Surely there is room in the mindset of patriots for pro-American reasons for being anti-Bush.
