It's impossible to like Bush AND love America.
One can like Bush and love fascism. However, that's not America. Completely.
Or, as you point out, yet.
In order to love America, one must almost revere her Constitution, her Bill of Rights, and be willing to die to defend those. Many, many people have, though not ONE chickenhawk.
One does not "defend" the Constitution and Bill of Rights by suspending them. One "defends" them by leaving them in place even though it's inconvenient, difficult, hard. And people might die in that process. They die in defense of liberty and democracy.
Those that nibble away at the Constitution and Bill of Rights also destroy what makes, or made, America great. And the chickenhawks do it in the name of patriotism.
