it feels unpatriotic to criticize the President on other matters while the war is ongoing

'feels'... that's how it's being spun, and I'd say this is a deliberately inculcated feeling, HUAC-style.

"Whoever is not with us is against us", so if you disagree you are not only unpatriotic but favouring terrorism. Great propaganda. Whatever happened to freedom of speech, freedom to dissent? (What was the name of that comedian who got sacked again? has he found work since?)

Plus every policy is packaged for whatever tangential 'antiterrorist' or aim it can get (ICBM defence is ant-terrorist? shure... tax cuts for the rich? whatever)
so if you disagree, see above.

Hence my disquiet.
