It is not that America went wrong here or there; it is that it is wrong root and branch. The conviction at the heart of those who engage in it is really quite simple: that America is an unmitigated evil, an irredeemable enormity. This is the specter that is haunting the world today. Indeed, one may even go so far as to argue that this America is the fundamental organizing principle of the left as it exists today: To be against America is to be on the right side of history; to be for it is to be on the wrong side. Oh, please. Is there any chance we could put this loony stuff on the shelf for the duration? This is simply one more idiot attempt to paint critics of the Bush administration as anti-American; to stiffle dissent; to usher in the 1984 syndrom. Basic argumentative strategy: find some whacky comment by some one who actually knows better, then paste it up as typical of the critics, the left, whatever, and then blast away at the sheer unadulterated unpatriotic idiocy of the quote, the person, the left, and anyone else in shooting range. As I've said before, give me a break.
