Let's sort out a few facts before I dump you on Ignore. Nothing in your post reflected any bigotry, so it doesn't apply. It's a standard rhetorical trick to take one condition of a multiconditional phrase and extrapolate it to an extreme argument. The post I was referring to before was full of ethnic slurs. That is bigotry. You assert that any critique of flag-waving amounts to the same judgment. It is not. If you think ethnic bigotry is a core belief of democracy and freedom, then we truly disagree on fundamental issues. If you think I hate America, you are simply practicing McCarthyism at its worst. Different from ethnic bigotry but another dark chapter in American history that common sense rightfully brought to an end. If you need to go through life looking for enemies and hatred, I have no doubt you will find them. That is the message America is presenting to the world right now while not improving our security more than a few millimeters. Now flame away, it's obviously your specialty. I'm a white male if that gives you any ethnic angles to toss in.
