Bashing Bush is not bashing the US. They are not the same thing. It is unfortunate that you do not understand that a system of government with more than one party is going to generate vigorous dissent. That is the whole point of having more than one party. People who want the opposition to leave the country, because they don't agree with the party in power, really would be more comfortable in a dictatorship- where opposition is not allowed. Ironic, isn't it? "He very very consistently bashes Bush...Don't think I've EVER seen a positive post from him. Just shows you what Progressives/Marxists think. Unhappy dudes should leave for a country more suited to their beliefs. Syria, or perhaps Syberia might be a better match for anyone who hates the US and Bush so much." One could say that people who do not want opposition to their party when it is in power really ought to go live in a dictatorship- but that would be wrong also. It's the broad spectrum of belief tolerated in this country that has, so far, made it an interesting and relatively safe place to live. Of course you can kill dissent if you want to, but I'm not sure it's a good idea.
