then the slice of "America" that you actually love is very thin indeed and mostly theoretical.

That's dreadful hyperbole. You can hate Bush and everything he's done and still love almost all of America. You can love your constitutions, your drinking water, your system of justice, your natural resources, jazz, everything else about your lovely fellow citizens except whatever streak they have that made them vote for Bush and hate liberals, our wealth and comforts, ingenuity, technology, efficiency, etc., etc. Bush and the dozen really awful things that he has done are just a small part of America and a passing one at that. There's plenty of America beyond Bush.

Hating Bush's actions is no broader a slice of America than that of the folks who hate the school system, the supreme court, Hollywood, academia, the bureaucracy, and seculars. What about them? Are they anti-American, too?

Having a "thing" about those who judge Bush to be a wrong'un exaggerates their slice grossly out of proportion.
