What we have been showing you, Lane, is that a large percentage of the left doesn't.

You, collectively, have identified a handful of people who arguably do not love their country.

To date, I have seen no proffer of an argument let alone a persuasive one, that asking the straight question "who is the enemy?" or "why do they hate us?", which you may recall is where this discussion started, is anti-American. None. Or that outrage at and criticism of Bush's actions is anti-American. The closest thing I have seen to an attempted argument for the latter is Nadine's point that hating Bush equals hating America, which makes no sense to me, and which I cannot accept as a reasonable argument until and unless some explanation is provided of why the critical essence of America is its current administration, which has not even been attempted.
