I find it interesting that people who wish to effect changes in the behavior of the United States are frequently described as "American-hating".

If your child spits on your neighbor's shoes or kills their cat, and you tell the child to stop this, do you hate the child?

And I would ask, rather, if your child spits on your neighbor's shoes or kills their cat, and you DO NOT tell the child to stop this, do you love the child?

My answer is, that's pretty obvious. That would be 180 degrees opposite of what is actually said and practiced throughout the Blogdom, however. Not PC...

And what, then, if the child persists...?? You okay-fine with that...??

"And I would ask, rather, if your child spits on your neighbor's shoes or kills their cat, and you DO NOT tell the child to stop this, do you love the child?" My point exactly. If my country does something I consider wrong and I do not speak up, do I love my country? If it does something wrong and I DO speak up, why do people say I hate my country?
