wait a second...
M Moore. ( as well as all of the other media loud-mouths on both sides of the spectrum) are problematic not because they "hate" america, but because, like other zealots, they "love" it too much.
i like this country well enough. for all its lofty, somewhat naive, idealism, as well as its backwoods sentimentality. however, it makes me very nervous to live in a country where america hating straw-men are one notch below child-molester.
the very definition of arrogance is "my X is the best X in the world,"
we've all said "i hate this town/city/state/company/etc". why not "dude, right now, i'm really sick of this fucking country..."
I know, blashpemy right?
historically speaking, nationalism coupled with fear is the deadliest thing in the world.
