27. this was a strategy started
by the GOP in the 80's during the Iran-Contra thing to take heat off of the people who deserved it and make it seem as if the Dems/liberals "hated America" because they wanted justice served. This is a line right out of Rush's playbook, and I can't believe that you're buying it. Just because people want to make America better and hold our country to a "higher" set of morals because we are the "greatest nation on earth" doesn't mean we hate America, rather, we want to ensure its greatness. What a load of crap! Do people who want shrub held accountable for sending our soldiers to die for no reason that can be elucidated "hate america"? Do people who want to see justice served to the people who have been wronged by the american government "hate america"? This is where I think you are wrong my friend, people who want justice do not hate America, America is founded on the concept of justice, and if you hate justice, then you hate America. Sorry for the rant, this is just one of the most common talking points of the right, and it sickens me to see it brought out to justify killing people for no reason "just because we warned them", the ends don't justify the means if the means were corrupt to begin with.
