Let me ask you, though, do you think these opinions are representive of most liberals? I don't. Hell, I don't even think they're representative of most war-protestors, just as I don't think seeing signs encouraging the bombing of clinics is representative of most anti-abortionists(not that I would compare the circumstances, just the people).
Quote: Below the surface of this reasoning seethes a perplexing animosity toward the United States -- not the people but the government and the economic system.
This is a distinction that perhaps isn't as clear as one might think. It begs the question, what is America? Is it the people, the history, the ideals on which the country was founded? Or is it the government, the "system", the laws and policies that dictate how it should be run?
Sometimes it seems like we(both liberals and conservatives) equate the two, when we really shouldn't.
