How can you say that you "love" America if you hate her laws? (brainwash, treason)

[Harrier]

A true patriot questions everything their government does.

That was not constitutional.

Isn't it rather dangerous for a society to just follow laws without question. Surely people have the right to protest against laws they disagree with, it's called democracy.

I'm speaking of the Constitution.

Those acts were illegal under the Constitution.

The people who supported segregation were wrong.

Only if said POTUS acts in a manner which is lawful under the Constitution.

I just wonder why many conservatives hate America so much.

None of the above are Constitutional, except for civil rights laws.

If I opt to leave this country that I love enough to die for it will be because I can't bear to see it ruined by party hardliners.
Love it or leave it????

All I ask is that laws be Constitutional.

Having the desire to filter laws through the Constitution is nonsense?

Expecting the American people to act Constitutionally instead of emotionally is nonsense?

Your statement speaks volumes and shows why we are deteriorating as a nation.

By "Laws of America", I was referring to the Constitution.
