Many Americans love the symbolism of the American flag and the ego boost of being part of the most militarily and economically powerful country in the America. Many so called patriots despise vast swaths of the American populace. Its something you see often in these forums, especially P&OC. Had she said "I love America. I hate Americans." you'd have a lot of people quietly agreeing while pretending to be outraged.

Of course, look at the whole democrats hate America rhetoric for offering a different than what republicans want. You can insert liberals or progressives for democrats and conservatives for republicans. It is nuts.

On a forum I can only speak to what people write. I cannot speculate on what they quietly agree with.

Just don't take her to lunch and go to the restroom after you order your meal.

She hates America? What is that....a flavor?

Reminds me of a quote Ghandi said or supposedly said :

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

Oh the humanity! The fact that people are upset about this shows that priorities dont exist anymore. Millions of people say they hate America everyday, who cares?

The same people that are hissing a fit over this are the same people that were saying they hate America last week becasue the gay marriage legalization. Get real.

You obviously cared enough to whine and cry about nothing consequential. Lol I always love when people quote you and then tell you they don't care. Its something a child would do.
