To some people, being patriotic is nothing more than showing obedience to those in power. Was the thinking the same when the other presidents were in office?
To oppose the U.S. war machine is to hate America, as far as government-lovers are concerned. To stand up against politicians who press for more wars is traitorous. But, on the other hand, to be a cheerleader is to being a good, patriotic American. They think that freedom is a nice idea, but government security is much more important.
For them, the military is America. War is America. The president is America. The NSA is America. Every politician that they love and worship is America. And, if you don't like it, you obviously hate America. You must be some kind of terrorist, or communist, or whatever term they decide to label you with; and you'd rather be living in some foreign dictatorship.
It's important to note, though, that most discussions on patriotism neglect the most important issue - what it really means to love America.
You see, I love America. I love the liberty that still does exist here. I refuse to live in a socialist dictatorship like Cuba. But what is it that makes America great? Is it its two-trillion dollar government? Is it its role as world Superpower or its self-proclaimed status as spreader of democracy? Absolutely not.
What do you mean by 'hater'?
Don't you hate haters?
