I don't know why "hating the government" would be a badge of honor to anyone or any organization.

And Lazamataz replies: "It was a badge of honor to Germans who hated Nazism. It was a badge of honor to Italians who hated Fascism. It was a badge of honor to Russians who hated Stalinism and Communism. It was a badge of honor to Cambodians who hated Pol Pot."

Are you suggesting our country is as evil as the governments you just mentioned?

BTW, both of us LOVE this country!! If you and BADJOE hate it, then speak up now to us. We want to know!!

Go back and reread what was posted. The 'country' and the 'government' are not one and the same thing.

I note you left out this one: "Finally, it was a badge of honor to American Colonists who hated England."

I think we are somewhere in the middle between American Colonists who hated England, and Italians who hated Fascism, with -- at this point -- a strong leaning towards American Colonists who hated England.

Sorry to pee in your koolaid like that.
