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

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.

Finally, it was a badge of honor to American Colonists who hated England.

And, if I'm not mistaken, it was a badge of honor to those of us who hated the Clinton crime wave that masqueraded as government. How quickly people forget.

It's interesting you had to use totalitarian or semi-totalitarian examples to make your point. Let me know when the U.S. Congress decides to criminalize, by fiat, being a Jew.

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!!

Maybe you need to join the Anti-War crowd or the "America is to blame for all bad things in the world" groups. Such a pity that you are stuck in this pitiful excuse for a country.
