"There's been an overt message in the mainstream media that if you criticize the president, you're criticizing America and you're unpatriotic — which is ridiculous, because this country was founded on dissent."

Ahh yes, the standard leftist bilge that dissent isn't allowed in this country. Actually that's what they really wish was the case, so they can think of themselves as dissidents, like the real ones that were in the old Soviet empire, or like the 60s protesters.

The founders of this country WERE unpatriotic to England. They dissented against the crown and knew that they faced charges of treason. Also, our independence was declared in 1776 but we continued to fight against the British for decades.

Those who cheer on the foreign "insurgents" (jihadists) fighting the US AND the Iraqis in Iraq ARE antiAmerican.

GIS for "Anti-Flag"

They have a rebellious look to go along with their namesake. LOL.

Third one from the left looks like a younger version of the lead singer for "Jane's Addiction".
