The problem as I see it is not that some people disagree with American policies and procedures. That is all valid and totally American, and you'll see quite a few conservatives disagreeing with what Bush or America does.

What astonishes me and other conservatives is the amount of sheer hate for America displayed by protesters and posters on leftist forums like Dem Underground. You'll see these people condemn America for supposed "crimes" against other peoples, but you'll never see them condemn communist regimes or recognize the good that America has done. The same leftists ridicule conservatives for having a black and white attitude for looking at the world. But they themselves have this same attitude when discussing Republicans and conservatives. In short leftists certainly do have a good vs. evil view of the world the same thing they deride Republicans and conservatives for having.

I myself do not believe everything we've done, like the occupation of the Philippines, has been good. But the good America has done for its own people and the world far outweighs whatever bad things we've done. This is something leftists, blinded by Marxist theory, refuse to understand. So go ahead and disagree, but try to keep ideology out of the equation. Results are what counts, not theory.

I was astonished too at what I saw after 9/11. You'd think that event would have catalyzed everyone into putting aside partisan differences. But it didn't. People can justify/rationalize anything.
