Well said Mr. Smith. Those who are bashing the USA are mostly self-loathing lefties that never got over the fact that their tree-hugging poster boy Gore got his ass whipped in the election. To their credit, they never stop with their blind hatred of all things Bush. September 11 was the worst thing that happened to their tired crusade of Bush-bashing. Bush and his administration rose to the fore and reacted promptly and decisively to the threat that terrorism left at our doorstep. As "W" piles up victory after victory and they dig in their heels with nightmarish visions of hanging chads in their dreams, they never waiver in what must be an exhausting search for the latest conspiracy theory to blame on Bush and his administration. I do admire them for that. I laugh my ass off at them at times. But I do admire them. As someone who's voting record is somewhere in the vacinity of 60/40 percent, leaning to the right. I need their blinding hatred towards Bush to lead me away from them and in the direction of sanity. Much like the numbnuts who spent millions of taxpayer dollars to try and get rid of Clintons dumbass, these anti-Bush zealots are no less pathetic.
