I'm sure this attitude will change if you're boy Kerry is elected, and that's all the more frustrating. Your hatred for Bush supercedes your respect for the country.

That's bunch of bullshit, dude. The reason the "left" doesn't get its shit all twisted is because we actually allow for difference of opinion. I don't think any one of us thinks SF owes anyone an apology for his opinion, anti-american or not.
The one thing that I think none of us can stand equally, and this is likely the only place where we are intolerable of a difference of opinion, is when the right constantly brands us as american hating and questions our patriotism. We grew up in the same fucking country as you. I don't even care about what right you might have to question another's loyalty, but it certainly has to be the most rude thing to say to another US citizen purely based on political ideas.
You think you're patriotic because you won't tolerate difference of political ideas? You better check your history...and stop insulting us. The only thing I would demand an apology over would be the totally inflammatory and piercing accusation that I don't love my nation and its ideals as much as anyone else who grew up here and I think it's odd that you keep on this track even though I haven't seen one person from the left calling someone from the right on this board unpatriotic or anti-american. In fact, one could even argue that an american can't, by definition and according to the tenets laid down in the constitution, be anti-american--no matter what he or she believes.
