once again, what if the war in iraq had just broken out, fahrenheit 9/11 had just come out, and george w. bush wanted to speak to schoolkids about education. BRAINWASHING!!!

You seem to have missed my point. I'm not saying that opposing Obama is opposing America. That would be a stupid assertion. What I said is that Obama's opponents have reached a point where they're opposing him at the expense of America. For instance, as I mentioned earlier, losing the Olympics meant losing a huge influx of revenue for the entire U.S. - liberals and conservatives alike - but many Republicans literally cheered the national loss because they prioritize any defeat of Obama over a victory for the country. That's ass-backwards.

Also, I didn't say Democrats don't do similar stuff. In fact, I was complaining about Democrats doing the same kinds of things here on these boards during Bush's administration. What bothers me is that Republicans are doing the same thing but on steroids now - and with guns.
