Besides, I don't hate America. Some of the greatest men lived in America like Malcolm X, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Warith Deen Mohammed, Mohmahd Yussef Shawarbi, Martin Luther King, etc...

The problem with your defense (which is a good one) is that when you do speak out against America, you speak out against America as a whole. You don't say "America's policy of ...." you say "Fuck America". I'm America. Fuck you. I hope you get my point.

I rarely speak about America as a whole. Mainly I speak about my dislike for Bush. I liked America when Clinton was in power.

That's your problem. Your response leads the assumption that you DON'T like America now that bush is in power. You base your entire opinion of a country on who the president is. Grow up.

Perhaps you misconstrued what I said. I do not dislike America as a whole. However, I dislike the way it is run now that Bush is in control.

^ You just said you "liked America" when clinton was in control. That leads me to believe you no longer like America. I'm glad you cleared it up now. So you like me, then, right? I'm American.
