The not very hidden implication being that "The Left" does NOT love America.

Is it possible to love America when you hate so many people in it?

Aside from people and land, What IS America?

Isn't it the highest ideals articulated in our Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution -- especially the Bill of Rights?

Do you support Due Process for all persons?

How about freedom of conscience, which is why James Madison and other Founders stipulated the separation of church and state?

Is it possible to truly love America while joining the effort to destroy the Constitution's checks & balances our Founders knew were essential to prevent tyrannical power in the hands of a chief executive?

Isn't Constitutional rule of law and equality under the law, maintained by the integrity of all three branches of government checking and balancing each other, the absolutely necessary operating system that makes America truly great?

You and your ilk drape yourselves in the flag and speak in reverent terms about our Constitution and nation's Founders while giving your full support to the tyrant who is underming the precious legacy our Founders created and generations of true patriots died defending.
