I'm reminded of _Coriolanus_. Unless anti-imperialists parade their wounds (abject protestations of adherence to the City on the Hill as the acme of human achievement) they are automatically assumed to "Hate Americans." (I know I changed "Hate America" to "Hate Americans," but "Hate America" is a code term for the latter on the part of those who dress love it or leave it in leftist clothing.)
Justin must be busy today. He hasn't responded yet to my suggestion that his praise of "America" was in fact tautological when applied to any "national" or "tribal" or whatever group in human history. And as such, his post really does not put him among the "Love America" adherents.
