You are completely correct on all counts, of course. It never ceases to amaze me that some people can’t distinguish between the United States (the country) and the government, including the President. I guess this proves the efficacy of the brainwashing done by the “publik skools” and other instruments of social control. Anyone who can think for him or herself can easily distinguish these two without effort, and see that one can love one’s country and loathe its government. In fact, these days, if you love this country, that isn’t just possible: it’s inescapable.
