They may love the Concepts of america's freedom, but for whatever reason they Hate America AS it is currently being RAN.
They have a blind hatred for President Bush. They will do whatever it takes to bring him down, no matter the consequence.
The Moron who just says's Impeach Bush and Chaney need to have a REAL reason to impeach him. SO far all the reasons you have EVER given where either FALSE, or not illegal at all! and Just because you don't like him is not a valid reason.
The other Moron who thinks because we question thier patriotism we are wrong needs to understand what a true patriot is. I will give you the LONG definition after this...
Patriotism denotes positive attitudes by individuals to their own perceived civic or political community, to its culture, its members, and to its interests. Actions towards other countries, or to non-civic groups, are not generally described as patriotic, and they may be referred to by a specific name, such as pro-Greek philhellenism. Patriotism is closely related to nationalism. Differences between the two are commonly claimed to be that patriotism is primarily emotional and related to positive attitudes to one's own community, while nationalism combines both positive attitudes to one's own community and negative attitudes to other communities and is related to war.[1]
To some, patriotism has connotations of self-sacrifice, implying that the individual should place the interests of the community above their personal interests, and in extreme cases their lives and the lives of other individuals, perceived to be members of a different community. In wartime, patriotism as so understood is assumed to be the main driving force for participation in military operations, certainly if it is voluntary. In this context patriotism is seen as an explanation for the apparent suspension of the instinct for self-preservation, which implies that all humans would avoid a battlefield.
Others, however, associate patriotism with the common good, with the aim of responding to conflicts in ways which ensure that everyone in the perceived national community benefits. As such, patriotism has ethical connotations: it implies that the political community is in some way a moral standard or moral value in itself. The expression my country right or wrong - a misquotation of the American naval officer Stephen Decatur (but actually attributable to Carl Schurz, a nineteenth century German revolutionary who later immigrated to the United States)- is the extreme form of this belief. The primary implication of patriotism in ethics is that a person has more moral duties to fellow members of the political community, as distinct from non-members. In social science terminology, this doctrine is a form of discrimination. Ethical cosmopolitanism is the doctrine that no distinction should be made among humans, in the degree of moral obligation.[citation needed]
The term patriotism is generally used in the context of an already existing political community. It can be voluntary and emotional empathy, and it can be officially promoted by the government - usually both. National sentiments often dovetail with the patriotic, but they should not be confused, since national communities are unlike civic or political ones in that they are, for the most part, located within civil society rather than in and around the state. National movements are also concerned with the state, however, especially when it is felt that the national community has not been sufficiently recognized by the state, with the consequence that the nation cannot be considered wholly free. What often then arises are national liberation movements, such as Irish Republicanism, Basque and Québécois separatism. In Northern Ireland two parallel national cultures co-exist, one Irish-Republican and one pro-British unionist. In Belgium, pro-Belgian patriotism is weak, while the nationalism of the country`s nations are strong.
Ethical attitudes which are alternative to patriotism include either more restrictive self-interest, that thinkers as Aristotle and Machiavelli refer to as "corruption", in which citizens are more concerned with their personal and group interests than with the common good of the political community as a whole, and much wider forms of altruism, such as the human rights tradition, in which positive attitudes are held to everybody in the whole human community living on the planet Earth. In practice, many patriots would see treason as the 'opposite of patriotism'.

They hate what America stands for, it's past and it's current direction.
They have an agenda to 'tear down' what they don't like and give complimentary press time to the leftist / activist agenda which leans towards:
1. Socialist ideas. group effort / group benefit
2. anti big business
3. "black box spending" .. ie hide where the money comes from (ie taxes) and label the expenditures as "investments" (welfare, drug addicts, lazies)

Why don't you ask that same question of whoever it is who has access to such classified information and decided to leak the information to the NY Times?

you can criticize and not hate America.. a concept apparently lost on conservatives... a group who will 'swift boat' anyone who dares to disagree with them.
