I've heard many times something like:
"If you don't support the president, you're don't love your country", or "you're not patriotic".
For exmaple: Is the president of Mouseland, Mouseland?

If what I have heard is correct, why my analogy is awful?
By the way I'm not talking about USA only.

That political rhetoric has been around as long as the US has. It is merely an attempt to stake a position; a straw-man argument.
Never let such criticism stop you from thinking and saying what you believe.

Oh, no, most definitely not!
You see:
1 - the President is a human being and
2 - the country is a chunk of land.
See the difference? I was sure you would!

Most reasonable people do not make the statement to which you refer.
Most realize that the PEOPLE of this country ELECTED our President.
Also, there is a CONGRESS which is ONE THIRD of our government.

Such polemics take the place of reasonable discourse for mental midgets capable only of repeating cliches others have fed them.

no of course not. a president is a person and is separate from a country and definitely doesn't represent the opinions or beliefs of all the people in it.
