Maybe there were "Germany bashers" when the Nazis were gaining power, and the "patriots" were slapping stars on people...Ya think?

Yes, of course. That's just part of the propaganda machine that was set up when the bushites took over. It's an old, but true and tried, method of propaganda - first, demonize your detractors.
It's like saying if you disagree with a law, then you're against the legal system itself and are an anarchist. If people thought like that, you'd still get a fine for wearing a hat on a Sunday.

People who bash something are obviously not happy and want to see change.
You will never get 100% of people to agree with anything, except maybe free beer for all or don't kill me. Actually even those two won't work, because not all people want to live...... anyways, since not everyone can be happy at the same time with everything (no Utopias) you will always get basher.
As much as I hate what Hitler did, he was a genius- most people in Germany did not even know what was really going on until it was too late. And his soldiers- honestly thought they were doing a good deed- that is how all wars start.

I agree.
The critics and dissidents are the people that make a free society possible.
I knock the government as much as possible because I want enlightened leadership that isn't a slave to money.
I knock religions because of the intolerance and hatred that is so often reflected in their rhetoric.

No doubt, man.
I tend to bash America, only because I care about the future, and want my kids to experience the freedom I have had living here.

Maybe so, but bashing is generally not the most productive method of inducing change.
If I "bash" my wife when she upsets me it will probably not work as well as having a rational conversation about it.

Fine, but it's pointless. You're not gaining anything. The only people who want to hear it are the people who already agree with you, and the people who don't agree will just rail even harder against you for it.

Sure, but many are just plain negative no matter what the case.
Only bash if you have a actual, viable solution. Otherwise, work on one....silently.

Or maybe they just want to complain. Bashing doesn't get anything done. Getting off their a** and doing something about it, does get things done.

But, BASHING, feeds the fire.
If they truly want to see improvement, then don't bash. That would be the BEST improvement.
