For the ignorant hate-mongering types, yes. For the more intelligent, true patriots, no - they still believe in the strength of a pluralistic society. Sadly, they rarely, if ever stand up to their less civilized brethren. By nature, conservative thought is not very tolerant of dissent.

I don't think they mean either. When the phrase anti-American is used, I think they are referring to an individual who doesn't have the best interest of the country at heart. I may not be conservative and I am damn sure not a liberal. Either way, doesn't make me anti-Bush or anti-Republican. President Bush doesn't always make the best decision, because he has a very high-pressured job; his hair has gone from salt and pepper to blinding greyish white since he has entered the oval office. Yes, it's what he chose to do and no you don't have to stand beside someone you don't believe in.. Simply protest if you don't like it or quietly walk away.

No. even with what you may think of, each and every u . s . in Europe makes its political judgements on what impacts itself no longer upon the U. S. stance on something. Nicholas Sarkozy have been given elected in France specially through fact they have had some years of socialist rule and the French believed it became time for a metamorphosis. He did no longer boost any professional-Bush commentry during his election however... Angela Merkel in Germany is an marvelous economist, only what the Germans have been finding for to assist their stalled financial equipment. returned, no professional Bush comments during election time. Tony Blair, even with the undeniable fact that became particularly plenty forced out of place of work in Britain through fact he have been given into mattress with Bush over Iraq and could be recognized for extremely some time as a frontrunner who handed over the direct needs of people who elected him. Gordon Brown is presently smiling and nodding alongside with Bush yet is slowly backing away. The Conservative occasion will probable no longer proceed to assist the conflict ought to they get elected. there is not any silent majority in Europe. i'm afraid it truly is a silent minority. Getting smaller on a daily basis. Europe is anti-Iraq conflict. no longer anti-American.

In their rather insular and closed minds there is no difference, when we know that Bush and all his actions have been anti-American.
Nation building
war mongering
Patriot Acts
Katrina
9/11
Ruined Economy
I could go on.

Both. Some people think that the governor/party is the country. Also some people think that the party is just the leader.

Anti-American is given to the people that say America deserves this and/or that everything is Americas fault. So your answer is no.

Rosie O'Donnell calling the troops terrorists is anti-American.

That would be my guess. I know that not all Republicans are guilty of this, but I have to say that the ones who are tend to think that anyone who doesn't think exactly like they do is somehow unpatriotic.

Maybe for some, but I think it's anti-American to want your country to surrender, then pretend you're doing it because you care about the troops.
