        That's kinda what I was wondering. The right, and especially Limbaugh, say this kind of thing all the time but they never provide evidence that anyone on the left ever said anything even remotely like that.

      How much capacity for self-reflection must you lack to so shamelessly mock SELF-REFLECTION?!

      Here's a more accurate tenet of the left: We must consider what we are doing that contibutes the to problem, so that the productive actions we take are more effcetive, and no resources are wasted on activity that'scounter-productive.

      Here's my 'limbaugh-version' of the right's primary tenent in this case: America is great, so anything we do is therefore great and as long as we don't think we can ever do anything wrong we'll always be great. Whatever we do, don't doubt for a moment that everthing we do is perfect, and that any countries that don't like it - even our allies - are our enemies anyway. So who needs em.

        For them, the slogan "My Country, right or wrong" has little meaning. In their minds, we're never wrong.

        I think a better slogan for them is "If you're not me, screw you."

          For many of us the slogan "My Country, Right or Wrong" means giving the benefit of the doubt to, and standing by the nation even when we make mistakes. It is because of that that we respond so viscerally to the non-stop criticism of America. Even when we are doing the right thing the left finds ways to criticise our means, or presentation, or the perception that others might have of us.

          Perhaps a better interpretation of your second slogan is "if you aren't me I'm going to question your motivation"...
