CONSERVATIVE ANTI-AMERICANISM STILL PAYS LIP SERVICE TO LOVE OF COUNTRY: ITS PROPONENTS DECLARE THEMSELVES THE TRUE PATRIOTS, DESCRIBING THEIR ENEMIES AS THE NATION'S BETRAYERS. BUT WHEN THE CADRE OF TRAITORS INCLUDES EVERYONE FROM ELECTION ADMINISTRATORS, TO OLYMPIANS, TO THE CAPITAL POLICE, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT THE ONLY AMERICA THEY LOVE IS THE ONE THAT EXISTS IN THEIR HEADS. WHEN THEY CONTEMPLATE THE ACTUAL UNITED STATES-THE REAL AMERICA IF YOU WILL, THEY ARE FILLED WITH SCORN. BY ZACK BEAUCHAMP
