Interesting point: conservatives can bash America and not be called Unamerican

Feministe takes on Scarborough and his America-hating friends like Tom Delay.
"America is no longer good."

"Unrighteousness, evil, corruption, perversion and death are now standard operating procedure in the United States of America."

Imagine if liberal politicians were calling America "evil" and predicting its demise. They'd be labelled as anti-American and contemptable. Hell, all a left-leaning person has to do is say that she wasn't mistreated by Iraqis and that's enough to call her a suicide bomber.

But it's a-ok when right-wing Christian leaders complain about their evil country.

By the way, Christianity is apparently under attack in America. And they have a point. I mean, just look at all the Christ-hating Jews who have occupied the Whitehouse over the past century. And all the Buddhists in Congress. Not to mention all those Hindus sitting on the Supreme Court! Just as expected, atheists are routinely accorded more respect than all religious people. And it's not like the vast majority of Americans identify as Christians or anything. Clearly, we are an oppressed minority here."

right, the cloak of righteousness. It never extends over the Democrats or the opponents of righteousness.
