Why is it....
Conservatives (self described) criticize US domestic policy, and claim that criticizing foreign policy is un American.
Liberals (self described) criticize US foreign policy, and claim that criticizing domestic policy is un American.
Interesting.
Hey ditto, I understand your rhetorical question isn't directed at anybody in particular, so I hope you don't mind my responding to it. For my part, our foreign policy is paramount, and I spend a great deal of time fretting over it, I can't be everywhere, all the time. But surely you have seen my support of Edward Snowden (I know, who's that right?) and my criticisms of domestic spying, the militarisation of our police, and the continual attacks to our civil liberties. I do care about domestic policy, but I suppose my thorn in the side is our FP, and I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT consider criticism of domestic policy as anti-American, or any dissent for that matter as anti-American. That distinction is for the partisan at heart, and I am most definitely not a partisan, for what that's worth.
