I would say if you consistently criticize the government, economics, 
lifestyle, values, and culture of a nation, with hardly at all any 
acknowledgment of anything positive to come out of a nation's 
government, economics, lifestyle, values, and culture; and if you 
tend to broadly exaggerate your claims and discount any opposition; 
then, yes, I would say your views could fairly be called anti-German, 
anti-French, anti-Slovakian, or whatever. And some of the articles 
Doug forwards, some of the sources and authors, have done that. For 
instance, Noam Chomsky tends to write fairly anti-American essays; 
and Pilger certainly. Of course, being anti-Capitalist is also tied 
in there. And again, that's fine; George Will generally writes 
pro-American articles. It's a set of opinions.

Look, I am not using the phrase all foaming at the mouth with 
patriotism and jingo ire; though I know some people do so. I think in 
the context of my comments, my meaning should be obvious.
