NRA & SDS

Based on what  I heard as a young man of the 60s from the SDS and other left wing radicals , it appears to me that the leadership and extreme supporters of the NRA also hate America. The anti -US and anti- military rhetoric of the NRA borders on the kind of thing that was called treasonous as applied to radicals by conservatives and others back then.


The term "love it or leave it" was popular then , and easily applies as a response to the kind of stuff we hear from the NRA leaders and their extreme followers today about America.

While they clearly hate Obama and the democrats, they aren't so happy with Bush and the republicans either. These zealots apparently do not trust the police or the military to protect us . In truth , they seem to view the government as more of a threat to their safety than criminals !

I know they would differentiate between the country and the government , but what is a country if not it's elected government ?

They are no less revolutionaries than the SDS or other radical groups of the 60s and 70s that I witnessed. Those radicals also "loved" the country but "hated" the government. They were attacked as being disloyal by the media and the politicians . Why aren't these right wing radicals treated the same way?
