"Plenty of good patriotic Americans consider themselves liberals without (as many on the right seem to believe) hating America and undermining the Constitution,"
"Plenty of good patriotic Americans consider themselves conservatives without (as many on the left seem to believe) having hate or bigotry in their heart toward those who are different."

This is not a counter-argument to the statement above, just paranoid insinuation.
