I asked you about a specific post
Yes, you did - a post on which I hadn't commented, nor had you in the post to which I had replied, and whose introduction by you therefore seemed an act of deflection.
Be that as it may, I gave a response that encompasses my view of the particular post of
@BeardedVol in question. Reading it in the context of the portion of his posting history with which I'm familiar, I do believe the post of his you cited is in fact "just the post of a man that wants to see his country do better" (even if I myself might express similar concerns differently).
I certainly think it absurd to read what he wrote as "open hatred of America," and I continue to object to the equation of holding our country to a higher standard with "open hatred of America." "Whom the Lord loveth," writes the Apostle, "he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." So too, I believe, must we love that which He has entrusted to our care.
My meaning is/was fully evident.
If it were, your clarification here:
Democrats (such as the one I quoted) will consistently speak about how horrific they find America to be, while acting like they have no clue why some accuse them of being openly anti-American. The post I referenced was an obvious example of that.
would resemble the post it was intended to clarify. Instead, it makes a quite different claim - you've gone from charging Democrats generally with "open hatred of America" for "taking something that’s universal and pretending it’s somehow an American problem" to observing (?) that Democrats act "like they have no clue why some accuse them of being openly anti-American" when they "will consistently speak about how horrific they find America to be."
