I don't know how widespread that idea really is. Most of the flesh and blood people i know hold to their beliefs (on either side) for good reasons. They don't blindly support war because their president said so any more than they are opposed to war because Martin Sheen said so.

I've never heard anyone called "unpatriotic" for disagreeing with Bush. I've never heard anyone say that blind obiescence to the president is one of the obligations of being a good american.

Truth is, the only place I hear these things is from the people claiming that they are being repressed. It seems like a defense against an attack that was never, or very seldom, made.
