Criticism of the U.S. equals treason
I've been told that this website is too rabidly pro-American, and there are certainly some contributors of the 'Love it or leave it" persuasion, but what they have to say is mild compared to The Futurist: Who Hates America?. I came across this when looking for a survey I was told about that had more Americans than Europeans doubting capitalism. I need to write to the very reputable person who told me about this to get a link, because I've just been led down too many rabbit holes in the search. Here's a little from this cuddly blogger:
In the US itself, 17% view their country negatively. I have claimed earlier that 8-10% of the US population comprises of active or semi-active fifth-columnists, who seek to undermine American strength and security, yet cannot bring themselves to openly admit this deeply held belief, nor move to another country. This survey appears to offer further evidence of this fifth column.
I didn't realize that to some, a project like this makes us "fifth columnists." Good grief, I didn't even know that term was still used. I associate it with Agatha Christie novels and Cold War spy thrillers.

er... Do you deny that 10% of the US population believes the US is evil? The survey even says that 17% of the US population views America negatively, of which that author still excuses half of those.
That you have to lie, i.e. state that criticism of the US = treason, which is not what that blog wrote, proves you to be someone who suspends inconvenient facts quite often.
