By Ryan Hiles —
“Love it or leave it”. It’s strange how 5 words can so effectively encapsulate how a very significant portion of our nation’s populace feels about, well, our nation. And, on its face, I get it. It’s not an outwardly ridiculous concept that we should appreciate the privileges afforded to us by this country, privileges that aren’t necessarily guaranteed in other parts of the world. I just also happen to believe that “love it or leave it” is a specious, frustrating, red-herring, even harmful argument.
