I just want to live in a world where holding a minority opinion doesn't get me the McCarthy-esque label of "un-American." Because, hello, I'm an American. Therefore, the opinions I hold are American. George W. Bush doesn't have a monopoly on defining what it means.
The sad thing is, I'm not sure it's the administration that's causing that state of affairs, though I do believe it is encouraging it. Even an "I disagree with you, and it upsets me, but I still like you" is an improvement on that score. (As in, see above.)
