When bin Laden disappeared, and Iraq suddenly became the boogeyman, that's when he lost me shortly after, and he's lost a majority of Americans slowly since then.

Instead of backing the country in a time of war, they make up reasons why America is to blame. So they trot out their conspiracies and them insist they are intellectuals.
