Defending America = defending capitalism = doing whatever they can to make American, capitalist companies more profitable. I don’t hate capitalism. Don’t get me wrong, but I generally don’t like capitalists.

Christians drive you up a wall because of their beliefs not because of their religion. This is not the same as hating capitalists but not capitalism.
