Well, if W has an enemies list, I wanna be on it, too. You call W a mental midget, I call him a sociopath. There's no other rational explanation for W's actions and attitudes other than something seriously wrong with his so-called brain - be it stupidity, pre-senile dementia, or emotional illness.
But W is just a puppet, anyhow. Other players behind the scenes have taken advantage of W's stupidity and/or pathology and use him for their own ends. The rest of us turn a blind eye, wave our flags (burning or no), demand that English Only become a state sanctioned holy sacrament, and burn at the stake anyone who says the word "evolution" in the presence of a child aged 5 - 18.
We soothe ourself to sleep at night by mouthing the words of "America the beautiful" to ourselves and recite the Bill of Rights like a priest chanting latin invocations to ward off evil spirits. Latin is a dead language, and the Bill of Rights is dying of gangrene. At least Latin has the advantage of being useful to pre-med students. Might as well burn the Bill of Rights along with your flag. Its a dreary, shameful period in US history, and I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel as anything but an on-rushing train.
