It seems like you're just assuming that everyone has a very simple, AM radio view of their government.

Things like disliking the political appointees of an institution rather than the institution itself, or disliking parts of an institution rather than the whole, are not difficult distinctions to make. Similarly, I can judge the work output of any institution and my opinion is not likely to be 100% positive or 100% negative.

Which of the ancestors to that comment could have led anyone to believe that?
