Anti-Patriotic

"All professions worthy of the name have the concept of malpractice, not due to intent, but due to inability. It can be caused by lack of aptitude, substance abuse, ignorance which is willful, etc. We don't have a good word, at least in English, for malpractice in citizenship. The closest we can come is, as John McCain said recently, that he was not questioning Barack Obama's patriotism, but his judgment and competence. (I have no doubt that by today's standard, even Benedict Arnold would be defended as simply expressing a dissenting opinion.) We really need a word meaning mal-citizenship. Somewhat paraphrasing the late Sir Arthur C. Clarke, sufficient partisanship or willful ignorance is functionally indistinguishable from treason."
