The Founding Fathers were liberals, I'm sorry guys but in their time they were incredibly "progressive" and forward thinking. Ben Franklin was an international traveler who particularly liked the French. Thomas Jefferson believed that governments should be over thrown at least once a century to have the best possible government. Sam Adams was a drunk and protested all the time. Infact, the entire Second Continental Congress were all liberals, and all about protesting their government. Not to mention the Bill of Rights, mostly importantly freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Liberals uphold all of these things, so what exactly is it that makes us so unpatriotic? The fact that we don't think that all Muslims are terrorists? The fact that we think health care should be under "the pursuit of happiness?" The fact that we don't want the government to screen our calls and read our e-mails??? All of these things are VERY American and VERY patriotic. So what's the deal?
