Why do Liberals always side AGAINST the U.S. in International Disputes?

Question

Well lets see: Clinton ignored Al Qaida, they grew in strength. They handed N. Korea nuclear reactors, now they built nukes under his nose. Looks like his hide head in sand policy didn't work.

You blowholes ALWAYS side against the US.

Drop dead *******.

Answer 1

You really need to read the essay on the "Pathology of the Left" by Mark Alexander:

"Generally, liberals tend to be mentally rigid and closed-minded because they are insecure, the result of low self-esteem associated, predominantly, with fatherless households or critically dysfunctional families in which they were not adequately affirmed. (For Leftist over-achievers like Bill Clinton, see narcissistic boderline personality disorder.) They exhibit fear, anger, and aggression -- the behavioral consequences of arrested emotional development associated with childhood trauma (primarily rejection by a significant family member of origin as noted above). Liberals display pessimism, disgust, and contempt for much the same reason. They focus on loss prevention because they have suffered significant loss. They fear death because they have little or no meaningful connection with their Heavenly Father -- often the result of the disconnect with their earthly fathers. They often come from socially and/or economically deprived homes, but those who are inheritance-welfare trust-babies (see Kennedy, et al.) manifest similar expectations about being helpless without external sustenance. Liberals reject individual responsibility and social stability because these were not modeled for them as children -- the generational implications of pathology."

Answer 2

There are many people who feel that America's foreign policy is wrong. It would be nice if we could all be united in our goals and desires, but it defies the nature of the human condition. No matter what one of the founding principle of the United States is the right to free speech and free expression. So while I do not agree with many people for whom it is okay to denigrate the country on the world stage. I do support their absolute right to do so.

The questions should really be why can't we agree to disagree? I say this all the time on Yahoo Answers. The problem is not that we don't agree on the issues, the problem is that we cannot respect the opinions of others when we don't agree. As evidence I present 3 of 4 posts below mine. If you don't agree with their position then you are either a liar, in denial, or you can't think for yourself. I am not excusing Conservatives posters in this either, because their rhetoric is just as nasty. Ideas are a wonderful thing, everyone has something to bring to the table, and they should contribute and share. However, insults serve no ones purpose, and add nothing positive to the discussion. I would have you all remember that insults are the last refuge of the purely average mind.

Answer 3

I'm not sure that they do. However, the U. S. has a reputation (deserved or not) as using it's political power to promote it's own interest in world affairs instead of those of the people who are affected by whatever disputes you are citing. Are the Israeli's 100% right? No. Are the Arab's 100% wrong? No. The answers lie somewhere in between. But when you ally yourself with one side you take on all aspects of their side right or wrong. Therefore it is up to those of dissenting opinions in a free society to criticize such choices. This helps keep our arguments centered and prevents us from going down the path of dogmatic or tyrannical practices. It becomes very easy in a state with one voice to begin to fall in lock step with those in power. The Soviets, Chinese, Cuban and The Germans before them know this. That's why they become closed societies in the first place.

Answer 4

Why all of a sudden do pond scum repuke's claim to desent is unpatriotic. It didn't stop them during the Clinton administration. They bitched worse than an ex-wife for the entire 8 years. Hey here is a clue, we went into Iraq on a big fat repuglican lie.

Answer 5

I don't think they're going against the U.S. I think they are going against the conservative administration. I think if we had a liberal administration, you'd see the conservatives doing the same thing.

It's a democracy. We're supposed to argue a lot. Unity in international affairs is a characteristic of dictatorships.

Answer 6

Don't know but everyone needs to wake up and realize that we are one country and stop all the bullsheit.. I mean we are all pretty much here for the same purpose.

Oh the real answer is probably because there is money involved.

Answer 7

Not true. Unlike those who support your question, Liberals can think for themselves. If the GOP says we should support their ignorance all Liberals are asking is... Why? If that is a sign to you as AGAINST then you have already given up your freedom...

Answer 8

Umm, maybe because the Republicans are in power and the only thing the liberals can do is oppose them?

Answer 9

Not always although it may seem that way of late, that can be attributed to Duh-bya's complete and utter incompetence in foreign affairs.

Answer 10

by accusing Christians of all hating gays and wanting women human beings to be misserable. accusing whites of being racist. and the wealthy of being grasping. I discovered in the LIBERAL college that you statements dont accomplish something. take a dose your own meds.
