why do Liberals hate America so much ?

Question

why do Liberals hate America so much ?

Answer 1

Liberals can't stand American success, prosperity, and most importantly, freedom because they had little if anything to do with it. They want America to be as mediocre as all other countries. They believe that achieving equality is accomplished by spreading out the misery, not by promoting excellence. The more bad news that's out there, the better that liberals feel about themselves.

Answer 2

They don't, they LOVE AMERICA...they HATE WHAT'S HAPPENING TO IT!!!
They hate the selective destruciton of our civil liberties. They hate the hypocrite in OUR White House who cowers behind religious "morals" but starts an illegal war!!
They hate how every citizen does NOT have equal access to rights and protections.
They hate what neo-cons have done to the country they love!!

Answer 3

I'm not sure if they hate America...or hate conservatives....or hate Bush....or hate freedom...or love terrorists....they bounce around too much to be sure. I've got it: they hate conservatives enough to let America be destroyed by terrorists in order to make Bush look bad!

Answer 4

We don't hate America, we just think there is a better way to do things.

Answer 5

"Un-American." This is the most in-vogue conservative jeer these days. It's all the rage to call us "lefties" un-American. Gosh, even one guy misspelled it when trying to insult me on the internet. Sad.

Anyway, back to the point. I am appalled when liberals are called some form of un-American. It's a derogatory term, a word that implies that we hate freedom and justice, which is what our country is SUPPOSED to stand for. Why are we called un-American for wanting freedom and justice, for asking questions, challenging our government, our president? This is what makes America so special. We have the freedom to do these things. Questioning and protesting is not only a choice that we have as an American, it is necessary. When we see evil seeping into our government, poor choices made, lies told, atrocities committed are we supposed to turn a blind eye and say (more or less), "Sieg Heil, President Bush!"? No. Americans (or, really, anyone) SHOULD NOT follow their government blindly. We have a responsibility to keep politicians in check in order to prevent corruption. Objecting the war in Iraq is VERY AMERICAN.

In fact, let me give you a quote by a wonderful American and former U.S. President:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Teddy Roosevelt

Liberals and Democrats have also been accused of Republican bashing. True, we think Bush is the worst president in U.S. History. We make absolutely no secret of it. However, I think you'll find it true for most Democrats that we are very objective on issues. We seek the truth and reject being sheep. We refuse to follow the crowd and we refuse to keep quiet. Democrats, in general, are not afraid to do this. In fact, we object members of our own party quite often, those who keep quiet and play it safe to maintain a kind of neutrality among voters and Republican colleagues. Truth does not mean silence and complacency. Truth means speaking out and learning more about the situation that lies before us. The United States is not the biblical Garden of Eden where the apple is forbidden to us. To not eat from the apple of knowledge is to welcome certain death - the death of a great country.

I'm sorry (actually, I'm not), I cannot turn blind eye to the reality of what we are doing to innocent people in Iraq. We are killing them by the tens of thousands. INNOCENTS. Not terrorists. Not individuals linked to Saddam. Listen to me. INNOCENT men, women, and yes, many, many children. And EVERY DAY this war goes on, we kill hundreds more. Republicans claim we are saving the Iraqi people from terrorism - never mind that it's not the reason we went to war. (And don't try to say that the Gulf War era weapons are the missing WMDs. That will fool some in this country but not us.)

Back on track... Republicans claim we are helping the Iraqi people be free. The truth is, most of them hate our guts. They want us GONE. Just imagine for one moment (please, just TRY) that the fictional country of Saturnia occupied our country, shooting and bombing the United States for the purpose of getting rid of evil baddies in our government. Never mind that we never asked Saturnia to do this. Never mind that we want them to go away. Never mind that they have no current plans to leave.

And, while doing this, Saturnia is killing tens of thousands of Americans left and right with their friendly fire. Even if we had an evil government that also killed innocent Americans, and the claim by Saturnia is that they want to save us from corrupt regime, we would still not find it acceptable to have other innocent Americans killed by Saturnia. We would not put up with our families being expendable. YOU would not put up with your spouse and children being killed in front of you. Even if they were not the intended target, would you be ok with it? Hell, no.

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that this war helps Iraq. I honestly don't see how but let's just say it does. The war is done. Does anyone honestly believe that we will have no more enemies in Iraq? That there won't be successors for each and every bad guy we kill or kidnap? There will be a replacement for every single one we take out of commission. And you better believe they will be taking aggressive aim at the U.S. next. Terrorism will not end once we are gone from Iraq. We will be a huge target for those who hate us, even bigger of a target than we ever have been. It's very likely the U.S. will be in deeper trouble than we ever have been. I love this country and am sad to see what it's become.
