Why is being liberal so often blasted as being "anti-american?"?

Answer 1

It all comes back to idealogy. Conservatives believe in the individual--individual rights, responsiblities, etc. Liberals look at people as being in groups--with certain rights, responsiblities to the group, etc. Conservatives then, have a different definition of what it means to be an American than a liberal does. A conservative will call a liberal un-American for promoting a social program to help the unemployed. The conservative will say, "They just need to get jobs! They should have gone to college. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!" A liberal will call a conservative un-American for wanting to cut a program that helps unemployed people. They will say, "In America, we don't believe in social Darwinism. We help the weak. It will benefit the good of society if we help the unemployed to gain marketable skills."

Whereas a radical will say, "This is all a question of the haves versus the have-nots. The liberals and conservatives use rhetoric to distract the masses from the real issues--which always come back to power and wealth."

1) Partial-Birth Abortions that Hillary so wanted. And at the same time, her daughter had a baby.

2)America, throughout HISTORY, has played the role of Peace Keeper. Peace keeping, means keeping the wrong "toys" out of the wrong HANDS, such as North Korea, and Iran. The People of Liberal mindset, say,"PEACE IS LETTING THEM BEEEEE!!"

3)NEITHER side want to talk about DIVORCE. Business to BOTH is greater than morality.

4) An*l **x- Doctors tell people that only the female parts are made for S**. The rear is not elastic, and therefore not able to withstand continuous use as the female part is. THIS mindset came from other countries, NOT WITHIN the USA. It came over to the USA mostly after WW1 and WW2.

5)NEITHER side want to talk about marital purity EITHER. The HOME is where the HEART is. If the home is broken, so is the family, and the children.

6)JIMMY CARTER said it. The DEMOCRATS do not address the family values.

7)PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION, and ABORTION, is KILLING. And KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN is NOT A PATRIOTIC VALUE!!

Answer 3

Because the positions the liberals take are often destructive to American Liberty, Security, and Economy, and recently seem to be more geared toward garnering power for a particular party rather than being based on what's True and beneficial for America.

Personally, I don't think they are deliberately anti-american, I just think liberals are simply totally out of touch with reality.

Answer 4

Because Liberal say things that make it dangerous for America. The enemy loves it when they stir up war hate in America it gives them power against us. Also a lot of things that Liberals stand for are what I am most others would consider anti American. Like abortion and more than equal rights for minorities.

Answer 5

Because liberals take every chance they get to bash the president when they should be supporting him. Also, they pick out all the errors and leave out all the progress and good that happens, like the war on terror. I'm not saying you have to agree with everything Bush does, I'm a conservative and I don't -but at least support the U.S and Stop portraying it badly to other countries, it makes us look weak.

Answer 6

Until about two weeks ago, the only time I heard anyone use the term anti-American, it was a liberal asking why they are called anti-American. Two weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh started answer "Because your policies are anti-American".

Answer 7

Most of American are capitalist thinking. Most liberals are socialistic. The two don't get along. Conservatives fell that the liberals are trying to turn us into a communist state.

Answer 8

Because (most) liberals are ridiculously opposed to not working hard to making america a better place. Not that it can be made much better, its already the best country in the world with the republicans in charge.

Answer 9

I do not mind the true liberal who is merely expressing their heartfelt opinions. However when it crosses the line and you use language that gives aid and comfort to the enemy I am going to call you on it. It is wise to remember that those on the right have freedom of speech as well

Answer 10

This has become a catch word for citizens who can actually think and make decisions on their own and do not listen to the party line. The conservatives have become masters at this.
