Who Said " You Can't Love Your Country , But Hate Your Government " ?

Question

That was in fact.. . .Bill Clinton, a Democrat .

So how does that coincide with the current hatred of our government / President Bush and their claims that they still Love their country ?

Will Liberal Hatred For The President Stop Now or will Bill Clinton Get As Much Hate Mail as We Patriotic Conservatives ?

Answer 1

just goes to show the typical hypocrisy of the left and the proof is in the responses you are getting

Answer 2

Clinton did what most democrats and liberals do, say what they think sounds good, and what others like them want to hear. They feed off each other's lies and use them to say, "See there!" They don't stop to think how ignorant they sound. Double talk. Sienfeld mentality.

My favorite liberal quote is from a y!a member when the subject of abortion was brought up.

"Liberals are not for killing the unborn child. Liberals are for the mother deciding if she carries the child to term."

What is the difference between the two? The child is killed. Life is extinquished. They never think that they could have just murdered the person who would discover a cure for aids, cancer or the common cold. Or maybe a great writer or singer.

Answer 3

Just because one person said it that doesn't make it true. Bill Clinton said a lot of things I don't agree with. I think it is unpatriotic to not question your government when you think it is not doing what it is supposed to do. Men and Women have died to give us the right to question our government, one quote from one president does not negate that.
I love my country, I disagree with some governmental decisions...when you follow your government blindly you set yourself up for a totalitarian regime.

Answer 4

"Hate" is a very strong word. I think Clinton meant that to "hate" as in an extremist sense to the point of overthrowing a government. It doesn't mean those who dislike policies are un-American or unpatriotic. I get your jest, and I disagree with the degree in which you have used the quote. Blind loyalty is also foolhardy and dangerous. It usually leads to blind ambition and blind arrogance.

Answer 5

I think that hatred is something that's projected by those from the shallow end of the gene pool. It's OK to disagree but still respect. It's not OK to base hatred on something like a different opinion.

Answer 6

Yikes!!!!

No mind. The libs will still find some way to try and back out of this one.
Even when you make a real and valid point that can be backed up. They start trumpeting about some other irrelevant crap.

Answer 7

In today's Lesson. Watch Earnest T, teach the Students, about connecting the dots. And furthering their Education. Into the World of Conservatism! Thumbs up, Chief!

Answer 8

I hate our government, it lies, steals, murders,is corrupt, and it abuses its own citizens. It lies to start wars, Bush is a War Criminal, he has committed heinous crimes against his own countrymen.Clinton sucked too, I see our country collapsing, our country has crested and is now declining at a rapid rate. Babylon the Great is fallen.

Answer 9

"A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right."

"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."

Answer 10

I don't hate my government, I have a problem with the fringe minority that still wants to rubber stamp Bush policy. I am VERY grateful for the balance that has been restored to government, since the dems took control of congress. Also, I don't even hate the GOP, just the people representing it over the last couple years. BTW, do you have that quote in context? I would love to read the whole thing
