Why do libs want to live in the USA?

Question

Libs are complaining about everything in the US today from the war to the cost of toilet paper. The say this is not a good country. They liken President Bush to Hitler. They call our government evil. They complain about "stolen" elections. And so on. So, why do they continue to live here if they believe what they preach? Sure they have a right to live here and I am not telling them to leave, but if things are as bad as they say wouldn't they be packing up in hoardes and leaving the US? Why don't they walk the walk rather than talk the talk?? As for me I think the USA is the best place on earth to live!

Bob, I agree but this is a lot more than "a few storm clouds".

Blue Ridge - your answer is to complain about my question?? Surely you can do better than that.

Pink angel - read the question before answering it. You are on the wrong page.

Answer 1

On some level, Liberals realize that, if they were not in the protective cocoon of the United States of America, they'd have little chance of making it elsewhere. Here in Europe, the average Lib whiner would be lucky to work as a clerk in a store, and not just because they are monolingual, undereducated cretins, but because they are irresponsible, lazy, slow-witted, and arrogant.

Libs can complain all they want, but just as Ashley Wilkes told Scarlett O'Hara that his kind was being winnowed out in the new South, Liberals would have little chance of prospering in Europe or elsewhere. It is only in the unique protective environment of the U.S. where even the lazy and the cluess can live comfortably.

Addendum: Aww, Libs. Only 6 thumbs down? If I could just get one more, that would break my all-time record. In this case, I think your overwhelming disapproval is much like the Shakespeare line, "Methinks the lady doth protest too much". (gotcha pegged, don't I?) :)

Answer 2

Same reason you do...I was born here and my family is here and this is where I live. Why should I have to move because someone like you doesn't agree with my opinion? We put up with yours, don't we?

EDIT- There are many of us who "walk the walk, not talk the talk" You don't know me or where I've been at all. Many of us are trying to bring about change through education and the law. I don't just complain. I try to bring about change, unfortunately it's only through one person at a time, but I'm following my heart and doing what I feel I am supposed to be doing.

This administration is horrible, whether elections were "stolen" or not, it happened under suspicious circumstances. I don't liken President Bush to Hitler. I don't call the government evil, I say that it's controlled by large corporations and even you could probably agree that that is a true statement.

Complaining is nothing new to cons. I seem to recall a lot of you complaining when Clinton was in office, did you pack up and move then? You have just as much right to be here and complain as I do. And, for the record, I don't much like Clinton either, he created NAFTA, which YOU probably thought was a good idea but I think it was the beginning of the end.

The USA is my home, and even though there are things I don't like, I am not about to change geographical locations just because things aren't going my way. I learned a long time ago that if I don't like how things are run, to get involved and do something about it.

But...thanks for asking.

Answer 3

John, did you notice that all of your liberal complaints with the country focus around George Bush. Not the actual country itself? Don't you see where the problem is? Are you that thick to the point where you can't see the difference between having a corrupt president and HATING everything America stands for?

Come on man, you can't be THAT dumb. How about this, when the next president is elected as a Democrat and you start whining and complaining about the new president - Will it be an acceptable response for me to tell you to leave the country because you don't like the president? Of course not. Now do you realize how much of retard you look like asking stupid questions like this.

Answer 4

I'm very Conservative myself. But I will say one thing. In many cases GWB has been the most liberal conservative I've seen as far as spending and illegal immigration.
I have supported his actions towards terrorism and tax cuts, but that is about it.
A Dwight D. Eisenhower or Ronald Reagan he is not.

That being said, It isn't the liberals that I hear saying these things. It IS however the secular progressives that say these things. These people liken themselves to folks like Michael Moore, George Soros, Alec Baldwin or Susan Sarandon.

Heck, if liberals left I'd probably never see my mom or dad again for they have always been democrats. I may disagree with many of their views. But that doesn't negate the fact that they are as American as I am.

Answer 5

Many people on both sides seem to mistake government for country. While it may be true that in the past they were somewhat synonymous, I don't think that's ben true in this one since 1776. You see, we have something here that's called a democracy. What that means is that the government will change and evolve according to the will of the people, at least in theory. So it's entirely reasonable to dislike the direction of the nation without disliking the nation itself. In fact, at this point I'd call it responsible citizenship.

Answer 6

The great part about America is that you can participate in the process of making it better. Debate, dissent, and variety in opinion is what makes this process work and continue to improve the country. I would say that if you like the US exactly the way it is now, you should leave, since it is inevitable that it will change (probably for the better).

Plus, sometimes people just like to get on the computer and vent. It's the 21st century stress ball.

Answer 7

Because it's our right. I agree this is a great country. I can't imagine living anywhere else. When I see this country being destroyed from the inside out, you bet I'm going to say something.
Now tell me you aren't a little shocked at the rise in cost of goods and services.
So now you're going to whine about how we answered the question. Ok is this good enough? It's my home. And I have the right.

Answer 8

The US was once the greatest country in the world, founded by great men who you would now probably refer to as bleeding-heart liberals if you bothered to read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They believed in currently unfashionable things like freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom from unlawful search and seizure, and the right to a fair trial. We still believe in their ideals, and even though the country has gotten off track under the current administration, we believe we can get it back on track if people would just wake up and realize how far we are from the origins of this country and how close we are to the world of George Orwell's "1984".

Answer 9

1) because we have a right to live here; we're citizens.

2) because we also have the right to disagree with our government; just as you do.

3) I never likened Bush to Hitler.

4) I did liken him to George Lindsey.

5) I can relocate to Canada any time I like.
I speak fluent French.

Answer 10

let's just say for a minute the 2000 election actually WAS stolen. IF it was, should we just keep quiet? just shut up, everything is as it should be so gas up and go acquire some debt. i believe in questioning authority, especially when it is so questionable like the Bush administration. citizens should demand accountability from their leaders.
i also think the USA is the best place on earth to live. why? because i'm free to think for myself and exercise freedom of speech, among other reasons.

Answer 11

Having a dissenting opinion, John, is one of the core fundamentals of the US.

Unlike your reporting of answers on the Q&A forum when you don't like what's been said, John, we're allowed to say just about anything we want whether we agree or disagree with what's going on.

I love this country, John, same as you. That's why I vote as a Democrat, John. That's why when I kill time here at work, I try to maybe get into someone's thick skull about what's going wrong and what could be better, John.

That's love, John. I care enough to want to make change.

Btw, if your question gets deleted due to insulting people on Q&A, it wasn't me, John.
