And why are they getting abortions left and right, corrupting our youth, and taxing us more than 50 Iraqs could ever cost us?

Sorry, I forgot to say, "dripping with sarcasm." I felt the urge to ask a pro-Bush, asinine question.

Don't worry--this will probably be reported by the Thought Police anyway.

I see you found out it's difficult to satire something that's completely ridiculous on it's own accord...
what's sad is... people can't tell the difference between satire and actual conservative views on here... that's a sign of how bad it's gotten...

That's 0 for 4 as to your assumptions. But I'll answer on their behalf.
First, they don't hate one nation. Many don't like the "under God" part (added in the 1950s) because not everyone in the US agrees there is a god, or just one god, so adding that to the pledge is promoting one religious belief over others, which is unconstitutional.
Second, look at the statistics. Abortions are granted pretty much equally regardless of party lines. But you did cover that in your "left and right", so I'll give you half credit.
Liberals don't corrupt our youth. At worst, they allow other people to corrupt our your, because the alternative is govt-sponsored mind control and censorship. And they'd rather leave it up to the parents than hand it over to the govt.
And at 12 billion a month, 50x that would be 7 trillion a year. Do the math. Nowhere close.

Your questions contain misstatements of fact and distortions that are typical of the neocons. Liberals do not unilaterally hate the excerpt you quote from the Pledge of Allegiance. If there is an objection, then it is to the God reference, which appears to be antithetic to the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States in the sense that a person who is an Athiest (and therefore is exercising religious freedom to not believe in God) is forced to make a statement that he/she does not believe. However, this does not mean that all liberals object to the inclusion of the word. Most probably do not and this one doesn't. In addition, please provide the statisical evidence that liberals are getting abortions "left and right". I do not believe you. While many people in this country do get abortions, it would not surprise me at all if a healthy percentage are neoncons, whose mantra is to talk a good game, but to be nowhere to found when push comes to shove. You don't have to look very far to find hypocrite neocons. And finally, since the liberals are not in power - they don't have the votes in Congress to override vetoes - they are not taxing anybody more than 50 Iraqs will cost us. Also, it is estimated that Iraq will wind up costing the country 1 trillion dollars. The liberals have never pushed a 50 trillion dollar tax on anybody, but the neocons are doing exactly that by running up a huge debt that will have to be paid for by future generations - if it doesn't outright bankrupt the country first.

I guess most liberals feel that not all Americans believe in God. I am a liberal that does and I like the under God reference.
Getting abortions left and right? Abortions have gone down a lot in the past few years.
Corrupting our youth? this is such a right wing wacko statement. how are we corrupting our youth, by telling them to take care of the environment, Don't' attack nations that are no threat to us. Make sure all people are treated equally, make sure that you liberties are protected.
And tax us more than 50 Iraq's? Unless you are part of the 1% that received bush's tax cut, you would have received more money under Gore's plan and the country would not be in the terrible state it is in.
Stop drinking the cool aid.

Well -- it is, dumdum (?) -- hmmm
I am a liberal -- and this "hate" statement here is extreme NEWS to me !! I happen to not only LOVE this country, but have fought for it in combat, headed veterans organizations, lead political action committees for the "liberty and justice for all" movements ---so--- this view you have here of liberals must be coming straight out of your own personal "vision" of what liberals are -- as opposed to what liberals ARE !!!
And, if you check the stats here, dum girl, it is not just liberals that are getting the abortions in this country -- a great number of abortions are being done for a great number of "conservatives" that have a "change of view" when it is THEIR thirteen year old daughter who is pregnant !!!
The corruption of OUR youth is something that you can lay at the door of the liberals --- because -- like so many other problems that exist -- you conservatives don't see yourselves as being involved in any way WITH the problems -- and THAT'S one of the main problems !!!
And, at some trillion dollars now and counting -- when YOUR president said some three years ago that this "THING" in Iraq would NEVER run over 80 Billion ---- you better set a pen to your figures on the --- TAX AND IRAQ "THING" you mentioned --- 50 Trillion dollars is an awful lot of taxes for the "liberals" to be putting on YOU ---- seeing that until this past Fall --- the Republicans had FULL control of the government for almost six full years and saw fit to run up a national debt to record numbers -- tallying out at something very near 13 Trillion as we speak --- Now---- whose gonna be "taxing you" to pay for all THAT ???
Great Screen Name here though
at least there is SOME truth to be found in this post !!!!!!!!

Absolutly not! we are never one u . s . a ., and definitly not indivisible. not only is our u . s . a . torn aside on all styles of themes, the entire international disagrees with eachother. A u . s . a . of oneness might help their fellow electorate via solid situations and undesirable, not only whilst the going gets tough, and then only till we ignore suitable to the folk in want. we are actually not allowed by ability of the yank government to be under God anymore. (under any circumstances) as a good distance via fact the liberty and Justice section is going, i've got faith which you have greater freedoms in case you weren't born interior the U.S. as unfavorable to being a organic born citizen. i think of your question replaced into replied till now you even published it!

I have a better question -- why do some conservatives -and- some liberals stereotype and exaggerate?
NOT everyone who's liberal is getting abortions.
How is anyone corrupting our youth except people who aren't letting them choose things for themselves in an informed way? (gangs, those who demonize certain behaviors, etc). And Iraq is costing us 3 billion per month.... that's where the taxes are coming from.
Oh, and one nation under God is a pledge someone made up..... FREEDOM of RELIGEON is a RIGHT under the CONSTITUTION that GOVERNS us. Separation of church and state instead of merging of them, anyone? We don't need to be puritanical any more than we need to be evil.
Oh, and another question... is it any wonder why you're using the nickname "dum dum"?

Beware comment riddled with sarcasm.........looks like you get what you ask for and hate is such a harsh word. How about we dislike stupidity and do our best every day to educate the less fortunate who ask sarcastic biased questions by digging for a wanted response they will never receive. We are a higher breed of the human species and therefore it is our duty to educate our lacking brothers. Best wishes.

I loathe Bush, but I also do not like that the liberals want one nation, under the UN, very divisible, with a total lack of freedom or justice for all. But, I must admit I am in favor of liberals being able to choose abortions.
