Heartfelt Question - What is the TRUE reason that everyday people think libs are "bashing" America?

Question

It seems to me that the Paranoia level among small-town types is raising at an alarming rate.

They quickly dismiss all anti-war efforts as "soldier hating terrorism".

They also run off at the mouth about "democrat congress" running America "into the ground" (while ignoring the fact that half of congress is Republican).

There is so much wild animosity and fear of "liberals" that the word has become a dirty pejorative...

The 10 points will go to the very best and "truest" answer.

Answer 1

They are so in love with the concept of what we are trying to accomplish in the middle east that they are willing to alienate anyone who disagrees with them. (Even though almost 2/3 of registered voters are against the war now).

Answer 2

Facts are facts, first half of congress is not republican, the Democrats have had a majority since Jan 07.

Now ask them why they are over a month late on ALL the spending bills. I can understand some of them being late but all of them?

Now their anti war efforts so far have consisted of giving up on any attempt of helping 25 million people find freedom. Even now with all indications showing that we might actually turn Iraq around they still want to announce to the enemy on which day we will give up and surrender.

I for one am glad the french didn't give up on our freedom back in the 1700's.

And the only fear of liberals is that they will have UN troops patrolling our streets "protecting" us .

Answer 3

It's all a matter of perception.

Some people see and hear only what they want to see and hear.

These people have preemptively (what is it with rightwingers and premeption?) dismissed opposing viewpoints as "America bashing" by setting the parameters and framing the debate in which only their ideas can be heard. They also twist the opposing argument way out of its original context in order to create a "straw man" that makes it easier to slander and beat upon instead of directly criticizing the argument at hand. Basically, if it does not fit ino their "black & white" mentality, it is not worth discussing.

Many of these rabid conservatives rely up their twisted logical fallacies, red herrings, and guilt-by-association tactics to make their otherwise unreasonable and sometimes dangerous knee-jerk responses more appealing to the impressionable, sheepish masses.

Answer 4

By libs I assume you mean the Democrats. Well that's easy.
Since the second world war the Democrats have a long record of supporting America's enemies. They tried everything they could to lose to the Soviet Union and now they want to lose to Al Qaeda.
The Democrats are not Liberal at all, why do people call them liberal? Democrats are classic neo-marxists and the scum of the earth communists, no wonder they are traitors.

Answer 5

Yea, where would ANYONE ever get the silly notion that liberals bash the USA and our troops?! You can see how their deep Patriotism really shines through when they speak:

"Don't know Jack" Murtha: "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.”

Hanoi John Kerry: "You make an effort to be smart you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.”

Dingy Harry Reid: “That this war is lost, and that the surge is not accomplishing anything.”

Ted "the swimmer" Kenedy: "We now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management"

Tricky Dick Durbin: “If I read this to you and didn't tell you it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have happened by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime, Pol Pot or others that had no concern for human beings.”

B.Hussein Obama: "We’ve got to get the job done there, and that requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages and killing civilians"

Answer 6

The "true answer" is "Because the libs are bashing
America". They seem to like Chavez and Castro better
than George Bush. They want to let the enemy win the
war by surrendering. They want to issue driver's licenses
and government hand-outs to illegals. They are ready to
vote for the tax and spend party (Democrats). They will
even vote for a Muslim to run America. They accuse our
own government for 911, the floods in New Orleans, and
the fires in California. Isn't this enough proof that they are
indeed bashing America? What else could you call it?

Answer 7

Because libs are. Liberal want to destroy everything that made this country great. They want to get rid of religious institutions, take away guns, abolish our borders, and tax businesses into the ground. If libs had control of the country, we would all be dead.

Answer 8

liberals seem to want more domestic (hand outs) programs. Conservatives know that the more you hand to a person, the more they rely upon hand outs.
