Do liberals help this country more than Patriots and why?

You pseudointellectuals out there this is for you.

I want to know what makes liberals so indispensable.

I want to know why they are better than Patriots.

Update:

I chose to use these loaded unequel terms so that I may see if you truly know what they mean and to see your passion in defense of these terms.

Update 2:

I could easily have said liberal versus conservative. But I wanted to see if you would use logic to defend your positions.

    Liberals are only indispensable to themselves and each other. Most normal, rational, persons would tell you that a liberal is muich more dispensable than a Democrat. Certainly they are not better than Patriots, in fact I think its a offense to even mention a Patriot in the same sentence as a _________. Liberals are absolutely

    non-patriots, they are a embarrassment to this country and I say we ship them to the country of choice where they are constantly wanting to save something, somebody or get behind some cause that has nothing to do with the US

    Why do you seem to think that liberals and patriots are different. You really need to start looking past labels and see the real reasons behind peoples actions. You try to make it sound like someone with a liberal viewpoint cannot love this country. You probably think that I am liberal right now, but I bet some of my view points would surprise you. If you enjoy your freedom of speech so much maybe you should think about this. When ever any change occurred in history the people making the changes were the radicals or the liberals the people who tried to keep things the same were the conservatives. If there was never change societies would wither and die. The world changes every moment of everyday. If people are not willing to change and adapt to an ever changing world then they are doomed to perish at the hands of those who embrace the change. If our country is to survive then it needs to grow and change with the rest of the world and not try to stagnate in one moment in history. Oh and by the way the patriots of Germany during the second world war killed millions, the patriots to the confederate states of America owned slaves, the patriots to the peoples republic of china ran over people with tanks. You really need to take a step back from your frustrations and look at the real world instead of seeing through a fogged lens.

    Liberals keep Conservatives in check and vice-versa.

    Patriots are not a political afiliation and if you are distinguishing Liberals as unpatriotic and Conservatives as patriotic, you are ignorant.

    You don't want society to move too fast but you don't want to to move too slow. Liberals want everything now and Conservatives don't want anything at all. Look at social issues like gay marriage to understand what I'm talking about.

    Also, the conservative party, or Republican party is mainly capitalist - every man for himself, more money for me - in a nutshell. Take polution for example. Capitalists are more interested in running their businesses. Liberals keep these businesses in check with the environment making sure that there are regulations regarding the output of toxic fumes and gases from factories and power plants for example.

    Liberals and Conservatives alike are Patriots. They both care for the well-being of our country. They just have different ideas and their opposing viewpoints keep eachother in check and create a common ground.

    ...Ibz... lemme guess.... White, christian, heterosexual, upper-middle class male?

    I'm not sure why you distinguish liberals from conservatives by using the term "patriots." Neither liberals nor conservatives have a monopoly on patriotism, and I think that the ability to choose one's ideology is one of those factors that makes this country great.

    Oh, yea. The true "patriots" out there are blowing the covers of CIA operatives. I suggest you read about other liberals like Thomas Jefferson and Benjeman Franklin
