Why do conservatives hate America?

America is the most advanced country in the world. This is the country that put a man on the moon, cured polio, built the internet, invented thousands of devices that make modern life.

Why, then, do they think American is destined to fail if we try to implement any form of national health care? Even if it has problems it other countries, why do they think we can't do better?

Do they really think American can't do better than countries like Canada, Britain, Germany or even their favorite country to hate, France?

Why do they have so little faith in American exceptionalism?

Why do they hate America?

Update:

Chad: Of course I'm being dramatic. I don't seriously believe conservatives hate America; I'm parodying the rhetoric from consservatives who equate "takes a non-conservative view" with "hating America".

    Why, you really made a big stretch from National Health Care to hating America. So I will say, that it is not the conservatives that hate America for opposing it, but liberals for trying to implement it. They want the government to pay for killing children in abortions as a part of the national health care argument too. I believe that liberals hate America so much because they can't think for themselves and have listened to the communist too long!

    it may have to do with the lobbies that sponsor the conservatives. it is possible that it has something to do with those pharmaceutical companies and companies that provide health insurance..... I'm not suggesting anything... but it may be so... or, of course it may be as you suggested.. it's possible they simply hate America...

    why do you hate this wonderful country so much? why? why?

    For the same reason that Christians hate Muslims etc, its called Brainwashing.

    These Neofascist in this country actually think they are "patriotic" and believe they are right.

    Sadly they could not be more wrong but when you have been indoctrinated into this religious/political insanity then facts are thrown right out the window, they have "faith" in nutbags like Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, all of Faux News and what ever lies they tell is what they are going to believe regardless how insane it is.

    Conservatives are concerned that government wishes to intrude upon every aspect of their lives.

    Ironically, the military is a government sponsored program too, and one never hears criticism from conservatives about the inadequacy of our military because it is managed by the government.

    Conservatives have refused to recognize the health care crisis, and, when there is a void in leadership, the opposition is going to step in!

    So because I choose to keep my freedom and keep a government that respects those freedoms, I hate America? Well as a Veteran who dealt with the Government run health care, I would say anyone who wants government run health care is the one who hate America or are too much of a liability and should leave anyway.

    Arthur, you are being a little dramatic. Our health care system is the envy of the world. When a person of means is sick anywhere in the world, the place they want to go to for care is the good ol U.S.A. Why? Because we have the best doctors, equipment, and facilities that money can buy. All of those advances you named...the result of a free market economy.

    I think you have it backwards, but you know that's normal for a liberal. We don't want socialized medicine because we feel it is the first step down a slippery slope we wish to avoid. We do not agree with all of the entitlements including socialized medicine.

    I love America. That's why I think taxing me into oblivion to pay for your healthcare is against what the founding fathers intended.
