So! What is it the liberals hate about America so much?

They were in favor of ending segregations. They support gay rights, gay marriage, and freedom of speech. They believe in the words "separation of church and state." They support a woman's right to choose. They are in favor of keeping our streets safer with gun control. They want us to come up with alternative energy so our children won't get asthma from breathing coal dust. They aren't in favor of rich people getting all the tax cuts. They aren't in favor of poor people sending their kids to war because the rich want to monopolize all the world's oil. They believe there are enough pressing issues on our own streets like broken levees, deteriorating bridges, busted sewer lines, and outdated power lines. They support the improvement of the public schools. They support a universal health care plan so everyone can be covered. Obviously, the insurance companies only care about making money. I doubt most CEO's want to spend the money, nonetheless. So what is so un-American about all these philosophies? Would you rather we live in a country like Iran where religion runs everything? That way women would have no rights; they'd all be forced to wear burqas; and people would be stoned to death for being gay. Please explain to me why so many think liberals hate America? Just because liberals don't support a war, does that make them unpatriotic?

Update:

Mr. Ocean, do you mean the same neo-Cons that still think Barack Obama is Muslim and born in Kenya? Or do you mean the ones who jumped all over him for deficit spending, but looked the other way when Bush did the same? Or are you referring to the ones who blame the whole economic recession in Clinton?

Update 2:

I never reached the conclusion liberals hate America. I'm liberal, and I don't hate freedom. If we hated freedom, as some conservatives suggest, then we'd be at war with the Dutch right now accusing them of being Communists, terrorists, or whatever the new public fear is.

    I hate republicans who say things like liberals don't have a job, when the teacher who teachs their kids is a liberal. The librarian that helps them find an answer to their problem or the right book or help on a computer is a liberal working in what they hate which is a government or as they call it socialist job. I hate that they don't know what the word socialist means but throw it around so much they have given it a new meaning. I hate that they are hypocrits & scream about Clinton but ignore the things that Palin has done. I hate that they don't even see the stories that everyone else sees. So they don't know she had to get an assistant when she was elected Gov. of Alaska cause she had no idea how to do anything. Here is a site that shows a little about what libs do & there is much more but the only thing reps. have accomplished is to destroy lives.http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Thank_a_liberal

    Some of them think that America's founding was flawed. The thought of the United states having slavery, killing the indigenous peoples, and exploiting the resources gives them that idea. They say the Constitution was written by slave owners, but fail to see that it now applies to all people regardless of the group they claim.

    We're not the ones planning protests for the fourth of July. That's the same as flipping off Uncle Sam.

    Liberals hate America? Who are the loonies who refused to equip troops with body armor when they were sent to Iraq? Who created all kinds of false evidence and lies to convince the world to help them invade a country that wasn't attacking or threatening anyone outside its borders?

    I am a liberal and I do not hate America at all. I love America just as much as other patriots do.

    Don't pay too much attention to what the conservatives say. They have a tendancy to try to project their own pathetic shortcomings and inadequacies onto others.

    You know what I hate about America? The electoral college, broken healthcare system, rednecks running rampant with military grade weapons, the fact that we are addicted to oil, etc. etc. But most importantly, I hate the Republicans that like to piss on our founding values.

    I don't know what they think about America.

    But they are interested in maintaining the system as it is, so that, like you, they can feel indignant and morally superior, imagining that by giving handouts to the poor, they are actually doing something substantive.

    Instead, they really want their privileges, including the privilege of easing their guilt and justifying their indignation by doing "good deeds for those less fortunate"--whom they maintain as less fortunate so that they can continue to give them things to assuage their guilt and support their sense of moral superiority.

    Ultimately, liberals support the status quo.
