I don't like to catagorize any group of people but have notices that some groups who cliam to be Liberals don't seem to have patriotisms in the USA like conservative groups. Why? And am I wrong?

    Cindy, a "true" liberal would not support the military. Because a liberal believes that if you get rid of guns everyone can live peacefully. With that being said there are moderate liberals who believe some of the liberal rhetoric, but have enough common sense to understand that if you get rid of your guns, another country with guns will take over. These liberals normally appreciate the military and many even serve. There are many patriotic liberals. You are probably thing the far left (extreme liberal) and who knows what they think?

    seem up the word 'battling a constrained warfare'. the actually warfare itself replaced into gained in a be counted of a few days, as Saddam's authorities replaced into bumped off. what is going on now is more advantageous of a civil warfare as different religious factions kill more advantageous of one yet another, than US infantrymen. the days of uncomplicated guns for the insurgents is over as different international locations like Iran are providing guns. i do not believe the way issues are being dealt with, yet your statements do no longer reflect a lot reality. i think you merely don't love the U. S. like many in this web site.

    yes they do, its just like any extremes though.. some people hate the military, but most people do support the troops which no matter what war we are in i believe is the key to the USA... why do liberals hate the military? because its taking money away from social programs like welfare and food stamps, which in turn those "liberals" ain't liberals but socialists.

    I've never seen or met a self proclaimed liberal support them. Only seen them verbal assault them or spit on them in real life. All the conservatives and moderates seem to support them though.

    I can't speak for liberals, but as an independent who opposes the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc etc etc I support our military no matter what; it is our idiotic Congress I do not appreciate.
