Liberal Whine Fest

You sound like a 12 year old, just ripe for the pickin' by Granpa Zinn.

When you grow up you will realize that you can put the history of any country under the microscope and you will come up with as bad or worse than the United States.

You are right, it is a ridiculous question, and it's equally ridiculous to hate the United States for no apparent reason other than that it's currently trendy to do so.

I think in Obama's case that would be "speak softly and carry a lapdog."

heheh I"m from Canada, eh, and I find it hilarious how BOTH darogr & aclark show the worst side of America. The one shouting we're number 1, and the other just can't help but tear him down and say how crappy the US is....I've lived next door to you guys for over 40 years and I LOVE THE USA!!!!! But we canadians are a modest people, so when yanks shout 'we're the best country in the world" we roll our collective eyes a bit. But by the same token, that LOVE OF COUNTRY is one of things we admire about you. We love Canada, but you don't see people tearing up over the national anthem at a hockey game (unless it's the olympics of course). We dig that about you. We also know that to many people all over the globe, the only escape, the only shining light in the world, is to make it to the US and carve out a life for themselves and live the american dream - whether that's an antiquated notion to some, it still holds true all over the world. as a side bar, i found this film self-indulgent nonsense, gah, it was insufferable!!

I'm not saying I want every American to be ignorant to the problems in this country. I'm saying as an American you should be proud of your country and know that this is this best, not perfect but the best. I'd like to know what country you think is the best. I wrote in my previous post that I understand that that's nothing more than an opinion and right now I'm asking for your opinion. As far as "progress" being a dirty word I think the problem is that people on the left don't want to promote progress they want to promote a complete and total social change. That's a bit of a cliché with the current administration but it's true. Just look up Obama's mentor Saul Alinsky and see what his idea of progress was. I've spoken to friends of mine who are liberal and I've read many of the posts on here and I don't think these people love their country. The question becomes can you still call this the same country if you change the entire social structure of it? I really resent your comments that the right is full of ignorant racists. That's a common defense from the left, when you can't prove them wrong just call them racist or say they're fearmongerers and vilify their opinions. Do you have any opinions of your own or are you just another liberal puppet without the ability of free thought? You people are told how to think and how to act. I can see it is your comments, it sounds just like every other lefty on these boards. By the way I never insulted you so you can stop with the name calling.

"P.S. Keep dreaming about next year. I know you brain-dead FOX news watching CONServatives like to pretend that you are going to win something, but with your 21% approval rating I doubt it. Lying has become so second natured for Republicans that now they are lying to themselves. So far this year Democrats have won three Congressional races to the GOP's one (even though two districts were held by Republicans and two by Democrats when the elections were called, thus meaning you actually lost one). But, nevertheless, I will enjoy watching your whole world fall apart when Democrats hold on to their majorities."

I think it is safe to say you "jackbourassa" were completely wrong. Democrats did not hold their majorities in Congress, they got trounced and thrown the hell out in historical numbers. Republicans now control The House with a huge majority due to voters voicing their dissatisfaction with this current administration. Democrats lost Senate seats too but managed to keep a very small majority due to some awful Republican candidates. The American people on Nov2 showed they do not like Obama's/Pelosi's far left liberal ideals and what they are trying to do to this country and are not at all happy with the little that they have accomplished. You can bash Fox, the tea party, and conservatives all you want but they have informed and listened to the American people and kept Obama and Pelosi and the liberal media in check from getting away with what they want and totally ruining this country and following failed socialist policies of Europe which is in even a bigger mess then the US.

I also completely agree with the title of this thread. I saw part of this liberal propaganda drivel and could not believe how biased and pathetic it was and all these rich hypocritical liberal actors who feel a little guilty about being paid and pampered so much had the nerve to come out and do this. They need to get out of their elitist rich social circles of New York and Los Angeles and realize most of the country is pretty conservative and proud of their country and do not agree with them or their silly liberal America hating lets totally change it agenda.
