Why is my statement wrong? It's liberals who snivel at people who are outwardly patriotic. And it's liberals that are always obsessed with changing the country -- i.e. it's not good the way it is. It's liberals that are embarrassed about our country and apologize for it.

I have no doubt that if I were to submit a "how much do you love your country" survey (say scale 1 to 10)... liberals would score lower.

And I have no doubt that you have rocks in your head. Because, y'know, all conservatives do.

Right wing terrorist = go to town hall and speak your mind

Left wing terrorist (the kind Obama supports) = bomb government buildings, plan to bomb a bunch of policemen but instead blow yourselves up because you smoked too much weed. Go into hiding for years, get out on a technicality, then become a professor and stomp on your flag for a photo op.

Have any other battles you would like to lose?

Was there a point in there somewhere, or is that your version of waxing philosophic?

You are making a broad generalization based on nothing more than your unsubstantiated opinion. Note that I am a vet, I love my country as least as much as you and am proud that I chose to serve the US in the military, am devoutly patriotic. Now how do I figure into your world view?

You mean like

Timothy_McVeigh

?

Quote:

McVeigh was known throughout his life as a loner; his only known affiliations were voter registration with the Republican Party when he lived in New York

Oh, there was definitely a point.

Is anyone here surprised you're incapable of figuring it out? Nah.

I claim nothing more than a broad generalization. I don't claim to be able to predict the leaning of every single liberal. My statements weren't unsubstantiated, I provided examples. You would figure into my world view as an outlier -- like a golden retriever that bites kids or an honest politician.

Do you honestly believe that liberals would score the same as the rest of us on a "how much do you love your country" scale?

Oh the horror! Not jingoistic talking points! Wait, defaced images of the president! What terrorists!

Nobody supported McVeigh. He didn't get an anti-government photo-op, didn't provide sweetheart deals to our president, and certainly wasn't his friend.
