Reply #162: Why don't you criticize the right wingers who say America sucks? [View All]

why don't you go over to free republic or talibornagains.dom. and tell them to leave if they complain.

if you think right wingers are all about love of this country you are full of shit.

they say we are now immoral, as tho at some point we were something other than what we have always been. They criticize the basis of our govt... secular democracy. no religion favored over another. no religious test for public office.

they divide the nation into liberals and their moral selves. (which, if you look at some recent behavior, esp. is pretty funny. do you have to be a pedophile or a self-hating gay person to be a republican? Maybe that's why they claim some special priviledge for themselves and punish gays. maybe they are closeted gays who cannot accept that others who are not them are also human. THEY have spouted more hate speech about liberals. gay, women, quakers... on and on... over the last thirty years than you will ever see here. and done it in the churches.

The right wing thinks that war is a sign of patriotism. how stupid is that. Too many right wingers seem to have no grasp of effective foreign policy.

as for a troll buckwhatever - you write that criticism of one's family, which was a metphor I used, is somehow a bad thing? Did you grow up in a dysfuntional home? sounds like it. ignore the elephant in the living room. don't tell what daddy did. pretend we're happy and better than our neighbors.

maybe if liberals were actually represented in numbers equal to their numbers, you wouldn't hear quite so much criticism... because the govt. would actually represent the beliefs of the MAJORITY of americans in this country. but, of course, you don't want that because that's too much democracy. too much equality of opinion.
