Freedom, choice and OPPORTUNITY.

It is the democrats/liberals that want everything "equal", socially and economically.

And if it's not (which it has NEVER been), they will take someone else's money and give it to the slackers, the leeches, the freeloaders.

The R party followers have little to base their "love" of America on. They Hate the Gov't....they hate taxes which support the Country. They Love War which weakens us financially and morally and they all care for one thing only.....Their own money......Just read Ayn Rand and her philosophy of objectivism. Is that the kind of community you want to live in? One driven by money and greed and personal self preservation by any means necessary?

It is like Ghandi said about Christians..." I like your Christ, not your Christians.....I like America just not Americans.

UNTRUE......They want to ensure that the most powerful do not continue to monopolize everything so they can reap all the spoils while YOU and everyone like you get left in the cold.......

Learn to swim.

So do they hate Obama more than they love America? I think so.
Do MOST, I doubt it, do Many, Yes.

democrats (specifically, liberals) can't use that playbook anymore since obama became president-because obama has been the best friend that the wealthy and connected have ever had, and he has been bush on steroids with illegal immigration, foreign aid, wars and war killing.

the rich got their bailouts and their bonuses, and the poor and middle class got the bill.

obama probably took away more freedom from americans than any president we have ever had.

they better stick to the republicans hate women angle.

Sadly, yes, for the most part. But then they have the gall to get on their high horse and call us unpatriotic, and traitors, and haters of the Constitution. It's that hypocrisy and arrogance that's the worst of all.

One person does not change the ideology of an entire people.

Obama is a conservative wearing a Liberal suit. The people who disagree are just to dumb or ignorant to notice.

Republicans in office and on the street make their views completely well known. They hate the poor even though many of them are in fact poor themselves, they are sexist, they are intolerant of other religions beside Christianity, they are PRO war, PRO imperialism, PRO Plutocracy.......

The R party is an Enigma. They have feared their voters into voting against their own best interest in the hopes that they will, through their own sheer will and determination squeak out a miserable existence and be satisfied.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that.

I'd say he's a left-leaning moderate, that has been forced to be a bit more conservative by a Republican House.

But I would agree that he's not particularly "hard-core" either way.

Yes, I'm afraid so. They not only hate Barack Obama, but they hate seeing hope because it's the only thing more powerful than fear. They also hate minorities, women, the working class, non-Christians, college students, homosexuals, and anyone else who isn't wealthy, white, Christian, straight, male. Not all of them are like that, but most of the ones I've known fit at least half that criteria.
