I know, right? Remember when the Dixie Chicks criticized the President and all the conservatives were like "That's cool, man, this is America. They were just exercising their freedom of speech."?

Several conservatives have agreed with the evil communists that 9/11 was indeed a response to invasive foreign policy in the Middle East. I take back my earlier statement: I have heard conservatives be honest about the issue.

This sure is awkward, isn't it?

It's pretty simple. It's one thing to say we "deserved" the attacks and that 1000s of people "deserve" to die. But to say that this was completely out of the blue or that they "hate us because of our freedom" when we're like the 15th freest country in the world is false.

I will say this, I am not going to call the US government a terrorist organization, but I will say some of the things they've done would give them a run for their money.

If you really hate America that much, just leave and go to your beloved ****hole extremist or communist countries like China, Syria, DR of Congo or Venezuela.
Pretty sure it is conservatives who don't support the United States legally elected president and give hope to groups like ISIS. How patriotic is that?

Texas and other conservative geographical areas keep promising to secede (but disappointingly--never do.) How patriotic is that?

Conservative have a very strange definition of "patriotism." To conservatives, patriotism is something they feel only when there is a republican president. They are hypocritiotric.

I want everyone in this country to have an equal opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

If that is unpatriotic, so be it.

Fullest potential to do what exactly? Make money? Buy a big house? Drive a nice car?


I want freedom, and nothing more.

Patriotism does not equal a blind support of all government actions, a stance that we never err. A true love of country isn't afraid to admit mistakes in an effort to make the country you love better.

What freedom exactly? Freedom to enter anybody houses and take their money?

All existing systems of belief and morals are simply not up to the task of clearly defining personal freedom and its limits.

I also can admit we make mistakes, and am not afraid to say it. I also know the 9/11 terrorists attacked us for supporting Israel and for being involved in ME politics. But the way things are worded here and in other places suggest that it's all our fault, and we should excuse their actions of the murder of thousands of innocents. If they had problems with the way we do things, why not handle it in a civilized way, such as protest, some kind of talks, etc? Instead of destroying buildings and mass murder in the name of Allah.

I don't think all liberals are unpatriotic, I don't believe all conservatives are patriotic.

However, limousine liberals remain misguided.
