Just about everyone I know who criticizes American foreign policy because their heart bleeds for other countries, or people who would favor policies that benefit foreign countries at the expense of the USA are liberals and Democrats. For example, people who are for "fair trade" and are against farm subsidies to American farmers.
I've never EVER seen a car with an Obama-Biden sticker also have an American flag or a Support the Troops bumper stickers. In my old neighborhood, the people who fly the American flag in their yards or put troops ribbons on their mailbox are all conservatives and Republicans.
Well then you have never seen MY car. My car has a big bumper sticker that says "Proud Parent of a Soldier" on it AND it also has the Jesus "fish" sign on it. My family has been in every war since the Revolution, my oldest daughter is a current SGM, and I am the widow of a Viet Nam Marine. And I'd be willing to bet that I have done more to support Veterans than you. OH, and being from Wisconsin, I certainly support farm subsidies. When you generalize this way, you are just as wrong as if I were to suggest that everybody voting for McCain is a KKK member or a draft dodger who sits in their office and makes money out of sending other people's children to die.
When you say "patriotic", do you mean less likely to want to get involved in, get maimed in, or die in a stupid war brought on by a village idiot based upon false pretenses? Well yes, if you define patriotic in that sense, liberals are not very patriotic.
Some did believe those things. Clinton fell for the WMD part. Oh wait, he was one of them trying to scare the public into believing the crap. Would you like me to go on with the stuff many liberals have believed? Didn't think so. You failed utterly intrying to make yourself look smart.
No liberal, including Bill Clinton (who is not really all that liberal, by the way), started a war based on these beliefs. No liberal grandstanded over Ms. Schiavo's deathbed. But you miss the point, anyway.
I was making fun of the commenter who said that conservatives were fact-based and liberals just believed stuff willy-nilly. Therefore it's not necessary for me to point out liberal fallicies. So you have made only yourself look idiotic.

No offense, but I don't think patriotism has anything to do with how many flag stickers you put on a car or whether or not you put a ribbon on a mailbox.
Well I don't think marching our country toward socialism is very patriotic....
We marched past socialism a long time ago. Where were you?
We have a national defense, national parks, medical and retirement safety nets, national transportation systems, regulations, national transportation systems. We even own banks, now!

This is like asking, are conservatives less intelligent? Which is to say, it's a ridiculous question.
