I would never want to live in the hell hole that is Europe. They are going bankrupt and most of their people are suffering. United States is a utopia in comparison but liberals make it seem like Europe is a better place when they have no idea how much suffering the poor and middle class endure there.

I spent the last two years living in various European countries, I didn't see this poor and middle class suffering of which you speak.

Hell hole? Really...
Have you ever visited Europe?
I happen to live here and many posters on this board have/do, as well.
Germany hs one of the world's best economy. You get about €0.65/$1.
What suffering do the poor and middle class suffer here?
Seriously... yeah, making a living wage and having health care sure do make people suffer.
How are the poor and middle class faring in the US?
I'd take European poverty over US poverty any day.

Europeans wouldn't want you living here, either.

When was the last time you've been to Europe. When was the last time you've been outside the US, when was the last time you left your state?

A lot of these people have to hate Europe because it's not easy to dismiss like Cuba, Venezuela, or other failed/struggling Communist / Socialist countries. People actually have a high quality of life with a large government presence, which undermines their entire philosophical stance.

For anyone in this country to hold the United States up as somehow having its fiscal house in order compared to European nations is pretty laughable.

And that's just scratching the surface. By all means, please add to the list.
I'd rather be poor and free in America than a well fed serf in europe.

Another interesting assumption on their part is that Europe is becoming too liberal.
Obviously they know nothing; Europe is becoming more conservative, if anything.
Of course, in many cases their "conservative" stance is still left of our liberal stance.

This is simply another troll thread.

They get their history and political science lessons from Glenn Beck. What do you expect. Of course, these are the same nutcases that consider Obama to be a Communist Muslim.

Funny, I don't think anyone references Glenn Beck more than you do.
