It seems like most Republican Conservatives hat Europe?
Why is that?
It's very weird considering that most Republicans competing in the Republican primaries have European roots.
Why do they despise the continent there ancestors came from?

Most of Europe hates Americans and they don't care what party you belong to.

I love Europe. I may not like the way some things are over there, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Europe is really cool place.

Because Europe in many respects shows what a scam their right wing ideology is.

Why do Europeans despise the country their ancestors built?

I have no suggestions on how it could work but I wish we could have an agreement with the EU that allowed Americans to live in the Europe and vice versa. My family loved London and I bet a lot of Europeans would like to try the US. I don't hate Europe at all but I'm not a conservative.

I'm assuming you're speaking about Western Europe. I disagree with their nanny statism and cradle to the grave entitlement mentality; I think they are being very foolish in rejecting their faith in God; and I grow very frustrated with American liberals who think we should adopt their big government, values, ideas, and way of life. But I certainly don't hate them. I personally believe Western Europe is an awesome place to visit and I cannot wait to go back.

It's not so much that conservatives hate Europe as it is liberals want to make America more like Europe and conservatives resist that. Europe is a cool place but that's because of their history and culture, not their government.

For similar reasons that my little dog hates the big dog when he gets the kudos for being good.

Yes because decades of liberlism/socalism over there are doing wonders for the EU!
