having a different political view and expressing it IS what america is all about. have all you who think liberals hate america lost what america is all about? or do you all prefer us to go in lock step with you?
yes, I see how the liberals love America. Wanting to change it into something it was not intended to be. A socialist republic that sucks the life out of America and puts it into huge debt. If they love their country they would do what JFK said.. "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.''
I know a lot of liberals who either are or want to be in the military. Wouldn't that fit your definition of asking what you can do for your country?
We are not all the caricature you have inside your head. Get to know us and talk to us and you're find that most of what you hate about "liberals" is only in your mind.
Yes, they are. Conservatives have been doing this for years. Yet they neglect to mention that the 4th is celebrated patriotically throughout New England, New York and Washington--three of the bluest regions of the country. But like I said, the people who post these threads are morons, nothing more.
You 're right about the New England thing. I would not frame the argument in terms of a Democrat/Republican one, rather as a Liberal/Conservative one. It may surprise many to know that even New England leans conservative.
Hey, I'm not the ****ing idiot proclaiming to others that they aren't "real Americans" if they don't agree with my politics. Funny that you don't seem to have a problem with that....actually, never mind..it's thoroughly predictable that you let that slide.
And you should make a prolonged study of our Constitution and the principles of the Declaration of Independence which provides the philosophical undergirding of the REAL America, the one in which The People reign supreme.
Agreed. And if that poster, and anyone else, turns on NPR, they will be reading the Declaration in a few minutes. I heard it earlier this morning. It was very moving.

Obama and the loony left have made freedom a partisan issue. If you don't like it, get rid of obama and vote for a patriot.
Reading over all the posts on this topic its posts like yours that put forth the case for the looney right,all the leftwing posts on this topic seem sane, believable and lacking in hate and animosity.
My father was a democrat and every Holiday we'd put out the flags and have the cookout as well as listen to patriotic music, so I'd have to say watch what you say. He was an old school democrat but had no animosity to republicans. Just say liberals.
Getting back to patriotic music, Thank God for cable music channels. I can listen to patriotic music all day and not have to listen to that crap from the networks they broadcast from places like Philly, DC and NYC. July 4th has become one big street party with worn out R and B groups, hip hop losers, rap dorks and elderly rockers. I miss Ray Charles and Johnny Cash. Hey, they're playing John Phillip Sousa!
My family has been in this country since long before it became the U.S.A. My family fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the first Iraq War, and in both the Iraq and Afghan wars this time around. I am the widow of a Vietnam War Marine. AND I AM A LIBERAL. Don't you dare tell me that I am "unAmerican" or that I don't love my country. When I am critical of some things that some people in my country do it is BECAUSE I love my country and do not want to see it destroyed by greed.

Yup, pretty much. There is nothing worse than fools who are upset that others have a different opinion than they do.

Yeah, good ol' Todd Allen Herendeen...another super-patriot, flag-waving "lover" of America and freedom whose biography doesn't include any time in actual, physical defense of this country.
I'm sorry, but Chickenhawks get on my friggin' nerves.
