Today I see many Democrats who seem to want to redesign America in such a way as to make it unrecognizable to prior generations. They seem to have animosity toward, even hatred of, the way the country is.

It seems the left has become more anti-American over the last few years. How do you feel?
"there are more Communists still teaching in American Universities than there are in all of Russia today"....Boris Yeltsin...in a speech in Houston..........maybe that is why....!

I'm 47 and was raised Republican. Once I grew up, I began to realize what a bunch of snobby elitists my extended family is. I am no longer Republican, nor am I Democrat. I don't need a party to tell me how and what to think. I have certain beliefs that fall into both camps.

I don't get to vote for Fed Chairman and I certainly don't vote for establishment D or R candidates nor the slime they surround themselves with. You could definitely blame those that do though.

Ask any liberal what America should be, and he'll chew your ear off. Ask him what's wrong with America, and he'll offer you a reading list. But ask him what America is-- besides a massive social service center or a collection of war crimes and corporations, and he'll have no real answers and just go to the liberal handbook and deflect as usual.

“A Liberal Paradise would be a place where everybody
has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare,
free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities;
and only Law Enforcement has guns.

Such a place does exist.

It’s called prison.”

(Ayn Rand)

I have some fairly liberal social views, so I'm not a lock-step Republican, but the difference between the anti-American left and patriots on the right (not all Republicans are patriots) could not be more pronounced.
