Do you have a link for this?That's not hard. Most liberals don't pay their taxes. What percentage of the folks who pay no income tax, 47% of the people, are liberals? Most.
Liberals still join the military including some members of this website. And don't assume you have the right to question how I feel about my family members who served in the military. Of course I'm proud, if only because they would rip into for the bull**** your spewing all over this board.And I agree. There was a time before the socialist took over that liberals did join the military. Like your father, your uncles, one of your cousins, and your grandfathers. I'm proud of them. And you?
Why do you think the liberals work so hard to disenfranchize the military?
I'd argue that the best thing a citizen can do is to criticize. It means they haven't settled and believe in making their country better.
Perfect is inherently unattainable. Striving to push your country closer to that unattainable ideal is truly admirable.
Speaking of painfully obvious, pointing out that one California Senator wants to socialize one specific industry doesn't come anywhere near refuting the comment, "The majority of democrats are not in favor of [socialism]." Not even when you point out that she represents other people.
Unless, of course, you're positing that the majority of Democrats in this country live in California, and that they all voted for her. :lol:
There's a boatload of socialists in the democratic congress. Their black Caucus and their Progressive caucus are full of them.
I'm pretty sure there's a socialist party for socialists...
I think you have a warped view of America if you think socialism should play a major part.
Socialism takes away personal responsibilty.
Personal responsibility is what makes it possible for us to pursue happiness.
Socialism comes with a heavy price tag. I'm not willing to give up my God given rights for "free" stuff.
Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer freedom.
You mean "free" stuff like roads, airports, security (police & military), safety (EMTs, firefighters), etc?
Everything there would be better and cheaper if private, except military (national defense). Competition FTW.
One should be proud of the accomplishments of their anceastors and their own (however minor or unrecognized) contributions to the society that got them this far.

1. Your country sucks (this pretty much only applies to dictatorships).
or
2. You have not traveled and lack perspective.
Being proud of your country is not exclusive of anything else. Have some respect, your life is not so bad.
