I am tired of hearing pundits on the right talk about how Liberals hate America. Liberals don't hate America, its just the right wing's talking points because it stimulates their listeners.
I myself am very Liberal....and you know what.....I love my Country. I don't love what the current administration is doing to our country, but it doesn't take away my love for the ideals and freedoms of this Country (at least the ones that we still have for now).
I also don't think that Conservatives hate America. I think that a lot of right-wingers do love this country as well.
It really boils down to this......and it doesn't mean either side is right or wrong but:
Conservative Patriots love America whether right or wrong
Liberal Patriots love America when it is right and when it is wrong, they right it.
Its just different philosophies. Its similar to "tough love" principles. There are those who love and support their children even when their children are doing bad things....and then there are the "tough love" parents that believe that enabling their children is not a good idea and believe that the best thing they can do for their children is to engage in tough love by not supporting their activities.
Both groups love their children, no more - no less. Both groups love America, no more - no less.
