GOP debate

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Although I am not a member of either party, the Democrats are closer to where I am ideologically. That said, the questions that were asked in this debate seemed to have more to do with embarrassing individual candidates than helping Republican voters decide which candidate to vote for in the primaries - which I was of the apparently mistaken impression was the reason for the debate.

When a conservative criticizes America he's trying to make it better. When a liberal criticizes America it hates it and should go somewhere else.

more left/right, black/white dribble.

exactly! once everyone accepts this, we'll all be better off and can get on with the business of pushing through the republican agenda.

When a con compliments America, he's celebrating a freedom he was successfully able to keep away from someone he doesn't agree with. 

 

 

When a lib compliments America, she's celebrating the passing of a law that takes us one step closer to socialism.  

[Crampknees]

I see what you did there.

[Spirit]

Subtle

[arch stanton]

When I compliment something it usually means I'm trying to get into its pants.

Never heard him say anything good about it.

[Spirit]

There it is.  What further proof do you need?

[Adam]

I imagine he enjoys the bagels

[Spirit]

And reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show on PBS

[Jay]

There it is.  What further proof do you need?

 

what proof are you looking for?

[Spirit]

You gave me all the proof I need.  You've never heard him say anything good about America.  So clearly he never has. 

[Jay]

No, I just never heard him say anything good.

 

Which is all the proof I need.

 

But you shouldn't take my word for it, you should go ahead and form your own opinion.

[TobiasFunke]

Jay is your typical modern day Republican.

 

Has never heard Bernie say anything good about America therefore Bernie hates America

 

Quality

[Crampknees]

You don't have to ever hear a politician say anything or even know who they are.  Once they don't register as Republican they hate America right there, i.e., Bernie hates America.

Lately I've been feeling this nagging itch that makes me want to declare jihad on merica and my self esteem

**Warning, generalizations below. The generalizations are basically true, but they may not describe you.**

 

I can answer the question of whether Dems hate America. The answer is to separate the types of Dems we're talking about. Dems like JFK and Jim Webb don't hate America. Neither did the union guys who would be against Communism and beat up anti-Vietnam protesters. These are people who believe a certain thing about the relationship between people and the government, but who nonetheless are patriotic and defend the US. 

 

The leftist Dems (took over the party ideologically around the seventies, although most of the members of the party are still union members and various minorities, except for single women who must be close to the majority of women now) hate America. Why? Because they're leftists. Leftists see the US as having stood in the way of progress (Communism) and hate it for that reason. These are the people who make fun of people who like the US ("Merica!!"). They read America-haters like Chomsky and Zinn. The US isn't a country to admire- it's one to bring around to enlightenment (Marxism). 

 

When my friend came back from Argentina, she told me how Argentinians hated the US. I asked her if they were leftists, generally, and she said, "yes." Well, they hate the US because they're leftists, not because the US is mean. Think: what other reason would ARGENTINA have to hate the US?

Anyways, my guess is that Bernie is an America-hater who thinks he can bring the country around by applying the tried and true socialist cure. He did visit our enemies and offered them comforting words.
