"Pat, we all know most liberals hate this country and all that it stands for."

Dale, when you say 'we' do you mean you and Pat? Or is there a third person who subscribes to your narrow little analysis?

I'm a liberal, I guess. And most, but not all, of my closest friends are liberal too. None of us 'hate' this country. All of us, including most of my conservative friends, are shocked, angry, cynical, and disgusted by the actions of the current Administration. Some of us 'hate' them and all that they stand for, but that' s a lot different than hating our country. Most of us feel pretty patriotic about what we think America should represent in the world.

How did you let yourself become so twisted that you equate fascism, torture, and colonialism with patriotism, and liberalism with treason?
