Hi Clay, thanks for stopping by. I think most of them really do believe the sky is falling, though.

I think you will discover they hate it just as much when one of them is president. If you don’t believe me, take a look at environmental policy and how it sets out to destroy America’s industrial base. How can you love America and then go out to destroy it in the name of green. I love the clean outdoors, but kooky science isn’t worth losing the country over.

Generalizing is disrespectful? Oooookay. If you haven’t noticed the seething hatred on the political left these past 8 years, you must have been hiding under a rock. Take a look at the photos from the protests and tell me if you think those people love the United States.

I don’t know anyone who thinks that patriotism prohibits one from criticizing his country. I find many things wrong with the US of A, but I still love it.

Please don’t generalize. It is disrespectful and a little hurtful. Not to mention obtuse. I thought this was a “critical thinking” forum…

I am a person of liberal political leanings, and I do love this country. I feel fortunate to have been born into a nation of such prosperity and security, a nation founded upon such unique ideals. This sort of gratitude is not vicissitudinous.

I am particular about the exact meaning of the phrase “love of country.” Too many people cling to a blind “love” that is more of a jingoistic and xenophobic obsession than actual love. Too many people think that patriotism requires complete and utter lack of criticism of one’s country. I feel that true love of country necessarily requires sufficient attention to identifying and fixing its flaws. Flaws should not be ignored. Any person who would ignore such flaws cannot truly be said to love his country – for he is simply sitting back and allowing gradual degeneration.

The kingdom of Blog will likely collapse on itself from the vacuum of thought.

On to the next “crisis!”

I’m with Mulled Vine on that! Well, unless some out there persist on endless analysis of the results.

I disagree, Allen. Everything is in God’s control, but not everything is his will. When Obama runs the country into the ground, we won’t be able to blame God for that.

Everything is the will of God so clearly the Republicans have gone as far as God is letting them.

Now perhaps the blogging world can return to talking about something the rest of the world is interested in!! ;-)
