Please explain something to me. What is this obsession that liberals have with seeing America destroyed?
Why are they so intent on humiliating their fellow citizens? And why don't they have at least some modicum of pride about the greatest nation the world has ever produced?
In other words, why are they so insistent on seeing America pummeled?
It is clear from the way they recoil when someone refers to them as "anti-American" or "unpatriotic" that there is a piece of them (however insignificantly tiny) that does not wish to be classified as such.
But I cannot for the life of me comprehend why they are so offended. It seems to me that if you love your country, that you love it most when it faces its toughest challenges. But this is not the case with John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emmanuel, and the other 215 that first authored, then voted for, the bill that would hand over victory to the terrorists we have been battling so hard to defeat since 9/11.
In their own echo-chamber vanity Murtha, Pelosi and company believe themselves to be smarter than the commanders of the operations in the war on terror. And they believe that we will sit mesmerized, like sheep, while they single-handedly attempt to give the terrorists a date for victory - August 31, 2008.

Did you search to see if this article was already posted ?
Nope... was it posted already?
Because the prevailing mentality of the liberals is that America is a big, strong bully that is pushing weaker nations around for sport, or for oil, or other economic/political gain. They are a fear based lot, feminized to the hilt. The Democrat party should change its name to the Emasculated Party of Cowards.
I am not a Michael Savage fan as of late but the obvious answer here is his...liberalism is a mental disorder
Because they are the "Better Red than dead" and "Peace at ANY price" generation.
Hey Fuzzball, sorry about that - I did a search on Kevin's name but it didn't pull up any posts with this article attached.
I listen to him every day in New York - in fact I left Hannity for him...
Simply AWESOME!
Can you say: "Fifth Column"?
That's because search works only on the words in the article title and Kevin's name is not part of the title as published on townhall.com.
Check this.
Oh, and did I mention that articles from townhall.com DO NOT need to be excerpted? See the official list here.

If can't understand why people react negatively to being call anti-American or unpatriotic then he has not studied much American history and doesn't have a good grasp of human nature.
And frankly without understanding the opposition, it becomes unlikely to defeat them.
A while back on another site I posted an answer to a question much like this one. What I posted was to change a Constitutional "free market" Republic into a socialist state required a number of bad things to happen to the United States.For Democraps to get the kind of USA they envision they HAVE to hope for our economy as well as our position as world leaders to tank.The site I posted on was at least half lib so my posting got a response that was incredible and how pissed these people were at it,which of course gave me pleasure no end !!!
They want to lose, because America is that bad, and they hate it. They hold hate for themselves and what America stands for.
In my experience and IMHO, a person becomes a Liberal as a rebellious reaction to authority. Businesses are successful and they are not, so they hate business. The military is an authority, so they hate the military. Religion offers peace but requires submitting to a Higher Authority, so they hate religion. America is the most successful nation in history, so they hate America.
There are enough of these losers around, and that gives operators like the media and Al Gore an audience and a fan base. After all, even losers can buy books, DVDs, and movie tickets. More importantly they can vote, and unfortunately their vote counts as much as yours or mine.
They want Amreica to lose because they have no sense of win-win. Theeir experience is only that they lose. So, they feel, now it's time for someone else to lose.
Something like that - hope I made sense. I'm typing this while kicking butt in an online poker tournament. LOL.
Rush has also been saying for quite some time that liberalism is a mental disorder. Note to Jodi: Thanks for posting this again! It's an excellent article and I missed it the first time.
You left Hannity to listen to Limbaugh ?? Why in the world were you not listening to Limbaugh first ? In the world of "higher education", there is Limbaugh and then there is the rest of the chatter (mostly Limbaugh's echoes).
This is not to belittle Sean. He does a fine job too, but Limbaugh is more entertaining and he breaks everything down to liberalism vs conservatism. His expressive powers are also better than anyone else's.
I submit that anyone who does not want to be labeled unpatriotic or un-American try not to run like hell from our enemies and put our troops in danger at the drop of a hat. He is saying that if you act un-American, as these left wing POS do, then why act surprised that they are called un-American. Seems that you either misunderstood the article or aren't too bright yourself.

Great. How is that gonna help win the coming battle. Do you know that people identifying with the Republican party plus people leaning Republican is down to 35%? I think that calls for analysis and strategy.
To simply say that everybody who disagrees with us is unpatriotic and that anybody who attempts to understand how we got here and how to deal with it is not too bright is to invite further losses.
I think its better to talk about what it means when America makes a commitment and to look at the cost if we run away than to simply call people names.
The left wing, which makes up the Democrats' base, can never come up with anything to like about America.
