Perhaps you don’t get out much or read or listen what they write and say on a daily basis. It has been my experience they believe that this is a raciest, homophobic, capitalists, imperialist, warmongering country lead by niocons and Zionists, that least that what they have stated on countless occasions.

Honestly, I don't pay that much attention in general. I would agree that there are many ignorant blow hards who are more than willing to call names and throw fits. But, it is important to consider that there are ignorant blow hards on both sides of this issue.

(I pay little attention to those folks as well)

I do however listen when those whom I care about express their points of view, even if they do not match word for word with my own.

I believe that as a divided (right vs. left) country we are weak. I also believe that there are an awful lot of folks who want nothing more than to keep us divided.

Tell me do you also believe that Islam is a religion of peace?

I don't believe that this is a sincere question.

I will, however give you a sincere answer.

No, I don't believe that islam is a religion of peace.

I also have very close liberal friends and greatly enjoy debating issues with them. They love the country and support the troops and can muster fairly good argument in support of their positions. However they are a distinctly differently breed from your average liberal antiwar “protester”.

If you hang around FR you will see countless billboards, banners and posters carried by these anti American protesting groupies.

I can’t post pictures but there is a telling one posted here many time showing protesters carrying a large sign that says, “We support the Troops, when they kill their officers”. There are countless others that pretty much sums up their love of country.
