I'm not so sure...in Galloway's case, he seems to believe that he is an ordained standard-bearer in the jihad against the West. He probably thinks that Allah is smiling upon him and applauding his ever word. His belligerence and arrogance is breathtaking,,,,I heard an interview with him on Michael Medved's radio show, and he was (and most likely remains) utterly consumed with his own self-importance and rigidly convinced of the correctness and legitimacy of his words. A disgusting piece of work he is.
Scratch an ultra liberal, and you find an inordinate amount of guilt and self-loathing.
Agreed....hating their country becomes an extension of their own self-hatred.
