Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Liberals don't love America the way conservatives do

The only shocking thing about [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. is that a liberal was actually willing to say this out loud:
I don't love America. That's what conservatives are always telling liberals like me. Their love, they insist, is truer, deeper and more complete. Then liberals, like all people who are accused of not loving something, stammer, get defensive and try to have sex with America even though America will then accuse us of wanting it for its body and not its soul. When America gets like that, there's no winning. But I've come to believe conservatives are right. They do love America more. Sure, we liberals claim that our love is deeper because we seek to improve the United States by pointing out its flaws. But calling your wife fat isn't love. True love is the blind belief that your child is the smartest, cutest, most charming person in the world, one you would gladly die for. I'm more in "like" with my country.
... Conservatives feel personally blessed to have been born in the only country worth living in. I, on the other hand, just feel lucky to have grown up in a wealthy democracy. If it had been Australia, Britain, Ireland, Canada, Italy, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, Israel or one of those Scandinavian countries with more relaxed attitudes toward sex, that would have been fine with me too.
When a Democrat loses the presidential race, real lefties talk a lot about moving to Canada. When Republicans lose, they don't do that. Though, to be fair, they don't have a lot of nearby conservative options. Not even Hannity is a committed enough conservative to yell, "If Obama wins, I'm moving to Singapore."
This doesn't mean I'm not fascinated by American history, impressed by our Constitution or don't appreciate our optimism and entrepreneurial spirit. In fact, I love everything Hannity listed on his TV special other than Madonna. But there are plenty of things I don't like about America: our foreign policy, our religious fundamentalism, our provincialism, our intellectual laziness, our acceptance of sweat suits in public.
When I ran the idea that liberals don't love America as much as conservatives by talk-show host Glenn Beck, who will move from CNN Headline News to Fox News next month, he totally agreed with me, which is precisely why I called him. "It's absolutely true, deep love. As a parent loves a child," he said. "But I think liberals laugh that off, the way the rest of the country laughs off the love Texans have for their state. Texans don't think, 'Oklahoma, you suck.' Well, yes they do -- but they don't think other states suck. They just have a love for the republic of Texas. I don't have disdain for other countries. Well, except for France."


continues.

USA

I have to admit that was funny... but hey I enjoy a good sarcastic joke from time to time. I do how ever believe there is a deeper rooted point in this whole story. It is not even about the USA but about wanting to be like the rest of the world... That's the really sad part. They are trying to make us like the rest of the world and unhappy we haven't run out and joined their little gang.So I guess we really do Love the USA more 'cuz we don't want to change to the way and views of the world. I like it here, just the way it is and give a rat's behind if they don't like me for it. They can just go to the airport and get their last cavity check performed and exit stage Left , Right even...

Ummmmmmm To be honest, we Texans also laugh at Arkansas and well.......New Jersey makes us giddy with hysterical laughter. It's nothing personal, it's just well, they're Arkansas and New Jersey!!!!! Then of course there's California, we don't laugh at California but we do talk about it and then roll our eyes and sometimes the men spit.



Then again there's New York. *sighs*









Oh, and Massachusetts. What can I say? We laugh at Massachusetts a lot. But then most of you are laughing at them too.















North Dakota. It's just a big freezer.









Maybe I should just stop now, ummmmm we like to laugh a lot in Texas.

Had you bothered to look, the original article referenced was from the Los Angeles Times. Even a card-carrying Liberal like you can't say the LAT is right wing.

You should really know what your talking about before spewing something you do not know, but that's not surprising.

Liberal double standard can say anything...only then is anything credible.

I didn't read the article...don't need to. If thedemosocialists truly do Love this Country, then a fair question would be; "then why are you always trying to change it?" Why are you always "railing" against it?" Why do you want a bigger and more oppressive government? This Country was "founded" on a minimalist style government. Not a "socialist nanny state"
