Do Bush supporters hate their country?
Posted: 2006/02/13
From: Paradise Post

Sometimes the people who still fervently support George W. Bush seem just plain stupid, and other times it seems they must be dishonest and even malevolent, harboring a hatred for their country that allows them to support misguided ideas and private agendas over the public good.<snip>

It's hard to keep that thought, though, when the lies keep piling up higher and deeper, and when so much of the energy of Bush supporters goes into evading reality. Is it really possible for there to be an honest difference of opinion about the calamitous Bush decision to invade Iraq? No weapons of mass destruction there, as we were told there were. No link between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein, as we were told there was, and as we continue to be urged to believe by deceptive administration rhetoric. Almost no likelihood that a stable democracy will be possible in an Iraq rent by ethnic feuds and anti-democratic traditions. Billions upon billions of dollars squandered in Iraq, and billions more stolen by corrupt U.S. contractors. Meanwhile, the Homeland Security entity Bush created has shown itself to be yet another huge government boondoggle, and utterly witless in responding to a national emergency.

Beyond that, we have the shameful spectacle of Americans who call themselves patriots urging a forfeiture of our rights and liberties as U.S. citizens the rights to due process and the protections devised by the founding fathers to guard against abuses of power.<snip>

AND BEYOND THAT...goes on and on....BEYOND THAT, BEYOND THAT, BEYOND THAT, BEYOND THAT..:) This really is a GREAT READ. (my comment)

<snip>But to people who are either stupid or malevolent, hatred of those they would label as "liberals" trumps love of country every time and blinds them to the harm being done to our security, our heritage and our well-being.<snip>

and wish we'd either see the errors of our ways and begin to dress, act and think like they do and maybe give them all our stuff, or we should be killed off like Coulter and Savage and the other screechers say we should.

We hate policies. They hate people. That's really the big difference out there.

"But to people who are either stupid or malevolent, hatred of those they would label as "liberals" trumps love of country every time and blinds them to the harm being done to our security, our heritage and our well-being."

This is the be all, end all reasoning for everything they do and say on the right. We keep trying to rationalize and figure out and talk to and reach the other side, when in the end this statement sums them up in their entirety.

...but they really don't. If you love your country, you have to be willing to criticize it when it does something wrong. Blindly going along with everything isn't love.
