Who needs a foil hat with earrings like that?
>>>I think behind her rhetoric is an ethnic/religious bias. If you disagree with the nativist party, you are anti-American de facto because they ARE America.
MickD "How can you "love" all of it when you can't even embrace it conceptually?"
>>>The Right doesn't love all of America as we define it, but since they don't see many of us as a legitimate part of America, they do in fact love all of America.
pags2: "These statements try represent the political divide as between small town values (neocons) versus the big city (liberals)."
>>> IMO that's a way of getting around talking about the less politically correct ethnic/religious motivation they have. It happens that to a large degree the rural/urban divide politically is an ethnic/religious one at the same time.
Yeah as one myself I agree it's disconcerting that about half vote against their own interests, even more so in a way because the GOP just wants their vote and 'no lip boy'. Remember though that there has been a realignment where the GOP of today and the Dems of today are not the same as before the seventies. There is still anti-Catholicism and it's in both parties---then and now, but it manifests differently today.
(BTW in rereading my comment to you, I see it was ambiguous. I meant that it's away for the Right to get around talking about ethnic/religious motivations -- not you.)
But no Ann, we don't hate America. We hate behavior like you exhibit, and we hate that it's exhibited in America, but we don't hate America.
And it's your side which has expertise in projection, not ours.
Spreading democracy to a democratic state!
Since it would be silly to think that someone hates the soil, the mountains, the lakes etc that are contained within the borders of our nation, I assume that by "America" she is talking about the system of government and the rights and obligations that are conferred upon a resident here...
...and when you assume that, it's pretty clear who ACTUALLY "hates America" and who doesn't.
Please tell me this is not true?
Mr. News
This is the written equivalent to the McCain volunteer who had a backwards letter B scratched into her own face.
What a tool.

I remember five or six years ago when the GOP was riding high Coulter saying something on a local radio show to the effect that we have to get rid of Democrats. I wish I could remember her exact words but she said it seriously.
I wonder how amused you'd be if say Michael Moore were to go around the country talking up elimination of Republican.
To watch them give Bush ( a man who won a questionable election in 2000) credit for the protesters in Iran tells you that everyone on Fox noise must be on some good stuff.
The invasion of Iraq by Bush has destabled that region of the world in such away that it will take decades and billions of American dollars to try and restore the damage to one of Irans biggest threats. Way to go George.
Now the right wing and Fox noise want Obama to make the same mistake. When will you guys learn?
Did any other nation get involved in the recount in Jebs state of Florida in 2000? No.
Bush deserves credit for sticking his nose in a place where it should never have been. Not in helping the protesters of Iran.
After all Iraq did not attack the United States on on 9/11.
