what has gone wrong
the ship has already been wrecked
No, it hasn't. The US has its difficulties, but its still one of the best places to work or live in the world.
Though as an aside, have you noticed how much some conservatives hate this country? I mean *hate*. There is no country they'd rather talk shit about, no good news that they won't ignore, no prediction of doom they won't gleefully swallow if it portrays the United States in the worst light possible?
I mean, reading the posts of some conservatives is like reading Soviet Era politburo propaganda. Which isn't exactly surprising. Most of these same conservatives have a Putin fetish that borders of the sexual, laud Russian politics, leadership and staunchly anti-gay stances.
its still one of the best places to work or live in the world.
then WTF was "days away from fundamentally transforming America" all about
Its a political 'rorschach test', where you get to project yourself onto it. Given the utter loathing and spiteful hatred that many conservatives have for the United States, they've told us what they think. What do you think it means?
where do you get that crap
when was the last time you seen a Conservative pissing on the flag
stopping their grimy feet on it
or torching it for example
I've seen plenty of American Conservatives raise the battle flag of the southern armies that fought against us and killed US soldiers by the hundreds of thousands. I've seen plenty of American Conservatives train their guns on lawful US law enforcement enacting court orders. It wasn't democrats in the Nevada desert babbling about 'rivers of blood' from US law enforcement. It was American Conservatives.
Who funds and overwhelmingly participates in secessionists movements in this country? American Conservatives. Who does these seccessionist groups fund? American Conservatives. ALbama Chief Justice Moore was funded by just such a group. And he's about as Conservative as Conservative gets.
Look at our board. Those insisting that our economy will collapse? Overwhelming American Conservatives. Those that are insisting we're an immoral nation embracing degeneracy? American Conservatives. Those calling for the 'responsibility to eradicate homosexuals'? American Conservatives. Those rubbing one out to the thought of another Civil war? American Conservatives.
There's no group more likely to focus exclusively on the negative, more group willing to ignore any positive signs, no group more committed to the collapse of this country, than American Conservatives. No matter how low our unemployment numbers go, no matter how high the DOW, no matter how many people we employ.......they still talk an endless seething stream of shit about this country, her people, and her economy. The 47% that was written off as leeches....near a full HALF of our country?
Written off by American Conservatives.
The hate, vitriol and pure naked Anti-American poison pouring from the fringe of American conservatism is as rabid as it is rancid. They fucking hate this country. They hate everything about it. They hate its values, its laws, its taxes, its government, its people, its entertainment, its culture, its colleges, its music, its media.
And it wasn't always this way. As I remember a time when you could always count on an American Conservative to be pro-US. Sometimes to the exclusion of reason, they'd always be the one's out in front, screaming 'USA, #1!'
Not anymore. They fucking hate us. I've traveled the world, talked to pretty much every kind of person there is. Canadians, Japanese, French, Chinese, Nigerians, Egyptians, Iranians, you have it.
I've never heard the kind of naked hatred of the US from any of them that I do American Conservatives.
From what I've been reading on this board, I would tend to agree. We mustn't forget though, that these types of forums tend to attract the most extreme people with the most extreme views. I've said it before . . . they are too crazy for anyone else to listen to them and take them seriously, so they come to forums like this to "express themselves" and their crazy effed up viewpoints. I tend to think they are in the minority. Maybe I'm just optimistic though.
