They seem to have a negative attitude and a glass half-empty mentality and conclude that the U.S. is the great source of problems in the world. Wrong-headed, incomprehensible, unhealthy beliefs. Shameful.
Shameful? To be honest about our current circumstances and standing in the world? Why do republicans call that bad? I call it patriotic because it means they want to make things better, and that means admitting something is wrong , and trying to fix it. Conservatives think America is perfect. Therefore, nothing needs to be fixed, because they don't perceive any problems. Both sides are needed, and both sides need to be heard. That is why we need bipartisanship. I believe the reason this last 8 years has been a disaster, is because people stopped listening to eachother. In particular, and I hate to blame simply republicans, but, Bush and the republican administration effectively blocked out all dissenting opinion and ceased the flow of information across the aisle. Whoever is our next president, liberal or conservative, he/she needs to have more partisanship in the White House, otherwise, we are never going to survive, and things will simply get worse.
