Other than Israel, I can't really think of any. I mean they hate Canada, all of western Europe, China, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico, any country with a majority of Muslims (so that's all of Northern Africa and much of mainland Africa, all of the Middle East [except Israel - though there are about 1/3 Muslims there], and most of Central Asia i.e. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazahkstan, Kzyrgystan, etc., Turkey, Albania (these are in Eastern Europe)... There are probably more that I'm missing. But the point is, which ones do they actually like?

South Africa? Oh, wait. Black president. Nevermind.
Japan? Shit, I forgot. National healthcare.
Ireland? Nope. National healthcare.

Oh wait a minute! Somalia! Very limited government with widespread gun ownership. And Rwanda! They're trying to make homosexuality a capital offense.

Any others? Or are they too populated with foreigners?
 
There are lots of other countries I like. To visit. Would not want to live there. At the top of my list is Ireland.
 
Lolberals like other socialist nations so much, but refuse to move there and live the dream.

No, they'd rather do like the schmucks who are in the process of screwing over the Rocky Mountain west...They move there because it's different, then spend all of their time trying to make it like the hell holes they left.

Links? or are you a liar?
 
Iran or Saudi Arabia are the closest countries to their dream of a hard right wing utopia.
 
Liberals like to use the word "hate" a lot. Maybe they watched the movie "Canadian Bacon" too many times and actually think Americans hate the polite nation to the north of us. Maybe lefties confuse international borders with hatred? Who knows what goes on in their half baked narrow minds.
 
I like Mexico a lot. Great diving and fishing. Canada is pretty sweet too. Although I think we should set the standard for other countRies to follow. We should lead,which is a concept foreign to lefties.
 
I like many foreign countries but prefer to live here and would be delighted if the OP selected some country far away, hopefully without internet capability.

So I'll put Somalia down as the country you want to model the US after.

Or Australia circa Mad Max..

:D

Yeah...Whatever. :rolleyes:
 
What foreign countries do liberals like? Do they like those "socialist" countries with 20-25% VAT and 30% income tax rates on the average worker? Since 2008, 21 european governments have raised the VAT but only 5 have raised income tax rates on the wealthy. It would be a hard sell for the "tax the rich" crowd in America :cool:

Maybe Switzerland? High gun ownership rates, low federal tax rates and strong fiscal decentralization, neutral foreign policy (old-fashioned conservatives love it), tough immigration and citizenship rules, consumer-driven universal health care, a non-partisan federal government... and the "worst" thing: many wealthy residents, ridiculously low corporate taxes and low unemployment/poverty rates.

In late 2010 almost 60% voted against a minimum 22% income tax rate for people making 250K francs or more per year. No utopia there. Just pragmatic freedom loving people.

Oh! And that central european country called Germany, whose leaders believe that the central bank has no role in stimulating the economy and creating jobs and that money printing should not hide irresponsible government, is not bad either.

Their approach to abortion is so pragmatic that it has almost become a non-issue:

They seem to like Russia. Wide-open capitalism is the norm there, as long as you've got the guns to protect yourself from its results.
