One could make the same argument about right wingers, who want to make America great again. They hate America as it is, too many Hispanics, too many blacks, too many immigrants, too many gays, too much government, too much globalization, too much welfare, etc.. I think most liberals are far more satisfied with America than conservatives are today.During a debate with a leftist this morning, I was once again told how much better things are in other places, and that made me ask myself if liberals even like this country yet alone love it?
How great other countries have it is a leftist argument they make all the time. It's beginning to be almost as common as saying the right are racist, sexist, homophobes.
What crossed my mind this morning is something I never thought of before: conservatives never say how much better it is in other places. We have our faults, we have our differences, but you never read a conservative say our country is not as good as X.
Liberals are quite the opposite. They want us to change our healthcare system like "theirs." They want us to have gun restrictions like theirs. They want us to have an education system like theirs. They want us to have a government structure like theirs. They want us to have an immigration system like theirs. They want us to have a justice system like theirs. We should take most of the money from rich people like they do. We need to change our election system like theirs.
So I'm going to ask this question one more time even though I've never gotten an answer before: If it's so good "there" WTF are you doing here?
It's apparent that we on the right love our country and the left does not. So the question I have (especially to you leftists) is if you do even like this country? It sure as hell doesn't seem like it since you want to change every aspect of it.
Then why do they always point to other countries telling us how much better they are; how they do things so much better than we do; how they always have better results?
You don't see conservatives saying this country is better than ours or that country does things better than we do. Only liberals do that.
