Why do liberals believe Obama's "certificate of live birth" with a bunch of inconsistencies related to it?
You must have missed the news that he is no longer President and this issue is dead in the water.
Why do liberals believe that life is supposed to be fair?
Life is not fair, never has been & never will be fair for all. But what is wrong with trying to even out the playing field to make it a lot more fair than it is now? You can't possibly not see that the rich are getting richer & the middle class is slipping into poorness, fast. One clue: look at the foreclosures in your city, look at the bankruptcies in your city. The inequities become larger every week & it is there for you to see. Read the job listings in your area, do you see a lot of jobs that are for factory work? For unskilled workers? Because I see this & don't happen to like it, why does this allow you to label me. I could lable you too, but you wouldn't like the label I might choose for you.
Do liberals believe the United States is a good country?
A2A. I think it’s a country just like any other. It has good parts and it has bad parts.I am not a patriot. This makes me rather unpopular with a great deal of Americans, who believe that patriotism is somehow necessary to be considered a “good American,” as if there were such a thing.Ironically, with most of these people, the most they’ve ever done to serve their country is go to the 4th of July parade and get blitzed. I was in the Peace Corps. That doesn’t make me a five star general, but I did get veteran status and I did take an oath to defend the Constitution and it is considered national service by the American government.And then I get these people who’ve basically done nothing for the US other than sit on their asses, watch HBO, and suck Twinkies telling me that I’m the bad American because I don’t rally around the damn flag when they wave it like they’ve got a bell and I’m Pavlov’s hungry dog.Pff.But, really, one man’s patriotism is another man’s nationalism, and nationalism is dangerous. I do think that one of the main problems with the US is nationalism that simply calls itself patriotism. Seriously, the amount of people who will start frothing at the mouth if you don’t agree that the US is the lovechild of Perfection and Righteousness is rather insane.They also tend to type in all caps a lot. As if the capslock button were the measure of country love.Do I dislike the US? No. The US does do a large number of things extraordinarily well. I see no reason to be ashamed to be American on a base level. It’s an attribute just like any other. It certainly colors my persona and my accent and my overall bearing (and my volume level), and I don’t see anything wrong with that.But do I think the US is inherently good? No. It’s a country.I also don’t think I’m an inherently good person, though. I’m just a person.I don’t see the world in terms of “good” and “bad.”
