Liberals Love America

, , , ,

Michael Medved, back at college, used to be a liberal. Michael got wiser as he grew older.

Some partisans on the left… (resist being described as unpatriotic), insisting that they love the United States just as much as any right winger. The distinction, progressives regularly aver, involves their affection for a perfected America that might, through hope and change, come into existence sometime in the future, or else their nostalgic reverence for an America that once was, but ceased to exist through some malevolent influence (greedy businessmen, the religious right, conniving conservatives, take your pick).

Anyone with a modicum of experience in human relations will tell you that a devotion based on what your love object might become, or may have been in the past, is a suspect and toxic form of affection. If, in a moment of insecurity, a wife asks a husband, Honey, do you love me? the last thing she wants to hear is, Actually, I love the idea of you if you changed completely. In other words, its not advisable to tell the woman in your life that you’d adore her if she’d only lose fifty pounds, submit to liposuction and breast augmentation surgery, get a new set of gleaming white caps for her teeth, and complete a post graduate degree so she’d offer more intriguing conversation.

Wow. What a load of bullshit this site is. I came here because of the big alligator story and stayed for the nauseating right-wing nonsense. Here’s an idea, little fella: turn off Rush and Foxnews and get out of your mom’s basement for a while. Criticizing US policy isn’t unpatriotic, you twat. It’s the ultimate in patriotism. I suppose Jefferson, Washington and others were unpatriotic when they complained about taxation without representation? They should have just accepted it otherwise their love for their nation would have been “toxic”. Michael Medved is an imbecile who should stick to (badly) reviewing movies. And you, sir, should take a shower and do some sit-ups and stop beating off to photos of Ann Coulter (she’s gross and her cunt smells). Thanks and regards.
