It seems to me that when a liberal criticizes something about America, such as involvement in losing wars, the Conservative rallying cry is “America!! Love it or leave it!!” ”You don’t like it here, get out!!” ”Try living in Russia, you treasonous bastard, see how you like living with your fellow Commies!!”
But when people like the Tea Party criticizes Obama, or healthcare, or school lunches, we concede they’re doing so because they are super-patriots, folks who love a Christian God they fear (imagine that!), waving flags and driving cars covered with “These Colors Don’t Run” bumper stickers.
Why shouldn’t they love it or leave it themselves?
