Spot's diary about hating Amercia really just pissed me off, and my response is too long for a comment
I Opposed the invasion of Iraq
I support national health care
I support more environmental protection
I support gay marriage
I support a womans right to choose
I oppose the death penalty
I support labor unions
Why?? Because I care about this country! I want it to do the right thing, be the best place to live in the world, and be respected, not feared or hated, by the rest of the world.
All the conservative spin about how liberals hate America is just sickens me. Sure America is not perfect, but when I point it out, it is so we can fix the problem, not to insult the country. I take all the positions I listed about becuase I think they are best for the country and the world. Even if I am wrong, and all the positions are bad for the country, at worst that make me wrong, not a traitor.
If I really hated the country I'd be a republican since I think they are wrecking the country
