Question for liberals.

[Sgt Staples]

It seems to be that Liberals in general enjoy and get much glee out of criticizing the United States. Point out what Russia is doing, hell they say America has done worse; Point out how in America people under a private health plan can pick their own doctor, and they'll say what a craphole we are because we don't have government run health care for EVERYBODY (to hell with freedom of choice. I guess.) Point out that people shouldn't be able to be forced to pay for things they don't want so that others can get them cheaper, and you are accused of DENYING health care to women,

We have a president who went around the world and criticized American for being arrogant, of using more than our 'fair share' of energy, of starving other people to enrichen ourselves.

It is no wonder why the world is laughing at us; we elected an president who doesn't like his own country, and is working actively to cut us down to size. How stupid is that?

You don't like the country. Or...at minimum, a huge swath of it. Therein lies the difference. The ACTIONS of the nation are up for criticism. And that is the bulwark to the freedom of speech you say you fought for.

Bothersome, no?

Mittens was just busted on this whopper Sarge. You may want to tuck that one back in.

Romney, March 23: "Our esteem around the world has fallen. I can’t think of a major country, it’s hard to think of a single country that has greater respect and admiration for America today than it did five years ago when Barack Obama became president. And that’s a very sad, unfortunate state of affairs."

The Pew surveys released in July 2013 — the latest available — found that half or more of those surveyed in 2013 expressed a favorable opinion of the U.S. in 28 of the 38 nations polled. That’s markedly better than under Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush. In its 2008 poll, Pew found only nine of 23 nations polled reported half or more residents with a favorable opinion of the U.S.

Bruce Stokes, director of global economic attitudes, Pew Research Center, July 26, 2013: In the fifth year of the Obama presidency, the United States’ image remains strong around the world compared with the last years of the administration of President George W. Bush.​

One of Matt Groening's pledges...


I pledge allegiance to and wrap myself in the flag of the United States
Against Anything Un-American and to the Republicans for which it stands,
two nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and
justice for all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions,
Communists, welfare queens, treehuggers, Feminists, illegal immigrants,
children of illegal immigrants, and you if you don't watch your step.

You're doing exactly what I though you would do. You are a sap for Bullcrap.

Mitt was absolutely right. Apparently we need a fact check to fact check fact check. Oh I forgot, fact check is just another of Obama's propaganda a organs.

>>>America has been arrogant, admits Obama<<<

The United States had "shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" towards its allies, he said. His speech in Strasbourg went further than any US president in history in criticising his own country's actions while standing on foreign soil.<<<

That's just one example. There are many others.

And then Moo-chelle necessarily has to point out what a rotten place this used to be.

>>>Michelle Obama Tells the ChiComs How America Used to Discriminate Against People Like Her and Her Husband<<<

She told a ChiCom audience that not long ago, that there were actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like her and her husband

I wonder, I really wonder if Michelle Obama knows that you can't even move from the country into a city in China unless you have a permit and that getting a permit is dependent on many things which are discriminatory.

I wonder also if Michelle Obama even knows that every single one of these laws that discriminated against blacks like her and her husband were written, enacted, and enforced by Democrats. Every damn one of them, and I will bet you that she doesn't know that.Once again, it's just more of the same.

The Obamas spreading out all over the world, heralding what has been wrong about this country, what the native inherent faults have been and essentially apologizing in one way or another.

Now quit trying to change the truth. I'm getting really tired of wasting time proving you wrong. Pretty soon now, I'm going to be forced to put you on ignore.

Actually, the US is measurably much more well regarded today than before Obama took office. See the Pew Global Attitudes Project poll numbers. Facts matter.

Obama, as most liberals are, is delusional. Guess that includes you. It is a leader's job, especially when overseas, to not criticize, but praise one's nation. But whether it's at home or away, in Obamaworld and liberal land America is a crap hole of unfairness, wealth inequality, a bully militarily, a energy hog, and the root of much of the world's evil.

Now that doesn't do a whole hell of a lot for the national morale. And it leads to a lot of societal angst and division.

But then again, Obama things that Putin invaded Ukraine because he's weak. I guess that means that Ukraine got invaded because they are strong. As I said; he's delusional

Bullcrap, we have lost the respect of just about every world leader. Syria, Egypt, Iran, Libya, Russia are all crapping on Obama and mocking him. Pew can take it's poll a stuff it. Hell, it's no secret what current world conditions are.

And they are going to get worse, North Korea is shooting missiles over the South, Iran is going full bore on it's nuclear program, Syria is continuing the atrocities, Our ambassador in Libya was killed and not a damn thing is being done about it. Etc. Etc. Etc.

I know Sarge, Mitty Rich doesn't like fact checking either. But Pew was the most accurate polling company in the last election so i'll take their numbers over your hatred.

Btw, the "apology tour" was another whopper. You're not starting out the day particularly well.

CNN - Conclusion:

Romney's claim is false. The president has mentioned past U.S. mistakes and flaws during speeches about the larger issues of building bridges to other countries. But he has never apologized or gone on an "apology tour."

The United States IS an energy hog. It IS a bully military.

Still, you despise the makeup of the country you say you love. You place your bias onto what a "leader" is...and somehow believe praise and praise alone gets the job done. And you're a Sergeant???

To you, a "good" citizen, America is a cesspool of liberals, muslims, Feminists, blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, communists, welfare queens, treehuggers, illegal immigrants and children of illegal immigrants. You despise the nation.

I'm a huge Groening fan. Having lived ten years in Portland where he grew up, the city has "Simpsons" written all over it from street names to everything else.

His Dad was a very successful advertising guy, cartoonist and filmmaker.. museum downtown largely in his honor. And up until the mid-90's when Homer died, his Mom and Pop were still listed in the phone book. Homer and Marge Groening - Beaverton, OR.

How many times has Sarge said something GOOD about America.....

and how often does he say "America is going to hell" or "America is going to collapse"???

Portland, OR: Home to The Simpsons
by Anna Johns, posted Oct 8th 2006 9:33PM

I've lived in Portland, Oregon for nearly five years and one of the first things I learned when I moved here was that this city claims The Simpsons. Creator Matt Groening is from Portland and many of his locations and characters have Portland roots (at least, that's what Portlanders like to say). The photograph in this story is of a 'Bart' that Groening drew in the cement near his alma mater, Lincoln High School, where he graduated in 1972. The drawing is not from his high school days, he just returned to town and drew it when The Simpsons became popular (it's on the corner of SW 18th and SW Salmon near the Goose Hollow MAX stop, in case you're in town).

References to Portland abound in The Simpsons. Here are a few:

• The Simpsons live on Evergreen Terrace, the same street on which Groening grew up;
• Sideshow Bob Terwilliger shares a name with Terwilliger Boulevard in SW Portland (Groening swears it was unintentional);
• The former Trojan Nuclear Plant, north of Portland, supposedly inspired Homer's job (watch it implode);
• Ned Flanders was named after Flanders Street, Mayor Quimby was named after Quimby street;
• Bart & Lisa's elementary school resembles Groening's childhood school, Ainsworth elementary;
• Groening chose Springfield for The Simpsons' hometown because the Anderson family on Father Knows Best lived in Springfield, which Groening thought was the Springfield that is just down I-5 from Portland. Of course, it was also chosen for its ambiguity.

The US is always facing defiance from some other leaders. Russia defied us in Georgia during the Bush adminsitration and in Chechnya during the Clinton administration and in Afghanistan during the Reagan and Carter administrations, and so on. They've done something similar during every adminsitration going back to FDR, with the possible exception of GHW Bush (when they were preoccupied by their own collapse). Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and on and on. It's just their nature, and can't be attributed, by any sane person, to a lack of respect for Obama, specifically.

As for Pew, they collect the data. The data is consistent with similar single-country polls conducted by other organizations. If you don't like what the data says, that's because it contradicts your false assumptions. When reality and your prejudices conflict, you need to decide which one will fall by the wayside.

Yep, Pew was the most accurate pollster in the last election. But Sarge prefers truthiness to facts.
