Today while sitting at a cafe I heard someone saying "I didn't have a problem with Obama thinking that this country isn't the greatest on earth, but now I have a problem with him making that happen."
The issue I have with these people is not that they think that this country is the greatest on earth, it's that they think that it's perfect. In actuality there are problems at every level of society that need fixing. That is NEVER going to change, because things change, we move forward and if you forget that you get behind.

The second problem I have with them is that they contribute to the destruction of everything this country stands for, every time a conservative is president the economy gets destroyed, our freedoms are taken away, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
Where were these people when George Bush who presided in supposedly "good" economic times was running up 500 billion dollar budget deficits?
Where were these people when he tapped our phones?
Where were these people when that dictator wanted to know what web sites you visit?
Liberal and progressive are made out to be bad words, when the founders themselves were the lefty liberals of their time.
You know I'm originally from a country that's a conservatives dream. No taxes, very small government, no government run health care and you can buy all the guns you want. I wish they would all move there and see how there are no roads, how the electricity goes out every day, how when you have political fights it turns into gun battles, how if you get sick you're shit out of luck and how because of no government oversight there is NO middle class... you're either rich, or you're poor... and in most cases you're POOR. And if you read this and think I mis-represented anything please look up Lebanon, that's where I'm from. We left there for America because it is more fair, and the government is more effective, and you HAVE A CHANCE. That's not to say I don't love Lebanon, or my people, but if you compare governments there is no comparison.
