Why do Rick Santorum and the GOP hate America?
I just caught a repeat broadcast of Jon Stewart's interview of Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) last night on the Daily Show.
Why is Senator Santorum so negative about American culture and American citizens who are paying their taxes, living in families, and raising children?
I got the firm impression that Rick Santorum doesn't think that Americans have very good core values. He clearly thinks little of American culture.
Why is the GOP so DOWN on America?
I'm a liberal: I love my life, my friends and neighbors, and I LOVE my country!
I love our newspapers, our writers, our musicians, and the ordinary people who work and play in our cities and country locales.
I love subways, public schools, Central Park in New York City, and my own local grocery store.
I love all the languages I hear on the bus and on the street corners of my small suburban hometown.
I love the foods I've eaten from all over the world in delis and restaurants in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Port Huron, MI.
I love the quiet mornings I've walked on the beach with suburban moms who are my friends in Connecticut.
I love all the proud people I know: My family members in the military, my friends in Colorado, Nebraska, Arizona, California, Alabama, and Indiana.
I've lived in cities, on farms, in suburbs, and in the mountains of America. I've loved and respected the values of the people I've met as I've moved from the east to the west, and north to south.
Some of these people are atheists; some of them are evangelical Christians or Orthodox Jews. They come from all sorts of ethnicities and racial and religious backgrounds.
They are straight and gay. They are rich and poor.
They are all Americans.
Their values are my values.
I love baseball and women's soccer and basketball.
I love the private school my older kids go to. I love the private and public universities I attended. I'm proud of the grants and loans I received and the jobs I worked to make it through my education.
I love being American.
I think we Americans do a GREAT job raising our kids, whether we are married, divorced, or single.
I love American music. Jazz and R&B and country music. I love American theater and ballet.
I think our culture is magnificent and fed from the cultures of the many countries that our first generation citizens carry with them when they come here.
I love America and I am positive about the worth, the humanity, and the wonderful complexity and richness of American culture.
Why do Rick Santorum and the GOP belittle American culture and American values?
I find Santorum's values so unpatriotic and unproductive.
Why is he so negative on America?
Why do Rick Santorum and the GOP hate American culture, American families, and the American citizens who make this country great?
