That's kind of like saying, "I'd really love you if you were six inches taller, had blonde hair, blue eyes and a completely different personality." They hate what America is and they want to turn it into something else. There are already a variety of socialist countries in the world. Let them go...

I think it's funny. If people truly hate the US, then why don't they go live somewhere else? Surely there must be another country out there that they think is more moral, and more deserving of their presence.

She's trying to get me to run out and buy her a bottle of wine, but I ain't bitin'. :P

Let me pull one from your line of work and see if that helps. You design a building. An engineer looks at your design and tells you that the building won't stand. Obviously, that's a polarized viewpoint. He's not saying it might stand, or it will mostly stand, he's saying the darn thing's going...

It's so infuriating. It's like we're ashamed to be there. "Who was that masked liberator?"

If someone says that the Soviet Union was a worker's paradise and I say it was a worker's hell, those are polarized positions. How does the fact that they are polarized make both of them equally wrong?

Skippy is the joker.
