Nice non-reply. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 09/07/2013 05:23:25 PM

For starters, government has everything to do with love our nation. If we are the "most free" nation in the world (I'll let others walk that road with you), it is because our government was built to make it that way, and has remained that way through the hands of every elected official since the beginning.

Conservatives answer polls like the one you linked this way because they know they are supposed to love America. They couldn't say what they love about it. Apparently, neither can you.

So if you love America, what do you love about it? You do love it, don't you?

I really don't want to get into the sickness known as nationalism (patriotism) imlad - 05/07/2013 07:10:09 PM 1163 Views

I've decided to pretend we're still entirely on the original subject Isaac - 11/07/2013 01:13:15 AM 963 Views

Actually, liberals say, let's make the US a socialist state and control everything people do. Anonymous2000 - 06/07/2013 04:54:00 PM 1024 Views
By what measure, I wonder... Dannymac - 06/07/2013 04:21:57 PM 977 Views

You'd have to list the study Isaac - 07/07/2013 12:10:13 AM 1103 Views
Every study. ranagrande - 07/07/2013 01:14:48 AM 1100 Views
Really, you have a list of every single study conducted on the matter? Isaac - 07/07/2013 02:51:05 AM 1109 Views

Were you actively trying to prove the point of your opponents there? Legolas - 07/07/2013 09:10:06 AM 936 Views
I hope you'll understand that I don't find that compelling Isaac - 07/07/2013 05:07:52 AM 1142 Views
