That is interesting. Why WOULD that make someone nervous?

You have to realize that to the Left, the proper attitude for America is to be down on its knees, head in the dirt, apologizing to every two-bit thugocracy or senile nation for our own existence, while flooding the world with all the goodies they can't come up with on their own. An imposed slave mentality. There is nothing a parasite hates worse than the productive.

Have you ever noticed how much the Left seems to be dedicated to destroying any vestiges of positive self-image America or its citizens have?

The last thing they want to see is a nation proud of its principles, its history, and what it has done for its citizens and the rest of the world. You cannot control someone who has self-esteem. In the presence of a leftist, even this last sentence would bring a flood of examples of all the awful things America has done.

Why do you think presidents like Reagan give liberals hives, while "humble" presidents like Jimmy Carter get approval?
