My final thoughts that I have on this post. Why is it that the "liberals" are accused of wanting to see America fail when in fact they are simply pointing out what they believe to be failures in American national/international policy. I think there is a key difference here. Pointing out (what they believe to be) failures does not equal wanting to fail (or being unpatriotic or a traitor). In fact it is quit the reverse. They are doing doing this because they want to fix these (believed) failures to make America stronger. Besides some whacko fringe groups (on both sides I might add) I cannot think of anyone in mainstream politics who seriously wants to see America fail. We (they) are all Americans, we love this country, and we simply want to see that everything that can possibly be done to make America stronger is done properly. Sure, we may disagree but that doesn't mean that one side (or the other) wants to see the whole country fail over petty politics. But unfortunatly the neo-conservative machine (neo-cons, like Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, and Carl Rove) don't exactly paint the picture that way, and unfortunatly many people in this country are buy into what they are selling hook, line, and sinker. I'm not saying that the liberals are right (god knows they've made mistakes before) I just wish people would wake up and start paying attention to what is happening and think things through themselves once they have seen both sides of the evidence before they come to a hard and fast conclusion that the other side must be wrong and wants them to fail.
