And yes, I consider some of the misinformed right here on TFP to be unpatriotic enemies of America, not through intentional malice, but because they are being manipulated by a few for the political gain of a few.

Why are they this way?

Because it is too easy to sit behind a computer keyboard spouting polemics while intellectualizing why America is so bad instead of experiencing first hand that there are people who want to kill them and everyone they know simply because the ARE American and not of a particular religion.
LOL, we're misinformed and unpatriotic because we don't agree that people want to kill US citizens "simply because the [sic] ARE American and not of a particular religion."

Instead, we consistently post the historical basis for foreign nationals' hatred resulting from decades of imperialism that we seem bent on perpetuating. Yay, for rational discourse. Oh well, we've been combating your ilk with reason since the Enlightenment, so at least we're in good company.
