Why the Left Hates America

Over the last several weeks, I have had to ponder long and hard to determine why the lunatic fringe of the left has developed such a hatred of our President George Bush, and everything that he stands for. I first thought it was because they were against the war. Then I thought it was because of the many mistakes President Bush has made. Neither one of these made any sense, as the hatred they were showing wasn’t directed only at the President, but actually against all conservatives.

The hatred was directed against anyone that had any faith in God, anybody who dared showed deference to the flag or to a patriotic song. They directed hatred at all who even thought to oppose their views on the war in Iraq or on terrorism, and even went so far as to fling personal insults against those who have already had loved ones injured in the war.

To avoid a “flame war” with those who obviously have a ton of hatred stored up, I decided to ponder the question of why the loony left fringe really hates our country so much.

It took me a while. It took a long while. I was about to give up on my search until I realized I had been looking in the wrong area. I had been trying to figure out what America had done that deserved such hatred. I also wasted time trying to figure out how America had possibly failed them. Then I realized that it wasn’t anything America had done, or had failed to do, it was the idea of America itself that caused these people to feel such hate.

It is because America is faith, America is hope, and America is belief. And those who hate America, hate her because they have no faith, no hope, and no belief. They have no faith in America, her military, her leaders or her goodness. They have no hope for the future because they are so caught up in their own miserly lives. They have no belief in a higher power, regardless of whether that higher power is God or simply a higher plane of being.

And so, because they cannot stand the optimism that America brings, they attack her and anyone else who dares to show even the slightest support for her. They try to compare our President to the most evil men of the modern era, and they try to picture our country as the oppressors of the world.

However, I am here to tell you that they are wrong. Failure, for America, would be to compromise our ideals and our standards. Failure, for America, would be to kowtow to those who would see us destroyed. Failure, for America, would be to listen to the hatred of the lunatic left, and believe that they are the true representatives of our people.

America is the beacon of hope for the entire world. Millions of people, from every nation on this planet have the desire and the hope to one day come to America, and become Americans. If we lower our flag, if we slide down that slope that the lunatic fringes of the left want, then we will no longer be that nation of faith, hope, and belief. We’ll simply be yet another former superpower slowing sliding off into oblivion.

We, as a people, are better than that. We as a people, are more intelligent than those who blather. We as a people, are stronger because of our faith, our hope, and our belief. No matter what they say, we will endure, and we will remain strong
