Many of our early presidents were bad or weak as well. Most presidents have had some pretty major flaws.
I did not say liberalism IS hateful (I agree with most of it) rather that we have hateful liberals. I know it is a bit of an oxymoron but it is true. They will hurl insults at anyone disagreeing with them more than any other political entity I've conversed with and are extremelly difficult to debate with. They will spout information off as "facts" whilest having little or no proof but rather their own assumptions, imagination, or just something they saw online one day. The attitude of many of these are despicable which actually both helps and hinders their support. Michael Moore has a huge following because of his controversy, but if the same people who praise him as a genius delved a little deeper, they would find a lot of bullshit. At the same time, a lot of people hate him because of his negative attitude towards... everything he disagrees with. Good causes are being driven into polar opposites because of it.
With more observation of my comment, I will say Carnifex is right in a way. I think that we are dividing more and more as a nation into BOTH extremes. So I should have also added "Man, this country is becoming a more unaccepting, conservative society."
Sure, and conservatives are a bunch of bible-thumping warmongers who freak out at the very idea of homosexuality or any identity different than their own hypocritical "family values." They put so much blind faith in Bush that Congress not only passed the original Patriot Act but then upheld it as constitutional when any idiot can see it's a flagrant violation of the principles on which this country was founded. There are plenty of people who support Bush, but a lot of people hate him because of his rampant stupidity and brain-bleeding-inducing butchery of the English language.
As you can see, such generalizations can be made of both sides, and are fairly useless in a political discussion.
