Republicans Hate America

Isn't it time to ask why the Republicans Hate America?

That's exactly what they did the moment any Democrat criticized Bush.

We were called "Traitors", and every name under the Sun.

Now that their policies have brought us to the brink of full fledged Depression they're trying to sabotage every attempt to bring us back to financial health.

I guess they really do Hate America.

At FiveThirtyEight.com, Nate Silver has a post titled, "Intellectual Dishonesty (Gasp!) from a Conservative Economist".

He goes on to -- well, let me quote the opening paragraph: "I've referred you guys to Greg Mankiw on a couple of different occasions. He is a highly-respected economist at Harvard University who was the head of the outgoing President Bush's Council of Economic Advisers. Mankiw is a pretty good benchmark for "smart" conservative economic thought -- which, being a University of Chicago economics grad, I have a healthy degree of respect for. If Mankiw's article in today's New York Times is any indication, however, the conservatives are out of good reasons for opposing Barack Obama's stimulus."

For the rest, just go to the source and read the article.

Good stuff.

As one commentor said, "Ideology can drive an otherwise rational person to destroy the very thing he supposedly loves... some conservatives would rather see the country suffer than let people see someone else help it....".

So, Conservatives hate any vision of America that does not jibe with their "vision" -- even if it works.
