No at best you have a sliver of a clue. That's why you argue off of semantics, and half the time over philosophic points applied with political science. Along with your concept that all the US government does is bad.
We can start with the fact that American Indians didn't call the Land America. It was named America by the Europeans. Specifically by Amerigo Vespucci.
Again a semantic about the US government being part of the Country. While it is true.....the people choose who they want for government of their country. Which means that government is a representation of the Country. Acting as the Country.
Yeah yeah you can dislike a part of movie while still liking the movie. But that's not what you do on political sites. As you don't just criticize part of what the government does. You criticize and dump on all it does. Everything it does. Which means then you are dumping on the Country.
Wrong you get called out.....by even young Republicans.....middle age Republicans. So there goes your lame ass theory about Mean Old Repubs always picking on you. (invoking your Victim Status) Oh and they aren't being dishonest or ignorant. Not for telling the truth and like it is.
You call yourself a Libertarian....I have actually tried getting a known Libertarian to come here(and I do mean known for a good 45 years) just so I could watch him tear your bull$#@! anti American rhetoric down and give you that mental check you deserve.
But it wouldn't last long you would tuck tail and ignore him. Then whine about the site and all those mean Old Repubs constantly calling you out.
