Our "liberal" friends have a real hard time with this.

Why did you put 'liberal' in quotes? You suspect we aren't really liberal?

The only person who has a hard time with liberals as loyal Americans appears to be you. We have no trouble ourselves.

I love America kind of like I love my husband. I adore them both, but I know sometimes they get something sub-optimally or even quite wrong. I know you agree with this as you seem apoplectic over the things you think America gets wrong--like electing President Obama.
