Contempt for America is so central to leftism that there would be no leftism without it.

Leftists have a Marxist understanding of history whether they know it or not. Hatred, not contempt, for the United States, as the strongest free market economy in history is axiomatic.

Lefties have a serious emotional problem, because they deny humanity and human history. They think that they're so 'clever' with their defiance of everything good and positive, but really all they're doing is making fools of themselves, and we're finally beginning to push back.

Ask a Leftist to 'smile' and you'll get a grumpy scowl ... ask a normal person to smile and you'll get a bright happy grin. Herein lies the difference ;)
