It just baffles me why so many in the media hate their country?????

The problem is they hate success because they have none. They don't view the U.S. as "their country". They view it as belonging to invisible people (successful "puppet masters" if you will) that they are jealous of. They see the success this country has had in it's brief history and look at other places around the globe (very often their ancestral homes) and it angers them. Why should the U.S. have so much when they individually don't and when other countries don't? They realize that the key to our success has been Constitutionally protected liberties that guaranteed that people's success was only limited by their drive and talent. Again, since they lack in both departments, jealously. Instead of being GENUINELY philanthropic and trying to emulate success (in their own lives or around the globe) by expanding liberty, it is easier (because they are lazy) and more satisfying (because they are spiteful) to try and tear down what you feel you can't have.

Or..... it could just be that they are idiots.

They were gonna let Hillary carry it but they were afraid she would steal it.

Or let it die a fiery death in some third world ****hole and then ask the question, Why does it matter.

Yes, the problem with the Left is that instead of growing the pie so more people can share the success the try to divide up the pie into smaller and smaller pieces so everyone has less. What did Churchill say about socialism and shared misery.
