#9 Hating Other Countries

Though it is acceptable for everyone to hate Canada, conservatives will tell you they hate most other countries in the whole world--and for good reason--America kicks ass. Conservatives have a long history of hating the shit out of other countries. We need look no further than the "red scare", France, Mexico and their "dirty immigrants", and various European nations for being gay.

Whatever you do, don't attempt to disparage the United States' performance in any way (i.e. education, health care, environment, quality of life) to a conservative. They will immediately say, "Well there ain't no place in the world I'd rather be, that's for sure." And while that statement is fair, it is usually followed up by, "America is the greatest country in the world," which too often has less substance a conservative will lead you to believe to back up such a claim.

Time and time again conservatives rally around new ways to hate on other countries. You want let us force you into a stupid war? Bam! FREEDOM FRIES! And of course the lesser known Freedom Toast. Don't even try to Freedom kiss. Often at political rallies conservatives will remind everyone (that means you the rest of the world) how fucking awesome we are by mindlessly chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" even if it's because someone announced they had to go to the bathroom. Conservatives hate other countries so much they can't wait to invade the holy hell out of the next one. Will is be Iran? Will it be North Korea? Who knows. In return the rest of the world holds some level of resentment towards us for the attitudes, policies, and actions conservatives represent.
