Outsider:  You propose that those of us "libbers" would certainly agree with you if we only "cared."  We disagree, ipso facto, we must not care.  You state " They simply cannot stand someone who is different in thought and expression than they are. '  Nothing could be further from the truth....tolerance and compassion are mainstays of liberal thought.  You brand us as "not (being) patriots", and "not caring for the poor or disenfranchised."  You give me the impression that you know little of the history of liberalism or of our country.  Have you ever heard of FDR?  Have you no recollection of the Civil Rights Movement? Have you no knowledge of the Progressive Movement of the late 19th and early 20th century?  
Ironically, you say "If they did, we would see countless comments and opinion pieces on the policies that we should have and how to improve the ones that we have" while the Democrats seek to improve the ACA and the GOP works to simply repeal it.
