"If liberals are so patriotic, why do they tend to oppose ROTC and military recruiting?"

What is the connection between the military and patriotism?

"Why do liberals want foreign terrorists to have the same defense rights that accused criminals in the US have?"

We are a nation of laws. If you start sidestepping those laws for any reason at all, then we are no longer one.

"Why do so many on the left believe 911 conspiracy theories"

Selective attention, I suppose. Conspiracy theory wackos dot the entire political spectrum. 9/11 is no different. You'd have to make a case that those who subscribe to 9/11 conspiracy theories are largely leftist. You haven't.

"Why do liberals make silly charges like the US is trying to steal Middle Eastern oil?"

Umm, it isn't only the left that have made that charge.

"How do you square falsely accusing the US of crimes with claims of patriotism?"

False claims, you'd have a point. However, it hasn't been proven that all such charges are false. Or even most of them. Many of the charges have resulted in convictions...

So far, your "shattering" is going about as well as with the first one.
