so i should be grateful to the liberals because they allow me to live in america. and i should be grateful because they allow the nazis and klukluxklan to march and to devise their plans.

Yes, you should. Because it’s those same liberties that allow *you* to learn Torah publicly. The same liberties that allow KKK members to march in the streets allow you to organize rallies and mass tefillah gatherings.

(BTW, when did freedom of speech become a “liberal” accomplishment?)

and i should be grateful to liberals because they promote immorality and abominations and atheism.

Oh please. There are plenty of liberals who do NOT promote immorality, abominations and atheism.

and also because they promote the mass murder of millions of innocent infants.

Again, please. Not all liberals support abortion-on-demand.

and how would you suggest i convey my gratitude to them?<./em>

How about by just acknowledging when they do good. That doesn’t mean you can’t criticize on opinions you don’t agree with.

For example, I’m no fan of abortion-on-demand and can criticize the feminist movement on that front – and yet be grateful for their accomplishments on the grounds of securing equal pay for equal work for women.
