It seems to me that a lot of you are down on America? I'm proud of my country; I'm proud to be American. We have great lives...and for those of you that are going to disagree with me another question for you.
What are you still doing here? Why don't you go to Mexico or Canada and live?

Fadia, healthy criticism is great. Those aren't the people I'm talking about. I'm curious about the people that HATE this country, not just complain a little here and there. That is normal, we are all human, we all complain.

There are different types of love.
Some people love America like they love Mommy- Mommy is never wrong and anyone who puts down Mommy is evil.
Some people have a more adult version of love for their country- a love that accepts all of its faults and tries to make them better. My country right or wrong- when right to be kept right, when wrong to be made right.

i am also proud to be an American. i am not however, proud of our current president. the man cant even pronounce words correctly, and makes up words that dont exist all the time. and he's our president????? i thought that our president was supposed to embody all that is good about america. bush embodies greed, corruption, and stupidity.

Because they are able to complain without being tossed in jail like so many other countries.

They hate themselves. Complaining about the US gives their pathetic lives meaning.

They are likely more into self-hatred and feel a need to bash.
For U.S. bashers: How about bashing the person staring you in the mirror instead.

Don't you misread healthy criticism as hate?
