I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.

Yes, I agree; though he doesn't have to insist. The right is his.

No I don't agree with it. It implies that complaining and whining help.
I would rather see it go something like, "I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to participate and try and make it better."
Criticizing, without suggestions or efforts to improve something, accomplish nothing, except to increase the hostility levels of those being criticized and those doing the criticizing.

That is so cool!! Of course, now people insist that patriotism means shutting up. And for those of you that don't get it, it's like a parent who loves a really intelligent, special kid. Of course the paresnt absolutely loves and dotes on the kid, but also has great expectations, and will critisize the kid to no end, yet when the child grows to be an adult, it willl all be worth it. The USA is defentitly not grown up, it is still a very younge country.

No.
How 'bout this one instead?
I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to actively use my talents and resources to make it a better place rather than sitting around b*tching, moaning and nay-saying about everything.

i think of I trust what grew to become into meant, and that i applaud anyone who speaks out- the greater well-liked the guy the greater desirable- they could attain greater people. yet, i does no longer say criticize, and that i does no longer say u.s.. i could say that each and each American has no longer purely the impressive, however the activity, to speak out while our modern-day LEADERS are actually not taking part in it quickly with the individuals. it particularly is the place some each and every physique is having worry making the excellence. Kevin M, case in point, calls it whining, and considers it unpatriotic to speak out while the leaders interior the government are being criticized, no longer u.s. itself. Has he in no way study the U. S. shape? Is it no longer suited for the individuals to speak out while the president ignores the written expertise of its words? Who does that make unpatriotic? This u . s . a . is great- and the great people of this u . s . a . have spoken. Kevin M is easily good while he says returned up the criticism with action. permit's see what we are able to do.

I agree and anyone that doesnt, doesnt understand the concept of America. It is your right to always question, even criticize. It is not whining to have an opinion that is negative, but is hypocritical to whine about whining.
