High Crime in America. 47 million people without health care. Homeless Veterans. (From Vietnam and Iraq ) No justice for poor people. Black people get pulled over for Driving while black in white neighborhoods. Yes! Is this why I should be ashamed of the USA?

You have no idea how embarrassing it is to admit that when I go to France....I use the Canada excuse.

Because you're cowardly. Why do you let others intimidate you?
Did you know Americans are the most productive employees in the world? Did you know that 4 out of the 6 Nobel prize winners last year were American? Did you know that U.S. has the highest GNP in the world?
What's there to be ashamed of? Sure, we have problems, but what country doesn't? Even Tony Blair said you judge a country on the amount of people trying to get in versus out. So many people would love to come here. Why don't you trade places with one of them.

Because you are a liberal traitor. Please go to Canada and stay, then when you tell people you are Canadian you will be telling the truth. My guess is you will not do so because you enjoy making up evil treasonous lies, so you will never move away from the US. You will stay here and enjoy the protection provided by the people you demonize like all the Hollywierd liberals who screamed they would leave America if Bush was elected.

Because you, too, are the problem with the perception of the United States of America. Ever occur that you could change people's minds about Americans by example?
You should move to Canada, but doubt they would want someone so deceiving in character.

Because you obviously don't realize that in the USA we have it better than most of the world. I've traveled extensively and most of the people I meet think highly of the United States and would move here if they could.
By the way, your 47 million uninsured number includes illegal aliens and those who choose not to buy health insurance.

You might also consider the current occupant of the White House as reason for embarrassment.

You should never be ashamed of where you come from. Embrace your flag's colors. You're an American. If that makes people hate you than so what. We all need to stick together. We're "one nation under God", remember?

Because people from other Nations look at Americans as bullies.

If you lack the guts to be proud to be an American, I strongly suggest you emigrate.
I just wish we could swap you for some good people stuck in Canada who are not permitted to immigrate to the USA.
You and the rest of the socialist and liberals make me sick.
