I am proud to be an American. Are you?

Question

Anti-Americanism must stop. I mean, people are actually comparing the USA to n**i Germany. Okay, our government and president sucks (of course, we all know that from all the media)! But it seems as though people only highlight the flaws of our nation and just judge us by that. Our country invaded Iraq and killed innocent civilians (Wasn't it Al Qaeda who set out to kill as many Shias as possible to create a civil war?), but does our nation really deserve the much hatred? Have a glance at Darfur in the Sudan. We are the biggest feeder on the planet, the biggest charitable giver on the planet and the most productive country on the planet. Where else in the world does a country turn $1 in crude oil into $110 in goods and services? Why would millions of Mexican immigrants come to the US, if our country is like n**i Germany? Why would my parents from Columbia and Mexico emigrate to the US if they didn't think it was a better country to live in?

Answer 1

Yes I am, I'm Mexican-American and very proud.  My parents were born and raised in mexico, after they married they came to the U.S.. They taught us well, they never were on any govt assistance, they are old school, they worked very hard and gave us what they could.  Nowadays. the immigrants come here and get on welfare and cheat the system, does it upset me, h**l YES!!  The Mexican flag that people have on their cars or hanging from their homes need to go back to mexico if they are going to represent like that.  I hang my American flag with much pride.

Answer 2

I saw an appropriate bumper sticker for my answer:

I'm HAPPY to be an American  -

Just not particularly PROUD at this point

Answer 3

Hah! The fact of the matter is not a single one of you are "American." Each and every one of you are U.S. citizens, 14th amendment statutory slaves, who just happen to be located on the North American continent. An American is anyone from the southernmost island of South America to the northernmost shelf of North America who is NOT connected (contracted) in any way, shape or form to the rogue, bankrupt, warring governments and/or regimes that overlay it.

The original Indian tribes were "Americans," and some still exist in South America outside the purview of any national government.

U.S. citizens have no lawful money of account (gold and/or silver coin) and absolutely no allodial title to land. They also imprison more of their own people than the USSR ever did. U.S. citizens are governed by the Bankruptcy Trustees who hold the Note on the insolvent United States. And the U.S. citizen loves to have it that way so long as they can have a Socialist Security Number to work and play and some day extract their socialist security payments to continue on with their slave mentality. You've turned your backs on God long ago, so now you get the Pope along with the Society of Jesuits to mark you "outside the presence of the Lord."

Here, maybe this will help for starters:

Good day

Answer 4

Good for you. Notice that no matter how much Americans complain, they still stay here because they know there's no place better.

Answer 5

600,000 dead Iraqi's,lies about WMD's,ignoring new orleans,electing a president with the IQ of a housefly,dropping two nukes,getting ready to bomb Iran,sucking every drop of oil out of Iraq before leaving them to a civil war,killing JFK,lying about Roswell,treating black people like dirt,hoarding most of the wealth,the death penalty to prove killing is wrong(my personal favorite),bringing down your own buildings.I could probably go on all night and part of tomorrow but I'm getting tired. Anti-Americanism is brought on by yourselves.

Answer 6

What have you done for your country today?

How many neighbors have you helped in any small way. Are you a volunteer in any community project ?

If not, go back to your TV.  Or better yet COLLEGE! (if you can get in...)

EDIT: You notice that people from Scandinavian countries would never give up their citizenship to move here...anymore. Better government, better education (free), better pay and better health-care for all = better future. Unfortunately, they won't let us move there easily...like Canada you have to have big bucks or a serious education to get in. The US has lower standards because they need low wage earners!!

Answer 7

If you only compare yourself to third world countries, than America will not have the motivation to improve itself.  I'm not anti American, but I am a crtique.

Answer 8

I am proud of everything that I am.  I am proud of everything I went through and everything that I did.  I am a beacon of altruism.  I AM AN AMERICAN

Answer 9

I am absolutely proud to be an American. Not an African-American, Italian-American, Latin-American, or any other foreign American, but instead just a solid resounding AMERICAN.

People need to remember what this country is truly founded on, human rights of the people. Every other citizen of this world wants to be here.

Answer 10

Sure.

Why not?

Even not being one too.

What do you think?

Answer 11

"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."

Answer 12

America is no where as nice as n**i germany was.

Answer 13

As part of the American youth, and as part of the generation taught to only believe in extreme love, or extreme hate towards the government, I think I'm one of the few to just be a little bit grateful for what I've got. Sure, I'll complain just like the next teenager about not having some crappy pair of shoes, but part of me IS thankful to have the mere ability to complain at all.

America is made up of the people in it, not just the people who run it.

Answer 14

I understand where you're coming from, most people forget that for every negative there is a equal positive.

Answer 15

Do you blame them?its true?Sometimes I"m not proud to be American,we supposedly live in a free country but Americans are the most greedy,narrow minded and biggoted people in the world,many Americans say were free as long as your just like me and if not I will hurt you ( and oh" keep those people away from our children ya know the ones that are purists now and produced lazy,spoiled,worthless kids?)is the attitude of alot of Americans,so no" sometimes I"m not proud to be American,if we get another Republican president (who is a fascist if you ever read the 14 characteristics that define one") I will seriously look into immigrating to Canada,BTW most civilized countries Canada,the UK,Germany have surpassed the US on civil rights issues etc.The US also incarcerates more people than any other country molest someones children and get a 2 yr sentence but get popped selling a bag of marijuana and you can get 20 yrs. yrs in some states,the police can do anthing they want to you without a warrent of anykind even shoot and kill you and get away with it,if someone in a position of authority doesent like you or wants to silence you they can accuse you of being a Terrorist and lock you up indefinately without being charged with a crime or get a day in court, so were free? I dont think so.
