When did it become wrong to be proud to be American?

Question

It seems that no one is Proud to be American anymore. That all you hear is we need to be one world.

Answer 1

I am proud to be an American and anyone who has a problem with it can get the h**l out of my country.  Also if you come here from another country don't try to change mine to be like yours. If yours was so great you should have stayed there.  Also when in Public speak in english.  You are free to keep your heritage but at the same time you should respect your new country and it's heritage.

Answer 2

i think that most of those that are not proud are probably cowards. a cowards defense is always anger without reason.

Answer 3

I completely disagree.

I am not proud of the actions of our elected officials, but there is little doubt that the US is still the best country in the world.

If you travel overseas and talk to people, they will still tell you that the US is where they want to go.

Answer 4

Maybe where you live, but out here we still have pride in our country. Not our administration but our country!

Answer 5

I'm proud to be an American. I may not like or agree with alot of actions taken by our elected officials, but that doesn't create any burden on the fact that I love our country. There is nothing wrong with having pride in where your from. Yeah, I wish alot of things were different right now, but you still have to maintain your love

Answer 6

that is untrue.  if you say that those who are critical of those in office are not proud Americans then you are sadly mistaken.  i am a proud America, but i think the most American thing you can do is be critical of those in power.  following blindly is NOT America.  therefore no one is being American by questioning the motives and criticizing the government, they are doing a duty to our great country by keeping those in power in check.  if you become too content and gullible then you are handing over your own freedom.

Answer 7

It's not wrong , it's just become a little harder.

Leaving party politics out of it , honestly.

This administration has done more to harm the credibility  of the country here & abroad  in so many ways as to cloud the ideals that we were once able to take pride in.

Answer 8

When it started making people feel uncomfortable. Which is complete BS. You should be proud to be American. If you're not and you hate it so much then get the h**l out. People are so scared of making others uncomfortable that it is getting out of hand.

Answer 9

I'd like to save country pride for a country whose views, religions  and goals dont differ much from household to household unlike the US where we cant make up our minds about how to beleive in anything or how to go about alot of conflicts without mentioning taxes or racism. Not to mention we suck at everything we do...just about.
