I'm Choosing Best Answer ! ! ! ! !

:) thank youu .

Answer 1

Yes.  I am proud to be an American.

Answer 2

When you think about being an American instead of being.. (a citizen of some other country) what comes to mind?

Capitalism?  

A system of government that is not static or ruled by a dictator?

The freedom that there is not a class system and anyone from the most humble beginnings can mature into any job?

that the flag is pretty ? (jt)

A paper like this can be successful by comparing what you know of America with the quality of life in another country.  

To start out, you might say something like...

     America is based on a system of freedoms that allow each individual to be the best they can be.  Our government, although not perfect, is able to change and grow with the changing needs of the population.  This paper will detail some of the clear differences between the rights and responsibilities of an American and those from <other country>.

good luck

Answer 3

What if you're not proud to be American? Is that allowed for an essay? If not, you will need to regurgitate all of the Republican whacko nonsense being spewed forth  for your essay to dumb it down for the teacher grading it.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

I am proud to be an American because while this nation may not be exactly what I would like in some ways, anything is possible here. We can criticize our nation and make it better.  

Answer 7

People risk everything to come here, and hardly anyone, no matter how much they claim to hate America, leave. As Richard Jeni once said America... 20,000,000 illegal aliens can't be wrong.

Answer 8

Im not. America is full of rude athiests. We dont stick together. We hate each other. God has left this country and we are fixing to pay for it. No more help no more love no more freedom. The next generation is worse than the last chasing money for nothing. Then you die. Noone wants to make a difference anymore. fight for each other for whats right. Its all about being selfish. me. me. me. Thats all we ever here. its sick. we the people still have the power. and with great power... you know the rest.

U.S.A. 4 EVER

Answer 10

Best country and freedom.  

Answer 11

Even though most of the tenants that our founding fathers were taken from others. We have one of the best Constitutions around. We have more freedoms than most other countries. {of course we are giving them up way to easily}

I am proud to be American based on our founding fathers beliefs, I am ashamed of America on what our leaders are turning it into.

I will not say the pledge of Allegiance. Mine allegiance goes to a much higher power and this is not what most would consider their God.

If you want something to be proud of Read the Constitution, the Gettysburg address and a host of others.
