In every way that is important to me.
I asked for examples. This country is not even remotely perfect and never has been. There are many in our society who do not agree with you at all. And here are MANY around the world that have had it with our imperialistic attitudes, stupidity, ignorance, arrogance and disdain for honoring treaties and pacts. There are many who tire of us meddling in their political process and "propping up" leaders that we think we can control or sway to serve our interests, no matter how much of a dictator or butcher he may be. Why can you not admit that this country is not the perfect shining beacon of whatever righty "by god" patriotism that you wear on your sleeve? This country is far from all bad, but we are also far from rightly owning our arrogance.
Why is it that people on the left seem to think that any aspect of their personality is devoid of their nationality and heritage. Its not a matter of blind faith but a simple basic human desire to hold yourself in self-esteem that is no different or any more harmful than one person having self-esteem in who they are such as being tall, rich, poor, musical, and etc and since a generation raised on Oprah told us that self-esteem is good I can't see why self-esteem based on one's home nation is the exception to the teachings of Oprah.
