To use a metaphor: A good parent does not blindly think their kids perfect angels while they run the streets committing petty vandalism and stealing from stores, they see their kid's shortcomings as a reflection of their lapses in their parental duties and take the time to address the bad behavior with appropriate criticism and punishment. Similarly a good citizen does not think their country is always right and good when it is plain that it is not. A good citizen loves their country enough to be critical and demand better.
Painting yourself as 'a good parent' looking at his child?
I'm certain any child would grow up secure and loved with a parent who claimed "has not [behaved] in a way that makes us look like a just and moral country in decades."
No, you have revealed yourself to be simply a boilerplate America hater.
And a government school grad....true?
Conservatives hate the government and most of the people who live here, how can you lecture me on love of country? You can't, conservatives only love the patriotic/militaristic image they have of America and not the actual country.
She accused me of being a gov't school graduate, too, because I had to educate her on the different branches of the military each having its own war college. Actually, I am a government school grad. Anybody who attends public school and/or a state college is.
