We’re NOT #1!

suprise. suprise.

Yeah…but if they put “military spending” on there….

Why is it that some people are so anxious to knock America down? It’s almost as though you get some kind of pleasure out of it.

Yes, we are likely not #1 in everything. Clearly that would be unattainable - you cannot focus on everything. However, I bet if you calculated most placements in the top 10 (or some similar metric), you’d find the U.S.A. on top - there’s nowhere I’d rather live.

What Billda said.

I’ve been lucky enough to meet people from all over the world, having lived in South Florida and New York. And I can attest there is no other group as hateful towards their own country as Americans. Well, some Americans - a small group actually but still disturbing. Those who are here from another country are for the most part very proud of where they come from. They celebrate their heritage, they’re happy whenever a fellow compatriot is successful at something, they’re eager to share their culture and history to anyone who’s curious, and they’ll defend their country against any unjustified ill words.

They’re not wrapped up in the politics of it, they just love their country. And no, I’m not talking Nationalism here, I’m simply talking love of country. There is a massive difference between the two.

So listen up, America hatin’ Americans, this is YOUR country. This is the land that saw you being born, that saw you growing up, that took you as a son. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?

Putting politics and government aside, why is it so hard for you to just love America?
