Is there anything to actually be proud of the USA for?

[Correll]

Genuine question. Seems the US has done a lot of bad stuff, from meddling unasked in foreign affairs to its treatment of indigenous peoples. (Even the very, very conservative curriculum that was used for history class when I was in school acknowledged that we treated native Americans horribly.)
I want to genuinely know, is there anything I can be proud of my country for this independence day? (I'm at least happy that we're not socialist or communist.)

You should move. You CLEARLY don't deserve to live in this great nation.

Anyone who actually has to ask that, doesn't deserve to be here. The US has used it's might for more good than any other world power. If you don't know that, your history class was a waste of time.

Nope. You should just leave. That would make you proud.

Correll Here's a few. There's more, but I put those people on ignore.

Works for me thanks. In the first one you admit that you can't think of any reason to be proud of this country.


That is not "slightly criticizing". That is you stating that you dismiss EVERYTHING good that this nation has done and/or is.


I agree. If that is how you feel, why would you want to be a part of people like US?

Surely you would be happier being part of a nice progressive nation like Canada or France.

I was asking because I wanted to be reminded of the good, not because I believe there is no good.
I'm a centrist, my beliefs are a mixture of left and right. I was a moderate right winger until a couple years ago, now I'm just a full on centrist who leans very slightly left. My signature contains a brief summary of my political views if you want to know where I stand.

But again, telling people that they need to leave because they don't agree with you is anti-American, anti-free speech, and anti-freedom.

So, what is the first big thing that has come to your mind during this discussion, that you are proud of?

Lots....to add, I would hope we would be PROUD of admitting our mistakes and trying hard to correct them instead of trying to sweep them under the rug.

Wish that were the case.
But I will freely admit that some have actually answered my original question pretty satisfactorily. I don't believe the US is altogether bad or "was never great" or anything. I'm a centrist, my beliefs are between left and right, a mixture. I'm not so far gone that I believe we have nothing of value in this nation.

“I would hope we would be PROUD of admitting our mistakes and trying hard to correct them instead of trying to sweep them under the rug.”
You mean like elect a Kenyan president and give native Indians free land?

Freedom to peaceably practice religion, or not practice it.

Acceptable. I'll be keeping an eye on you. You start talking stupid shit about the country being wacist or some such retarded shit, and I call you on it.

 

[Godboy]

good lord, all you anti-America naysayers are depressing

Obviously anyone who disagrees with you is "anti-American."

Actually, that is anti-American

Agreed, so is wanting everyone who even slightly criticizes the US to leave.

Of course, no one is saying that. THat you had to lie about what people ARE saying, shows that you know you are on the wrong side.

.....have you read this thread? Again. Multiple. People. Have said either that I should pack my bags and leave, or that I don't deserve to live here if I had to ask the question posed in this thread. I will go back and quote posts if I have to.

You lefttards are not "slightly criticizing" the us. YOu are rabid anti-American assholes. With all due respect.

You're making broad sweeping assumptions about me based on, what? I have said nothing like what you are implying. I would thank you not to put words in my mouth.

Based on the fact that a pissed off conservative suggested you get the fuck out. I'm betting that you did say something that deserved such a response.

Let me paraphrase those conversations for you....

evenifigoalone says: "The US sucks"
Someone responds:" If you hate it so much, why dont you go to a better country?"

Then evenifigoalone complains that people are telling him to leave.

Or is it that you want to demonize us to absurd degrees, and then on top of that, blame US, for the breakdown in bi-partisan work relationships?


LOL!!!

 

[Who_Me?]

America is so racist we've never even had an American black as President but had to settle for the cheap Born in Kenya knockoff.

But it was the Great Obama who supposedly ushered in the age of a post-racial America.

Are you saying that the Great Obama was a failure? Because that's sure the way it sounded like to me.

It speaks volumes that the great post-racial Obama is living in Martha's Vineyard and not Kenwood (Chicago).
