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

[WinterBorn]

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.)

The USA is one of the first on the ground at any natural disaster, even if it is our enemy who was hit by an earthquake, typhoon or hurricane. Our naval forces provide quick response and great resources for humanitarian aid.

That is one thing you can be proud of.

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.

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.

We're not living in poverty or starving and aren't constantly affected with diseases. (Most of us anyways)

Give it time, Biden is working on it.

Why do leftists always ignore the fact that hundreds and thousands from around the socialist paradises are desperate to get here and not the other way around?

If this country was so racist and imperialistic and tyrannical why aren't the black people desperately trying to leave and why are there over 40.000 negro millioniares in such a racist country?

Never mind. The left are too pathetic to answer those. They are rhetorical anyway.

Those numbers suck. For every person who immigrates here from a socialist country, we should be sending two left-wing Democrats back to those countries.

I actually want to send them to hamas Palestine with their gay flags and see how they do. See how they do explaining to them about their views on transgenders and homo marriage.

Why don't you ask one of the thousands of people clamoring to get here from other countries? The United States may not be perfect, but as far as I can tell, it's better than just about every other option out there.

I guess I just find it hard to believe that a person could think about the subject and not be able to come up with one measly thing to be proud of regarding their country.

Especially this country.

 

[Road Runner]

To hear the left tell it, they are always sick and need medical care, those fat ducks need to start eating healthy and work out

I'm not part of the left, if you're referring to me that is.

 

[Theowl32]

Landing on the moon was the last great thing we did.

Hello you little weakling. Are any of you brainwashed idiots ever going to acknowledge the 10 native American tribes that fought for the confederacy and owned slaves?

Oh that's right....

I keep forgetting every group other than people who have pale face are too stupid to know owning slaves is wrong. No wonder you weakling never express disgust over red skins owning black skins.

I keep forgetting how stupid minorities are to weaklings like you.

Allow me to retort.

Go fuck yourself.

Problem with kicking your ass is it would be too easy.

How about Murica's free citizens giving away more money to charitable organizations than the rest of the world combined?

Tithes are hardly something to be proud of.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

One of the many psycho things about the left wing bigots is that they enjoy all of the benefits of living in the country that they loath to the bitter depths of their souls.

Are you under the impression that all charitable donations in this country are compulsory?

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

Even ex-slave Frederick Douglass gave our all-white forefather's kudos for creating the template for every man's freedom and dignity to be eventually realized!
That's good enough for me!!

Be proud that, in America, you can earn millions of dollars by publicly HATING America ... and not get thrown in jail.

 

[whitehall]

Americans who have to search for validation of America's pride are a sad bunch. Thank you democrats for the government sponsored education system that taught generations of kids to put a condom on a banana and nothing much else.

No, I giggle that maintaining a hierarchical religious structure can be deemed charitable.
