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

Thanks to those who didn't make asshole-ish assumptions about my political beliefs and motivations and just answered the damn question. Much appreciation.


When you throw such a charged question out there, you should probably expect some snarky replies.

Michelle "The Brute" Obama let us know she had never been proud of this country. Never. Till we elected Big Eared Barry as president.

That stuck in the craw of everyone that loves this country.
Or maybe people should re-learn common decency and not treat a geunine question like I just spit on their mother's grave.


Some may say common decency includes not asking if there's anything to be proud of in their country. Some look upon that as a rude insult vs a serious question. Some may feel spitting on their country to be near or on par with spitting on their mother's grave.

Come on. Surely you see this.
If people are that attached to their country that nobody can criticize it, they need mental help.


So- it WAS a critical remark vs a true query. I thought as much, and hey- knock yourself out.

You are insulting a large percentage of people that adore this country and believe it to be the best, while being able to admit to our faults over time. I'm one of them and didn't appreciate the post either.

No, it was a real question. I've been surrounded by so much negativity about America, I genuinely want to be reminded about good things about it.

You will have to go back half a century for that....may be more
 
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 cant be serious
 
I’m very proud of this country for telling Trumpsters to go fuck themselves in the last election.

America has never been perfect. Neither is any other place.

It's nice to get input from others, but surely a bit of thinking for yourself will bring to mind plenty of things to be proud about in this country.

So now you finally admit it was intended as criticism and you're really not as stupid as you portrayed yourself in the OP

The majority booted Trump's sorry ass out of office.

Another easily manipulated leftist

Nope, it was and is a genuine question. But people are too sensitive and throw fits over it anyways. Snowflakes.
