What makes you proud of America?

[ccodiane]

I'm proud of charitable contributions.......really proud! I'm proud of the concept of equality we've embraced. I'm proud of our great human diversity. I'm proud of the grocery store. I'm proud of the post office. I'm proud of the electric company. I'm proud of capitalism. I'm proud of the fact we don't lynch libs, even though they deserve it. I'm proud of the freedom, the vast freedom, we have. I'm proud of this country because we are a country of proud people. Individual pride baby, that's what it is all about..........learn it, live it, love it.

You don't need to be a patriot thats what the patriot act is for to keep you in line cause were all morally retarded so now the government is doing that for us as well. its just their way of saying we know better what is right for you.Rofl seriously though at least we have the freedom to bitch about our lack of freedom. God bless america cause the politicians are after us.

 

[medicineman]

sometimes your obstinance really pisses me off.

is it really so difficult to remember that you live in a country where you're actually allowed to bitch and moan about every little thing? you seem to be thankful for the fact that you can see a bit of relatively unspoiled nature from time to time, that you are allowed to own a gun and that you don't have to carry your own water and dispose of your own shit.

this is actually pretty minor shit compared to the fact that this country has always been there in time of need for even its enemies. this country is among the first to send aid to victims of famine and disaster, even though we know that we will be vilified as soon as our back is turned. how about the fact that, even with all its problems, people from all around the world flock to our shores for a chance at what you seem to take for granted. just the chance at u.s. citizenship is enough to make people risk they're lives and even those that know they'll have to live in the shadows once they're here are willing to give up all they own to cross into u.s. territory. you also seem to be ignoring the riches that allow this country to be so generous. have you forgotten the freedoms inherent in our society that allow all the people to share in our resources and prosperity instead of hoarding it for the few?

instead you seem intent on claiming that it is never enough. the political climate isn't to your liking, there is still suffering in the world, the wealth isn't spread evenly enough; seemingly oblivious to the abundance that surrounds us all. i've never really been one for jumping on the patriotic bandwagon with any great nationalistic zeal, but even i am at least a little bit grateful to be here instead of, oh let's say, iran or mongolia. instead of praise for this country, you would like to heap on it the blame for all of humanity's worst nature. if the u.s. were the only country going around blowing people up i'd surely join you in berating such a warlike attitude, but war is the chosen way of life for this species. if wars didn't pop up more frequently than dandelions in spring, i'd consider the u.s. to be the major threat to world peace that you seem to think it to be. the simple fact seems to be that humans are just a bunch of simple animals that want to go around beating each other over the head and, though the u.s. shows considerable restraint, we, as a people, ain't a whole hell of a lot better than anyone else.

I just want to say: I'm so sorry for pissing you off, NOT. If you were to take off those rose colored glasses you'd see that this country is the demon I espoused. Napalm, cluster bombs, Du munitions.and lest we for get two A-bombs on Japan. There are a lot of things left that are good for our citizens, but they are fading fast. Ten more years of the Bush agenda and we'll be the worst place to live on the planet and in eternal wars with more countries. The Idiocy of the Bush doctrine has no limits. This was a much better country before him, and much better before nixon, both which have fucked this country to tears. At least we shitcanned Nixon, but with the current government, we surely can't get rid of Bush untill 1/20/09. All you greedy bastards that voted for him to get your taxes lowered, I hope you see the error of your ways, if not maybe burning in hell would suffice.

as usual, you ignore the larger picture of humanity and vent your wrath on one of the few nations that has consistently espoused the notion of freedom for all people. though i don't agree with the concept of america as the babysitter of the world, there is something marginally noble about attempting to spread our version of liberty across the globe. while you vilify our government for its missteps, imposing the basest of intents upon them, you show only your own lack of empathy. in a world where genocide is commonplace, individual liberty is routinely crushed beneath the heel of cruel authority and rational thought seems the exception to the rule, you berate the very government that affords you those petty right you seem to feel entitled to. is it so odd that, while attempting to bring some semblance of sanity to this asylum, we should from time to time go a bit mad ourselves?
you expect so much - too much.

by the way -
have no fear, you are incapable of truly pissing me off. i am, in case you don't remember, a nonvoting and merely marginal member of this society. i am incapable of seeing this political morass as anything more than an intellectual exercise. my rose colored glasses were stripped from me long ago by the passionate intensity of the worst and replaced with this gaze blank and pitiless by those who lack all conviction.

Dear Under: You are an eloquent orator but misread my verbosity. I am glad to live in the USA, I just can't be proud of the government in any rational manner. We go around the world stripping other countries of their wealth and resources Just like the missionairies that came before us, all for the rich men that share power, the elites and the government, basically one in the same. When was the last time a commoner got to be Senator? Dennis Kucinich comes to mind.
The will of the people, what a joke. When was the last time Government asked you what you wanted? This is a beautiful and wonderous country, I love America, I'm just extremely dissapointed in the government of the USA.
Were it possible, I'd love to see the "people" take back the country, but alas the powers that be have pretty much made that a long shot with their military and private Army, Blackwater etc. And you thought Blackwater was just for fighting in foriegn countries,~LOL~.
The outlook for the USA in the long run, depends on what the people decide this election. The World is watching and judging. Our respect has been really tarnished in the last 7 years. Any hint of Election tampering will be met with Immediate world sanctions, from trade to honor, if we don't change our greedy ways, the world is going to exclude us from playing.
We've had viscious greedy governments in the past. From the Romans to the Capitalists. This government, the USA, is the quentessential candidate for the top position in greed.
Think about it. Rich men have the power and use it to make their lives easier. The system of capitalism offers those with good stature an opportunity to succeed, but eliminates the rank and file by virtue of availability on the success ladder. There are only so many slots open for success and those are controlled by those in power and their minions. To say it is corrupted would be a gross understatement.
The home of the brave and the land of the free is only half right now, we have some very Brave people in this country. I only wish the brave ones would get on the right side of reason.
No you certainly have misunderstood my position. I love my country. Even as a young man I gladly served three years in the Army, I thought it sucked, But stuck it out. I never liked forced discipline, militarism if you will.
I intend to enjoy as much of the freedom that there is left as long as I can, but as a harbinger of doom, I must say, the future looks dark unless greed takes a holiday.
Good day to you sir.

To see all the intelligent points in this forum reignites some of my faith in the intelligents left in this country.
It is not often at all that you hear a discussion of this magnitude and you will never hear it in the higherarchy of the more well to do circles.
The faith that we all have instilled in this country is still alive, the fact that we have something negative to say about it is beacause we have put forth our efforts as our forefathers have done in the past and for all our words and actions we find fall on def ears. And it fuckin pisses us off!
In our diplomatic and economic present day strife I find it hard not to have a negetive attitude twords things.
Though costitutionally god is mentioned 4 times.
Morality is the answer if you wait on god to fix things you will loose youre faith.

don't blame me, blame coolidge.

We go around the world stripping other countries of their wealth and resources Just like the missionaries that came before us....

sure, we join in the carnage. we deal with the powers that be (usually corrupt, but isn't that the norm?) and get the best deal we can for the resources to keep business in business. just as europe colonized the globe, america is spreading its ideological colonialism. it would be nice if people cared more about people than power, but that's not how it is. now is it? to blame government for safeguarding american interests abroad is to scapegoat it for actually doing part of its job correctly.

The outlook for the USA in the long run, depends on what the people decide this election. The World is watching and judging....

the judgment is already in and, no matter what happens, the world will not be on our side until we are of use to them again. believing in the infallibility of world opinion is buying into the idea that they are all so much better than we are. the other nations of the world are at least as petty and corrupt as we are and, since we are the big dog on the block, the u.s. will always be a prime target of their sniping.

The system of capitalism offers those with good stature an opportunity to succeed, but eliminates the rank and file by virtue of availability on the success ladder. There are only so many slots open for success ....

i suppose it all depends on your definition of success. as i've said before, the only limiting factors in a free capitalist society are luck and a willingness to take the necessary risks. social standing and wealth may be shortcuts available to only the few, but even ugly poor folk like me can attain a certain degree of success. believing that success is a right causes more failure than any amount of collusion. excusing indolence is one of america's greatest sins and rewarding it one of our greatest collective failures.

I must say, the future looks dark unless greed takes a holiday.

then circle the wagons pa 'cause the end is nigh. greed is no american invention. hell, it ain't even a strictly human trait. one of the guileless characteristics of conservatism and free capitalism in general is that they acknowledge greed and even use it to feed the society. the wealth that that greed creates allows those that can and will to donate to the general welfare. charity is a uniquely human trait.

Undertheice sez ...

"Believing that success is a right causes more failure than any amount of collusion.
Excusing indolence is one of america's greatest sins and rewarding it one of our greatest collective failures."

^^^ Now THAT is some indepth thinking. ^^^​

I was wondering, undertheice, if you would expand on this a bit:

"My rose colored glasses were stripped from me long ago by the passionate intensity of the worst and replaced with this gaze blank and pitiless by those who lack all conviction."

Thanks ...

America has some beautiful Ntl. Parks like Grand Teton and Yosemite. Of course the current Guvmint is doing everything they can to destroy those. Hopefully the current regime is not long for this world. Things around here are going to get very very ugly economically before they can begin to get better.
